Time in the Word Time in the Word

IT IS TIME FOR MINISTERS TO BE PURE AGAIN!

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

“They have stood before people without first kneeling and confessing before God.

Hear the Word of the Lord. God is not seeking more gifted ministers, He is confronting comfortable and the compromised ones.

He is not impressed by the anointing that masks compromise or charisma that covers disobedience.

Ministers attempt to represent God publicly while refusing to reverence, pray, and worship Him privately.

Holy things cannot be handled with unclean hands without consequence.

Many preach without praying, lead without listening, minister without the anointing. Oh God forgive

They have relied on talent instead of obedience, experience instead of encounter, and applause instead of Heaven’s approval. God will not share His glory with the world, the flesh, or the devil.

When ministers preach, teach, sing, lead, or serve, they are NOT performing, they are representing Him. And He will hold everyone accountable for every careless word, every hidden motive, and every compromise they have justified. The days of carelessness are over.

The Lord is putting the coals from the altar to our lips again, and to the hands that touch His people, and to the hearts that carry His name.

This fire will cleanse, but it will also expose the unrepentant. What has been hidden will not survive this late hour. What has been excused must be confronted. What has been built on self will be dismantled. Let us all run to Him now.

God is cleansing vessels before releasing His power and authority. Let this Sovereign work take place within you!

He is stripping pride, performance, and presumption from pulpits, worship platforms, leadership tables, and prayer rooms.

This is not a season to be seen. This is a season to repent and let Jesus be seen!

The blood of Jesus was not shed to build ministries. It was shed to save and disciple a people.

The Lord is restoring the weight of His presence, and that weight will crush everything built on the world, the flesh, and the devil.

If preachers repent, He will restore. If they return to the altar, He will return His awesome presence. If they fear the Lord, He will bless them with His power for His people again.

He is calling preachers out of green rooms and back to the altar. Out of visibility and back into the secret place. Out of self promotion and back into holy reverential fear. People don’t need to see your face everywhere but they need to see Jesus in you and all about you!

We must stop branding His name. Stop using His presence for personal influence. Stop ministering for affirmation.

Ministry is not entertainment. It is not a career path. It is not a platform. It is a holy calling and divine assignment.

But this must be made clear, God will remove voices before allowing His name to be misrepresented. He is silencing ministers. His purpose and holiness has been abused. Judgment begins at the house of God.

Ministers must repent. Ministers must be pure in His holiness. Ministers must be set apart from the world and unto Him. Ministers must return to the altar of repentance and confession. For the Lord is moving again and His vessels will carry His presence with power and without mixture.

BVM and OMI PARTNERING IN PAKISTAN

Each Tuesday morning 6am, which is 4pm in Pakistan, 25 pastors assemble to be taught seminary level instruction. These brothers and sisters are thirsty for the Word of God. Pastor Shahid Chaman, is the facilitator and translator for this class, along with his wife Abana. Orchard Ministries Int’l provides the office space and the Zoom connection to make this class possible.

We are presently negotiating the purchase of four lots in which to build a building that can serve as a church, Bible institute classes and an apartment. The land purchase alone is only $24,000. This is the first stage. Please pray to see if the Lord would have you help in this.

Our work with OMI in Pakistan continues to grow. We are now training 25 preachers weekly for a 1.5 hour class teaching various fundamental doctrines and subjects where the preachers need strengthened. Currently they’ve been taught the Inspiration of the Scripture, the Deity of Christ, the Virgin Birth of Christ, the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church, Premillennial Eschatology, the five Judgments in the New Testament, the Bodily Resurrection of Christ , Tithing and Offerings, and beginning a three-week series on the 9 Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Thank you to everyone who is helping support these classes via zoom. It wouldn’t happen without your help.

BVM is connected to Evangelist Shahid Chaman and his wife Abana. Every month financial support goes to Pakistan so ministers can preach meetings to the brick slaves, the rural Hindu tribes, and in Evangelical churches. Throughout the month, there are also special requests for things such as medical procedures and medicines, motorcycles, bicycles, heaters, and food.

As Dr. Bob is waiting to be released from doctor’s care, plans are being made for either a March or April for a prolonged trip to Pakistan.

BVM was able to provide winter coats for the slave children who live and work in the brick factories. In addition, three days worth of meals. They hadn’t eaten due to inclement weather which prevented them from making bricks. If you don’t make bricks, you don’t eat. We are also thankful that Abana recovered from an illness that hospitalized her for a few days. God is faithful!

BVM sends money to Cuba every month to support the spreading of the Gospel.

Despite the hardships in Cuba, the constant loss of electricity, scarcity of food and basic medical needs, God still is faithful. The church is able to be a refuge in a dark time. This is one of the greatest mission fields to prove His provision to his children. Dr. Bob is thankful for the opportunity to help Dr. Wilfredo and Yoladis.

Welcome Natasha! In Pakistan if you do not have the money to pay the hospital and doctor, they will not admit you for a procedure. Natasha’s mom needed a C-section for her to be born safely, and the Lord provided the funds to BVM through you so this mother and baby could live. These are no small things. Before After

This is just one of the “miracles” you get to participate in for some people when you sow a seed into BVM.

WHAT’S UP WITH THE VINEYARDS

Welcome to our “It’s Personal” page. For so long we’v haring our highs and lows, praises and prayer requests with you, our dear friends and family. We wanted to stay connected with you because with God, it’s always personal. We hope you enjoy a little of our family connections. Hello from the Vineyards! We have been so blessed and so many wonderful things are happening. To start with the big news, Bob has accepted the call to pastor Ray of Hope Church in Harrisonburg, VA. The Holy Spirit has led this once-flourishing church to call Dr. Bob as their pastor. Down through the years we have partnered with ICPH ministers and congregations, and have felt quite at home there. Although they have been asking Bob to affiliate for quite some time, it was God’s perfect time. We are all trusting God for His blessings on this church that wants to blossom for His glory. Change our hearts, Lord, for what you want. While we don’t believe in stealing sheep, we don’t mind you finding this pasture if you’re wandering or looking. They are located at 1450 Reservoir Street, Harrisonburg. Sunday worship is at 10:30am. Our new church family will welcome you there too.

Bob’s knee replacement recovery is going very well. He is ahead of schedule for what they had expected of him. This means he has mission trips on his mind! Pakistan, Kenya, Cuba, and the Philippines are burning in his heart. His belief and expectation is that he will be able to visit all four of these works in 2026.

We don't want to miss sharing that we had a wonderful Christmas too. Good memories here back in Virginia. It was so wonderful reconnecting with so many good friends. Thank you to everyone who invited us to their homes, stopped by our home and visited or took us out to eat. We felt so welcomed by such dear friends. The love was overwhelming at times. And as a side note, Christy has finished two of her required teaching certification tests and plan on taking the others soon.

For loving Jesus and partnering together for those who BVM supports, we
