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 />

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 />
– Joel 3:2)<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 />

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 />

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.

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!

denominations worldwide ever be unified as one body in Christ<br />
Dr. <strong>Jack</strong> <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> explains how divisions sabotage the church, but<br />
unity can bring us together and how forces within Christendom today<br />
actually work to destroy the body of Christ through bigotry and hate!<br />
Dr. <strong>Jack</strong> <strong>Van</strong> <strong>Impe</strong> reveals the evil that stalks even believers in<br />
Alcohol: the Beloved Enemy<br />
If you or someone you love battles alcoholism, this is the perfect<br />
book to provide hope and help. It also takes a look at alcohol as it is<br />
presented in the Bible, and it challenges the historical view that prohibition<br />
in America actually caused the rise of mob-style crime and<br />
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 />
