Times of Refreshing
A ministry From North American Saints,
through North American Ministers,
to servants of God

Three days filled with Spirit led worship, encouragement, exhortation, rest, laughter, and blessings at a beautiful hotel/conference center.

Times of Refreshing are under the direction of Bill and Emogene Kaiser of Ft Worth, Texas. A dedicated team of ministers travel into various countries where missionaries serve God and invite them to pause in their labors to come and be refreshed. There is no cost to the missionaries. Expenses are always paid for in full by Christians in North America who share the Kaiser’s vision for supporting and refreshing those who are “taking the good news into the whole world.”

Times Of Refreshing is a great way for those at home to say to faithful missionaries all over the world, ”We know that you are out there and we care about you.”

Often this simple demonstration of your love through giving to support this outreach makes the difference between discouragement and joy; between quitting and enduring; between failure and success!

Great care goes into making this a special time for missionaries. They are not asked to join an organization. There are no hidden agendas. No offerings are taken. This is simply time set aside for our missionaries to relax and listen to God.

Times of Refreshing began in 1987. In 30 years, we have held 38 gatherings in Germany, Holland, Switzerland, England, Albania, Austria, Romania, Turkey, Russia and Singapore.

(original text & contents please click on the image above)

This version Adapted & Edited by Bob Bonnell, 53 years later, for the purposes of understanding the message in 2018 in the light of my new book: "Be Bold Believe, The Miracle of CommunionFire" Available now on Amazon, iTunes, Barnes & Noble and other outlets worldwide. Origin: Bill Bright, Founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, wrote his original tract (the basis for the Classic Booklet pictured above) in 1952. It was 1965 before the first booklet was printed and distributed as seen above. I personally accepted Christ as my personal Lord and Savior, January 17, 1971 the day after being presented the 4 Spiritual Laws by 4 Campus Crusaders at the home of Pastor Beau Matthews in Manlius, New York.

​​The text below is what I have adapted based on my 47 years of my journey with Jesus. 

​1. God loves you & created you to know Him personally, one-on-one.

God's Love
"God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16).

God's Plan
"Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent" (John 17:3, NIV).

What prevents us from knowing God personally?

2. Our sinful nature separates us from God, so knowing Him or experiencing His love personally seems out of reach.

A sinful nature is a condition we are born with and rules our decisions and life path"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).

But God: created us have fellowship with Him and because we have our own stubborn self-will, without Him, we choose to go our own way and this keeps us from fellowship with God. This began with the first humans when, through disobedience, fellowship with God was broken. This self-will, over the centuries has become characterized by an attitude of active rebellion and indifference. This attitude becomes a lifestyle and is evidence for what what the Bible calls sin.

Our Sin Can Separate Us from Knowing God's Love until Death. "The final payout of sin is death" [our spiritual separation from God] (Romans 6:23)....

​(Those) who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus...will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from ever being in the presence of the Lord..." (2 Thessalonians 1:8,9)​

​
This diagram illustrates that God is holy and man is sinful. So, a great sin-space separates us. The arrows illustrate that man is continually trying to reach God and establish a personal relationship with Him through his own strength and efforts, such as personal goodness, science or religion - but he inevitably fails.

The third principle explains God's only way to bridge the separation

3. Jesus Christ is God's only provision for man's sin.
Through Jesus Christ alone we can know God personally and experience His love.

​Jesus is God's only Son; clean, pure, holy and free our sinful nature...

Jesus alone was qualified by His Father to take our sin upon Himself & to pay the death penalty alone for each one of us. So, God's Son, Jesus Christ, became a man and was named Jesus born of His mother, Mary. He was raised as a man and had been born to tell this good news to the world. He demonstrated God's love, through many signs, wonders and miracles. Then at God's appointed time Jesus Christ carried all our sin upon Himself to pay the death penalty demanded by the Law of Moses.

God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinful and separated from Him, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).

He descended to hell and took back the keys of Sin, Death and Hell from the devil and took back the absolute eternal authority to offer eternal life to all who believe His message, the Gospel of His Eternal Kingdom.

"For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living." (Romans 14:9)

He Confirmed His authority when He Rose From among the Dead and revealed Himself to those who were on the earth.

