November, 2013 :: Update from the Mission Field :: Nathan and Dawn Pietsch

written by: Nathan D. Pietsch


Dear Friends and Family,

November was a very stretching month for Dawn and I on the USA mission field. We felt that we were supposed to return to New Orleans. This month was a month of "getting out of the boat, and walking on the water in faith." (Matthew 14:29.) We knew we had just enough money to get to New Orleans, and that was it. Below, you will find a brief update from the mission field, a word of encouragement not to give up before your breakthrough happens, and some special prayer requests. If you are interested in connecting and supporting Nathan and Dawn Pietsch on a personal level you can at: www.allsufficientgod.org.

As full-time missionaries to the United States, we desire to stay true to the call we believe we have received. Our objectives as missionaries is to reach the lost on the streets and in the marketplace in the areas we travel. We accomplish this through power evangelism outreach. Our second objective is to train and equip other churches in power evangelism outreach. Our third objective is to conduct revival meetings and conferences. We have recorded below an update from the mission field.

Mouth of the Mississippi
Since July of this year, it seemed that the Lord was speaking to Dawn and I about returning to New Orleans for season. We were previously in New Orleans for nine months, one and a half years ago. During our previous time in New Orleans, we encountered hundreds of people on the streets. We ministered to witches, Voodoo queens, vampires, drug addicts, gang members, and demon possessed people. New Orleans has been one of the devil’s playgrounds for a long time, with a nasty witchcraft spirit looming over it. However, that is certainly changing, and God is cleaning up this city for His glory.

We are believing God to do a tremendous work in New Orleans and beyond. We were encouraged to discover a prophetic word spoken by Cindy Jacobs way back on August 28, 2005. Cindy said, “Thus says the Lord, ‘I am sending My revival fire. It’s going to begin at the mouth of the Mississippi; it’s going to go all the way up the Mississippi, to Minnesota.’”

Many people consider New Orleans to be the “mouth of the Mississippi.” Many people are still waiting for this prophetic word to come to pass.

In the book of Daniel in the Bible, there are many prophecies Daniel received. Some of those prophecies have already been fulfilled, and some are still waiting to be fulfilled, even though they were written hundreds of years ago. Even though Cindy Jacobs’ word seems “old,” people still consider it relevant for today.

Dawn and I are believing God to bring revival to New Orleans, and for this revival to spread beyond. New Orleans and this nation needs another Great Awakening.

Against the Red Sea
I want to encourage you about not giving up before your breakthrough. After the children of Israel left Egypt, they rebelled by the Red Sea. (Psalm 106:7.) When Pharaoh pursued them and drew near, the Israelites became afraid and fell into sin. (Exodus 14:11-12.) The Israelites wanted to surrender moments before their major breakthrough. Their breakthrough—the parting of the Red Sea—is one of the greatest events in human history. They almost missed out on this spectacular event. You might be moments away from your major breakthrough. Don’t miss out on it. Keep focused on Jesus.

Special Prayer Requests
* Please pray for a great outpouring of God's grace in New Orleans. New Orleans' breakthrough will impact the USA.
* Please pray that the people Nathan and Dawn have ministered to will continue to have amazing encounters with the Lord.
* Please pray for greater provision, protection, and God's wisdom for Nathan, Dawn, and All Sufficient God Church.
* Please pray for Divine connections and appointments.

If you would like to sponsor or invite Nathan and Dawn to go to your church or region, please contact them at: ndpietsch@gmail.com

Lots of Love,
Nathan and Dawn

Observe My Grace

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. I really want you to understand that I am merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. (Psalm 103:8.) I want you to be wise and observe My grace. I want you to understand the lovingkindness of the Lord. (Psalm 107:43.) I am not an angry God, but longsuffering toward people. It is not My desire that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (II Peter 3:9.) Observe My grace.

