about heaven It’s true! You can know<br />

who will be in heaven, what will happen there,<br />

what it will be like, and much more. Since<br />

heaven is your eternal destination, now is the<br />

Scriptural description of heaven, and there is a<br />

special bonus: Rexella describes her own neardeath<br />

In the Twinkling of an Eye<br />

What happens the moment you die What also occurs<br />

if you are alive at the moment of the Rapture<br />

Will you instantaneously go to heaven What will it be like<br />

What will you do when you get there<br />

I am still surprised, after all these years in ministry, to<br />

discover that so many Christians have such a foggy<br />

notion of heaven’s characteristics. Even though heaven<br />

is mentioned 559 times in the Bible — with precise,<br />

definite, and detailed information about it — most<br />

believers are vague about this glorious place. They<br />

know about the “pearly gates” but what about the who,<br />

what, where, when, and why<br />

As part of my commitment to teaching the truth of<br />

God’s Word to my partners in ministry, Rexella and I<br />

produced a detailed video presentation entitled<br />

HEAVEN: An Out-of-Body Adventure. Into this fastpaced,<br />

fascinating video we have carefully woven the<br />

answer to every answerable question about heaven! My<br />

prayer is that you will request this extraordinary<br />

resource as you support our ministry today. This video<br />

is a peaceful presentation filled with joy, inspiration<br />

and the best music this side of heaven.<br />

You do not need to wonder any longer about your<br />

eventual, eternal home! Rexella and I, in 90 engaging<br />

minutes of high-energy teaching, will take you on a<br />

tour, answering every question posed to us down<br />

Even though<br />

heaven is mentioned<br />

559 times in the<br />

through my past 50+ years of ministry<br />

— such as:<br />

✶ Where is heaven located<br />

What is the significance of the<br />

great empty space in the nebula<br />

of Orion discovered by<br />

astronomers — a space large<br />

enough to have 30 solar systems<br />

like ours, plus room to<br />

spare! (What does the Bible<br />

mean by the terms “up” and<br />

“in the north”)<br />

✶ Why does the Bible talk<br />

about three heavens<br />

Where are they<br />

This is exciting<br />

information!<br />

✶ What is the theory of<br />

“soul sleep” Do I, or<br />

do I not, go to be<br />

with the Lord instantaneously<br />

when I die<br />

✶ Will I see all three<br />

members of the<br />

Trinity in heaven —<br />

or just Jesus<br />

✶ What about the millions<br />

of aborted<br />

babies ... Will they be present<br />

in heaven<br />

✶ Are people in heaven looking<br />

down upon the earth Do they<br />

know what their loved ones<br />

are doing<br />

✶ Are there actual mansions in<br />

heaven Are there really pearly<br />

gates in the coming Holy city<br />

that descends from heaven as<br />

Christ returns<br />

✶ What is the difference<br />

between “paradise,” “the third<br />

heaven,” and the “holy city”<br />

✶ Will there be weddings<br />

when heaven is transferred to<br />

earth Will I still be married<br />

to my spouse<br />

✶ Will babies be born during<br />

this time<br />

✶ Will I eat in heaven<br />

What about my pets<br />

✶Will there be pain, sorrow,<br />

or regret in heaven<br />

Will there be tears<br />

(Trick questions! No!<br />

Order the video for the<br />

surprising answers!)<br />

✶ Will I actually have a<br />

“glorified body” What<br />

does this really mean<br />

✶ What does the Bible<br />

mean by the “first resurrection”<br />

How many<br />

resurrections are there


Perhaps Today | May-June 2004 <strong>Jack</strong> <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> 5<br />