"Christ died for our sins...He was buried...He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures...He appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred..." (1 Corinthians 15:3-6).

Jesus is the Only Way to God

Jesus said to us, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me'" (John 14:6).

This diagram illustrates that God has bridged the gulf that separates us from Him by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross in our place to pay the penalty for our sins.

However, it is not enough just to know these truths...

These two circles represent two kinds of lives:] 
Which circle best represents your life?
Which circle would you like to have represent your life?
The following explains how you can receive Christ:

You Can Receive Christ Right Now by Faith Through Prayer

(Prayer is talking with God)

God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. The following is a suggested prayer:

"Lord Jesus, I want to know You personally.

Thank You for carrying the weight of all my sin and for taking the penalty of my death sentence by your suffering and death on the cross for me.

I open the door of my life to welcome You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving me of my sins and giving me eternal life. I invite you to take control of the throne of my life. May your love transform me to become the person You always intended me to be.

"Did you just pray this prayer?

• YES

I still have questions

How to Know That Christ Is in Your Life

​Did you receive Christ into your life? According to His promise in Revelation 3:20, where is Christ right now in relation to you? Christ said that He would come into your life and be your friend so you can know Him personally. Would He mislead you? On what authority do you know that God has answered your prayer? (The trustworthiness of God Himself and His Word.)

The Bible Promises Eternal Life to All Who Receive Christ "The witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life" (1 John 5:11-13).

Thank God often that Christ is in your life and that He will never leave you (Hebrews 13:5). You can know on the basis of His promise that Christ lives in you and that you have eternal life from the very moment you invite Him in. He will not deceive you.

​An important reminder... Do Not Depend on Feelings

The promise of God's Word, the Bible - not our feelings - is our authority.

The Christian lives by faith (trust) in the trustworthiness of God Himself and His Word.
This train diagram illustrates the relationship among fact (God and His Word), faith (our trust in God and His Word), and feeling (the result of our faith and obedience) (John 14:21).

The train will run with or without the caboose. However, it would be useless to attempt to pull the train by the caboose. In the same way, we as Christians do not depend on feelings or emotions, but we place our faith (trust) in the trustworthiness of God and the promises of His Word.

Now That You Have Entered Into a Personal Relationship With ChristThe moment you received Christ by faith, as an act of your will, many things happened, including the following:

1. Christ came into your life (Revelation 3:20 and Colossians 1:27).
2. Your sins were forgiven (Colossians 1:14).
3. You became a child of God (John 1:12).
4. You received eternal life (John 5:24).
5. You began the great adventure for which God created you (John 10:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17 and 1 Thessalonians 5:18).

Can you think of anything more wonderful that could happen to you than entering into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ? Would you like to thank God in prayer right now for what He has done for you?

By thanking God, you demonstrate your faith.
To enjoy your new relationship with God...

Suggestions For Christian Growth

Spiritual growth results from trusting Jesus Christ. "The righteous man shall live by faith" (Galatians 3:11). A life of faith will enable you to trust God increasingly with every detail of your life, and to practice the following:

G Go to God in prayer daily (John 15:7).R Read God's Word daily (Acts 17:11) - begin with the Gospel of John.O Obey God moment by moment (John 14:21).W Witness for Christ by your life and words (Matthew 4:19; John 15:8).T Trust God for every detail of your life (1 Peter 5:7).H Holy Spirit - Allow Him to control and empower your daily life and witness (Galatians 5:16,17; Acts 1:8).

The Importance of Baptism

The view of most evangelical Christian scholars is that salvation is by grace through faith alone. This is especially indicated by Ephesians 2:8-9, John 3:16, 1 John 5:1. It is important to understand that baptism is a result of salvation, not a cause.

There are different baptism methods. They may include the sprinkling of water over the head of the professing believer or the total immersion of the person under water (Greek: "Baptismo" = to immerse). However, the procedure is not as important as the individual's understanding and motivation to seek baptism.

Some cite Mark 16:16 as their proof text that baptism is necessary for salvation, but they only quote the first half of the verse and typically leave out the second half, which indicates the necessity of belief as being the prerequisite to the salvation issue.