Grace is undeserved, unearned, and unmerited favor. I am merciful and gracious. (Exodus 34:6.) There are people who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, bound in affliction and irons. They have rebelled against My words and despised My counsel. However, when they cry to Me in their trouble, I save them out of their distresses. I bring them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and break their chains in pieces. I break the gates of bronze, and cut the bars of iron in two. There are fools who are afflicted because of their transgressions and iniquities. They draw near to the gates of death. When they cry to Me, I save them out of their distresses. I send My word and heal them. I deliver them from their destructions. (Psalm 107:10-22.) Observe My grace.


Psalm 103:8
8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

Psalm 107:43
43 Whoever is wise will observe these things,
And they will understand the lovingkindness of the Lord.

II Peter 3:9
9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

Exodus 34:6
6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth,

Psalm 107:10-22
10 Those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
Bound in affliction and irons—
11 Because they rebelled against the words of God,
And despised the counsel of the Most High,
12 Therefore He brought down their heart with labor;
They fell down, and there was none to help.
13 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
And broke their chains in pieces.
15 Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
16 For He has broken the gates of bronze,
And cut the bars of iron in two.

17 Fools, because of their transgression,
And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
18 Their soul abhorred all manner of food,
And they drew near to the gates of death.
19 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.
20 He sent His word and healed them,
And delivered them from their destructions.
21 Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
22 Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
And declare His works with rejoicing.

Holy Communion

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. I want you to have a greater revelation of the broken body and spilled blood of Jesus at the cross. Jesus' body was broken so you could have health, wholeness, and deliverance from the enemy. Jesus' blood was spilled so you could be set free from sin and death. Jesus died so you could have life, and life more abundantly. (John 10:10.)

A lesser known aspect of the Holy Communion is the ability to be delivered from the torments of the devil. When you remember Jesus' death, you are also proclaiming to the principalities and powers that they have been disarmed, because Jesus has triumphed over them. When you release your faith in the finished, complete, and perfect work of Jesus at the cross, every knee must bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord. This means that every demon and all the darkness has to flee. For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes. (I Corinthians 11:26.) Jesus has already disarmed principalities and powers. He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. (Colossians 2:15.) Take communion regularly, and watch the enemy flee.


John 10:10
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

I Corinthians 11:26
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.

Colossians 2:15
15 Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.

Against the Red Sea

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. I do not want you to rebel or quit moments before your major breakthrough. After the children of Israel left Egypt, they rebelled by the Red Sea. (Psalm 106:7.) When Pharaoh pursued them and drew near, the Israelites became afraid and fell into sin. They cried out to Moses saying, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us, to bring us up out of Egypt? Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, ‘Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness.” (Exodus 14:11-12.)

The Israelites fell into sin, rebellion, and wanted to surrender moments before their major breakthrough. Their breakthrough--the parting of the Red Sea--is one of the greatest events in human history. They almost missed out on this spectacular event. You might be moments away from your major breakthrough. Don't miss out on it. Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today...” (Exodus 14:13-14.) If you are up against the Red Sea, keep focused on Us.


Psalm 106:7
7 Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders;
They did not remember the multitude of Your mercies,
But rebelled by the sea—the Red Sea.

Exodus 14:11-12
11 Then they said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us, to bring us up out of Egypt? 12 Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, ‘Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness.”

Exodus 14:13-14
13 And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. 14 The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”

Holy Visitation

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. Today, people all over the world are having holy visitations. People are encountering Us in a deep, personal level that is completely transforming their lives. We are placing a holy fire of passion within them to burn hot for Us. People are encountering angels, the Holy Spirit, Jesus, and Myself in real ways. The veil between heaven and earth, the supernatural and natural is getting thinner. We are invading earth, and We want you to be prepared for a holy visitation.

Holy visitations are nothing new. When Jacob traveled to meet Esau, Our holy angels met him, and Jacob saw them. Jacob's angelic visitation caused him to recognize Us in a deeper way. (Genesis 32:1-2.) The early church personally encountered the Holy Spirit while gathered together in the upper room. They heard a sound from heaven, saw divided tongues of fire, and were filled with the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:1-4.) Saul physically encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus. (Acts 9:1-5.) Moses saw My glory as I passed by him. (Exodus 33:18-23.) You too are worthy of a holy visitation. Begin to ask for, and expect them.


