		<title>New Teaching from John Paul</title>
		<pubDate>Mon, 8 Dec 2008 11:09:53 PST</pubDate>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is <em>True Spirituality</em>? Is there such a thing as <em>Dark Spirituality</em>? How can you distinguish what's good from what's God? How can the philosophies of Oprah and Eckhart Tolle -- among others --seem good and "spiritual" on the surface, but in fact, lead us away from the One, True, Pure, Spirit of God. In this two-disc teaching, John Paul examines how the "Spiritual Gurus" of the day are satisfying the spiritual hunger in people with what he calls "dark spirituality."In a world where spiritual hunger is increasing, why isn't the church growing? John Paul addresses this and many more issues of the day in this timely lesson on discernment, available for purchase or download December 23.</p>]]></content:encoded>

		<title>Prophetic Bulletin from John Paul</title>
		<pubDate>Fri, 19 Sep 2008 08:40:37 PST</pubDate>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[I originally wrote this Prophetic Bulletin for the Streams Ministries Partners at the beginning of August. At the urging of my Board, I am now making it a public Prophetic Bulletin. When I first wrote it, little did I know the events that were soon to happen concerning Todd Bentley, the Gulf Hurricanes, Russia’s invasion of Georgia, the trains that would collide near Los Angeles, Sarah Palin’s nomination and the stir that would cause, or September 15’s Stock Market plunge. All of these are early elements of what the Lord called “The Coming Perfect Storm.”

		<title>Declarative Prayer by John Paul</title>
		<pubDate>Sun, 3 Feb 2008 08:55:40 PST</pubDate>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[I pray declarative prayers often. They get me out of my self-pity, anxiety, confusion and self-doubt. They change my mindset and reorient my thinking.

During this holiday season, we are encouraged to be thankful. I would like to submit to you a list of things I pray, so that perhaps you can be thankful for the same things. Maybe you already have all of these things firmly planted in your heart, but most of us need to be reminded of who we actually are in Christ and the ramifications of what He has done for us.

When life seems dark and you feel hopeless, the following are true even then, because God never changes, and He will not forsake you.

During this season, pray this prayer over yourself every day, and see what God does within and around you. You may just have even more to be thankful for by the turn of the year.

My Father in Heaven:
        <UL><LI> I will bear Your light to change the world.
       <LI>I am the light of the world, because the Light of the World dwells in me.
       <LI>Your Kingdom will come; Your will will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
      <LI> No one will meet me and not be changed, because no one can meet You and not be changed.
     <LI>I will become increasingly aware of the Light that I carry.
     <LI>  I will grow in You and grow in this Light.
     <LI>  I will become a change agent in this world.
      <LI>I will believe the unbelievable; what is not yet I will become.
     <LI> I will come to understand where I am in You, and I see my future more clearly than ever before.
     <LI> The gifts You have given me will begin to flourish as I understand Your ways.
      <LI> Nothing will prosper that comes against me, because I will live a repentant life before You; because I live a repentant life, You will answer my prayer.
   <LI> I will become what You have called me to become.
      <LI> I have been placed here for such a time as this.
     <LI> I live where I live because You placed me here.
        <LI>I am not here by accident; I am here by divine appointment.
    <LI> My neighbors will prosper because of You in me.
         <LI>Those I touch will prosper because of You in me.
     <LI> Everyone I pray for will be touched, because You flow through me; it makes no difference if others recognize the touch or not – You will touch them.
        <LI>You will touch others more some times than at other times; I will not judge my relationship with You based on what they feel.
        <LI> I relate to You because of who You are in me, not because of others, not because of my emotions, not because I feel saved, not because I’ve ascended to greatness through my intellect – but because of what You have done in me.
        <LI> I am re-procreated, regenerated and born anew.
        <LI> Your seed has entered me.
         <LI>My spirit is alive and quickened.
       <LI> I will become quickened to You, fine-tuned to Your Spirit, not doing what You’re not doing and doing what You are doing.
       <LI> I will become a witness for You.
      <LI>  With Your help, when people see me, they will see You.
         <LI>Soon, there will be a clear distinction between those who don’t know God and me, because I know You.
         <LI>People will see me and they will know that I am a follower of Jesus and a bearer of His light.
        <LI> For Your glory this will happen, taking the foolish things to confound the wise.
         <LI>Thank You for finding me and choosing me to be a change agent on this earth for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, amen.</UL>
Will you please pray about a year-end donation to this ministry? We are changing lives – perhaps we have been an aid in changing yours. You can make a difference in the world.

A short while ago, I had a public dialogue with two witches in Salem, Mass. One was an internationally known witch from TV and reality programs, and the other was one of the heads of several covens in the Boston area. It was a powerful night, bringing tears for both Christians and witches. The presence of God was so strong and His love so thick.

The internationally known witch was so moved by the dialogue. She told me that though she was raised in the Catholic Church, she had never encountered God like she did that night.

Will you help me reach her and others like her? Will you pray and obey what God might say about helping me bring His power to those who sit in darkness? As Jesus said, “You are the light of the world.”
Let’s believe it!

Blessings,

John Paul Jackson
Founder, Streams Ministries International]]></content:encoded>
