JIMMY SWAGGART MINISTRIES
FIRST TELEVISION BROADCAST
Editor's Note: This article is an excerpt from the book, To Cross A
River, by Jimmy Swaggart with Robert Paul Lamb (1977).
IN 1973, I BEGAN production of our weekly television program.
Actually, I had been just as opposed to going into television as I had
been radio. I guess fear played a large part in my reluctance. There
were so many excellent Christian television programs already being
produced and I didn’t feel as if I had anything special to offer. Yet the
Lord continued prodding me until I obeyed.
At first we attempted to tape the program in Baton Rouge. The
production was atrocious. Then we switched to New Orleans without
any improvement. I kept telling Frances, “I can’t do it, I can’t do it.”
Then one Sunday night I had a free evening in Baton Rouge and
Frances and I decided to go to church. Riding along in the car, the
Lord suddenly spoke to me. “The next time you say you can’t do
something I’ve told you to do, I’m going to count it as a sin. It will be
like cursing Me, and you’ll have to ask Me to forgive you.” I looked
out the window. The Lord didn’t have to tell me He was talking about
television — I knew it.
Something about the way God spoke to me melted my rebellion. From
that day on, when I stepped before the camera, things happened. The
Lord began immediately to bless our efforts.
The next month I stopped over in Nashville and walked into the studio
where the nationally syndicated show Hee Haw was produced. I was
impressed with the facilities and found the production staff willing to
help us. In prayer, I turned the matter over to the Lord.
Utilizing the Nashville studio, the television program took on a new
flavor. I wanted to devote much of the program to good country-gospel
music, so I hired some of the best I could find. Henry Slaughter, Jim
Dumas, and Joe Edwards joined us to improve our performance. With
Phil Johnson of Heartwarming Records and a group of singers doing
background vocals, the musical part of the program became top-drawer.
The format was simple, yet effective. The first 15 or 20 minutes of the
show was music, another 10 minutes was used for a Bible message,
and the rest of the time was given to various announcements of our
meetings and album offers.
The toughest part taping the programs became the schedule. To
coordinate my schedule with the studio’s we had to tape 24 of the
half-hour programs in a single week’s time. Humanly speaking, that
seemed impossible. The only way it could ever be done was with
the Lord’s help.

FROM BROTHER SWAGGART »
“Back
“
in 1972, the Lord told me to go on television.
He guided the telecast in every respect. We were
one of the first to give altar calls over television,
which resulted in untold thousands coming to
Christ. We were one of the first, all according to
the command of the Lord, to translate the programming from English to different languages,
with such programming aired in those respective
countries, whatever and wherever they may have
been. To my knowledge, we were the very first
by television to pray for people to be baptized
with the Holy Spirit. Many preachers told us that
it wouldn’t work, but it did. Actually, thousands
were baptized with the Spirit with the evidence of
speaking with other tongues.”
ONE MINISTRY. ONE MESSAGE. 60 YEARS.
Participants in the
Battle of Armageddon
By Jimmy Swaggart
“And He gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon” (Rev. 16:16).
There is no
evidence that
anyone in the
world at that time,
even America,
will stand up for
Israel. In other
words, they will
more than likely
be facing the
most powerful
army the world
has ever known,
and they will do
so alone.
WE WILL DEAL WITH Israel first.
There is no evidence that anyone in the world
at that time, even America, will stand up for
Israel. In other words, they will more than
likely be facing the most powerful army the
world has ever known, and they will do so
alone. There is no indication in the Bible, of
which I am aware, that speaks of any nation
in the world helping Israel at that time. It
will be somewhat like the situation was at the
outset of World War II. Ships loaded with tens
of thousands of Jewish refugees sailed from
Europe and tried to find harbor in New York
City. President Roosevelt would not allow them
to disembark. His reason: it might antagonize Herr Hitler. Some of the same ships went
down to South America but, again, to no avail.
They concluded their journey by going back
to Europe, with most of those Jews gassed to
death in the concentration camps. Among
other things, no doubt, Hitler reasoned that
no one cared if Jews lived or died, so he could
take his freedom in slaughtering as many as
he could find, and that’s exactly what he did.
That’s at least one of the reasons that America,
plus most other nations of the world, had a
guilty conscience after World War II. America
knew that she could have exerted some pressure on Hitler, which would have lessened the
blow, but the upshot was, nothing was done.
In the coming great tribulation, likewise, the
greater majority, if not all the nations of the
world, will have no desire to antagonize the
Man of Sin. The evidence is that even those
who will consider themselves to be neutral will
not lift a hand to help Israel so as not to bring
6 MARCH 2015 THE EVANGELIST
the wrath of the Antichrist upon their heads.
It must be remembered that at that particular
time, at least, for the first few days, it will look
as though the Antichrist is going to accomplish what Haman, Herod, and Hitler did not
do. It will look as though he is going to annihilate every Jew, which means a wholesale
massacre. So, Israel will fight alone.
And yet, despite being outnumbered, possibly
hundreds to one, the great Prophet Zechariah
did say the following:
“In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants
of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at
that day shall be as David; and the house of David
shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before
them” (Zech. 12:8).
THE ANOINTING OF POWER
The idea of all of this is, even though the army
of Israel will, no doubt, be outnumbered greatly
by the army of the Antichrist, still, the Lord
will make the Israeli soldiers as David of old,
meaning that one will have the strength of 10
men or more. And then, the tribe of Judah will
have the unexcelled power of God. But still,
even though this supernatural ability given to
the Jewish soldiers by the Lord will help greatly,
that alone will not see them through because
of the overwhelming superiority of the army of
the Antichrist.
However, as one might say, as that which the
Lord will do will be so very, very helpful, still, it
is not the main entrée. The main entrée will be
the second coming of the Lord, which we will
deal with later.
THE
PRICELESS CORNER
PARTICIPANTS IN THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON
We have set aside this corner of The Evangelist to show
God’s Plan of Salvation. If you are unsure where you will go
when you die, please listen to what God has said in His Word:
FIRST: GOD LOVES YOU!
THE ARMY OF THE ANTICHRIST
While the Bible gives us a few clues regarding that of which this army will
be made, I’m sure it is only scratching the surface. No doubt, every nation
conquered by the Antichrist will be forced to supply as many soldiers as the
Man of Sin says are needed.
The Bible does give us a clue about at least some of those who will be with
the Man of Sin.
The first one is Persia. This, of course, is Iran. Many people do not know
that Iran is not Arab, but rather Persian. Its history goes back some 2,500
years. The Iranians now, as is obvious, are rabid haters of Israel, swearing
her destruction time and time again. In fact, Israel, at this present time,
is on the horns of a dilemma. They have the power to take out Iran, but it
would entail the slaughter of tens of thousands of Iranians, which the world
would not sanction. At the same time, America, sadly and regrettably, is
not doing anything about the proliferation of atomic power regarding Iran,
which is working feverishly to develop its own atomic arsenal. Strangely
enough, the surrounding Arab nations wish that Israel would do something
simply because Iran hates them almost as much as they hate Israel. So, Israel
is attempting to slow down, if not halt, the atomic development in Iran by
taking out, in various different ways, her top scientists, etc. Israel is fastly
finding herself with precious few friends. That’s the reason that when the
Antichrist makes his debut, claiming to be able to solve the problem between
Israel and the Muslims, and, in fact, will do so, this will be the greatest thing
in the eyes of the world that has happened in the last several decades.
Israel also listed the following countries:
»» Ethiopia: This is a small country located on the eastern side of the middle
part of the continent of Africa. About all they could contribute to the
army of the Antichrist would be soldiers, but yet, of little consequence.
»» Libya: this little country is in northern Africa and, as well, can supply
precious little in the form of military help.
If it is to be noticed, when the Bible mentions weapons of war, it mentions
that which is indicative of that particular time, such as the sword, bucklers
and shields. However, that doesn’t mean that this battle will be fought with
weapons of antiquity. Far from it! In fact, the Antichrist, no doubt, will have
the finest weaponry in the world. And yet, it is doubtful that he will have
atomic bombs.
It should be obvious that if the sacred writers had used the names of modern
weapons, Bible scholars for many centuries would have been deeply puzzled,
not understanding at all what the names of the weapons would have meant.
So, the weapons of that time were rightly listed. However, make no mistake
about it, the weapons that will be used in the coming great tribulation will
be the very finest available.
»» Gomer: There is some small evidence that these people came from the
Ukraine, which was a part of the Soviet Union when communism was in
power. It now has its own sovereignty. Some have claimed that Gomer
referred to Germany; however, there is really no proof of that.
“For God so loved the world that he gave His only Begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but
have Everlasting Life” (Jn. 3:16).
SECOND: MAN IS A SINNER, AND SIN
HAS SEPARATED HIM FROM GOD
“For there is not a just man upon Earth, that doeth good and
sinneth not” (Eccl. 7:20).
“For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God”
(Rom. 3:23).
THIRD: JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY REMEDY FOR SIN
“For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the
unjust, that He might bring us to God ...” (I Pet. 3:18).
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other
name under Heaven given among men, whereby we must
be saved” (Acts 4:12).
FOURTH: YOU MUST RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST
AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOUR
Jesus calls this experience the new bir th. He told
Nicodemus: “... Except a man be born again, he cannot
see the Kingdom of God” (Jn. 3:3).
We invite you now to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your
personal Saviour. “But as many as received Him, to them
gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them
that believe on His Name” (Jn. 1:12).
WE BELIEVE:
»»The Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative
written Word of God. (Ps. 119; Mat. 4:4; Lk. 24:27)
»»There is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: God
the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (I Jn. 5:7)
»»In the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His Virgin Birth, in
His Sinless Life, in His Miracles, in His Vicarious and atoning
Death, in His Bodily Resurrection, in His Ascension to the
Right Hand of the Father, in His personal future return to
this Earth in Power and Glory to rule a thousand years. (Jn.
1:1-4; Eph. 2:13-18; Rev., Chpts. 19-20)
»»In the Blessed Hope — the Rapture of the Church at Christ’s
Coming. (I Thess. 4:13-18)
»»The only means of being cleansed from sin is through
Repentance and Faith in the Precious Blood of Christ.
(Rom. 5:1; Eph. 2:8-9, 13-18)
»»Regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential for
personal Salvation. (Jn. 3:5-8; Titus 3:5)
»»The Redemptive Work of Christ on the Cross provides
Healing of the human body in answer to believing prayer.
(Ex. 15:25-26; James 5:14-15; I Pet. 2:24)
»»The Baptism with the Holy Spirit according to Acts 2:4 is
given to Believers who ask for it. (Acts 2:4; 10:44-46; 19:1-7)
»»In the Sanctifying Power of the Holy Spirit by Whose
indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life. (Rom.
6:3-14; 8:1-2, 11)
»»In the Resurrection of both the saved and the lost: the one
to Everlasting Life and the other to everlasting damnation.
(Rev. 20:5-6, 11-15)
Pray this prayer and mean it with all of your heart:
“Dear
“
Lord Jesus, I now realize that I am a sinner. I accept
the fact that You died for me on the rugged Cross of Calvary.
I now open my heart’s door and receive You as Saviour
and Lord of my life. Please take full control of me and help
me to be the kind of Christian You want me to be. Amen.”
If you prayed this prayer in all sincerity, you are now a Child
of God. So that we might rejoice with you, we invite you to

