Bishop Coulter: It is time to BE PROACTIVE!
**Bishop Bob Coulter with another TMCI word of encouragement for the week.**
Isa 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. (NKJV)
The Coronavirus is still with us and the fear and panic are rising. I believe this could be the church’s greatest hour, if we do not fall into fear and join the panic. Remember Rom 8:15-17 Tells fear is not our inheritance.
In the verse in Isaiah I just read, God tells us not to be dismayed for God will strengthen you and help you. He will uphold you. This virus not a surprise to God. In Heb 13:5 God assures us “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Now is the time for us to walk out Prov 3:5, Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.
We, the church, must bring hope and life to our Sphere of Influence. First, I would suggest that you start by protecting your home and family by praying the blood of Jesus over your house and family. Repent of anything that is not godly in your home and lives. I would suggest you anoint your doors and windows with oil and pray the blood of Christ over the entire house.
Ex 12:13, which is our example, says: The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.
We are in a spiritual war against the Coronavirus, and the spirit behind it creating fear and the panic. The church must not be absent for this war. We, the church, are the only ones who have the authority and power, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to bring the battle to the enemy and win.
We must be proactive by interceding in the situation. We must pray life into our sphere of influence, our country and the world.
I know the U.S. Government has requested no gatherings of more than 10. While that limits many physical meetings, God has given us a tool that we can still bring the Gospel of Peace and Hope to many. It is called the internet. There many ways to connect and “forsake not the assembling” of ourselves together. Through cell phones, computers, tablets we can utilize FREE resources to meet and broadcast: Facebook live, Zoom, Free Conference Call to name a few. We will have some of these resources listed on the web later this week You can do live video, or just audio. On the worldwide web we have an opportunity to actually reach people that might never darken the door.
If you are a church or have a regular Bible study or meetings in your home, I encourage you to use the internet to broadcast your message to your members to encourage them. Many churches already broadcast on Facebook. If you not broadcasting, I encourage you to make it happen.
Start a Bible study online and hold prayer meetings online. In April TMCI will start holding Internet connecting conferences on the first and third Monday night of each month. On the Second Monday we will be having a prayer meeting for the nation. The fourth Monday we have World Prayer when we pray for our missionaries and the countries they serve. We encourage you to join us.
Lastly, let us remember this: Prov 18:21 also tells we can speak death into the situation. Let us speak death to rumors and misinformation that cause panic and let us speak DEATH to the virus and kill it.
Speak forth and bring life to those around us and speak death to the Coronavirus. Use the authority and power you have in Christ’s name, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to call the Coronavirus null and void. Mark 11:23 gives us that authority: For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
Let us let God use us to be part of the solution and the use us to bring revival in the land. This is our opening to make this the finest and greatest hour for THE Church.
Be Blessed,
Bishop Bob

