The year of 2022 was filled with breakthroughs, victories, and triumphs. It also contained a number of heartbreaks, setbacks, and disappointments. This was the first year in many where I was unable to venture overseas to minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We also lost loved ones, but celebrate their departure into heaven.

Dawn and I continue to receive prayer requests from people all around the world seeking freedom from spiritual bondage. On one occasion we prayed for a woman who was very distressed. She was tormented with nightmares, voodoo attack, and physical pain. In the name of Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit Dawn and I were able to remove the satanic attacks destroying her life.

Dawn and I had the honor of ministering at numerous conferences and workshops. At one event a seasoned minister of 50 years was in attendance. She had stepped aside from ministry due to burn out and people wounding her. God removed the deep wounding and lit a new fire inside. On another occasion, Dawn and I ministered in Washington State. We were able to train, teach, equip, and impart into the participants. We trained them in the ministry of deliverance and inner healing. God moved powerfully.

Dawn and I have great expectations for 2023, but we know we cannot do it without you. We want to thank you so much for partnering and standing firm with us while we share the love of Jesus. We are so grateful for you.

Giving Thanks

By Nathan D. Pietsch

In November the holiday, “Thanksgiving” is celebrated nationwide throughout the United States. One purpose of the holiday is to reflect upon God’s goodness and be thankful for the blessings in your life. Unfortunately, much of the holiday is now focused on fine dining and watching American football. This is where the potential danger lies.

The Bible warns of the dangers of an unthankful heart. The Bible tells us in Romans 1:20-26 that all people intuitively know there is a God and are without excuse for denying His power or existence. Verse 21 states, “although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful…”

A person who does not glorify or thank God can become victim of the Bible’s warnings. Such a person might become futile in their thoughts, have their hearts darkened, and become foolish. This could result in being given to uncleanness, being overtaken with lust, dishonoring your body, exchanging the truth for a lie, worshiping creation, and being handed over to vile passions.

The Bible clearly states the importance of glorifying God and being thankful. It is not too late to show gratitude. What are you thankful for? Tell the Heavenly Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit what you are grateful for. Also, Dawn and I want to thank you immensely for being a part of our lives.

When Tragedy Strikes

By Nathan D. Pietsch

Check out our Photo Gallery from October, 2022.

Note: The following testimonies and photos are for the Glory of God and His Goodness. It is wonderful to partner with the Heavenly Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit to help people move from dark to light, bondage to freedom, and struggle to destiny.

In the month of October one of my great friend’s grandson was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident. The young man was only 18 years old and his name was Caden. I had met Caden numerous times ever since he was five years old. He was such a delightful young man with a bright shining future. Most importantly Caden loved Jesus.

It is natural to ask the question, “Why?” Why would a moral and spiritual boy depart earth so early? Unfortunately, we may never get the answer on this side of eternity. 

Even in the midst of heartbreak and tragedy we need to hold onto the hope we have in the Heavenly Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. The reality is that God is love and all things are working together for good (1 John 4:8, Romans 8:28). This can be hard to grasp when one is experiencing deep pain, but we must stand on the truth.

This tragedy also made me reevaluate my life. The most important aspect of life is our spiritual fitness. Caden was right with the Lord and is enjoying the splendors of Heaven now. In John 14:6 Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” It is time to surrender every aspect of your life to the Lord and receive Him into your heart. Nobody knows when our final day will be, and that day does not care how many years we have lived.

Breaking Free From Evil Chains

Dawn and I had the amazing opportunity to preach at a ministry retreat. The Heavenly Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit showed up in a powerful way during the music, message, and ministry time.

There were numerous people who spoke, but I shared on breaking free from evil chains. The message was inspired from Acts 16:16-26. The Bible tells us there was a slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination. She would make money for her masters through fortune telling.

The slave girl harassed Paul and Silas for three days. After being annoyed, Paul commanded the evil spirit out in the name of Jesus (Acts 16:17-18). As the spirit left, the evil chains binding the girl spiritually were broken.

This made the slave girl’s master angry and they threw Paul and Silas in prison and chained them inside. While chained, Paul and Silas prayed and sang songs. It was during this moment that the evil chains placed upon them were broken off.

If you feel as if there are evil chains holding you back from moving forward in your life and obtaining breakthroughs, follow the example in Acts to receive freedom. Sing and pray to the Lord. You can also watch the video of my preaching message on this subject.

The Money Has Failed

By Nathan D. Pietsch

In the Book of Genesis, a severe famine struck the land. However, the devastation was revealed to an Epgytian Pharaoh through his dreams and interpreted by Joseph (Genesis 41:1-36). As the severity of the famine increased, the Egyptian’s economic system collapsed. The Bible says in Genesis 47:15, “So when the money failed in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, ‘Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For the money has failed.’”