»» Togarmah: some think these people
may have come from what is now Iraq,
but again, that is only speculative.
AT THE TIME OF THE BATTLE
OF ARMAGEDDON, WHAT
PART WILL MUSLIMS PLAY?
We have already alluded to the following but allow me to elaborate. While,
no doubt, great promises will be made
to the Muslims at the beginning of the
great tribulation, the hour will come
that the Man of Sin will set himself up
as God. This will be at about the midpoint of the seven-year period. So, the
promises he will have made to the Muslims at the outset, that is, if he, in fact,
does make promises, will, no doubt, be
completely ignored.
From the way Daniel describes the
Antichrist, he cannot tolerate and, in
fact, will not tolerate any competing
religion of any kind. He will claim to be
God, so that doesn’t leave any room for
competing religions such as Islam, etc.
the east and out of the north,” which, as
stated, could very well be Russia and
China, he will then turn his attention
to Israel. They will be the only people
on the face of the earth of that time,
of which we have any knowledge, who
will oppose the Antichrist.
The Man of Sin will turn on Israel at
the midpoint of the great tribulation,
with Israel then fleeing to Petra, which
is in Jordan. He will hear these evil tidings out of the east and out of the north
and will leave Israel and will set about
to take care of this pressing problem.
With the Antichrist having moved his
vast army, Israel will begin to filter back
into Jerusalem, at least all of its men,
and many of its young ladies as well.
They will then begin to rearm themselves and will have about three years
to do so. So, at the time of the battle
of Armageddon, Israel, with her meager
forces, will face this juggernaut alone.
The reason I feel this is because the
United States is still the center for world
evangelism, and, of course, Satan will
go to any length to stop that. I personally believe that for the time being, the
Lord is going to hold everything in check
so that this great Message of the Cross
will not only cover this great nation but,
also, every other nation in the world. To
be sure, the Lord places great stock in
His Word going to the world and, especially, the Message of the Cross.
While there is no evidence that the
Antichrist will take over America
during the great tribulation, still,
there is no evidence, either, that America will oppose him. In fact, every evidence is that our nation will applaud
him, at least, at the beginning,
because of his being able to broker a
peace treaty between Israel and the
Muslims, something that the brightest minds in America have never been
able to accomplish.
However, the age-old hatred of the
Muslims against Israel will most definitely not change. So, even though he
will not do for the Muslims what possibly he will promise to do, still, his
hatred for Israel will be paramount.
Quite possibly, they will take whatever they can get that, hopefully, will
destroy the ancient people.
It is my personal thought that this
man will, in fact, take over the entirety
of the Middle East with all of its oil,
which will shut out the Muslims. I also
believe that he will do away with the
worshipping spot of Mecca. At a point
in time, realizing what he is doing,
they will then, no doubt, try to salvage
any place for themselves that they can
get. At any rate, during that time, the
religion of Islam, plus all other religions, will be no more, at least, in the
countries where he has control. So,
after he finishes the countries “out of
I speak of the hundreds of thousands,
or even millions, of born-again believers — will no longer be here. While, no
doubt, hundreds of thousands will give
their hearts to Christ immediately after
the rapture, still, America will not be
the place that we now know. The spirit
of the antichrist is already at work in
America and, in fact, in the entirety of
the world; however, I think it is at work
in America greater than anywhere else.
THE VALLEY OF MEGIDDO - SITE OF THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON
WHERE WILL AMERICA BE
DURING THIS TIME?
One must understand that with the
rapture (resurrection) of the church,
that which made America great — and
There will be many nations that will
throw in with the Antichrist, thereby,
giving him their full support, but only
because they have no choice. Every
evidence is that, at the outset, he will
take over the entirety of the Middle
East, with the exception of Jordan and
much of Western Europe.
WHAT ABOUT THE TENNATION CONFEDERATION?
The Word of God has quite a bit to say
about this ten-nation confederation,