Genesis 32:1-2
1 So Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.  2 When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is God’s camp.” And he called the name of that place Mahanaim.

Acts 2:1-4
1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.  2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.  3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.  4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Acts 9:1-5
1 Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest  2 and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven.  4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”

5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?”

Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”

Exodus 33:18-23
18 And he said, “Please, show me Your glory.”

19 Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”  20 But He said, “You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live.”  21 And the Lord said, “Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock.  22 So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by.  23 Then I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back; but My face shall not be seen.”

Sacrifice of Thanksgiving

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. Did you know when you give a free will offering of thanksgiving to Us, you are actually making a sacrifice? (Leviticus 22:29.) You actually have a choice to be thankful or ungrateful for anything in your life. The apostle Paul was Divinely inspired to write, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7.)

We do not want you to be anxious about anything. However, let your requests be made known to Us by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. Even if you do not understand a situation, you are still called to be thankful in it. Sometimes that is easier said than done, but ask Me to help you have a thankful heart. A thankful heart opens the door to Our presence.
When Solomon dedicated the temple, the people praised and thanked Us. We were so moved by their worship and thankfulness, that We filled the house with Our glory cloud. The people tangibly experienced Our presence. (II Chronicles 5:13-14.) Regardless of your situation, a sacrifice of thanksgiving, will always draw Our attention.


Leviticus 22:29
29 And when you offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Lord, offer it of your own free will.

Philippians 4:6-7
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

II Chronicles 5:13-14
13 indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord, saying:

“For He is good,
For His mercy endures forever,”

that the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud,  14 so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.

The Coming Outpouring

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. I want to give you some insight of what I am about to do upon the earth. I will arise and have mercy upon your city. For the time to favor your city, Yes, the set time, has come. The nations shall fear My name, and all the kings of the earth shall experience My glory. For I shall build up your city, and I shall appear in My glory.

I shall regard the prayer of the destitute, and shall not despise their prayers. This outpouring will be written for the generations to come, that a people yet to be created may praise the Lord. For I have looked down from the height of My sanctuary. From heaven I have viewed the earth. I have heard the groaning of the prisoner, and desire to release those appointed to death, so they can declare My name among the nations. When the peoples and kingdoms are being gathered together, so they can serve the Lord. (Psalm 102:13-22.)

This coming outpouring will require many people to help disciple those freshly coming into Our kingdom. My leaders will need to be firmly planted in the word, and established in Our relationship. Can I count on you to help in this outpouring?


Psalm 102:13-22
13 You will arise and have mercy on Zion;
For the time to favor her,
Yes, the set time, has come.
14 For Your servants take pleasure in her stones,
And show favor to her dust.
15 So the nations shall fear the name of the Lord,
And all the kings of the earth Your glory.
16 For the Lord shall build up Zion;
He shall appear in His glory.
17 He shall regard the prayer of the destitute,
And shall not despise their prayer.
18 This will be written for the generation to come,
That a people yet to be created may praise the Lord.
19 For He looked down from the height of His sanctuary;
From heaven the Lord viewed the earth,
20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner,
To release those appointed to death,
21 To declare the name of the Lord in Zion,
And His praise in Jerusalem,
22 When the peoples are gathered together,
And the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.

Let's Talk

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. Hi, how are you? What would you like to talk about? Did you know you can talk to Me about anything? I am an upclose and personal God. I am also your friend. (John 15:15.) As a friend, you can share what is on your heart with Me. Even though I am God, I'm not embarrassed by the questions, thoughts, or concerns you might have. Maybe there are some things you would like to just get off your chest. If you are laboring and heavy laden, I want you to come to Me so I can give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your soul. My yoke is easy and My burden is light. (Matthew 11:28-30.) Let's talk.

How would you entertain a guest in your home? You would probably at least offer them to sit down. As you begin to talk to Me, listen to My responses. You may think they are your "own thoughts," but I often speak through people's minds as thoughts. Listen to what I am saying in your mind. I might even physically walk into the room like I did with My disciples after My resurrection. (John 20:19-20.)