Many people believe the United States is headed towards an economic collapse. They see inflation out of control and gas prices reaching record highs. We might even hear the words in our lifetime, “The money has failed.”

However, there is good news. God never fails. Jesus said in Matthew 19:26c, “…With God all things are possible.” Now is the time to reassess your life. Do you really believe God is capable of providing for you and your family? Do you believe God is able? Peter caught a fish with a gold coin in its mouth (Matthew 17:27). Jesus multiplied bread and fish to feed thousands of people (Mathew 14:13-21).

I encourage you to draw near to God like never before. “It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed” (Deuteronomy 31:8).

Removing the Unholy Mixture

By Nathan D. Pietsch

Check out our Photo Gallery from July, 2022.

The Heavenly Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit are cleansing the church. According to Ephesians 5:26-27 Jesus is sanctifying and cleansing His bride while removing spot and wrinkle so she should be Holy and without blemish. God is removing unholy mixtures in people.

If you are desiring a personal or global revival, unholy mixtures of evil influencing you needs to be removed. We see an example of this in I Kings 17-18. The Prophet Elijah proclaimed a drought over the land that lasted three and a half years (1 Kings 17:1, James 5:17-18). The drought happened because Israel had forsaken God and turned to worship the false god, Baal. Israel had an unholy mixture polluting their relationship with God.

Elijah called all the people together and said, “How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him (1 Kings 18:21).” Elijah then had a victorious showdown with the false prophets. After the unholy mixture was removed, it began to pour rain (1 Kings 18:45).

In the Bible, rain or water is symbolic of the Holy Spirit. As you press in for a global outpouring of the Holy Spirit pray for the removal of unholy mixtures so the latter rain can pour (Zechariah 10:1). God promised in Joel 2:28-29 that He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh. It is time for the church to remove the unholy mixture staining us so God’s Spirit can freely flow.

Sex Slaves and Human Trafficking

Many people know that I am on the leadership team at an orphanage in Africa. We have branches in Nigeria, Kenya, and the United Kingdom. One of our visions is to rescue victims from the sex trafficking ring. While in Africa I have heard first hand accounts of women who were kidnapped and forced into sexual slavery prostitution. Many Westerners believe this sort of atrocity only occurs in foreign developing nations. I can assure you, that is far from the truth.

Whatever country you are based in, forced prostitution and sex slavery is occurring somewhere in your nation. In the United States, it is very prevalent on the southern border at the U.S./Mexico line. Dawn and I have an African/American missionary friend named Stephanie. The Lord has placed it on her heart to locate to Del Rio, Texas. This town is right on the border. She ministers first hand to illegal drug cartels and kidnappers.

Stephanie’s testimonies are shocking and inspiring. She boldly approaches the cartel and shares the Gospel of the Heavenly Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit with them. She also ministers to the border patrol, whom Stephanie says, “Nearly 50% of the border patrol are suicidal.”

If you would like to contact Stephanie or support her ministry on the southern border, you can contact her directly at cstephanieberry@gmail.com or make a donation through CashApp at: $Bronwyn77.

Healthy Fear

The Bible tells us in 1 John 4:18c: …fear involves torment. However, there is a healthy fear. The fear I am speaking of is the fear of the Lord. The fear of the Lord is to hate evil (Proverbs 8:13a). In other words, it is the fear of the Lord that helps people avoid sinning and performing evil acts.

Jesus taught on the fear of God in Luke 12:4-5: “And I say to you,  My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you,  fear Him!”

If a person has the fear of God, they will not want to perform actions contrary to God because of the consequences. In Deuteronomy 28, the Lord spoke through Moses saying curses would fall upon the children of Israel if they abandoned the instructions of God. Instead of being the head, they would be the tail to their enemies (Deuteronomy 28:44).

One way to bring about change personally, nationally, and globally is to pray for the Holy Spirit to release the fear of the Lord. This is one of the Seven Spirits of God (Isaiah 11:2.) I also encourage you to do a Bible search on the Scriptures containing the words, “fear of the Lord.” God is desiring to bring reformation, but it is rooted in the healthy fear of God.

Enemy at the Gates

Is it possible there are enemies sitting at your spiritual gates or doors stealing your blessings, healings, provisions, miracles, and/or abundant life? The Bible seems to indicate there is a battle raging at your gates. In the Scriptures, gates are a place of significance. There are gates of heaven (Genesis 28:17, Revelation 21:21, gates of hell (Matthew 16:18), and gates of death (Psalm 9:13). Boaz also redeemed Ruth at the gates of his city (Ruth 4:1).

The Strong’s Concordance definition for, “Door” (G2374) is, “A portal, entrance, door, or gate.” In John 10:9 Jesus said, “I am the door (G2374). If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.” This verse speaks not only of salvation (John 14:6), but also not lacking needed supplies.