10 MARCH 2015 THE EVANGELIST
which goes all the way back to the dream given to
Nebuchadnezzar, the golden head, so to speak, of
the Babylonian Empire. This was done some 2,500
years ago.
Ironically enough, this potentate couldn’t even
remember what the dream was, much less, its interpretation. Of course, the Lord orchestrated all of
this. Daniel would recall the dream and, as well,
give him the interpretation. As we shall see, the
dream and its interpretation portray to us all the
empires that would persecute Israel from the time of
the Babylonians even unto the future, which means
it has not yet come to pass. In fact, all of the empires
have come and gone, with the exception of the tennation confederation, which is right around the
corner, so to speak.
Concerning this ten-nation confederation, the Word
of God says:
“And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron:
forasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and subdues all
things: and as iron that breaks all these, shall it
break in pieces and bruise. (This ‘fourth kingdom’ is the Roman Empire and is represented
by the ‘legs of iron.’ It would be the strongest
of all!)
“And whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of the
potters’ clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be
divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of the
iron, forasmuch as you saw the iron mixed with miry
clay. (All that we have previously studied represents empires that have come and gone; however, the ‘feet’ and ‘toes’ of this statue of iron
and clay represent that which is yet to come.)
“And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and
part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong,
and partly broken. (This verse represents the tennation confederation, with the ‘toes of the feet’
symbolic of this confederation, which will greatly
oppose Israel in the very near future.)
“And whereas you saw iron mixed with miry clay,
they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men:
but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron
is not mixed with clay. (Their confederation will
not succeed because of the ‘miry clay,’ which
expresses that some of the ten-nation confederation are weak. As stated, this will take place in
the near future)” (Dan. 2:40-43).
PARTICIPANTS IN THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON
THE ROMAN EMPIRE AND
THE TEN-NATION KINGDOM
“After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth
beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it
had great iron teeth: it devoured and broke in pieces, and
stamped the residue with the feet of it; and it was diverse
from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
(This beast represents the Roman Empire, which was
the strongest and most powerful of all. It lasted for
nearly 1,000 years. The phrase, “And it had ten horns,”
speaks of that which was a part of this beast, and for
a particular reason. But it had nothing to do with the
conquests of the original Roman Empire. These “ten
horns” portray 10 kingdoms, which will arise in the
latter days, in fact, in the very near future. These 10
nations will persecute Israel)” (Dan. 7:7).
Even though we have already given the following information, for clarification, please allow the repetition, inasmuch as it involves the ten-nation confederation.
THE LITTLE HORN
“I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among
them another little horn, before whom there were three of the
first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn
were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great
things. (At first, Daniel did not understand the horns. Even
though the Roman Empire has come and gone, still, the “ten
horns” have not yet risen to power; however, the breakup of
the former Soviet Union is the beginning of the fulfillment
of this passage. If one is to notice, the ten horns were a
part of the nondescript beast, which has to do with the territory which the old Roman Empire controlled. “There came
up among them another little horn,” means this one came up
after the ten horns were fully grown. The “little horn” is the
Antichrist. Three of the horns will be plucked by the little
horn, meaning that he will defeat these countries in battle,
with the others then submitting to him. This will take place
in the first half of the great tribulation)” (Dan. 7:8).
The three horns, i.e., three nations that will be defeated by
the Antichrist, are Egypt, Turkey, and Greece. We know
these are the countries addressed because of the location
of Alexander the Great’s empire and the way it was broken
up and taken over by his four generals.
KING OF THE SOUTH
against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over” (Dan. 11:40).
The phrase, “Shall the king of the south push at him,” refers
to Egypt attacking the Antichrist. In fact, Egypt will head
up the ten-nation confederation, corresponding with
the “ten horns” of Daniel 7:7, which will greatly oppose
Israel. We know that the “king of the south” refers to
Egypt because this is who is referred to at the beginning
of Chapter 11 of Daniel, which speaks of the breakup of
the Grecian Empire with the death of Alexander the Great.
It seems that Greece and Turkey will join with Egypt in
attempting to stop the “king of the north,” who will be
the Antichrist. We know that these are the two countries referred to (Greece and Turkey) from Daniel 8:9.
As is obvious, they will not at all be successful and will
quickly be defeated by the Man of Sin, with the other six
countries throwing in their lot with him without further
conflict. In other words, they will realize that opposing
him is futile.
With the Antichrist getting control over the three countries
mentioned in the first three and a half years of Daniel’s
seventieth week, and the other six giving their power to
him upon seeing further resistance as useless, this makes
him the conqueror of all the old Roman Empire territory.
Therefore, his base of operations at the midway point of
the great tribulation will be substantial, to say the least!
Regarding the 10 countries fulfilling the “ten horns” of
Daniel 7:7, the Antichrist will already be the ruler over Syria,
and with him defeating three, that leaves only six. These
will give their power to him, giving him control of all 10.
Who the six countries are, we aren’t told, but, for certain,
they will be with him when he turns on Israel.

HISTORY PROVES AMERICA IS NOT A MUSLIM NATION
by frances swaggart
Ecclesiastes 8:11 – “Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily,
therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.”
THOMAS JEFFERSON
OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE PORTRAIT
BY REMBRANDT PEALE
INTRODUCTION
AN EMAIL WORTH READING
AS A YOUNG STUDENT in school, I can remember
studying about the Barbary Wars. Never in my
wildest dreams could I have known that one day I
would be standing and looking out over the Atlantic Ocean as our host pointed out the trade route
that many of the merchant ships would take, always
concerned that pirates could slip aboard at night,
take over the ship and its crew, and hold them for
ransom. At issue was the Barbary pirates’ demand
for tribute from merchant vessels. If ships of a given
country failed to pay, Muslim pirates would attack
the ships and take their goods, and often enslave
their crew members or hold them for ransom.
After mentioning the Barbary Wars on a recent episode of Frances & Friends, I received the following
email from one of our listeners. The fact that the
information in this email has shown up in multiple
articles, blogs, and elsewhere proves that people
are extremely interested in America’s response to
the problem of Islamic terrorism. You will see how
the response, especially from former U.S. presidents, was then compared to what our president
says today. As you read this, I think you will agree
with me that the United States is not, nor has it ever
been, a Muslim nation.
When I heard our president make the statement
that “The United States was one of the largest
Muslim nations in the world,” my mind immediately went back to the Barbary Wars. Two hundred
years ago, the United States declared war on
Islam. Thomas Jefferson was president at the
time, and he refused to pay tribute to the Islamic
pirates. He sent a United States naval fleet to the
Mediterranean; bombarding their various fortified
pirate cities, ultimately extracting concessions of
fair passage from their rulers. This took place
between 1801 and 1805. In 1815, President James
Madison had to undertake the very same actions
again. Those pirate cities are what we know now
today as Libya, Tunisia, and Algeria.
14
MARCH 2015 THE EVANGELIST
The email reads:
”At
” the height of the eighteenth century, Muslim
pirates were the terror of the Mediterranean
and a large area of the North Atlantic. They
attacked every ship in sight, and held the crews
for exorbitant ransoms. Those taken hostage
were subjected to barbaric treatment and wrote
heartbreaking letters home, begging their government and family members to pay whatever
their Mohammedan captors demanded.
These extortionists of the high seas represented
the Islamic nations of Tripoli, Tunis, Morocco, and
Algiers — collectively referred to as the Barbary
Coast—and presented a dangerous and unprovoked threat to the new American Republic.

HISTORY PROVES AMERICA IS NOT A MUSLIM NATION
Before the Revolutionary War, U.S. merchant
ships had been under the protection of Great
Britain. When the U.S. declared its independence
and entered into war, the ships of the United
States were protected by France. However, once
the war was won, America had to protect its own
fleets. Thus, the birth of the U.S. Navy.
Beginning in 1784, 17 years before he would
become president, Thomas Jefferson became
America’s minister to France. That same year,
the U.S. Congress sought to appease its Muslim
adversaries by following in the footsteps of
European nations who paid bribes to the Barbary States, rather than engaging them in war.
In July of 1785, Algerian pirates captured American ships, and the Dey of Algiers demanded an
unheard-of ransom of $60,000. It was a plain
and simple case of extortion, and Thomas Jefferson was vehemently opposed to any further
payments. Instead, he proposed to Congress
the formation of a coalition of allied nations
who together could force the Islamic states into
peace. A disinterested Congress decided to
pay the ransom.
In 1786, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams met
with Tripoli’s ambassador to Great Britain to ask
by what right his nation attacked American ships
and enslaved American citizens, and why Muslims held so much hostility towards America, a
nation with which they had no previous contacts.
The t wo future presidents repor ted that
Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja had
answered that Islam “was founded on the laws of
their Prophet, that it was written in their Quran,
that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was
their right and duty to make war upon them
wherever they could be found, and to make
slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and
that every Musselman (Muslim) who should be
slain in battle was sure to go to paradise.
Despite of this stunning admission of premeditated violence on non-Muslim nations, as well as
the objections of many notable American leaders, including George Washington, who warned
that caving in was both wrong and would only
further embolden the enemy, for the following
15 years, the American government paid the
Muslims millions of dollars for the safe passage
of American ships or the return of American
hostages. The payments in ransom and tribute
amounted to over 20 percent of the United
States government annual revenues in 1800.
Jefferson was disgusted. Shortly after his being
sworn in as the third president of the United
States in 1801, the pasha of Tripoli sent him a
note demanding the immediate payment of
$225,000 plus $25,000 a year for every year
forthcoming. That changed everything.
Jefferson let the pasha know, in no uncertain
terms, what he could do with his demand. The
pasha responded by cutting down the flagpole
at the American consulate and declared war on
the United States. Tunis, Morocco, and Algiers
immediately followed suit. Jefferson, until
now, had been against America raising a naval
force for anything beyond coastal defense, but
having watched his nation be cowed by Islamic
thuggery for long enough, decided that is was
finally time to meet force with force.
He dispatched a squadron of frigates to the
Mediterranean and taught the Muslim nations of
the Barbary Coast a lesson he hoped they would
never forget. Congress authorized Jefferson
to empower U.S. ships to seize all vessels and
goods of the pasha of Tripoli and to “cause to
be done all other acts of precaution or hostility
as the state of war would justify.”