Encouragement from Bishop Coulter: No Fear, Press on in the Mission
Audio Message from Bishop Coulter:
TEXT VERSION
Rom 10:15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!” (NKJV)
The Coronavirus is the major topic in everyone’s conversation. It has gone from a concern to full blown panic. Rumors are spreading and people are in a panic mode. One of the tricks of satan is to make a situation look larger than it is. But we must not let him distract us from our mission to deliver the word of God to a dying world.
Remember fear is not in your inheritance, as Rom 8:15-17 tells us: For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God
In Heb 13:5 we are told God will not forsake us! And, part of our inheritance is found in 2 Tim 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Prov 18:21 tells us that the tongue can bring death or life; We must start speaking life into the situation. It is time for us to boldly declare God’s truth to a secular world that is looking for hope. People are open to hearing hope where there seems no hope. They are open to the Gospel of Peace.
As Christians let us not get caught up in the panic of the Coronavirus scare. Let us bring the Gospel of Peace to those who need salvation and peace of mind. In Christ we have the peace that passes all understanding. So, share the hope of the Gospel with those around you. Speak life into your sphere of influence. Let them know that God wants the best for them in their lives.
And KNOW this, remember this: Prov 18:21 also tells we can speak death into the situation. Let us speak death to rumors and misinformation that causes panic and let us speak DEATH to the virus and kill it. Speak forth and bring life to those around us and speak death to the Coronavirus. Use the Authority and power you have in Christ’s name, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to call the Coronavirus null and void. Mark 11:23 gives us that authority: For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
Next is a prayer to defeat the corona virus. I encourage you to pray this prayer in agreement with us and/or pray your own prayer against the destruction of this virus, as the Holy Spirit leads you.
PRAYER OF AGREEMENT TO DEFEAT THE CORONA VIRUS
Heavenly Father, In the Name of Jesus Yeshua, we agree the virus named Corona needs to be confined and to die. We decree no weapon formed against the gospel will prosper. We lift up our eyes to the hills from where our help comes from as we trust in You. We declare this virus is under our feet and in the mighty name of Jesus Yeshua it is defeated.
We speak a fresh anointing for the gospel in China for supernatural healing of those infected in China and other places by this virus, that as believers pray for the sick the power of God will be seen to the glory of Christ. We declare the root of this virus is cut off now in Jesus’ name and we cancel all and any assignments against TMCI and every believer advancing the gospel.
We address this sickness and all afflicting powers. Your power to use this virus is broken. We release healing and restoration to overtake this virus and it will cease to exist in Jesus name.
Remember nothing is impossible with God. So, let us go forth boldly to bring peace and take territory back from satan.

February Report and Prayer Requests, Ufa Bible Ministries, Russia
ESL SCHOOL
February was a real challenge for the students in our school. Two weeks out of four was a quarantine (sick days school closings) because of the flu outbreak in Ufa. Then we had 24th as a day off because February 23rd is Men’s Day in Russia – federal holiday. We’ve had only 9 school days out of 29! Now there are three weeks of studies in March and then another week for Spring Break at the end of March! During those seek days in February we had many prayers raised for the health concerns for our students.
At the same time, we enjoyed doing a little “extra” for our students other than just classes to express Christ’s love to them (and sometimes to their parents) to show them the Saviour. This involved going to theatre, baking rye February was a real challenge for the students in our school. Two weeks out of four was a quarantine (sick days school closings) because of the flu outbreak in Ufa. Then we had 24th as a day off because February 23rd is Men’s Day in Russia – federal holiday.

ZIMBABWE
The Lord has provided by His mighty hand. We’ve raised the needed amount for our trip in May. We are at the planning stage now to carefully tailor our time and activities in Zimbabwe. Pray for wisdom in planning and that latest coronaviruse outbreak would not hinder gospel efforts.
PRAYER
Please pray for Liliya’s father Rasheed. He was diagnosed with atherosclerosis of aorta and encephalopathies of brains. He has hard time to stay clear in his mind. We are in constant prayer for the clarity of mind enough for him to hear and understand the gospel.
We love you and so thankful for your fellowship in our labours together with Christ. Saying thank you seems hardly enough for your prayers and sacrifice!

Latest Report from the Szymanski Family in Mexico
Dear Friends,
We have been having such a good time ministering the past 2 months. Hundreds of people have given their lives to the Lord. The radio ministry has produced so much good fruit.
Sunday nights we have a discipleship group in our home. It is packed, we have 30 chairs and people still need to bring chairs each week. Each week more people come as they hear about the Lord’s presence in the meetings. The meetings are like the renewal meetings we all enjoyed years ago. There is allot of physical and emotional healing taking place. More Lord!
We have been doing weekend conferences and ministering in local churches. Tomorrow we are going to the island of women to do a conference. We are expecting great things to happen there.
Our son Daniel is interested in doing a DTS with YWAM when he finishes high school in July. We have entered into relationships at our local YWAM base in Cancun. So far Daniel is enjoying YWAM. A YWAM DTS cost about $8,000. I know we need help raising the support for Daniel to go. This is a time for Daniel to get out on his own and serve the Lord in missions without his mom and dad. We are asking friends and family to please help Danny raise the funds to go on his DTS this summer. If you have the means or desire to help Danny I have added bank info below.