God is desiring to remove the enemy at your gates, (Judges 5:8, Deuteronomy 28:52), strengthen the bars on your gates (Psalm 147:12-14), and open up the ancient gates (Psalm 24:7). As this happens, you will receive a new level of breakthrough.

Pray: Heavenly Father, please remove all enemies at my gates that might be stealing from me. Please strengthen the bars on my gates so the enemy cannot penetrate them. Please lift up the heads of the gates, and let the everlasting doors be lifted up so the King of glory can come in. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Relight Your Fire

In March, Dawn and I ministered at an event hosted by Kimarie Lamb. It was entitled, The Confirmation Summit. The meeting was designed to help refresh, renew, and refill God’s leaders and ministers. Many of the Lord’s five fold ministers had grown weary and war torn. Some had become faint, discouraged, and wounded.

In Mark 6:31 (NKJV) Jesus said to His disciples, “Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” It was during that time of rest, the disciples were refreshed. The Confirmation Summit gave those in attendance the opportunity for a “mountain top experience.”

People joined the Summit from all over the region. One of the people in attendance was named Carol. Carol and her husband are seasoned ministers with a long history of serving the Lord. Due to unfortunate circumstances and deep wounding from the people she was helping, Carol stepped out of ministry for the past four years. She was so exhausted and discouraged that she never wanted to attend another church service or event. However, the Heavenly Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit gently drew her to the Summit.

God touched Carol in a supernatural and powerful way. He removed the deep wounding and lit a new fire inside her. It was so dramatic she cannot wait to minister again. She has much more to do for the kingdom of God. If you are experiencing fear or fatigue, I encourage you to go aside and rest a while with Jesus.

Spiritual Warfare

Throughout the month of February, Dawn and I received deliverance prayer requests from people nationally and internationally. We have been seeing a tremendous increase in people desiring to set up prayer appointments with us. As tension increases spiritually and politically, some people are becoming desperate.

In one session we prayed for a California woman in her forties named, “Samantha.” Twenty years ago, her boyfriend sold her out to a high ranking satanic warlock. The warlock has been tormenting and torturing her since. The evil man astral projects to her throughout the day and night. He burns her with fire, places Voodoo needles throughout her body, causes bad thoughts, and applies pain to Samantha. At times, Samantha feels her arm burning with fire even though there is no physical fire.

We were able to cast numerous evil forces out of her. During the process, she vomited and spoke with a deep, growling voice. We also closed the spiritual doors that allowed the warlock access to Samantha. In the end, we obtained a great victory for Jesus.

The Apostle Paul wrote in Ephesian 6:12 that we are in a spiritual war. We must know how to be victorious over the forces of darkness. A great way to ensure victory is to declare Scripture. In this Frontline Chronicles edition I have included numerous Scriptures for you to use. The word of God is living and powerful!

Nigeria Mission Trip in Review

I spent the entire month of November, 2021 in Nigeria, Africa. This was my sixth mission trip there. Nigeria is a very difficult place to be. It is stricken with poverty, trash, and chaos. However, the ministry is extraordinary. Everywhere you look, there is a need.

A highlight of my journey was assisting the Unity International Charity Organization. We organized a community ministry outreach where I was able to preach the Bible to those in attendance. The children encountered the Heavenly Father, Jesus, and Holy Spirit in a special way. Several Muslim families were also there. We fed about 250 people total and distributed bags full of clothes.

I then traveled 13 hours to Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministries (www.christmercyland.org). I learn so much from the ministers there. They operate at a level in the Holy Spirit the average American church hasn’t even touched. In addition to my own spiritual strengthening, I am able to preach and help bring freedom to people who are bound by dark forces.

The final leg of my journey consisted of doing ministry outreach in the slums. The living conditions were  shocking. Words cannot properly describe the sub-standard conditions.

I want to thank every person who contributed towards this mission trip. Your gifts went far. We are planning to impact Nigeria in even larger ways.

Whom Shall I Fear?

King David is one of the most well-known characters in the Bible. He was the man who slew Goliath (1 Samuel 17). David killed both lions and bears (1 Samuel 17:36). He was skilled on the harp (1 Samuel 16:23). King David was also considered a man after God’s own heart (1 Samuel 13:14). As a result of his devotion to the Lord, he wrote over 40 psalms.

One of David’s more popular writings is Psalm 27. This psalm is an exuberant declaration of faith. The words of David are as relevant for us today as when he wrote them. I have extracted several verses for you to ponder.

 1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid? 3 Though an army may encamp against me, My heart shall not fear; Though war may rise against me, In this I will be confident. 5 For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock. 13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. 14 Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!

As followers of Jesus Christ, we need to be the example for the rest of the world to see. The promises in the Bible should give us hope and courage. As David said in verse 1, “The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?”