When Algiers and Tunis, who were both accustomed to American cowardice and acquiescence, saw the newly independent United
States had both the will and the might to strike
back, they quickly abandoned their allegiance
to Tripoli. The war with Tripoli lasted for four
more years, and raged up again in 1815. The
bravery of the U.S. Marine Corps in these wars
led to the line “to the shores of Tripoli” in the
Marines’ Hymn. They would forever be known
as “leathernecks” for the leather collars of their
uniforms, designed to prevent their heads from
being cut off by the Muslim scimitars when
boarding enemy ships.

www.francesandfriends.com/fs/historyproves.html.
THEN VERSUS NOW
History clearly shows how U.S. presidents
Jefferson and Madison reacted to terrorism more than 200 years ago. Yet how do
their responses then compare to statements today made by President Obama
regarding the acceleration of Islamic
terrorism happening in the world today?

god, disturbed Jef ferson quite
deeply. America had a tradition
of religious tolerance, the fact that
Jefferson, himself, had co-authored
the Virginia Statute for Religious
Freedom, but fundamentalist Islam
was like no other religion the world
had ever seen. A religion based
on supremacism, whose holy book
not only condoned but mandated
violence against unbelievers was
unacceptable to him. His greatest
fear was that someday this brand of
Islam would return and pose an even
greater threat to the United States.
This should bother every American.
That the Islams have brought about
women-only classes and swimming
times at taxpayer-funded universities and public pools; that Christians,

MARCH 2015 THE EVANGELIST
Jews, and Hindus have been banned
from serving on juries where Muslim
defendants are being judged, Piggy
banks and Porky Pig tissue dispensers have been banned from workplaces because they offend Islamist
sensibilities. Ice cream has been
discontinued at certain Burger King
locations because the picture on the
wrapper looks similar to the Arabic
script for Allah, public schools are
pulling pork from their menus, on and
on in the newspapers.
It’s death by a thousand cuts, or
inch-by-inch as some refer to it, and
most Americans have no idea that
this battle is being waged every day
across America. By not fighting back,
by allowing groups to obfuscate what
is really happening, and not insisting
that the Islamists adapt to our own
culture, the United States is cutting
its own throat with a politically correct knife, and helping to further the
Islamists agenda. Sadly, it appears
that today’s America would rather
be politically correct than victorious.”
The information in this email has been
researched and found to be true. Still, I
I hope Americans are listening to what
I’m about to state: America is waking
up to a totally different and dangerous
world than what this generation has
ever seen. I feel like America is in a very
precarious situation because we have
unleashed a religion that is not going to
stop until it conquers every continent,
every nation, every country, and every
little city and village in the world.
Recently, the news media also seems to
be waking up to the realities of Islam as
journalists report on terrorist activities and
attacks which are more violent and happening more frequently in various parts
of the world. As I write this article, we’ve
seen five terrorist attacks in just as many
months — all linked to Islamic terrorism:
Sept. 25, 2014: Islam convert, Alton
Nolen, beheads one coworker and
stabs a second at a food processing
plant in Moore, Oklahoma.
Oct. 22, 2014: Islam convert, Michael
Zehaf-Bibeau, fatally shoots a security
officer and then opens fire inside Parliament Hill in Ottowa, Canada.
Oct. 23, 2014: Islam convert, Zale H.
Thompson, attacks a group of New
York City police officers with a hatchet
in broad daylight.
Dec. 15, 2014: Islamist Man Haron
Monis, takes 17 people hostage at a
café in Sydney Australia. Two of the
hostages died.
Visit my website at www.francesandfriends.com | Find us on Facebook
Jan. 7, 2015: Islamist gunmen kill 12 people in the
offices of the satirical newspaper, Charlie Hebdo
in Paris, France.
The January attack in Paris renewed media attention
and interest to the fact that France has the largest
number of Muslims in Western Europe — roughly
10 percent of its population.
still fleeing because of the intolerance of Islamic
extremism. So, my past is America’s future unless
America wakes up now and takes the necessary
steps to protect itself.”
Gabriel said those necessary steps include identifying the enemy by name in order to devise the
strategy to defeat it.
Such demographics may explain French President
Francois Hollande’s refusal to link terrorists in
the Jan. 7 attack on his country to Islam, instead
calling them “fanatics who have nothing to do
with Islam.”
She said, “Right now we have the president in the
White House who doesn’t have the moral clarity
and the courage to stand up and say what we are
fighting, and we need to do that in order for us to
defeat this enemy. It is Islamic terrorism.”
He said this despite witness accounts of the
gunmen shouting, “Allahu akbar!” (Allah is great)
and “We avenged the Prophet Muhammad!”
During a Jan. 19 speech to the Henry Jackson
Society in London, Louisiana Governor Bobby
Jindal declared, “Islam has a problem.”
President Obama’s response to the attack on Paris
was also stripped of any connection between
Islam and the terrorists, referring to the gunmen
instead as “perpetrators” and “those who carry
out senseless attacks” who will be ultimately forgotten. He described their actions as the “senseless violence of the few.”
In his prepared remarks, Jindal went on to say: “If
Islam does not support what is happening in the
name of Islam, then they need to stand up and
stop it. Many Islamic leaders argue that these are
the acts of a radical few. Ok, it is their problem,
and they need to deal with it. Muslim leaders
must make clear that anyone who commits acts of
terror in the name of Islam is in fact not practicing
Islam at all. If they refuse to say this, then they are
condoning these acts of barbarism. There is no
middle ground. Specifically, Muslim leaders need
to condemn anyone who commits these acts of
violence and clearly state that these people are
evil and are enemies of Islam. It’s not enough to
simply condemn violence, they must stand up and
loudly proclaim that these people are not martyrs
who will receive a reward in the afterlife, and rather
they are murderers who are going to hell.”
In a January panel hosted by Fox News, Robert
Spencer, director of Jihad Watch, offered his opinion
on why the White House avoids mentioning Islam.
“It seems as if the president thinks and the Administration thinks that if they say something is Islamic
then they will be at war with the entire Islamic
world and right-wing racist vigilantes will go and
victimize innocent people in the United States,”
Spencer said. “Both are hogwash and nonsense
and, what’s happened is that we have effectively
gotten ourselves into a position where it’s forbidden to speak about the motives and goals of the
enemy and you cannot possibly defeat an enemy
that you refuse to understand.”
In the same panel discussion, Brigitte Gabriel,
founder and president of Act For America, said
the Islamic Middle East does not tolerate any other
faith or group of people.
“We minorities in the Middle East have been massacred, killed, my house was bombed; this is how
I ended up in this country, as a refugee from the
Middle East. It was happening when my parents
were refugees when I was a child, newborn, and
here I am in America today and my people are