✶ Will my friends know me in<br />

heaven Will I recognize my<br />

loved ones<br />

✶ What will I spend my time<br />

doing in heaven Won’t I get<br />

bored with nothing but harp<br />

music and church services<br />

all the time<br />

✶ Will there be surprises<br />

in heaven<br />

✶ Will I travel in space at the<br />

speed of light<br />

✶ What about angels How many<br />

are there What role will they<br />

play in heaven Do I actually<br />

have a “ministering” or<br />

“guardian” angel already<br />

assigned to me<br />

✶ Will everybody be treated<br />

equally in heaven Will I get<br />

rewards How do I get them<br />

Do I run the risk of losing<br />

them before I get there<br />

✶ Are the Native Americans right<br />

about heaven being a “happy<br />

hunting ground” Is the Hindu<br />

“nirvana” the same as heaven<br />

✶ What really happens to people<br />

who don’t go to heaven<br />

These and dozens of other<br />

intriguing questions<br />

are addressed<br />

in a<br />

clear-cut, easy-to-understand format<br />

in the video HEAVEN: An<br />

Out-of-Body Adventure. We deal<br />

with fascinating out-of-body experiences<br />

of various people who<br />

seem to have left this dimension<br />

and traveled to another realm.<br />

Are such experiences real Or<br />

imagined Are they hoaxes Did<br />

such people actually glimpse life<br />

after death<br />

My dear wife Rexella is among<br />

them. She relates her personal<br />

experience in Belgium, when we<br />

were involved in a near-fatal automobile<br />

accident. As I cradled her<br />

seemingly-lifeless body in my<br />

arms and cried out to God, she<br />

felt herself departing and she<br />

looked back at the tragic scene.<br />

Her personal testimony is moving,<br />

fascinating, amazing! And it is<br />

part of this beautifully uplifting,<br />

encouraging video that we have<br />

produced for you.<br />

You’re going to laugh and<br />

cry as you experience<br />

this blissful,<br />

tender,<br />

beautiful study of 250 Old and<br />

New Testament texts about your<br />

future “home sweet home”! It’s a<br />

video unlike any other we have<br />

ever produced! It will produce<br />

peace, comfort, joy, and hope — I<br />

urge you to share it with family,<br />

friends, the sick, the depressed,<br />

the discouraged, anyone in need of<br />

a lift or a new lease on life.<br />

The Bible says, “Whatsoever good<br />

thing any man doeth, the same<br />

shall he receive of the Lord”<br />

(Ephesians 6:8). When you share<br />

this message of hope with your<br />

loved ones — and when you give<br />

to this ministry as you request your<br />

video — God will bless you! It’s<br />

His promise!<br />

Let the wonderful adventure<br />

begin!