The way to resolve most problems pertaining to the issue of baptism is to look at the whole of Scripture. When we do, we find that there is absolutely nothing we can do as humans to earn salvation. Romans 6:23 tells us that salvation is a "free gift." Free means that there is nothing we can do to deserve it. On the other hand, baptism is something we choose to do. If baptism or any other human work or activity (such as going to church regularly, going on a pilgrimage or visiting a "holy site") contributed to our salvation, we could boast that we did something and contributed to our salvation. However, Scripture says that no one should boast before God Ephesians 2:8-9 .

We come to Christ though grace by faith, and our public baptism brings glory and honor to God. Baptism is an act of obedience, not to obtain salvation, but because of it -- because we love Him and want to obey Him. The motivation to pursue baptism should originate from a desire to show to the world an outward demonstration of the person's decision as well as the inward work the Holy Spirit has already begun in us. An unsaved person would not likely want to be baptized, because he would not have the Holy Spirit indwelling him to prompt his desire to follow Christ in obedience (unless a sect or cult group has erroneously taught him or her otherwise.)

The fact that one even wants to be baptized (being assured that only faith alone in Jesus Christ saves) is evidence that the Holy Spirit already indwells that person, a result of being born of the Spirit by faith alone.

In the book of Acts, baptism is typically the outward response to coming to faith. It was seen as part of a process which includes:

1) hearing (or reading about) the gospel,

2) being convicted and led by the Holy Spirit to confess one's sins (Greek: "Homologeo" = to agree with, to speak the same),

3) coming to faith in Jesus Christ as Savior,

4) beginning the progress of growth (which includes repenting from known sin),

5) joining a group of believers or church fellowship, and

​6) being baptized. The last two parts are where there are different opinions among believers or churches.

Where some churches differ with what has been stated above chiefly centers on whether a person is saved if they have not been baptized (or if they have not been baptized the "right" way). In our understanding a person is saved when they put their faith in Christ. Of course, we all want them to join a church which exalts Christ and be baptized.

Fellowship In a Good Church

God's Word admonishes us not to forsake "the assembling of ourselves together..." (Hebrews 10:25). Several logs burn brightly together; but put one aside on the cold hearth and the fire goes out. So it is with your relationship with other Christians. If you do not belong to a church, do not wait to be invited. Take the initiative; call the pastor of a nearby church where Christ is honored and His Word is preached. Start this week, and make plans to attend regularly.

HARBINGERS 2017 2017 The 100th Anniversary of The Miracle of Fatima      10/2/2017
0 Comments

3 KEYS and 7 Harbingers What's Next?

2017 The 100th Anniversary of The Miracle of Fatima with The 6 Appearances of Holy Mother to the 3 children of Fatima (May 13-October 13 1917) as a pre-cursor or foreshadowing sign of Queen Mary, Virgin Mother of Jesus, Theotokos Mother of God pointing to 100 years later when her Children of Faith looking for the Miracle of her Son Jesus to come in the clouds with power and great glory!

Just like the Miracle of the Sun in 1917, in 2017, May 13th-October 13th the same time period: On May 13th Pope Francis Consecrated Saint Jacinta and Saint Francesco as the youngest Saints ever canonized in the History of the Catholic Faith.

August 13th in 1917 when the 3 innocent children were falsely arrested delaying their meeting with Mary until 8/21/1917 - pointed to 8/21/2017 the time when the Miracle of the USA Total Solar Eclipse would happen. This was immediately followed by the weather attacks of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma that broke loose as a 'season of sorrows' in the USA with neighbors and territories of Mexico and the Caribbean Islands.

September 13th when 30,000 gathered in Fatima Holy Mother announced that the Miracle in 30 days would confirm from heaven the messages delivered by her to the 3 children. This pointed to the two earthquakes in Mexico as another round of natural disasters on the North American Continent. Our Lady of Guadalupe is the Patron of North and South Americas and Our Mother of the Immaculate Conception is the Patron of The United State of America.

Then on September 23, 2017 there was the Miracle of the Constellation alignments of Leo the King (Jesus Lion of Judah) aligning astronomically with Virgo (Holy Virgin Mother Mary, Queen of Heaven with a crown of 12 stars) pointing to Revelation 12:1-2;

October 13th The EVENT of the Miracle of the SUN - which came toward earth to the 70,000 who thought they would die (the dead in Christ shall rise first) then pulled back and began to spin and dance in the sky pointing to (those who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with the Lord) leaving all who were drenched by the rain, and the ground all dried and the lame walked and the blind could see and the deaf could hear in Fatima 1917 pointing towards The Miracle of Her SON, our Lord, and Savior, Jesus Christ, our blessed hope who will be coming in the clouds with power and great glory!) 