SET A WATCH, O LORD, BEFORE MY MOUTH by donnie swaggart
Psalms 141:3 – “Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.”
I think it can
be said that an
unruly tongue
has destroyed
marriages and
relationships,
has split up
churches, and
even has caused
young believers
in the Lord to get
discouraged and
lose their way
with the Lord.
18 MARCH 2015 THE EVANGELIST
THERE IS AN OLD children's nursery rhyme that
says, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but
words will never hurt me.” It sounds quite good;
however, as we all can attest, words do hurt, words
do bring harm, and words cause great problems.
through his own efforts and labor when the fact
is that the only way it can be done is by our yielding our tongues to the control of the Holy Spirit.
The tongue of man can either bring forth life or
death. James, Chapter 3, beginning with Verse
5, says, “Even so the tongue is a little member,
and boasts great things. Behold, how great a
matter a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a
fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among
our members, that it defiles the whole body, and
sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on
fire of hell. For every kind of beasts, and of birds,
and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed,
and has been tamed of mankind. But the tongue
can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly
poison” (James 3:5-8).
1. Slander: The dictionary defines slander as “the
utterance of false charges or misrepresentations
which defame and damage another’s reputation.”
Then, in Verse 10, James says, “Out of the same
mouth proceeds blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.”
I think it can be said that an unruly tongue has
destroyed marriages and relationships, has split
up churches, and even has caused young believers
in the Lord to get discouraged and lose their way
with the Lord. Not long ago, I heard someone say
that the hardest thing for a Christian to do is to
“tame his tongue.” When I heard that, two things
came to mind. First, I agree. Secondly, the reason
man can’t tame the tongue is that he tries to do it
THREE SINS OF THE TONGUE
In Romans 1:29, Paul used the word whisperers,
and in II Corinthians 12:20, whisperings. Both the
singular and the plural mean “slander, gossip,
backbiter, an accuser, secret detractors who pretend secrecy and carry out accusations against
men, whether true or false, blasting their reputation by clandestine gossip.”
Actually, when one slanders another or when one
passes gossip about someone, he is, in reality,
murdering that person’s reputation. Do not pass
over this statement lightly. To slander another
person is to murder his reputation and degrade
his character in the eyes of those who are told
such things.
There is no such thing as idle gossip or slander.
How many people believe horrible things about
someone simply because someone said something about him? As James said, we can either
bless or curse, and if you can’t bless someone’s
reputation, then please don’t curse his reputation.
As the old adage goes, “If you can’t say something
good, then don’t say anything at all.”
Visit my website at www.donnieswaggart.org
SET A WATCH, O LORD, BEFORE MY MOUTH
In saying this, please don’t get the idea that one can’t point
out wrong doctrine. That’s totally wrong. If one’s doctrine
is wrong, then we must, for the sake of the sheep, speak up.
However, we leave it at that. We deal with the error and not
the heart or motivation.
2. Judging: In Matthew, Chapter 7, Jesus taught on judging.
Without a doubt, it is one of the most misunderstood passages in the Bible. In Verse 1, where the Lord says, “Judge
not, that you be not judged,” this actually refers back to Verses
25 through 34 of Chapter 6. There were those in the early
church who were mired in poverty, which caused others in
the church to judge them as having committed sin, and the
poverty was a judgment of God. This is exactly what Job’s
friends did. The Lord was simply telling us not to judge one’s
heart according to circumstances. Yet, in Chapter 7, Verse
20, the Lord plainly states, “Wherefore by their fruits you shall
know them.” Our fruits should be judged. We don’t judge
one’s heart, but we do judge the fruit of one who calls himself
a believer. John 7:24 references this: “Judge not according
to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
Only the Lord knows the heart of the individual, so let’s not
try to play God.
3. Doubt: Doubt is speaking words of doubt regarding God
and His divine provision. When one speaks words of doubt,
it, in effect, calls God a liar and places doubt about His ability
to perform what He has promised. Think about what you just
read. To speak doubt is to call God a liar. From our lips, we
will either speak faith or doubt. To speak faith is to speak life;
to speak doubt is to speak death.
WHAT WE ARE TO DO
We are to follow the words of David in this great psalm: “Set
a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.”
What David is saying is that we are to yield our tongue and our
words to the Lord. We are to allow Him to stand, if you will,
as the guardian of our lips. We are to daily yield our tongues
to the Lord that we might become an instrument of praise
and encouragement and not an instrument of doubt, slander,
judgment, and death.

For those of you who are not familiar with digital television, these are free “old fashioned TV channels” that are able to be picked up with a digital tuner
and antenna. Most new televisions are equipped with built-in digital tuners or you can purchase a tuner from your local electronics store (Best Buy®,
Radio Shack®, etc.). As well, you can purchase the proper antenna at your local electronics store. Many viewers under the broadcast signal of the
television station can use a small, digital antenna inside the home. For those on the outer edge of the signal or to receive the best signal, an outdoor
antenna may be required. Both indoor and outdoor antennas are available for less than $50!

BAPTIZED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT AS A BOY;
REFILLED AS A YOUNG MAN
BACKSLIDER RETURNS TO THE LORD;
CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF SBN
DEAR EVANGELIST: I don't know where to start, but I
just want to thank God for your ministry because just a few
moments ago I was baptized in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues! I once spoke in tongues when
I was still a small boy, but after that I never did again. But as
I was watching one of your crusade classics, I received! After
many years of being a dry river, I thank Jesus because I’m
filled. I’m 21 and I’m filled with the Holy Spirit! Thank you for
preaching the Message of the Cross, and may the living God
multiply his blessings to you!
DEAR EVANGELIST: I thank the Lord every day
for you and the ministry. For several years, I slid
back into the world, but thank God for the prayers of
others and our heavenly Father knocking me down a peg
or two, or even three! I came back to the Lord. I know He
loved me that much, and after many, many weeks of tears, I
was flipping through the channels and found SBN. I watch it
from the time I get up until I go to bed. I can’t get enough! I
have learned so much from your ministry. Thank you and God
bless you. All praise His holy name.

BELIEVER SWITCHES TO SBN FOR SPIRITUAL
FOOD AND CHURCH EXPERIENCE
EXPOSITOR’S STUDY BIBLE BLESSES INDIAN
PASTOR AND THE PEOPLE HE SERVES
DEAR EVANGELIST: First, I wanted to say God bless you and
your ministry. I’ve been slacking on going to church because
each time I do, they feed me baby food, and by that I mean
that they teach what I already know. So, for a long time, I’ve
not been growing at all. I just started to watch your ministry
for my church. I feel better knowing I’m getting fed just by
watching you all!
DEAR EVANGELIST: Recently, I mailed an Expositor’s Study
Bible to India to a pastor who also runs an orphanage. Here is
his response to the Bible: “Honorable sister, greetings. The
study Bible you sent to me is a great blessing to me. It’s a great
help to develop the sermons. Today I preached from Ezekiel
47:1-12. I refer to many commentaries and study Bibles, but
I did not get the proper thoughts from anywhere but I get
the correct answers from Rev. Jimmy Swaggart’s study Bible.
Thank you once again, this Bible is not only blessing to me, this
is blessing people I am serving! We love so much!”

PREACHING AND SINGING ABOUT THE
BLOOD RAISES DEAD PEOPLE TO LIFE
– Louisiana
DEAR EVANGELIST: Hello Reverend Swaggart! I just want
to tell you that your preaching and your music have raised
many dead people to life, and I’m one of them. Thank you for
preaching and singing about the blood. Words aren’t enough
to really tell the impact of the Message of the Cross on our
generation, but I believe in heaven we will fully know. Thank
you for your faithfulness! Please keep me and my family in
your prayers. God bless you and your family!

28 MARCH 2015 THE EVANGELIST
COUPLE RETURNS TO THE LORD AFTER
WATCHING AND LISTENING TO SBN
DEAR EVANGELIST: I absolutely love SBN. My husband
and I recently have turned our lives back over to Jesus Christ.
Ninety-five percent of the days, our TV is tuned into your station, and our radios are tuned into your stations as well. We
have made so many changes in our lives, and it feels wonderful. We have also returned to church. My husband was so
““
lost for so long. The alcohol had taken over his life, with so
many relapses for unknown reasons. I am so proud of my
husband for making these changes in his life. We have lost
some friends, but we will continue to worship because we
live for the Lord. I pray for all the pain in the world today,
and I pray for all our friends, current and lost. I pray for all
the friends that walked away. When I feel frustration entering, I just say a simple prayer and turn it over to God. And
it is truly amazing in the feeling that I get with the burden
lifted. We have a lot to learn and we will continue to learn.
I just want to thank your stations for showing us what we
desperately needed in our lives.
The means by which we are justified
and sanctified is by grace through
faith alone in Jesus Christ and what
He accomplished
at the Cross.

