> ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK: JEZEBEL & WITCHCRAFT II
>
> Good Morning and Blessings on you!
> This is going to be an even more spectacular day than yesterday!  Ready?
> A quick note before we get started today.  In case you've visited our
> website lately
> (http://www.CoffeeBreakOnline.com<http://www.coffeebreakonline.com/>)
> and found the daily posts missing, and most of the archived articles
> gone, that's my fault.  I accidentally deleted the archived articles
> when I was trying to update the site.
> Sandra Hartle is our regular webmaster, and normally she has taken care
> of updating the site.  However, several weeks ago, she had to undergo
> some pretty serious surgery that laid her up and incapacitated her for
> over a month.  Although she has been recovering nicely, she still hasn't
> been up to sitting up for several hours to reconstruct the site after my
> blunders.  I know she will appreciate your prayers for her complete
> recovery and total restoration of strength.
> In the meantime, if you are looking for any of the archived articles,

> Got my good strong cup of French Roasted Columbian (still haven't
> figured out how the French got into this act!) poured, and I'm on my
> second cup.  Better grab yours before its too late.
> Yesterday, I ran out of time (and space) to complete a story on seeing
> firsthand the spirit of Jezebel in operation.  It never occurred to me
> at the time that this was what I was seeing, and not for several years
> thereafter did I understand the demonic nature of what transpired.  Not
> until the Holy Spirit led me into the ministry of deliverance did I
> begin to comprehend what had unfolded before me; and then I watched as
> the Lord brought both judgment and vindication.
> As I wrapped the day up in part one of this discussion yesterday, I said
> that as soon as I was gone from Barrow, a fake trial was held before the
> church board.  Dwain was found guilty in absentia.  He never had an
> opportunity to present evidence that would have cleared him.  Neither
> was I ever given an opportunity - as one who had personally worked with
> him and been involved in the day-to-day ministry - to present any
> evidence or testimony contrary to that of the conspirators.
> Dwain was contacted while in California and advised to get back to
> Barrow to pack up his personal belongings, and told that he was through
> as a pastor in Alaska.  You can imagine his shock.  He flew to Fairbanks
> to meet with the District Superintendent (DS) to plead his case and was
> brushed off without so much as an ounce of grace.
> Anyone who knows me knows that I'm about the last person on the face of
> this earth to believe in conspiracies and I don't abide conspiracy
> theories very well.  Nevertheless, as this situation unfolded, it became
> clear that certain preachers in Alaska wanted titles and political power
> within the Alaska Missions.  Because of my father's long history of
> building and establishing churches and his pioneering ministry, they
> figured he was in line to become the top leader within the denomination
> and its operations in Alaska.
> Dad was about as apolitical as any person you've ever met.  He wasn't
> the least bit interested in titles or positions.  He was there because
> God called and anointed him to lay foundations, and build and establish
> the Kingdom of God throughout the arctic.  He didn't have time for
> church politics and adamantly criticized those within the denomination
> for getting wrapped up in it.
> Nevertheless, he was given a title (as General Presbyter - that's an
> overseer and representative of a group of churches) and a certain amount
> of authority within the statewide operations of the denomination.  What
> Dad knew was that his authority didn't come from the denomination; it
> came from the Lord who called him and sent him.  He used his position -
> not as a political power base, but as a means to extend his reach in
> ministry.
> One of the things I've found to be true in a lifetime of ministry is
> that those who seek political power and position generally tend to be
> afraid of it; and their seeking after that power and position comes from
> a place of wanting the esteem of men.  Likewise, those who seek after
> power and political titles tend to believe that everyone else also wants
> that power.  It becomes a place of competition, manipulation and
> control.  Hence, it becomes a platform in their lives for witchcraft to
> take hold and function in and through them.
> Thus, those who conspired to remove Dwain from the pastorate in Barrow
> did so because they felt he was a "vote" for my father to have the
> general superintendence of the denomination in Alaska.  Hervel was a
> pawn - a willing one, to be sure, but a pawn nevertheless.  His greed
> and willingness to subvert the Gospel for the sake of what he viewed as
> a powerful political position (he became the pawn of a spirit of
> witchcraft) made him an easy target for those who also had subverted the
> Gospel.
> Dwain didn't waste much time nursing any wounds over the conspiracy and
> his removal from Barrow.  He began ministering in a church in southern
> California as new doors opened up to him.  The conspiracy hadn't ended,
> of course, but the Lord was setting the stage for judgment for the
> would-be conspirators.
> By now, of course, I was in Nome, working at the bank and receiving my
> training to take the management of the Kotzebue branch; and at the same
> time helping our family friend and brother in the Lord, Paul Bills, in
> his pastorate of the church in Nome where I'd grown up in my early
> childhood.  A general unrest began to develop in my spirit in the midst
> of my bank management training, and I realized this was not the
> direction of the Lord in my life.  The job wasn't paying a whole lot of
> money (unless you are in management in banking, you don't make any money
> at all), and I was struggling to pay my bills.