John 15:15
15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

John 20:19-20
19 Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace be with you.”  20 When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

Rejoicing Cities

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool. (Isaiah 66:1.) All things were created through Me, and for Me. (Colossians 1:16.) That means all the cities of the world are Mine, and I want My cities to rejoice. When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices; and when the wicked perish, there is jubilation. By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted, but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. (Proverbs 11:10-11.)

I want to pour out My blessings over you, so you can be a blessing to My cities. I want to replace the wicked leaders with My righteous leaders. When the wickedness is removed, the oppression over a region lifts. When the oppression over a region lifts, the city can flourish. When the city flourishes, there is great rejoicing.

There was great joy in My city of Samaria because of Philip's obedience to Us. Philip spoke to the people, and We performed miracles through him. Consequently, the oppression over the city began to lift as unclean spirits left the people and territory. This resulted in healings manifesting, and the city celebrating. (Acts 8:6-8.) I also want to use you to bring joy to My cities.


Isaiah 66:1
1 Thus says the Lord:

“Heaven is My throne,
And earth is My footstool.
Where is the house that you will build Me?
And where is the place of My rest?

Colossians 1:16
16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.

Proverbs 11:10-11
10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices;
And when the wicked perish, there is jubilation.
11 By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted,
But it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.

Acts 8:6-8
6 And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. 8 And there was great joy in that city.

Heaven is Jesus

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. During Jesus' earthly ministry, Jesus compared the kingdom of God in multiple ways. Jesus compared the kingdom of heaven to a mustard seed. (Luke 13:18-19.) He likened the kingdom of God to leaven. (Luke 13:20-21.) Jesus compared the kingdom of heaven to treasure hidden in a field when He said, "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field." (Matthew 13:44.) Jesus compared the kingdom of God to a pearl of great price when He said, "The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it." (Matthew 13:45-46.)

Ultimately, heaven is Jesus. If there is no Jesus, there is no heaven. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." (John 14:6.) If Jesus is not the focal point of your life, everything else is empty and fading away. Jesus is the pearl of great price that nothing else can compare to.


Luke 13:18-19
18 Then He said, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? 19 It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and put in his garden; and it grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”

Luke 13:20-21
20 And again He said, “To what shall I liken the kingdom of God? 21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened.”

Matthew 13:44
44 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field."

Matthew 13:45-46
45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, 46 who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

John 14:6
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

Follow the Leader

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. Through Me, you can do all things because I strengthen you. (Philippians 4:13.) Do you believe this? Do you believe I am the same yesterday, today, and forever? (Hebrews 13:8.) Our prophet Ezekiel was told to speak to a valley of dry bones. There was no life in those bones until he spoke Our word forth. Our words through him caused those bones to live. (Ezekiel 37:4-5.) Our words through you, are just as powerful as through Ezekiel. Our words spoken through you, are just as powerful as Our words spoken from Our own mouths. Our words are still Our words, regardless of the mouth piece.

It is time to start speaking Our words, and causing valleys of dry bones to become living. As you closely hear what We are saying, and closely see what We are doing, and then mimic Us, you will see tremendous fruit. During My earthly ministry, I only spoke what I heard the Father speak, and only did what I saw the Father do. (John 12:49-50, John 5:19.) We are ready to use you in powerful ways, but We are the Leaders, and you have to know where the Leaders are going.


Philippians 4:13
13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Hebrews 13:8
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Ezekiel 37:4-5
4 Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live."

John 12:49-50
49 For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. 50 And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.”

John 5:19
19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

You Are My War Club

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. We spoke through Our prophet Haggai saying, "I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory." (Haggai 2:6-7.) I am causing a shaking and a stirring to happen right now among the nations. Everything that can be shaken will eventually be shaken. It is time for Our church to say among the nations, "The Lord reigns."

We want to use you powerfully in the harvest field. We want to use you to destroy the kingdoms of darkness, and lead people into relationship with Us. We want to say to you, "You are my war club, my weapon for battle— with you I shatter nations, with you I destroy kingdoms, with you I shatter horse and rider, with you I shatter chariot and driver, with you I shatter man and woman, with you I shatter old man and youth, with you I shatter young man and young woman, with you I shatter shepherd and flock, with you I shatter farmer and oxen, with you I shatter governors and officials." (Jeremiah 51:20-23.) The shattering causes softness, and the softness welcomes Us. (Psalm 95:8.)