Wrld Report<br />

Chief Rabbis:<br />

No one has the right to<br />

touch the land of Israel<br />

Arutz Sheva reports: “Over 200 rabbis<br />

from all over Israel arrived in<br />

the Ramada Renaissance Hotel in<br />

Jerusalem for what was termed an<br />

emergency session of the Union of<br />

Rabbis in light of the threat to the<br />

integrity of the land of Israel.<br />

Speaker after speaker expressed<br />

objections on every possible<br />

grounds to the Prime Minister’s<br />

plan to withdraw Israeli control<br />

from Gaza and expel close to 8,000<br />

Jews from their homes in the land<br />

of Israel.<br />

Presiding over the conference was<br />

Rabbi Avraham Shapira, who served<br />

as Israel’s Chief Rabbi from 1983-<br />

1993, and who heads the Central<br />

Universal Yeshiva (Merkaz HaRav)<br />

in Jerusalem. ‘The events have<br />

shown all of us that, Heaven forbid,<br />

whoever harms the land of Israel,<br />

whoever thinks thoughts in this<br />

direction, loses his seat and his<br />

regime,’ Rabbi Shapira said. ‘We<br />

are expressing not a political opinion,<br />

but the opinion of Torah; whoever<br />

wants to hear it, will hear it.<br />

The Torah says that the entire land<br />

is ours and we must not give it<br />

away, and especially when it is liable<br />

to lead to loss of life.’<br />

‘We come in the name of<br />

the Torah to strengthen<br />

and be strengthened,’<br />

Rabbi Shapira continued.<br />

‘The entire public,<br />

our rabbis and their students,<br />

will cry out and<br />

will act, even if we have<br />

to instruct the public to<br />

gather in Gaza, in Gush<br />

Katif, we will do that,<br />

with G-d’s help, with<br />

might and valor and<br />

greatness, to double and<br />

triple the number of<br />

Jews there, and not allow<br />

the evacuation and uprooting of a<br />

Jewish town. It is against Torah law<br />

and simple morality, and the government<br />

must not even discuss it!’<br />

Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu, who<br />

served as Rishon LeTzion (Chief<br />

Sephardic Rabbi) during Rabbi<br />

Shapira’s term, said that no one has<br />

the right to give away parts of the<br />

land of Israel. ‘Let no one think that<br />

just because he was elected, this<br />

means that the land of Israel is his.’<br />

He said that Israel’s economic and<br />

religious situation is bound up with<br />

the strength of our connection with<br />

the land.<br />

Rabbi Elyakim Levanon of Elon<br />

Moreh said, ‘If the Prime Minister<br />

goes to the U.S., President Bush<br />

should know that Sharon is presenting<br />

a check with no backing.’<br />

Rabbi David Chai HaCohen of Bat<br />

Yam: ‘The dismantling of communities<br />

is a crime against the Jewish<br />

nation throughout the generations,<br />

one that cannot be forgiven. An<br />

agreement in this spirit is akin to<br />

the Munich agreement made with<br />

the Nazis.’…” (These Rabbi’s are<br />

right, the land belongs to Israel<br />

and only Israel – Genesis 3:15;<br />

17:8; Exodus 32:13; Deuteronomy<br />

4:40, Joshua 14:9, Isaiah 60:21;<br />

Jeremiah 7:7. Armageddon occurs<br />

because the leaders part the land<br />

IAEA ‘alarmed’<br />

by large international<br />

nuclear black market<br />

Voice of America News reports:<br />

“The International Atomic Energy<br />

Agency says it is alarmed by revelations<br />

of a large global nuclear black<br />

market and is calling on countries to<br />

deal with companies and individuals<br />

involved in such trafficking.<br />

The head of the U.N. nuclear<br />

watchdog, Mohamed ElBaradei,<br />

told reporters experts need<br />

to overhaul export<br />

controls on

nuclear components. He said the<br />

Pakistani scientist, Abdul Qadeer<br />

Khan, who confessed to transferring<br />

secret nuclear technology to<br />

Libya, North Korea and Iran was<br />

just the ‘tip of the iceberg.’<br />

IAEA spokesman, Mark<br />

Gwozdecky, says Mr. Khan was not<br />

working alone.<br />

‘This apparent nuclear supermarket<br />

is the most dangerous phenomenon<br />

we’ve seen in many years,’ said<br />

Mark Gwozdecky. ‘Unfortunately it<br />

doesn’t end with Mr. Khan and for<br />

us what we need to know is who<br />

supplied what, when and to whom<br />

and did anyone else get this kind of<br />

assistance.’<br />

Pakistan’s President Pervez<br />

Musharraf recently pardoned Dr.<br />

Khan,<br />

who is<br />

regarded<br />

as a<br />

national<br />

hero, and<br />

said he<br />

wouldn’t<br />

submit to<br />

IAEA supervision of the country’s<br />

nuclear program.<br />

Mr. Gwozdecky said the IAEA is in<br />

the process of investigating the<br />

proliferation network, and is working<br />

with countries, such as<br />

Malaysia, which are under suspicion<br />

for involvement in the illicit<br />

nuclear market…” (II Timothy 3:1<br />

– “This know also, that in the latter<br />

days perilous [dangerous]<br />

times shall come.”)<br />

‘Spy chips’ for<br />

nation’s livestock<br />

WorldNetDaily.com reports:<br />

“A lawmaker has introduced a bill<br />

that would require the government<br />

to use controversial satellite-tracking<br />

technology to monitor<br />

livestock from birth to<br />

slaughter.<br />

U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum,<br />

D-Minn., wants the U.S.<br />

Department of Agriculture<br />

to immediately establish a<br />

nationwide livestock identification<br />

system.<br />

The company she has in<br />

mind for the project is<br />

Digital Angel Corporation,<br />

originally formed to produce<br />

implantable tracking<br />

systems for humans.<br />

‘The safety of our food supply is<br />

critical to our families,’ said<br />

McCollum, who introduced the<br />

legislation. ‘This technology will<br />

allow the Department of<br />

Agriculture to track an incidence<br />

of ‘mad cow’ or other diseases in<br />

livestock like chronic wasting disease<br />

discovered in the United<br />

States within 48 hours. We are fortunate<br />

to have a pioneer in this<br />

important technology right in my<br />

home town of South Saint Paul,<br />

Minnesota.’<br />

The first U.S. case of mad cow disease<br />

was reported in an imported<br />

Holstein in<br />

Washington State. An infectious<br />

degenerative brain disease occurring<br />

in cattle, ‘mad cow’ disease, or<br />

bovine spongiform encephalopathy,<br />

is believed to have the potential to<br />

infect humans who consume beef<br />

products from infected livestock.<br />

The resultant human disease is a<br />

variant form of Creutzfeldt-Jacob<br />

Disease.<br />

The one reported case of CJD in<br />

the United States is in a young<br />

woman who contracted it while<br />

residing in the UK and developed<br />

symptoms after moving to the U.S.<br />

McCollum’s legislation would result<br />

in the secretary of agriculture considering<br />

a variety of existing technologies.<br />

The measure also provides<br />

producers with financial aid<br />

from the USDA in order to hasten<br />

transitioning to such a system…”<br />

A latter days answer from God to evolutionists:<br />

Two-volume video set uses nature’s wonders to expose the lies used to deceive our children and grandchildren<br />