> Our young daughter, Debbie, was fighting with one sickness after
> another, and money was spending like water.  A friend I'd known from my
> youth was working for the state of Alaska as a civil engineer.  He knew
> of my engineering and math skills and offered me a high-paying job with
> the state as a surveyor on a remote highway project.  I decided it was
> time to get my bills paid off and actually make a move towards
> permanent, full-time pastoral ministry, resigned from the bank and took
> the surveyor's job.
> In the meantime, I discovered that the denomination was looking for a
> missionary to take the church in Nenana, Alaska so I submitted my name
> to the missions organization.  As soon as my father heard that I had put
> my name in consideration, he contacted the missions leadership and put
> in his plug on my behalf.
> It never dawned on me - and certainly not on my Dad - that this move
> would be regarded in exactly the same way they regarded Dwain's
> pastorate of the church in Barrow: namely, another vote for my father,
> and a threat to those who sought political power and position.  I
> waited, and waited, and waited, and waited some more.  It didn't make
> sense that I wasn't receiving any response from the missions leadership.
> The need in Nenana was urgent and I was more than qualified.
> Weeks turned into months, and still no response was forthcoming.  I
> asked Paul Bills to check on it for me and see if he could rattle some
> doors on my behalf.  The look in his eye when I asked should have spoken
> volumes, but I was na EFve enough to think that he was fully supportive
> of my request.
> After some five months had passed and still no answer was forthcoming
> from the denomination, a letter arrived in the mail from Audrey Mieir,
> the songwriter, arranger and singer whom I had known from my days in
> Bible College.  She asked me if I would pray about and consider taking
> over the youth ministry in her brother-in-law's church in Duarte,
> California: Bethel Union Church.  There was an immediate "YES" in my
> spirit.  This was the direction of the Lord, and it was clear.
> I still didn't understand why I hadn't heard anything from the
> denominational missions leadership, but decided to let it pass.  In the
> midst of the transition in moving from Alaska to California, I used my
> aunt and uncle's home in Santa Clara, California as a stopover and a
> staging place from which to make the final move.  A letter from the
> missions board that was sent to my Alaskan address caught up with me in
> Santa Clara.  To sum up that letter, it read, "with your life so out of
> order and your bills unpaid, how dare you apply for a place of ministry
> with us?"
> Since I had paid off my bills before leaving Alaska with the high-paying
> job as a surveyor, the letter was puzzling to say the least.  None of it
> made any sense, and I simply threw the letter in the trash can.
> Besides, I already had my direction from the Lord.
> Now.  Let's fast forward to the late fall of 1976.  I've been
> ministering with Dwain McKenzie (again!) at Long Beach Christian Center
> for the past five years.  The events of a decade previous are long gone
> from our memories.  The past ten years have produced such change in me
> that I'm no longer anything like what I was in 1966.  There has been an
> unfolding of a series of miracles and spectacular works of the Holy
> Spirit as I could scarcely have imagined.  Now I've accepted Scott
> Hessek's offer to take the ministry of CBN and the 700 Club to Alaska.
> Arriving in Anchorage and on my way to Saint Paul Island where my folks
> are ministering, I spend a few days reacquainting myself with people
> I've known throughout much of my life.  On Sunday, prior to my Monday
> departure for Saint Paul Island, I decide to visit the denominational
> church in Anchorage where many of my past friends or acquaintances would
> likely be.
> The Sunday morning service gets under way and the pastor makes a point
> of publicly acknowledging and recognizing my presence.  At the
> conclusion of the service, a hand taps me on the shoulder from behind
> and a familiar voice says, "Regner, I'm so glad to see you."  It was
> Paul Bills.  I spun around, grabbed him and gave him a big bear hug.
> "Brother Bills, I sure am glad to see you!  What are you doing here?"  I
> hadn't kept track of him or his movements, and was unaware that he had
> been gone from Nome for some time.
> Tears came to his eyes, and he began to weep.  "Brother, I need to ask
> you for your forgiveness," he said.  You could have pushed me over with
> a feather.  "Why on earth do you need my forgiveness," I asked.
> "Ten years ago, I did you a terrible wrong.  When you applied for
> missionary status with the missions board and requested appointment to
> Nenana, I sent accusatory letters against you in order to block your
> appointment."  He went on to relate the conspiracy that had taken place
> between him, the then-District Superintendent, and others in ministry in
> Alaska to block people from being in a position where they could become
> supporting votes for my father to have the general superintendency.
> I responded, "Brother, you didn't have to do that!  Dad couldn't have
> cared less for the title or the position.  He was too focused on
> accomplishing what the Lord anointed and appointed him to do.  Becoming
> the General Superintendent was the last thing on his mind!"