Haggai 2:6-7
6 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. 7 I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the Lord Almighty.

Jeremiah 51:20-23
20 “You are my war club,
    my weapon for battle—
with you I shatter nations,
    with you I destroy kingdoms,
21 with you I shatter horse and rider,
    with you I shatter chariot and driver,
22 with you I shatter man and woman,
    with you I shatter old man and youth,
    with you I shatter young man and young woman,
23 with you I shatter shepherd and flock,
    with you I shatter farmer and oxen,
    with you I shatter governors and officials.

Psalm 95:8
8 “Do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah,
    as you did that day at Massah in the wilderness,

Discern the Wolves

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. Not only do pastor and overseers of Our church have a responsibility to guard the "sheep," but all people in the church have such a responsibility. When Jesus sent out His disciples He said, "I send you out as lambs among wolves." (Luke 10:3.) The wolves are not only on the outside of the church, but they also find their way into the church disguised in "sheep's clothing." It is time for Our church to discern such wolves, expose them, and protect those who are not as strong in the faith.

Paul warned of perilous times and perilous men. Paul wrote, "In the last days perilous times will come: men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. From such people turn away! This sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. (II Timothy 3:1-7.) Ask Me to help you discern the wolves.



Luke 10:3
3 Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

II Timothy 3:1-7
1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Signs and Wonders

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. In My name and in the power of the Holy Spirit, you are called to walk in mighty signs, wonders, and miracles. I am a wonder working God. And I want to partner with you. When I commissioned My disciples, I said to them, "These signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” (Mark 16:17-18.) As they went and preached everywhere, We worked with them and confirmed Our word through the accompanying signs. (Mark 16:20.) Signs and wonders confirm Our word.

When Philip went down to the city of Samaria, he preached Christ to them. The multitudes heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. And there was great joy in that city. (Acts 8:5-8.) When I am preached, and signs and wonders follow your life empowered by Us, there will be great joy in the cities.


Mark 16:17-18
17 "And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Mark 16:20
20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.

Acts 8:5-8
5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them. 6 And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. 8 And there was great joy in that city.

My Promise

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. After Jesus' death and resurrection, He sent My Promise of the Holy Spirit upon the early church. They were to be baptized in the Holy Spirit, and endued with power from on high. (Luke 24:49.) This power was to help them witness in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the end of the earth. (Acts 1:8.) My Promise was not only for a select few, but for everybody who desires to receive it. Believe Me, you want My Promise.

The Holy Spirit will help you speak with other tongues. (Acts 2:4.) When the Holy Spirit is poured out, your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams. (Acts 2:17.) When you are filled with the Holy Spirit, you will speak the word of God with great boldness. (Acts 4:31.) When you are empowered by the Holy Spirit, many signs and wonders will be done among the people. (Acts 5:12.) Sick people, and those who are tormented by unclean spirits, will be healed for Our glory. (Acts 5:16.)

The early church walked in this great power because they received My Promise. This Promise is available to you right now. How much more will I give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Me! (Luke 11:13.)


Luke 24:49
49 Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”

Acts 1:8
8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

Acts 2:4
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Acts 2:17
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams.

Acts 4:31
31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

Acts 5:12
12 And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch.

Acts 5:16
16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

Luke 11:13
13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!

Peace and Rest

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. I will keep you in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Me. (Isaiah 26:3.) I want to give you perfect peace even in the midst of the storm. It is possible to rest through the turbulence. There is a rest I want all the people of God to experience. Be diligent to enter that rest. (Hebrews 4:9-11.)

Jesus is your perfect example. He was able to rest when everyone else thought they were going to die. Jesus told His disciples to cross over to the other side of the sea. However, a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was filling up with water. When the disciples went to Jesus, they found him asleep on a pillow. (Mark 4:35-38.)