The Bible says in the last days, knowledge shall increase, and scientists<br />

have certainly proven that with many modern advances. In<br />

fact, their theory of evolution — that all life on earth today sprang millions<br />

of years ago from a single-celled organism in the primordial soup<br />

— is about to be proven wrong again.<br />

These videos from scientist Dr. Martin Jobe present powerful evidence<br />

that proves animal designs can only be attributed to an all-knowing<br />

Creator — and cannot possibly be explained by evolution. Consider ...<br />

• How can some birds navigate thousands of miles<br />

of ocean and never get lost<br />

• How can fireflies and glow-worms create light<br />

that generates no heat<br />

• How can whales dive to the bottom of the ocean<br />

without the pressure causing implosion<br />

• How can a gecko walk upside-down on glass and<br />

not fall off<br />

• How can a giraffe bend his head low to drink<br />

without causing lethal blood pressure to his brain<br />

This is a fabulous two-volume set that is perfect for<br />

all ages, and especially for skeptics who believe that<br />

science precludes the existence of God.<br />

By Rexella <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong><br />

I<br />

’ll never forget<br />

my first day of<br />

kindergarten. I was<br />

barely five years<br />

old, but I remember<br />

it as vividly as if<br />

it had happened<br />

yesterday.<br />

Making new friends with all my<br />

classmates was exciting, the bright<br />

and cheery decorations in our homeroom<br />

were beautiful, and my teacher<br />

seemed very nice. But the thing that<br />

caught my attention and completely<br />

fascinated me was ... the blackboard.<br />

Watching the teacher take chalk and<br />

draw simple pictures and write letters<br />

on the board was interesting.<br />

But then she took something in her<br />

hand, wiped it back and forth across<br />

the surface of the blackboard, and<br />

instantly every mark she had made<br />

disappeared! I watched in wide-eyed<br />

astonishment, absolutely intrigued.<br />

Before my kindergarten year was<br />

over, I had the opportunity to try it<br />

for myself. I made some chalk<br />

marks on the board, then used the<br />

eraser to make them go away. I<br />

never tired of it. The eraser was my<br />

favorite discovery.<br />

Although I’m normally not a person<br />

who dwells on the past a great deal, I<br />

do often reflect on the blessings and<br />

good things God has sent into my<br />

life. My husband, <strong>Jack</strong>, and I make it<br />

a point to recall and give thanks for<br />

the ministry opportunities, friends,<br />

and victories the Lord has given us<br />

— and continues to bestow upon us.<br />

And since my dear mother’s promotion<br />

to heaven, I often remember<br />

her quiet faith walk, her wise counsel,<br />

and the good times we enjoyed<br />

together. At times I have amazed<br />

myself with how I could recall so<br />

many details of her life and legacy<br />

and my own personal experiences.<br />

Somehow it seemed my mind was<br />

like a recorder.


Perhaps Today | May-June 2004 Rexella <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> 19<br />