> Paul Bills nodded his head.  "I know that, now, but I was too caught up
> in wanting the position myself.  I was wrong, brother, and the Lord has
> taken me to task for it.  I am suffering His judgment because of my
> actions.  He has instructed me to put my house in order and prepare to
> die.  Brother, I have Lou Gehrig's disease, and I have less than two
> years to live.  I did you wrong, among others, in the midst of my greed
> and manipulation to have political power, and I'm asking you to forgive
> me."
> I was so overcome with emotion it was hard to speak.  "Brother Bills," I
> said brokenly, "Whatever you meant for evil, the Lord has meant for
> good.  I wouldn't trade the past ten years of seeing and experiencing
> all that the Lord has done in and through me for the whole world!
> Consider yourself more than forgiven."
> I only saw Paul Bills a couple of times after that.  His health
> deteriorated rapidly and in less than two years, he was gone.  Inquiries
> into the whereabouts of the previous District Superintendent, as well as
> the would-be pastor in Barrow (Hervel) who had aided in the conspiracy
> to remove Dwain yielded the following, and I realized that the Lord was
> executing judgment.
> The previous DS had also been stricken with a nerve disorder that
> eventually caused his death.  The church board in Barrow soon realized
> after Dwain's dismissal that he was not guilty of the accusations
> leveled against him, and that in fact, Hervel had trumped up charges of
> criminal activity of which he was personally guilty.  The church asked
> for his removal and he was gone shortly thereafter, dismissed from the
> denomination, and he moved to Nome where he became its City Manager.  It
> didn't take long for Hervel to resume his financial fraud.  An
> investigation by federal agents brought about an indictment for
> embezzlement.  His wife divorced him, and he wound up in prison.
> See what the spirit of Jezebel does to people?  See what happens when
> folks become contaminated by the sin of witchcraft?
> Remember the quote I shared with you yesterday from Revelation 2, "And I
> gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
> Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with
> her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.  And I
> will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that
> I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every
> one of you according to your works."
> That's EXACTLY what happened to all those who committed adultery with
> the spirit of Jezebel in this case.  In case you haven't seen it yet,
> this WAS the spirit of Jezebel hard at work to usurp the power, the
> authority, and the anointing of God's anointed and appointed.  Those who
> committed adultery with the spirit of Jezebel were "cast into great
> tribulation" because they never repented of their deeds - at least not
> until it was too late.  Paul Bills publicly repented for his part in the
> ongoing conspiracies, and his public repentance exposed sin and
> corruption that had plagued the missions organization in Alaska for
> years.
> Yesterday, I said that I would show you how the Lord vindicated Dwain
> after all of the false charges and accusations.
> Let's fast forward one more time - this time to 1988.  By this time,
> Della and I are in Anchorage.  Dwain calls me on the phone needing a
> place to stay for a day or two ON THE WAY BACK TO BARROW!!  That's
> right.  Think the Lord doesn't remember the afflictions of the
> righteous?  Think the Lord doesn't make good when His anointed and His
> appointed are falsely accused and conspired against?  Think the Lord
> doesn't have the last word in these affairs?
> Think again!  After all the water that had gone under the bridge during
> a span of more than 21 years, Dwain was asked to consider taking the
> church again in Barrow.  Understand that he hadn't been with the
> denomination during most of that span of time.  Nevertheless, there were
> people in Barrow who had kept in touch with Dwain, and when the
> opportunity presented itself they asked him to consider coming back.
> Like me, Dwain had an adopted daughter of Eskimo heritage along with an
> adopted son as well, and the ties meant ongoing contact.
> It probably isn't necessary to go into all of the details that unfolded
> other than to say that Dwain resumed the pastorate of the church in
> Barrow, remaining there for 14 more years, and taking the church to new
> dimensions spiritually.  That didn't mean he didn't have a battle royal
> on his hands when he returned to Barrow.  He did indeed.  Some of those
> folks who had participated in the original conspiracy in 1966 thought he
> ought not to be back in Barrow, and they once again raised their hands
> in judgment against him.
> This time, the Lord demonstrated His judgment, and just about every
> single person who lifted up their voice or their hand in judgment
> against Dwain suffered a similar fate as those who initially led the
> conspiracy.  God's tolerance with Christians who submit continually to
> witchcraft and the spirit of Jezebel has grown shorter and shorter and
> shorter as the age has been drawing to an end.  When people continue to
> commit spiritual adultery with those wicked spirits, refusing to repent
> of their sins, the judgment of God has a finality about it that displays
> little tolerance.
> I still want to take you into the eight characteristics I outlined
> yesterday that depict the nature and character of this spirit, and
> that's where we will go with it tomorrow.
> I'm an Extremist!  I'm extreme enough to believe God can do ANYTHING -
> for me -- AND for you.