If the world seems to be crashing down around you, keep your mind focused on Us. We will keep you in Our perfect peace. When you keep your attention fixed on Us, you will be able to rebuke the winds and the waves of the storms of life. People around you will wonder how you are so peaceful and restful in the midst of chaos. You will be able to steer them to Us.


Isaiah 26:3
3 You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.

Hebrews 4:9-11
9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His. 11 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience.

Mark 4:35-38
35 On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” 36 Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats were also with Him. 37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. 38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?”

Let's Commune Together

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. You might need to get away in seclusion for awhile, so we can spend time together. You might even need to get away from your family for a short season so we can talk. I want to give you direction, revelation, and peace. I want to bless you. I want to help you. I am giving you an invitation into the secret place so we can commune together. When you dwell in the secret place of the Most High, you shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. (Psalm 91:1.)

Going into the secret place usually involves silence and seclusion. It is critical to enter the secret place so you can escape the pressures of life, and fellowship with Me. It doesn't have to be very long. Fifteen minutes a day with Me, will be transforming. During My earthly ministry, I taught about the secret place. I said, "When you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly." (Matthew 6:6.) Come away with Us each day and be refreshed.


Psalm 91:1
1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Matthew 6:6
6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

Youth Army Rising

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Heavenly Father. Do not despise the youth. (I Timothy 4:12.) Despite what the youth might look like now, I have great plans for the youth of the world. They are going to be great tools in My hand. As I spoke through Isaiah saying, “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them”, children are going to lead. (Isaiah 11:6.) Young people are going to be used mightily in the coming days. I will put love, fire, joy, and boldness within them that cannot be extinguished.

I have used numerous young people mightily throughout the ages. Jeremiah was ordained to be a prophet to the nations from his youth. His instructions were to go to all to whom I sent him. Jeremiah was instructed to speak whatever I commanded him. I put My words in his mouth. I set him over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, to pull down, to destroy, to throw down, to build, and to plant. (Jeremiah 1:5-10.) Jeremiah was a youth whom I used mightily. I am raising up an army of youths right now.


I Timothy 4:12
12 Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

Isaiah 11:6
6 “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little child shall lead them."

Jeremiah 1:5-10
5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
Before you were born I sanctified you;
I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”

6 Then said I:

“Ah, Lord God!
Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.”

7 But the Lord said to me:

“Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’
For you shall go to all to whom I send you,
And whatever I command you, you shall speak.
8 Do not be afraid of their faces,
For I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord.

9 Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me:

“Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
10 See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant.”

Pour Out My Spirit

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM the Holy Spirit. During Jesus' earthly ministry, He spoke of some signs to look for indicating His return. Jesus gave insight into the signs of the times and the end of the age. Jesus said, “Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet." (Matthew 24:4-6.)

The prophet Joel also spoke of the last days. Peter preached Joel's prophecy to the multitudes saying, "‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams. And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy. (Acts 2:16-18.)

Jesus warned not to be deceived. However, the true Spirit of God will be poured out too. You will need to be able to discern the false from the truth. Ask Me to help you.


Matthew 24:4-6
4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

Acts 2:16-18
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.
18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
And they shall prophesy.

Ten Days

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. The early disciples waited ten days until the Holy Spirit was released upon them on the day of Pentecost. Pentecost is a Jewish feast held 50 days after Passover. I was crucified during the time of Passover. (John 19:14-16.) After My resurrection, I was then seen by many infallible proofs for forty days. (Acts 1:3.) I told My disciples to tarry in the city of Jerusalem until they were endued with power from on high. (Luke 24:49.)

The early church gathered in an upper room, and continued with one accord in prayer and supplication. (Acts 1:12-14.) Ten days into their waiting period, they received the Father's promise of the Holy Spirit. When they were gathered together, suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind. It filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. (Acts 2:1-4.)

What if the early church didn't wait for the promise? What if they grew impatient and missed out?


John 19:14-16
14 Now it was the Preparation Day of the Passover, and about the sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, “Behold your King!”

15 But they cried out, “Away with Him, away with Him! Crucify Him!”

Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?”