VIEWER: OH GOD, HOW I
NEEDED TONIGHT’S MESSAGE
DEAR EVANGELIST: Praise God, praise God, praise God!
Tonight’s message was amazing! To make a long story
short, after this morning’s church service, I had decided
I was finished with God. Where was He in my life when I
needed Him right now? I kind of yelled at God this morning, and I am so glad He didn’t get mad at me! I decided
tonight’s service was something I was not going to watch,
but I watched anyhow and glory be to God, it was a message that could have been given if someone had been in
my house and knew me! I needed to hear that so much! I
don’t even remember that man’s name, but he was anointed
and, if nothing else, it was for me! I am still here after years
of the Devil telling me that I would never make it! God has
been here all along! My life is in such turmoil right now with
a lot going on, and I even thought today that from here on
out I would just turn to pills to sleep through the rest of
my life. I have been so distraught. Oh God, how I needed
tonight’s message. Thank you all so much for those live
services, I don't know what I would do without them. Thank
God He is still here with me.

THE PRAYER OF JABEZ part ii by gabriel swaggart
I Chronicles 4:9-10 – “And Jabez was more honorable than his brethren: and his
mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bore him with sorrow. And Jabez
called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge
my coast, and that Your hand might be with me, and that You would keep me from
evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.”
Maybe, just
maybe, his family
had been the
proud owners of
something that
was stolen from
them that as a
result, left them
destitute and
hard-pressed to
be able to afford
anything.

ENLARGE MY BORDERS
GOD SAID HE CAN TURN IT AROUND
AS THE FIRST REQUEST of Jabez had to do
with blessing, the second request was that
the Lord would enlarge his coast or expand
his borders. What did Jabez actually mean
by this request? Looking back at the previous month’s article, we know that the birth of
Jabez was cloaked with negativity. Maybe, as
we have mentioned in the previous article, his
mother was not able to care for him or did not
want him. We can only speculate as to what
the circumstances were that led up to his birth,
but maybe, just maybe, his family had been
the proud owners of something that was stolen
from them that as a result, left them destitute
and hard-pressed to be able to afford anything.
Maybe, due to this detrimental and unfavorable situation, he found himself in a place and
position that was lacking, with no room for
growth. Whatever the circumstances were that
surrounded Jabez at this moment in time, he
requested of the Lord — the only One that could
hear and honor his request — that He enlarge his
borders and get him out of this present situation
in which he found himself.
I believe that we could learn a lesson from Jabez
with his request for the Lord to enlarge his borders, and I believe that it can be applied to us
today in two ways. First, many believers, and
many people in general, never break out of that
which imprisons them. They have been held captive and confined to their negative circumstances,
and they feel that they will never be able to be
freed from that situation. It haunts them; it follows
them everywhere like a dark cloud hovering over
them on a daily basis. However, there is One who
can take us out of that present, negative experience and turn our situation around for the good.
Only God could take Joseph from a prison to the
palace. Only God can turn beauty from ashes and
joy from our pain. Only Jehovah can take that
which Satan meant for evil and turn it around for
good. He’s only waiting for us to ask Him.
DON’T SETTLE FOR LESS WHEN GOD
WANTS TO GIVE YOU SO MUCH MORE
Secondly, I believe this refers to asking and
believing Him for the impossible. Too many

THE PRAYER OF JABEZ
PART II
Christians settle with second best when God
wants to give us the best. They settle for little
when the Lord has so much more in store for us
to experience. All He wants us to do is ask Him
and believe Him to enlarge our borders. To use
an example from our church, Family Worship
Center, there is a trap door on the platform, but
it is not seen by most people. If one stands in
the middle of that trap door and stays there, he
has limited himself to that small space. Most
Christians have limited themselves and, in reality,
limited God to a small space by not believing that
God will do for them what He has done for others.
However, if one will look at the main auditorium
of Family Worship Center and see that amount
of space and the size of that building, it is massive. In other words, He wants to give us so much
more than what we can even ask or think. All we
must do is simply believe Him and ask Him for
the impossible.
Nearly every morning as I go to the Lord in
prayer, I seek Him for that which is impossible.
I ask Him to give us the entirety of this planet.
To most people, that seems as if it is an impossible task, and with man, it is an impossible task.
However, I have news for you. The Scripture
tells us that with God, all things are possible
(Matt. 19:26). Now, it’s up to you to believe
that, for you can settle for less, or you can ask
the Lord to enlarge your borders. Keep asking
Him for the impossible! Keep seeking Him for
the impossible! Keep knocking on that door,
for the Bible tells us that those who ask will
receive, those who seek will find, and for those
who keep knocking (and never quit), that door
will be opened unto you.
THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS IS THE
ONLY TRUE WORD OF FAITH THERE IS
Now, I can imagine that some of you reading this
column are saying to yourselves, “Pastor Gabe
is preaching Word of Faith.” You’re right! However, let me clarify that statement. The Message
of the Cross is the only true word of faith there
is. I will never claim that you can “name it and
claim it” or “blab it and grab it,” but I am saying
Everything that
God wants to give
us comes through
our faith in Christ
and what He did
at Calvary and
our faith in that
finished work.
It cannot come
through any other
manner or means.
that what Jesus did at the Cross affords us so
much that we really do not have the wherewithal
to comprehend such blessing. Everything that
God wants to give us comes through our faith in
Christ and what He did at Calvary and our faith in
that finished work. It cannot come through any
other manner or means. The Cross paid for us
to experience all that God has for us. When we
plug in to the Message of the Cross, that is what
energizes the Holy Spirit to begin working in our
lives in the way that He sees fit. The Cross, ladies
and gentlemen, is the answer for all of life’s problems, and it is the only answer to life’s problems.
This is God’s prescribed order of victory, Jesus
Christ and Him crucified.

ONLINE CLASSES ARE HERE! by loren larson
WHAT A PRIVILEGE IT is to make the announcement that online classes are now
available from WEBC&S. Over the past several years, we have labored incessantly
to make this possible for you. We believe that we have designed a series of classes
that will do far more than just educate students about the Bible. At the core of all of
our courses is the Message of the Cross. This is the process of sanctification that is
essential for every Christian. We believe that our professors will guide you into Bible
knowledge and provide personal insight that will result in victory and growth as you
learn to trust in the finished work of Christ.
We believe that

MARCH 2015 THE EVANGELIST
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
CREDIT OR AUDIT
The first step to becoming an online student at WEBC&S requires the prospective
student to travel through the process of
online orientation. This is done by going
online to our website at www.webc.edu
and following the link to online classes
and online orientation. Here you will find
all the information needed, ranging from
equipment required to prices and classes,
and everything in between. Once again,
the details are far too many to spell out in
this article, so you must visit the website
and read the associated material to fully
understand what it takes to participate in
these classes. Once a prospective student
has read and/or viewed all of the appropriate material and has agreed to abide by the
guidelines and policies presented, he or she
will be free to choose from a list of available
classes at our WEBC store and begin his
online classroom experience.
Each class that we have developed will be
offered as both an audit class and a credit
class. The difference between the two lies
primarily between costs and responsibilities.
Both audit and credit students will have 16
weeks to complete the course. The credit
student will be responsible for all assignments, quizzes, and exams, along with the
viewing of all class lectures. Additionally,
the credit student will receive materials and
handouts to help him or her better grasp the
subject at hand.
On the other hand, the audit student will
not be required to do any classwork. He or
she will not take any quizzes or exams and
will not receive any materials or handouts.
Audit students will have 16 weeks to view
the course and gain the information offered
from the class and its atmosphere. An audit
student will not gain any credit toward our
ONLINE CLASSES ARE HERE!
degree programs, while a credit student may
move toward the fulfillment of a degree plan if
he so desires.
THE CLASSES
Each class that we offer is a class that we have
recorded live at WEBC&S. We are continuing to
record and build new classes all the time so that
in the future, many more classes will be offered.
The student will be able to view every lecture
of any one class just as if he or she were an inhouse student here in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Again, the time frame allowed for each course
is 16 weeks, a standard semester for almost any
school. All credit classes will begin on the first
business day of every month. In other words, the
students will have the choice of which month to
begin their classes, choosing a time frame that
best suits his or her schedule. The students will
need to register at least two weeks prior to the
start date of any credit class. The audit classes
will have two starting dates in every month and
will run 16 weeks as well.
THE COSTS
While discussing and establishing these classes,
it was the goal of Jimmy Swaggart Ministries to
keep costs down so that all who desired could
BROTHER LARSON TEACHING AN ONLINE CLASS
participate. Therefore, we established a simple
one price fee for each type of class. The credit
courses will cost $325 per course. This is not
per credit hour, mind you; this is the total cost of
each individual credit course. For credit students,
there will be additional costs for textbooks, but
no other fees or charges will exist. For audit
students, the cost will be $125 per course. Textbooks are optional; they are encouraged but
not required.
We established a
simple one price
fee for each type
of class.
www.webc.edu
Again, let me say that there is far too much information that is needed for me to put it in this article. To
get the full picture, please go to www.webc.edu.
We look forward to serving you and teaching you
in the near future.
Why WEBC&S?
““My experience here at WEBC has been one epic journey. It’s so great to be in
a place where the Word of God is taught, in an environment where the Holy
Spirit is allowed free reign, and where my relationship with Christ is able to
grow. What I love about the classes is that they are so in-depth, and the Holy
Spirit will reveal things that I have never seen before. I leave class mesmerized
at how God has always, from the beginning of time, had a plan to redeem
man. I’m so glad to be studying here at WEBC, and I’m looking forward to
what God has planned for my life.”