*KEY of Total Solar Eclipse: While the natural sun is darkened by the moon the Son of righteousness will arise with healing in His wings and shine brighter and brighter until the full day!

Total Solar Eclipse; Harbinger (weapon) 1 Hurricane Harvey (landed on Corpus Christi (the Body of Christ) then went inland to Houston; Harbinger 2 is 8.3 Earthquake in Mexico; Harbinger 3 Hurricane Irma; Harbinger 4 Hurricanes Jose and Maria (Joseph and Mary) 

**KEY Revelation 12:1-2   9/23/17   Constellation of King Jesus and Queen Mother Mary in form of the constellations of Leo and Virgo

Harbinger 5 is 7.1 Earthquake in Mexico City followed by two social earthquakes hitting the USA Professional NFL Athletes in stadiums around the world... countless millions battling on the grounds of perceived good and evil (the same fruit the serpent got Adam and Eve to eat - knowledge of good and evil is ruled by the law that points out sin and leads to a death sentence.

*** KEY Rosh Hashanah and the Feast of Trumpets   September 20-22

Harbinger 6 is Attack on the innocent of social issues manifested in the likes of campus unrest, the NFL and the lethargy of Christian people to pray and seek God for His solution in His Son, our Lord Jesus. The only solution to the knowledge of good and evil is the revelation in  the face of Jesus Christ and knowing His voice as His sheep, the flock in His pasture. Anything else is the zero solution issue of our arrogance and  inability to do justly in our own strength because without Jesus it is an impossible equation that is deplete of His mercy as we are left to our own ignorance..

Harbinger 7     October 2, 2017   Then the Entertainment Industry of Las Vegas during an outdoor concert with 30,000 people on October 2, just after Yom Kippur the Day of Atonement 9/30/17 (shedding the blood the of the innocent lamb) remember Yom Kippur War in Israel? Now the enemy chooses the capital of entertainment in Las Vegas as the place to create terror on the innocent through a lone wolf!

In 40 days between 
​
Most devastating Hurricanes in U.S. History Combination of Harvey, Irma, Jose and Maria

​Most devastating earthquakes in Mexico's history 8.3 and 7.1

Most horrific shooting in U.S. History (58 killed so far and 515 Injured so far)

The issue isn't good and evil being judgments sent by God, it is that it happened where God's mercy may be greatest of all, where The Lord sends His light out to nations around the world like a city set on a hill in the last days.  

The enemy wants to compromise the testimony of Jesus as the Good Shepherd who came as The Lamb of God to take away the sins of the world removing judgment on all that believe! 

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want, makes me lie down in green pastures beside the still waters to restore my soul. 

He leads me in the paths of His Testimony, His Story, the paths of salvation and righteousness which He purchased for all who believe on His name. 

And even though He leads us into the valley of the shadows of His death on the Cross we will fear NO EVIL for He is holding our hands, His rod and staff will protect and comfort us and then 

He invites us to His Table in the wilderness to dine with Him in the faces of our mutual enemies. 

While there Dining with Him, we dine upon His presence and it touches our heads like anointing oil opening the revelation of His grace and glory, faithfulness, life, love and hope until our hearts overflow with His goodness and mercy. so that 

Others may see and hear and know His Good News. 

His goodness, mercy and love in our lives, draws others to Him and they believe because they see the reality of hope within us to be with Him and dwell with Him forever! 

Keep your hearts open and lift your hands looking to the skies and the clouds where Jesus is returning with power and great glory, with the voice of the Archangel and the Trump of God the final blast of the feast of Trumpets this year was on September 30th just 14 days before October 13th! Be ready for you know not when the Lord comes but you do know the season... 

The Next 12 days October 2 - 13 2017

Who are the 70,000 of 1917 pointing their witness to the testimony of the dancing sun that spun in the sky at the bequest of the Holy Virgin to confirm the word of Her Son to the 3 children?  What does their witness mean to us in the next 2 weeks of October, 2017? 