Your life,<br />

the movie<br />

An article from Smithsonian<br />

Magazine written by Dr. Wilbur<br />

Penfield, director of the Montreal<br />

Neurological Institute, explains why<br />

I felt that way. He wrote: “Your<br />

brain contains a permanent record<br />

of your past that is like a single, continuous<br />

strip of movie film, complete<br />

with sound track. This film library<br />

records your whole waking life from<br />

childhood on.”<br />

Do you ever have “home<br />

movies” from your past<br />

running in your mind<br />

Sometimes that’s a good<br />

thing, but it can also be<br />

painful to be reminded of<br />

events and people that<br />

have hurt us, or things we<br />

have done to injure others.<br />

Perhaps there are incidents<br />

in our past that we<br />

hope nobody else knows<br />

about, and sometimes the<br />

devil will replay these hidden<br />

shames to torment us.<br />

“Oh, you’re such a bad person,” he<br />

says. “Just look at what you did. How<br />

can you pretend to be so good when<br />

you’re really so rotten” Revelation<br />

12:10 exposes the devil as the “accuser<br />

of our brethren” who accuses us<br />

before God day and night. But the<br />

good news is that we don’t have to<br />

worry about his accusations.<br />

<strong>Jack</strong> refers to Dr. Penfield’s article<br />

in one of the devotionals in his Soul<br />

Food book. His comments there<br />

certainly helped me better understand<br />

the concept of the “book of<br />

remembrance” mentioned in the<br />

Bible. Truly God is the great<br />

Bookkeeper. He has a record of my<br />

life in a heavenly book that has my<br />

name on it — Rexella Shelton <strong>Van</strong><br />

<strong>Impe</strong>. God has kept a record book<br />

on all of humanity — every single<br />

person who has ever lived.<br />

But just as He has written everything<br />

down, good and bad — every<br />

failure, fault, and sin — He also has<br />

the ability and divine desire to erase<br />

everything bad on my record. Oh,<br />

praise God for a heavenly eraser that<br />

deletes every wrong word or thought<br />

or deed!<br />

That eraser, of course, is the blood<br />

of Christ. And it washes us clean! It<br />

wipes everything off the blackboard!<br />

Though your sins be<br />

as scarlet, they shall<br />

be as white as snow.<br />

Isaiah 1:18<br />

God’s heavenly<br />

eraser leaves no trace<br />

behind. Isaiah 1:18 declares,<br />

Though your sins be as scarlet, they<br />

shall be as white as snow. And Psalm<br />

103:12 says, As far as the east is from<br />

the west — and they never meet —<br />

so far hath he removed our transgressions<br />

from us.<br />

ForgiveN aNd<br />

forgotteN<br />

When our sins are forgiven, they are<br />

forgotten. God promises in Hebrews<br />

10:17 — And their sins and iniquities<br />

will I remember no more. In<br />

fact, the prophet Micah rejoiced that<br />

God will cast all our sins into the<br />

depths of the sea (Micah 7:19).<br />

Then, according to D. L. Moody<br />

and Billy Sunday (I don’t know who<br />

said it first), He puts up a great-big<br />

sign that says, NO FISHING<br />

ALLOWED!<br />

God doesn’t want us to go fishing<br />

there, looking for and finding the<br />

past. He wants us to forget it just as<br />

He has. Yet I think that sometimes<br />

after God has erased the blackboard<br />

of our lives, we keep bringing up<br />

events and things that God doesn’t<br />

remember any more. Our human<br />

nature has a tendency to go back<br />

and keep rerunning the old<br />

mental home movies of<br />

what we were like before<br />

God saved us and made us<br />

new creatures through<br />

Christ Jesus.<br />

We must learn how to forget<br />

the past and look to<br />

our future in Christ. The<br />

apostle Paul, acknowledging<br />

that he was not perfect,<br />

cried out, But this<br />

one thing I do, forgetting<br />

those things which are<br />

behind, and reaching forth<br />

unto those things which are<br />

before, I press toward the<br />

mark for the prize of the high<br />

calling of God in Christ Jesus<br />

(Philippians 3:13-14).<br />

Of course, the devil will try to<br />

remind us of our past. One of his<br />

tools of deception is to keep us looking<br />

back. He knows if he can make<br />

us feel that our past sins make us<br />

unworthy to do anything for God,<br />

we cannot be effective in the present.<br />

But we can overcome the devil<br />

with our testimony of erased sins<br />

through the blood of Christ.<br />

Then God can use our life story —<br />

our testimony — to reach other<br />

people who need to be set free<br />

from the shackles of sin. When others<br />

see us walking in victory, it gives<br />

them hope.


Perhaps Today | May-June 2004 Rexella <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> 20<br />