CHANGE part ii by john rosenstern
THE SYSTEMATIC PURGING OF Christianity from our educational facilities has left us with a void of
moral understanding and a confused secular perspective on American history. To fill the void, secularists have replaced our Christian heritage with humanism. Our forefathers knew the value of retaining
Christianity as the cornerstone of our educational instruction. It supplied historical stories of courage
and personal excellence, coupled with personal accountability and righteous living.
Today, more
than ever, the
revisionists have
successfully
distorted our
heritage, while
leaving our
youth without a
moral compass.
The principles of Christianity shaped and
formed our nation. Our forefathers fought and
died for freedom from the tyranny of England.
Today, more than ever, the revisionists have successfully distorted our heritage, while leaving
our youth without a moral compass. According to its founder, Joseph Fletcher, situational
ethics, which clearly contradict God’s laws, state
that decision-making should be based upon
the circumstances of a particular situation and
not upon fixed law. Interesting to note is that
Fletcher was an Episcopal priest, a member of
the Euthanasia Educational Counsel, and an
advocate of the Planned Parenthood Federation. He supported euthanasia and abortion.
The irony of Fletcher’s teaching is that he based
it on Scripture. He used I John 4:8 to build his
model — “God is love.” Fletcher believed that
any commandment can be broken in good conscience if love is one’s intention. The contradiction is obvious. In I John 5:2-3, it says what our
love to God is: “By this we know that we love
the children of God, when we love God, and
keep His commandments. For this is the love
of God, that we keep His commandments: and
His commandments are not grievous.”
The next two verses, I John 5:4-5, tell us how to
keep his commandments: “For whatsoever is
born of God overcomes the world: and this is
the victory that overcomes the world, even our
faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but
he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?"
34 MARCH 2015 THE EVANGELIST
FORGETTING THE PAST
Imbued with a perverted secularization of our
nation’s history, our young people are given
sports icons as models, rock stars to emulate,
and Hollywood actors to imitate. Thanks to
the help of successful secularists, our nation’s
founding history and separation from England
is taught to predominantly be for “economic”
reasons. Charles and Mary Beard in the early
20th century began to write history books that
have been embraced throughout the educational
community. The idea that “taxation without
representation” was the economic grievance
in the Declaration of Independence, and it
became the sole clause that Americans studied.
Because of secularists and communists, God is
no longer visible in American history. To take it
a step further, these secularists now assert that
America intentionally founded the first secular
government in history, although the Declaration
of Independence acknowledges God in four
separate clauses. Fifty years past the signing of
the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson described the Declaration as “an expression
of the American mind … all its authority rests
… on the harmonizing sentiments of the day.”
The Declaration weaves together philosophy,
theology, and political history, both the American
mind and the American experience. A secular
document, the Declaration needs religion for its
authority. God is mentioned four times in three
capacities: Legislator (laws and natures of God),
CHANGE
PART II
Creator (or executive), Supreme Judge of the world, and as
a Guardian (divine providence). Daniel Webster said, “History is God’s providence in human affairs.” When a proper
understanding of history is presented, it demonstrates the
need for Christianity because of both societal and the individual benefits it produces. It displays the hand of God in
human affairs. Thomas Jefferson understood that a correct
teaching of history would help guide the future of our nation.
He wrote, “History, by apprizing them [students] of the past,
will enable them to judge of the future.”
Romans 15:4: “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning.”
Hebrews 10:32: “But call to remembrance the former days.”
I Corinthians 10:6: “Now these things were our examples.”
We learn from history, and what we learn affects our behavior.
“Go
“ ye into all the world, and preach
the Gospel to every creature.”
- Mark 16:15
RELIGIOUS FACTORS
The secularists would have us believe “taxation without representation” was the number one reason America sought
independence from Great Britain. Actually, it was not in the
first half of the list of the 27 reasons given in our Declaration
of Independence. Furthermore, King George III prevented
Americans from printing an English language Bible. He also
vetoed the charter for America’s first missionary society.
Americans responded and took action. Samuel Adams and
Charles Carroll cited religious freedom as the reason they
became involved in the American Revolution. In fact, 24
out of 56 signers were holders of seminary or Bible school
degrees. For many of our founders, religious issues were a
significant motivation to separate from Great Britain. Notwithstanding, there were many pastors who participated in
the revolution and held prestigious positions. For example,
one of George Washington’s most trusted generals was
Rev. John Peter Muhlenberg, who led 300 men from his
church against the British. He is also famous for a sermon
he preached to his congregation from Ecclesiastes, Chapter
3. He reminded his parishioners that there was a time to
preach and a time to fight. He said that, for him, the time
to preach was past, and it was time to fight. He then threw
off his vestments and stood before his congregants in the
uniform of a Virginia colonel.
Satan knows that he can’t change history. However, if
he can place the emphasis on less important aspects of
history and omit what is really important, the facts of our
past will not properly represent the whole truth. America’s
educational community is teaching secularism with its god,
humanism. The next step in the process is to use socialism
to advance us toward communism.
We will explore this more closely next month.
World Evangelism Fellowship was born out of a
deep desire of Christians from all denominational
backgrounds to reach the world with the Gospel of
Jesus Christ. It was realized that when churches and
ministries band together under the anointing of the
Holy Spirit to attack the strongholds of Satan, much
can be accomplished.
This is the reason World Evangelism Fellowship was
formed – to channel the efforts of churches and
preachers from all over the United States, Canada,
and the world into a unified, proven plan to reach the
lost and dying with the Good News of the Gospel.
The call of God to win the lost is clear. World Evangelism Fellowship is answering that call and we would like
to extend an invitation to you to join us. This is not a
denomination, and we pray it never will be. It is, however, a fellowship of Ministers and Churches united in
their efforts to reach the world for Jesus Christ.
How do I, as an individual, affiliate with World
Evangelism Fellowship?
There are several ways to join World Evangelism
Fellowship, and the method you choose depends
on what God has called you to do.
• Christian Worker • Licensed Minister
•Ordained Minister •Church Affiliation

