JULY, 2006
Dear Lamplight Family,
Greetings from my office (Judy’s) where I am seeing a
lightning show in the skies with welcome rain pelting down not so gently. Thunder reigns across the air waves sounding
quite like I can imagine reigns in the air waves of the wartorn nations of the
world at this moment. Please stop with
me now to pray for all who are living in fear for their own lives and the lives
of their loved ones.
COMMENTS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE
BEEN HELPED BY OUR
PUBLICATIONS
A PASTOR FROM MALAWI, CENTRAL AFRICA WAS HELPED GREATLY BY THE BOOKS WE
SENT HIM. Rev. Kefa Phin said, “Let me have the pleasure to greet you in the name
of Almighty Lord Jesus. The main theme
of dropping down this letter to you brother and sister is to thank you for the two
books you sent me. I have been studying
Exchange Your Worries for God's Perfect
Peace and God's Wisdom Is Available
to You. These books are helping me
very much. God must bless you for
helping so many people. I pray that God
will guide you. I am excited and
happy. Thank you.”
A MAN FROM THE PHILIPPINES STOPPED STRUGGLING AFTER READING EXCHANGE YOUR WORRIES FOR GOD'S PERFECT PEACE. Juan Perez said, “I have searched for God’s peace for my life long and hard. It has been a struggle to say the least. I am so glad to have your book Exchange Your Worries for God's Perfect Peace. After reading this book my struggles stopped. I am at peace. Thank you for sending this book to me.”
A WOMAN FROM FLORIDA FOCUSED ON SCRIPTURE FROM SOARING ABOVE THE PROBLEMS OF LIFE INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON AN
APPROACHING HURRICANE. This woman said, “I live a few blocks from the Gulf
of Mexico. Last year when a Category
Three hurricane was approaching I was tempted to panic. I have a beloved horse in a barn that is
sixteen miles away from my home. I was
concerned about the storm that was approaching and also about the welfare of my
horse. Instead of giving into panic I
meditated continually on Scripture from Soaring
Above the Problems of Life. I found
that I was very calm because I was meditating on God’s Word instead of worrying
about the problems I faced. Everything
worked out fine. The hurricane turned
away from us. My horse was not
hurt. I learned a valuable lesson from
this experience. Thank you very much
for your books, Scripture cards and tapes.”
A MAN FROM IOWA RECEIVED OUR HEALING BOOK WHEN HE WAS IN A HOSPITAL
BED. HE SAID THAT THIS BOOK IS
INVALUABLE TO HIM. This man said, “Your book on healing is absolutely
awesome. This book is exactly what I
need and it arrived precisely when I needed it. I was immobilized in a hospital bed as a result of a blood clot
in my leg following surgery on my knee.
I received your book in God’s perfect timing while I was in the
hospital. There is no question that
Jesus Christ has paid the full price for my healing. You laid out all of the facts from the Bible beautifully. This fantastic book is invaluable. Thank you very much.”
A VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM JACK
HARTMAN
I
guarantee that your life will be blessed
immensely if you will take action on the advice I am about to give
you. Taking this action will only
require a few minutes of your time and will not cost you one penny.
Bill
Keller is just completing a book of the devotionals he wrote during the first
six years of his ministry. I have spent
hundreds of hours working with Bill on this book. I can tell you that I believe that this book will be more
important to you than any book you have ever read except the Bible. The books that we publish at Lamplight
Ministries are good, but in all honesty I tell you that this book is
better. The contents of this book are
dynamic. This book contains devotionals
categorized topically into 144 different categories. I promise that you will turn to this book often for invaluable information on a wide variety of
subjects.
This
book soon will go to the printer. Bill
is praying over several different titles.
The initial printing will be approximately 350,000 copies. Bill is giving as he so often does. There is no
cost for this book. Bill is giving
one free copy to each person who requests this book which should be published
sometime in September.
This
outstanding book should contain almost 800 pages. The book is as large as your Bible. If you would like a complimentary copy of this outstanding book
take a few minutes now to send an email to book@liveprayer.com. Request a copy of this book. Be sure
to include your name and address. Tell
Bill that we recommended this book to you.
If
you are unable to use email write a letter to Liveprayer Book, 6660 46th
Ave. N., St. Petersburg, FL 33709. Include the above information in your
letter. I urge you to take action on
this project now. It will only take you
a few minutes. I promise you that you will be blessed beyond comprehension
when you carefully study this unique and comprehensive book.
COMMENTS FROM JACK HARTMAN
We
had hoped to announce our new website in this month’s newsletter. However, we will have to wait one more
month. We have put a great deal of work
into this website. We are almost done,
but not quite. We do not want to rush
this important project. We want to get
it right.
We
believe that our new website will be very encouraging to many people around the world.
We look forward to being able to give you the details on the
improvements in our website in the next newsletter.