What has the enemy planned to distract us and 
What are the Lord's plans to Manifest Victory! 

Know this: the Lord Jesus will hear every tear and then exchange His beauty for your ashes, His oil of joy for your mourning, the garment of praise for your spirit of heaviness that He might be glorified now and forever!

ESCLJ Even So, Come Lord Jesus
Revelation 22:20 the final prayer of the Church

LikeComment from Mary Wainwright Douglass
Bob Bonnell Comment: <3 Thank you Mary Wainwright Douglass

​
As I received and gently ate my piece of the Bread of Life in Communion this morning: 🍞 I saw a water brook... the same water brook in the woods... fresh running stream opened up to become a swirling downspout. It was Jesus standing nearby and looking contemplatively with approval... the water almost 'danced' as it made its way into the pounding, swirling phenomenon of glory...

Then In the wine of His most precious blood 🍷 from the center of the downward spiral I saw a geyser shoot up from the deepest part into the sky and saw the trees and mountains and hills rejoicing as the sparkle of the guyser released its blessings upon the wind and across the earth and onto people and homes and businesses and the whole world was rejoicing.

​
O/F (#InTheOverFlow) 

🎆🚿💞☦️💦🔥🙌👏👋☝️👩‍👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👩‍👧🙇🙏 

I realized Jesus was taking any situation in the natural wherever my lack of faith brings The Lord's blessing that creates a fresh babbling (laughing) brook flowing even in the woods of my interior to turn to a downward spiral that dances into the deepest parts of my life, my heart and my spirit when it reaches the bedrock of Jesus inside me then rises by His resurrection power like a gyeser of Blessing up into my heart, mind and body exploding into a mighty fountain of blessing that showers, sprinkles, and created rivlets and rivers of blessing within me and then through me so that others may be blessed by Jesus by the overflow of His Holy Spirit at work within me, and through me because of His life and love given in a small piece of a morsal of the bread of life and a sip of love from His new and everlasting covenant. All praise and thank to Jesus for His wonderfulness! Have a blessed day!

Joe and I started working together to pick up and deliver excess bread from an overstock warehouse once a week. For months in those early days Camille and I were learning to live by faith. Through a remarkable series of events, I became homebound, unable physically to work and was able to stay totally focused on my new role as The Communion Pastor. It was at first an awkward title but seemed to fit our newly emerging ministry, mission and message. My only other job was volunteering with Joe to help with the weekly bread distribution! What? Yes the Commnion Pastor was delivering bread to the hungry and homeless and needy neighbors (Camille and I lived on this bread for months and meager groceries ourselves, as part of those in need.) 

The Lord led Joe and I to start sharing Communion on various mornings and then after we started delivering bread, we moved the morning meetings to Saturdays at Seaside Community Church. This is an entry to the early days of those midweek morning gatherings that eventually became the Saturday meetings. 

We shared Commnion at the church one morning and the vocabulary used in the journalin was developing so that we referred to the bread and wine as "in the bread" and "in the cup". This meant that the journal entry was documenting what the Lord would show someone and or tell someone something during the Communion experience.

Pastor was the first to share and then one by one each of the men shared their experiences. Over the next 7 months the men's group was a regular host to sharing the Table of the Lord. One night, we had a foot-washing, Communion and shared CommunionFire encounters among 26 men. 

It was during this time that I started to keep a daily journal for Camille and I each day and whenever and wherever we shared about ComunionFire outside our home. 5 years later we have just begun the 21st CommunionFire Journal and have hand-written over 4,000 pages and almost a a quarter million words.

As of this year I have begun sharing the CommunionFire ministry on The BeBoldBelieveNetwork GoLiveDaily CommunionFire on Facebook (Live every day) and then I transfer each production to You Tube. We have just completed our 200th GoLiveDaily program!

We reach people all over the world and hope that CommunionFire is being ignited in the hearts, homes and house groups and churches all over the world. Please pray for us. We thank you for 5 years of sharing the warmth of the CommunionFire ignited in the presence of Jesus Christ at His Holy Table and made possible by His broken Body and pouured out blood! Thanks Seaside Community Church, Joe and Pastor Tim for supporting us in the early days!