LEAVING THE CROSS BEHIND part ii by mike muzzerall
THE EXODUS CONTINUES. DECEIVED into thinking we no longer need Calvary as the focus
of our faith, some pastors openly mock the messengers and the Message of the Cross alike.
In so doing, they teach the modern church to leave the Cross behind.
IT’S NOT A NEW BATTLE
The attack on the Message of the Cross is not just a modernday battle. Paul, the instrument God used to bring forth the
precious Message of the Cross, addressed enemies of the
Cross. “For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and
now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the
Cross of Christ” (Philippians 3:18).
DO YOU SEE THE MESSAGE OF
THE CROSS AS FOOLISHNESS?
“For the preaching of the Cross is to them who perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved it is the power of God” (I Cor.
1:18). Logos translated “preaching” in this verse could actually
be translated as “the doctrine of the Cross,” “the teaching of
the Cross,” or “the Message of the Cross.” Just as the attack
on the Cross is not a modern-day battle, the Message of the
Cross is not a modern-day doctrine. Paul taught the Message
of the Cross.
THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS IS THE POWER OF GOD
How then should the child of God view the Message of the Cross,
“… but unto us who are saved it is the power of God” (I Cor.
1:18)? You are either part of those in the very act of perishing, or
you are part of those who are saved. There’s no third group. It’s
sad that many professing Christ as their Saviour share the same
attitude in regards to the Message of the Cross as those who are
in the present act of perishing. Makes one wonder, doesn’t it?
WHY THE EXODUS FROM THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS?
There’s a stigma attached to the Message of the Cross. The
image of Calvary is disturbing. If we would view a true rep-
36 MARCH 2015 THE EVANGELIST
resentation of how Jesus actually looked while on the cross,
we would be somewhat traumatized. However, when we
understand the pivotal role the Cross has in our salvation,
sanctification, redemption, justification, and future glorification, we embrace the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus
Christ — the Message of the Cross.
I CAN BUILD MY CHURCH FASTER WITHOUT IT!
Some see the Message of the Cross as a hindrance to
church growth. I know of pastors who experienced a
mass exodus when they first introduced the Message of
the Cross. Some feel a more seeker sensitive approach
to church growth yields more favorable results. You
may build your church by avoiding the Cross, but then it
ceases to be His church you are building. Jesus said, “I
will build My church.” He does so on the foundational
teaching of the Cross.
SAVED BY GOD — SANCTIFIED BY SELF
Many have no problem with saying that we are saved by
God’s grace. Yet, they struggle to understand that we are
also sanctified and continue to be sanctified through what
Jesus Christ did at Calvary. It can’t be saved by God and
sanctified by self. It can’t be saved by grace and sanctified
by works. What brought us into the kingdom of God is what
keeps us in the kingdom of God.
WITHOUT THE CROSS, THERE IS NO CHRISTIANITY
Without the Cross, there is no Christianity. It is the basis
of man’s acceptance by God, the means of our victory, our
source of healing, and the very foundation of our Christian
walk. It is the power of God.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BROTHER SWAGGART!
ON MARCH 15, THIS evangelist will be 80 years young.
I’ve never felt better in my life, and I give the Lord all the
praise and glory for that. I have asked the Lord to give
both Frances and me enough years to finish this course.
What is the task of which I speak?
I am speaking of world evangelism. When I was a child,
the Lord called me for this task. Of course, being 8, 9, 10
years old, etc., I didn’t understand that much about it, but
I did know that we would be preaching all over the world,
and now we are.
How I thank the Lord for what He is now doing, but I
believe it is only a down payment, so to speak, of what
the Lord is going to do in the very near future. I speak of
hundreds of thousands, if not millions, coming to the Lord
Jesus Christ. I believe the push that is coming is going to
be the last great push before the coming great tribulation,
and I know that this ministry (Jimmy Swaggart Ministries)
is going to play a great part in this move.
However, I actively solicit your prayers. This means so very,
very much to me. In fact, I cannot do without your intercession before the Lord on behalf of this ministry. Thank
you so much for that.
ONE THING MORE I’M ASKING
Of course, I ask for absolutely nothing for myself, and
if anyone sends money stating they want me to have it,
please understand that that money will immediately
be given for television. I will not receive anything for
myself personally.
However, to celebrate my 80th birthday, I am asking for
an offering, which will go for television. As the Lord helps
you to do so, I’m asking you to give $8,000, or maybe
$800, or $580, or $180, or $80, or $20.80. We need it for
38
MARCH 2015 THE EVANGELIST
television, and I would appreciate your help so very, very
much in this capacity. I’m sure I look every day of 80
years old, and perhaps even older, but I definitely don’t
feel like I’m that old. I give the Lord the praise for that.
NOW AIRING IN
4 NEW CITIES ACROSS THE USA
AND 1 NEW NATION GLOBALLY.
TELEVISION
We just went on in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in nearly 1 million homes, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. By the time
you hold this magazine in your hands, we should also be
airing in Nashville, Tennessee, in nearly a million homes
as well. We are also going on in Seattle, Washington, with
1.25 million homes. How we thank the Lord for opening
these doors.
As well, we are airing four hours a day, Monday through
Friday, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which we hope to
shortly increase to 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To
my knowledge, this is the only area where we only air just
a few hours, but we are glad to be able to do that. It starts
at 8 a.m. and goes to noon (EST). You can adjust it for the
different time zones, of course.
Also, by the time you read this, we should be going into
Iran with the programming (at least a part of the programming) translated into Persian, which is the language
of the Iranians. Pray that God will use it, which I know
that He will.
FAMILY WORSHIP CENTER
MEDIA CHURCH
How so much we thank the Lord for all of our FWC
Media Church members. You are very, very special
to us. I remind myself that every time we have service, you are with us, and how so glad we are to
have you.
As well, I am so very, very grateful for the prayerful
support and the financial support that you give us,
whether you are an FWC Media Church member or
not. To bring the signal into your home, your heart,
and your life is not a simple process, as I’m certain
most of you know. But yet, how privileged we are that
the Lord has opened this door to your home. That’s
the reason we’re doing everything within our power
to go into every home in the world where the Lord will
open the door. There is nothing in the world more
special or more important than the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. Everything else takes a distant second, third,
etc. However, we cannot do it without you. The one
who is to be sent cannot go unless there is a sender.
Paul said: “And how shall they preach, except they be
sent?” (Rom. 10:15).
INCIDENTALLY …
Resurrection Campmeeting is coming up (April 1-5,
2015). It’s going to be a blockbuster, and I pray that if
it’s at all possible, you will make plans to be with us.
In this last camp, the Spirit of God was very prevalent in service after service, for which we give the Lord
all the praise and glory. I believe that Resurrection
Campmeeting is going to be bigger and better than
ever. So, if possible, make your plans to be with us.
Again, Happy Birthday, Jimmy.
I feel ridiculous saying “Happy Birthday” to myself,
but I’ll gladly suffer the indignity. Thank the Lord for
80 years and thank the Lord for as many more as we
need, as stated, to finish this task.
Thank you so very, very much for your help in this.
Thank you for being a part of what God is doing all
over the world.
In the Master’s service, yours,
Jimmy Swaggart

[ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5]
Each time we taped the shows, the Lord’s presence and
anointing was so strong people in other areas of the sound
stage would stop their work and listen. Some would cry.
Since the program was geared to unsaved people, many
times I stopped right in the middle of the program and
offered people in the viewing audience an opportunity
to accept Christ.
Hundreds of letters began pouring into the office demonstrating what impact the program was having on people’s
lives. A man in Dallas wrote saying his father never darkened the doorway of a church, but the old man religiously
watched the program every Sunday with tears in his eyes.
“I believe dad will be waiting for me in heaven,” wrote
the son, “because of your telecast.”
The program crossed racial and ethnic barriers. One night,
I stepped off the platform of an auditorium in Norfolk,
Virginia. I was tired and worn from the three-hour service.
My clothes were damp with perspiration and I longed to
get back to the hotel to rest.
As I moved toward the stage exit, a thick, muscular arm
reached out and grabbed me. I turned and looked square
into the rough face of a large black man.
“Brother Swaggart, I want to tell you something,” the
man said.
I stood listening. In fact, I had no choice.
“Just a few months ago, I was a Black Panther,” he said
softly. “My life was wrapped up in hate. It was my whole
existence. After a night of drinking and partying, I flipped
on the television one Sunday morning and your telecast
came on. I started to turn it off but there was something
about your music that stopped me.
“I got back in bed and the music began to sober me up
like I was being delivered from some evil spirit. When the
program was over, I knelt beside the bed and gave my
heart to Jesus. I’ve been filled with the Holy Spirit and
I’m now preaching the gospel.”
I thought back to the drawing power of God’s music. It
drew my parents into a little Pentecostal church in Louisiana, and it drew a Black Panther to Jesus. Surely our
God is a singing God, who loves to hear His people join
in on the chorus.