I heard a story about a little girl who<br />

said to her pastor, “I want you to<br />

know that I am saved.”<br />

“That’s wonderful, honey,” he said.<br />

“Can you tell me which one of my<br />

sermons brought you to Christ”<br />

The little girl replied, “It wasn’t anybody’s<br />

preaching—it was my Aunt<br />

Mary’s practicing!”<br />

Let me make it clear that I certainly<br />

am not suggesting that we nonchalantly<br />

fail more and sin more,<br />

expecting God to erase whatever we<br />

do. That’s not what I mean at all.<br />

The truth is that even when we do<br />

our best to live righteously, there<br />

are times when we will not make<br />

the right choices. And in those<br />

times we can and should say,<br />

“Where’s my eraser”<br />

Sin brings shame, but confession<br />

brings confidence. The Bible says, If<br />

we confess our sins, he is faithful and<br />

just to forgive us our sins, and to<br />

cleanse us from all unrighteousness<br />

(1 John 1:9). We can be victorious in<br />

the Lord. We can live a life like Aunt<br />

Mary that draws others to Jesus. We<br />

may have failed yesterday. We may<br />

fail today. But we can ask Him to<br />

erase our failures and sins. Then we<br />

When God erases your sins and you begin<br />

a new life, not only is your future<br />

clean, but your past is clean also.<br />

Living the life of Christ day by day is<br />

not always easy, but there is such<br />

power in our testimony. In Romans<br />

7:19, Paul talks about the struggle he<br />

faced every day in doing what was<br />

right. For the good that I would I do<br />

not: but the evil which I would not,<br />

that I do. Yet, just a few verses later,<br />

he declares, There is therefore now<br />

no condemnation to them which are<br />

in Christ Jesus, who walk not after<br />

the flesh, but after the Spirit (8:1).<br />

What’s the secret Being willing to<br />

say, “Where’s my eraser” Jesus came<br />

into the world for a purpose — not<br />

only to set the example of a perfect<br />

life and to show us God on earth and<br />

what we can be though Him, but<br />

also to erase the blackboard of our<br />

lives again and again! I often find<br />

myself saying in my prayer, “Lord,<br />

thank You for that eraser.”<br />

God is much<br />

better at forgiviNg<br />

thaN we<br />

are at siNNiNg!<br />

Eugene Peterson, the pastor who<br />

produced The Message, a contemporary<br />

language version of the Bible,<br />

observed that “God is much better<br />

at forgiving than we are at sinning.”<br />

Even when we think that we have<br />

absolutely gone too far, that we’ve<br />

really done it this time, or that what<br />

we have done is totally unforgivable,<br />

God stands waiting for us with open<br />

arms. No matter how “good” we<br />

have been at sinning, He is much<br />

better at forgiving. No matter what<br />

we’ve done (or failed to do), it’s<br />

never too bad to be forgiven ... and<br />

to be erased!<br />

can begin anew each day.<br />

There’s a beautiful old hymn called,<br />

“An Evening Prayer,” that captures<br />

the idea of asking God to erase the<br />

blackboard of our lives at the end of<br />

each day. It says:<br />

If I have wounded any<br />

soul today,<br />

If I have caused one foot to<br />

go astray,<br />

If I have walked in my own<br />

willful way,<br />

Dear Lord, forgive.<br />

Forgive the sins I have<br />

confessed to Thee,<br />

Forgive the secret sins I<br />

do not see,<br />

O guide me, love me, and<br />

my keeper be,<br />

Dear Lord, Amen.<br />

Recently, I was witnessing to an


Perhaps Today | May-June 2004 Rexella <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> 21<br />