I
am 75 years old, but I feel like a little child on Christmas morning because I
am so excited about our newest
book. Most mornings I am sitting at my
desk before 5:00 a.m. working on another chapter.
The
working title for this book is God Will
Bring You Through Adversity (see Psalm 46:1). The title may change, but the topic will not change. This book is filled with scriptural
information explaining what the Bible tells you to do when you face
adversity. This book will contain a great deal of new information that was
not contained in Soaring Above the
Problems of Life when I wrote it twenty years ago and in our Scripture
Meditation Cards, Receive God's Blessings in Adversity, that Judy
and I co-authored in 1999.
If
you have read the first five chapters of Unshakable
Faith in Almighty God you know I believe that significant adversity will be
coming on us in the near future. If I
am wrong you still can be assured that you will face significant adversity in
your life. The Bible tells us that
everyone will face adversity (see Job 5:7, Job 14:1 and I Peter 4:12).
Your
Father wants you to be prepared when adversity comes upon you. He has given you hundreds of scriptural
instructions telling you exactly what to do when you face adversity. Many Christians know little or nothing about
these specific instructions from God.
If you face sudden adversity today and you did not have time to study
your Bible, what specific scriptural instructions and promises do you know that
you would stand upon when you face sudden adversity?
I
am engaged in an exciting adventure. I
work on this book six days a week.
This project is very hard work and sometimes this work is tedious, but I
look forward to the challenge each day.
I believe this new book will be completed within a year. I have several more books that I know the
Lord is leading me to write until He comes.
I
am not at all interested in what the world calls retirement. I have never been more fulfilled in my
life. I am very excited about the books
that are still to be written.
Please
pray and ask the Lord if He would have you contribute financially to help us to
send out many complimentary copies of
our books and Scripture Meditation Cards to needy people in Third World
countries and to inmates in prisons and jails.
We also will appreciate your prayers.
We currently are working on expanding our ministry to help more people
in Indonesia, Russia, Israel, Australia and several other countries.
COMMENTS FROM JUDY HARTMAN
We
recently received a telephone call from Pastor Bill and Roxie Novak of The
Spoken Word Church in Ladysmith, Wisconsin.
I asked Pastor Bill how he first became acquainted with our
publications. He told me that he saw an
ad in 1984 in a magazine where Jack offered a copy of Trust God for Your Finances. After
Pastor Bill read his copy, he gave a copy to everyone in his church. He has continued to do this ever since that
time. The Novaks have ordered every
book and set of Scripture cards we have published.
Pastor
Bill said, “We like the books because Jack has done the work for us getting
Scripture in alignment for each topic.
What better way to do a study of God’s Word on a specific topic than to
have all of the Scriptures there for you?
“I
tell everyone, ‘If you want to know the best author in the body of Christ today,
it is Jack Hartman. If you want to
study a particular topic or area of life, buy the appropriate book Jack has
written. Whether the topic has to do
with finances, physical healing, mental and emotional issues, or the end times,
your books cover them from A to Z. The
study guides at the end of each book are great.’ (Our new website which will be up soon will have a chart listing
problems that many people face and explaining which of our publications will
best provide answers in each of these specific areas.)
Pastor
Novak continued saying, “I would recommend the Scripture Meditation Cards to
any church in the world. The dream of
every pastor is to have resources to get the Word of God accurately before the
people. I smile right now as I look at
all of the books and Scripture cards right in front of me.”
I
then asked Roxanne, Pastor Bill’s wife, for her thoughts about how the
relationship between The Spoken Word Church and Lamplight Ministries has grown
over the years. She told me, “From the
moment we received the books we thought they were wonderful. We read Trust
God for Your Finances and it was everything we would tell our own
people. We are so happy that every
family in our congregation receives a copy of this book.
“The
Scripture cards are fantastic. I take
them everywhere with me. Our children
are away now: one is in college, and
they tell me on the phone that they have the cards with them. Many times when we are resting or going to
bed we pop Jack in the tape recorder.
You are constantly in our eyes and in our ears. Everything you have done is something that
we know is 100% scriptural and solid.
It is comforting to know that we have something we can count on like
that.”
Would
you please pray about ministering in your area by taking our books to your
local library, your home school group, your local jail, a local rehab center
such as Teen Challenge or a homeless outreach?
We would like to be part of the revival of a hunger for God’s Word in
our nation. If you are willing, we will
send you a package of our books to donate.
We know that the Word of God in our publications will bring the purpose
and presence of God into hungry-for-God needy people.
We
are in a battle for our nation to choose to live in God’s presence and
power. Together we can make a
difference☺ Please contact me if
you would like to participate.
Looking
around we can see that evil is exploding.
We know also that the goodness of God and His righteousness in His
family also are exploding. Father, we
pray that Your presence and power will explode within us so that others will
beg us to know of the hope that is within us.
In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
Yours in Christ,
Jack and Judy Hartman