The chief priests answered, “We have no king but Caesar!”

16 Then he delivered Him to them to be crucified. So they took Jesus and led Him away.

Acts 1:3
3 to whom He also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.

Luke 24:49
49 Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”

Acts 1:12-14
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey. 13 And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James. 14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

Acts 2:1-4
1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

October, 2013 :: Update from the Mission Field :: Nathan and Dawn Pietsch

written by Nathan Pietsch
www.allsufficientgod.org

As full-time missionaries to the United States, we desire to stay true to the call we believe we have received. Our objectives as missionaries is to reach the lost on the streets and in the marketplace in the areas we travel. We accomplish this through power evangelism outreach. Our second objective is to train and equip other churches in power evangelism outreach. Our third objective is to conduct revival meetings and conferences. We have recorded below some testimonies from October on the mission field.

Dawn and I were able to go to Hollywood, California and do ministry on the streets. We were able to minister to people on both Sunset and Hollywood Boulevards. There were plenty of people to encounter.

Dawn and I had a "Tattoo Interpretation" sign that we had printed up. Dawn and I are very much against getting tattoos on your body. However, we have found that doing prophetic tattoo interpretations are actually a pretty good way to share the love of Jesus with people. We held the sign and asked people if they wanted a free tattoo interpretation. Many people didn’t know what that meant, so we told them. "If you have a tattoo, show it to us, we will interpret it for you. It will be a specific word for you. It will be a word of encouragement for you."

We were able to look at several people’s tattoos and give them a prophetic word pertaining to what we saw. A guy in his twenties named, "James," had tattoos with demon creatures all over his arms. The tattoo he wanted interpreted was that of a person committing suicide by blowing his brains out with a handgun. I shared with him what Jesus said in John 10:10—
10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Dawn and I began to prophecy life into him in the name of Jesus. To our surprise, he was extremely open to us talking about Jesus. We called him forth into his God-given destiny.

Another guy in his twenties named, "John" asked for a tattoo interpretation. He showed me his forearm, and he had a modified Los Angeles Dodgers, "LA" logo tattooed on his arm. He asked me, "What do you think this means?" I replied, "That’s too easy, ‘LA.’" "No look at it again," he responded. "It is upside down at your angle. It reads, ‘V7.’" I then asked the Lord for some insight on what I should say to John. I heard the words, "Victory," and "Seven is the number of completion." I began to prophecy over John. I said, "God is doing a good work in you right now. He is raising you up to be victorious. He is completing a good work in you. He wants you to be victorious in all areas of your life."

John looked at me, and it appeared that he was going to cry. He said, "I’ve been going through some really tough things in my life right now. Your words make a lot of sense to me. It does seem like God is doing a work in me so I can be victorious in my life. I really appreciate your words."

It is so amazing how God is desiring to encounter people through any means. God is trying to get the attention of all people. All believers have the ability to hear from God, and then deliver His words. His words are always powerful and life-changing.

Your Friend

www.allsufficientgod.org

I AM Jesus. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I am the One who is and who was and who is to come. I am the Almighty. (Revelation 1:8.) I was anointed by God with the Holy Spirit and with power. I went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil. (Acts 10:38.) My eyes are like a flame of fire. My voice is as the sound of many waters. In My right hand are seven stars, and out of My mouth goes a sharp two-edged sword. My countenance is like the sun shining in its strength. I am He who lives, and was dead. I am alive forevermore. I have the keys of hell and of death. (Revelation 1:12-18.) I am the resurrected one with all authority. (Matthew 28:18.) I am a friend. (John 15:15.)

One of the very first things I did after My resurrection, was to have breakfast with My friends by the sea. (John 21:12-14.) I am not some far off god, but I am up close and personal. I am your friend, and I want to dine with you too.

Revelation 1:8
8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Acts 10:38
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.

Revelation 1:12-18
12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands,  13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band.  14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire;  15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters;  16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.  17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last.  18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.

Matthew 28:18
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth."

John 15:15
15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

John 21:12-14
12 Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?”—knowing that it was the Lord.  13 Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish.

14 This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.