acquaintance about accepting God’s<br />

forgiveness and beginning a new life<br />

in Christ. Oh, how this person wanted<br />

to do it, but he kept struggling<br />

with some really bad sins — truly<br />

evil practices — that he feared had<br />

ruined his chance for redemption<br />

and taken him beyond forgiveness.<br />

God hates siN ...<br />

but loves siNNers<br />

I shared the amazing truth of<br />

Romans 5:6 — that Christ died for<br />

the ungodly. “It’s true that God hates<br />

sin,” I told this friend, “but that does<br />

not diminish His love for sinners. He<br />

died for the very sins that He hates.<br />

“There is nothing in your life that<br />

cannot be forgiven — no stains that<br />

He cannot erase,” I said. “When God<br />

erases your sins and you begin a new<br />

life, not only is your future clean, but<br />

your past is clean also. That means<br />

every mention of your past failure is<br />

erased in God’s book. It will never<br />

again be found in those heavenly<br />

pages where the greatest Bookkeeper<br />

of all records your deeds.”<br />

So far the person I’ve been witnessing<br />

to has not given his heart to God<br />

and accepted Christ as his Savior. I<br />

am praying that the Lord will continue<br />

to deal with his troubled heart<br />

and love him into His kingdom.<br />

The world we live in today is so<br />

troubled and filled with strife, so<br />

confused and far from God that<br />

many people are filled with fear and<br />

anxiety. From a natural standpoint, it<br />

would be easy to get our blackboard<br />

filled up with worry and dread. If we<br />

as believers study and understand<br />

the Word, we see that prophecy is<br />

coming true. Every day the news<br />

points to the coming of the Lord.<br />

But those without the Lord — those<br />

who do not know that today’s news<br />

points to Christ’s coming — must<br />

get dreadfully discouraged. There is<br />

no hope outside of Christ.<br />

No matter whom you vote for in the<br />

coming election — no matter who<br />

wins — there will not be peace in<br />

the world. No politician or leader<br />

can determine what’s going to happen<br />

in the world.<br />

But we do not have to be sad or fearful<br />

because Jesus said, Let not your<br />

heart be troubled ... I will come again<br />

(John 14:1,3). He also declared,<br />

These things I have spoken unto you,<br />

that in me ye might have peace. In<br />

the world ye shall have tribulation:<br />

but be of good cheer; I have overcome<br />

the world (John 16:33).<br />

If we take our eyes off the Lord and<br />

start looking at the world around us,<br />

then we’re going to falter. The<br />

Gospels tell how Peter started walking<br />

on the water to Jesus, and then<br />

was distracted by the stormy seas<br />

and began to sink. The same thing<br />

can happen to us. When we get that<br />

sinking feeling, like Peter, we need<br />

to cry out to the Lord for help. We<br />

need to ask him to erase the turmoil<br />

and lack of faith in our hearts. The<br />

only cure is to say, “Lord, I missed<br />

the mark again. Please erase it, forgive<br />

it, and help me start again.”<br />

No regrets!<br />

No fear!<br />

You know, because of God’s<br />

heavenly eraser, we don’t<br />

have to regret the<br />

past or fear the<br />

future. God has<br />

forgiven our<br />

past, and<br />

He is<br />

already in<br />

our future.<br />

But the only way<br />

to get to the future is to<br />

live today.<br />

We have absolutely no control over<br />

what happened yesterday — and to<br />

a large extent, we can’t determine<br />

what will come tomorrow. The only<br />

time we can really use is now, today,<br />

where we are living this minute. We<br />

wake up every morning to a clean,<br />

fresh page God has given us that is<br />

labeled TODAY. And, as I’m sure<br />

you’ve heard, it is a gift — that’s why<br />

it is called the present!<br />

I challenge you to start living your<br />

life to the fullest. Because we know<br />

the Lord, this is the most exciting<br />

time to be alive since the dawn of<br />

creation. Give your best to the Lord.<br />

Do your best to make a difference in<br />

your family, your neighborhood ... in<br />

your world. Who knows if God has<br />

brought you to the world for just<br />

such a time as this<br />

Yes, there will be challenges. There<br />

will be times when you don’t know<br />

which way to turn or exactly what you<br />

should do. But keep on going with<br />

your hand in His. Don’t look at the<br />

challenges — just keep your eyes and<br />

heart on the Lord. The Bible says,<br />

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace,<br />

whose mind is stayed on thee: because<br />

he trusteth in thee (Isaiah 26:3).<br />

That’s where I want to live from now<br />

on — how about you<br />

Remember, don’t be afraid to ask for<br />

the eraser when you<br />

need it!

led to an increase in alcohol use. Also great for any Christian who<br />

wants to take closer look at the idea of “social drinking” and how it<br />

impacts the life of Christians.<br />

Letters<br />

The Walking Bible<br />

We Love<br />

Dear Dr. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong>,<br />

I had the joy and honor of traveling with you across<br />

our nation for four years, conducting over 450 banquets.<br />

Not once did I take for granted the opportunity<br />

I had of<br />

working so closely<br />

with “The<br />

Walking Bible.”<br />

What a thrill it<br />

was to spend literally<br />

thousands of<br />

hours laughing,<br />

crying, praying,<br />

and rejoicing in<br />

the Lord with<br />

you. While some<br />

other evangelists<br />

traveled in their<br />

own custom jets, you chose to save the Lord’s<br />

money by riding with me in our work van. In fact, I<br />

still remember the times when Mrs. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> was<br />

with us, which meant the only place left for you to<br />

sit in the two-seat van was in the middle of the cargo<br />

boxes. Many of these trips required traveling 250-<br />

300 miles a day.<br />

What really impressed my friends when I told them<br />

about you folks was that besides not having a real<br />

seat, you spent those many uncomfortable hours<br />

studying and memorizing Scripture. Still more people<br />

were shocked to hear that you got out and<br />

pumped gasoline when we stopped to fill up at<br />

service stations.<br />

I want you to know that I love and appreciate you.<br />

In a day of extravagance and waste, I do not know<br />

of anybody who is a better steward of God’s money<br />

than you. Every step of the way you are conscientious<br />

and aware of how it’s being used. <strong>Jack</strong> <strong>Van</strong><br />

<strong>Impe</strong> <strong>Ministries</strong> was not born overnight, but started<br />

with two young servants eager to serve the Lord<br />

with all their might. I cannot begin to imagine the<br />

sacrifices you made in the early years, oftentimes<br />

not getting paid for weeks of meetings, all the while<br />

living out of a suitcase and even on occasion sleeping<br />

overnight in you car.<br />

Thank God that after all these years you are still<br />

sensitive and concerned with the money God’s people<br />

sacrificially give in support of your ministry. I’m<br />

so thankful that I can have a part in this wonderful<br />

ministry that ministers to ten of thousands of<br />

Christian and reaches the lost for Christ. You can<br />

count on my continued support. I only wish I could<br />

do more.<br />

Your friend,<br />

Bryon Lewis

56 Years of Doing God’s Work<br />

Dear Dr. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong>,<br />

I want to congratulate you on this 56th birthday<br />

anniversary in the work of the Lord. What a record!<br />

For fourteen years I was privileged to be a part of<br />

the ministry where I witnessed first-hand your many<br />

distinguishing attributes. You epitomized Paul’s<br />

admonition: Study to shew thyself approved unto<br />

God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,<br />

rightly dividing the Word of truth. (II Timothy 2:15)<br />

It is evident that you have diligently studied and<br />

memorized God’s Word, and I know that you have<br />

avidly read thousands of books, journals, magazines<br />

and newspaper articles in an effort to be informed<br />

on current affairs and doctrinal issues. Furthermore,<br />

you have utilized your creative abilities to incorporate<br />

this knowledge into videos, books, TV programs,<br />

and other writings. Your disciplined efforts have<br />

been exemplary; yet, you have done it all for the<br />

glory of God.<br />

I remember one chapel service where you quoted<br />

John 3:30: He must increase, but I must decrease,<br />

this was your philosophy. I was the receptionist<br />

when the TV satellite “earth station” was installed<br />

(December 1989). It was a very cold day with a wind<br />

chill factor of 30 degrees below zero. When the two<br />

gentlemen came to the front entrance informing me<br />

they were there to do the job of installing the satellite<br />

dish, I asked them if they felt the weather was<br />

too cold, but they gave a shrug of indifference<br />

implying that wouldn’t be a problem (one of the fellows<br />

was from Florida). They weren’t able to finish<br />

the job (due to the cold temperature) so we rented<br />

another dish, and for the first time in history that<br />

dish got ice on it. Nevertheless, the installation of<br />

the satellite was a significant achievement for it<br />

enables you to reach the world for Christ.<br />

There were many interesting remarks by callers who<br />

expressed the impact you made on their lives. One<br />

man who heard your program for the first time stated,<br />

“He just blows my mind.” A Catholic lady called<br />

to say, “Dr. <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> is like the trunk of a tree, and<br />

I am one of the branches. I have learned from him,<br />

and one of my sons has started watching since I have<br />

been listening, and<br />

he is another<br />

branch.” She went<br />

on to say that her<br />

son wasn’t interested<br />

in religious-type<br />

programs but one<br />

day she noticed that<br />

he was listening,<br />

and when your program<br />

was on, he<br />

wouldn’t miss it.<br />

This same woman<br />

started a study class<br />

at her church, and she reported, “they are branches<br />

from the trunk; they are getting their growth from<br />

the trunk.” (Meaning you).<br />

The message from your videos has also been used by<br />

God to turn people’s lives around. One man came in<br />

to get a video and told me, “I saw the video ‘America<br />

in Prophecy’ and I became a Christian after seeing<br />

it.” One fact stands out as a generally recognized<br />

feeling: people respect and value your opinion. One<br />

caller, a teacher, had a Ph.D. in history — another<br />

taught a class in Geopolitics for the National War<br />

College in Washington D.C. Both callers wanted to<br />

impart correct facts to their students and wanted to<br />

be sure that it was in accord with what you believe.<br />

I thank God that you are being used as one of His<br />

instruments to bring release to countless people<br />

around the world who are being held hostage by sin.<br />

God has used your message to tell them that a loving<br />

Father gave His Son as their ransom. Lastly, I appreciate<br />

the concern you and your dear wife have<br />

shown to me, personally, over the years. I count it a<br />

high privilege to have served on your team. Until the<br />

Lord returns, may you be even more fruitful in<br />

God’s harvest.<br />

Blessings,<br />
