FGBMFI – Chile - A beautiful nation
by Richard Shakarian

When God made the magnificent Andes mountains, He must have smiled!

Eight nations gathered for the Chile National Convention. They came from Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Peru, Panama, Nicaragua, Chile and USA.

After flying all night, and even before we went to the hotel, Alenjandro took us to two very important government leaders to share our testimony.

A Miracle for a business man

A blessing for Alejandro

Explosion of Glory at the European FGBMFI conference with many nations.

“The fire is spreading”

Report by Patrick Duggan

What an amazing time in the Lord in one of the most beautiful cities of the world. Our walk of faith is marked by mountain top experiences, the high places that change and transform our lives; but in this case the power and love of the Lord poured into the valley between the Alps and fell on the men and women of many nations.

The infective dedication of the workers of “The Harvest" was personified and encouraged by God's appointed President, Richard Shakarian. He shared several messages that were absolutely necessary for the leadership of the FGBMFI, which need to be expanded upon in the nations and the Chapters.

What an awesome and humbling experience to see nations of the world loving and blessing each other, and praying with a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

Thank you Franz Kren and the Austrian team.

SPASTIC GIRL COMPLETLEY HEALED!

It was August 19 97 on our first fire team in Budapest Hungary . There had been many miracles all week. The government had given us a great park and we had put out 100,000 newspapers. These special newspapers told of the healing and miracle power of Christ on every page.

It seemed that every night there were several blind people that received their sight.

We noticed a group of young ladies walking in the park. One of them could not actually walk, she had a terrible curvature of the spine. She was all bent over and she was spastic. She made forward progress and then it seemed like she would go back and then make a little more progress.

We forgot all about this young lady until

SUDDENLY!

Yes suddenly she stood before me completely healed!

She looked into my eyes as if to ask “What happened to me.”

For the first time in her life, she walked normally and was able to run.

This 23 year old girl along with her friends wept and wept in astonishment. Later our team had the privilege to lead her to Christ.

Yes, God can do all things through you --- If you believe---If you act.

FGBMFI Prophecy- Africa- Asia- Armenia
Richard Shakarian

A word from Kim Clement

God said, “I have hovered and looked for men who would be Kingdom thinkers. I have listened to the garbage of many within religious circles discussing small things. I am searching the earth for men who will not be accustomed to small things – men and women that shall shake nations. This is what I look for. I am searching for a place to rest My feet. Great favor has been granted at this time”. Something shall advance, “says the Spirit of God, “from the United States . And I will take them, and I will make them to be one sound and one voice, a very unusual revival, a very unusual breakthrough shall take place”, says the Lord

Bruno Berthon

Our stay in Kinshasa has been most fruitful, in a calm and busy city. We had fire teams during the week who met and prayed with a total of about 11,000 persons, which is a very good result for a first outreach of this kind. The Rally at the stadium gathered some 15-20,000 persons and was aired by television all through the DRC. There were testimonies about the sins of the nation, of the church, of the politicians, of the lay people, and a good time of repentance. There were testimonies about forgiveness and Humberto shared about the situation in Nicaragua , and how the changes of the hearts through Jesus make a change in the nation. Azarias Ruberwa, one of the Vice Presidents, a strong Christian, participated to the prayer Rally and invited us in his home after the meeting as he wanted to know more about Nicaragua .

Bunmi Adedeji

Greetings in the blessed name. I have just returned from Indonesia . 12 of us came from Nigeria to attend the national Convention and to follow up on the progress of the air lift. The Lord has been very faithful to us. The fellowship is getting stronger. Another team will leave from Burundi on the invitation of the political President. They will stop over in Kenya and Uganda . They will leave Nigeria on October 15. We are rising a team that will got to India and take care of Liberia and Sierra Leone . Our team in Indonesia returned through Singapore where we re-opened some of the former Chapters. Benin Republic had a wonderful Convention last month. They produced and edition of “Voix” in French. This is a worthy Landmark. Nigeria assisted in the production. We have supplied literature to Ghana . Our national Convention is on November 1-4, 20006. Please pray for us. We are making progress in South Africa .

Armenia- Dough Raine

A great hospitality was extended to our Airlift Team, which included: Douglas Raine – Team Leader, USA , John Schmook – USA , Edgar Gonzales – USA

Brad Stine – USA , Jesse Cradduck – USA , Nils Pettersen – Norway .

We are happy to report that found Armenian people can be very warm and friendly and that several thousand people received the Lord. Many of our meetings were held in a tent named after FGBMFI founder Demos Shakarian. This was in cooperation with this CAI Team including: Kevin and Leslie McNulty, USA ,

Armen and Melanisa Gasparyan , Armenia , Akop Mkrtumyan, Moscow .

What a joy to establish FGBMFI Chapters in the very nation that the Shakaian family came from by prophecy.

A powerful report from Bruce Wick:

We just opened a new Chapter and now have 44 members. We have an FGBMFI presentation in Malaga next Saturday and I expect that we should at least reach 50 member mark. I'm in the process of planting 3 new Chapters here on the Costa del Sol, a chapter in Madrid and another chapter on the Costa Blanca. I believe that the Lord is telling me that we will have 500 chapters in Spain within the next 2 years. In January we are going to have a 3-day outreach in football stadium in Malaga and hopefully other outreaches in the stadiums down the coast.

FGBMFI- CENTRAL AMERICA PRESIDENTS' MEETING
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

Two weeks ago, we completed a wonderful meeting of the FGBMFI Presidents of all the Central American nations in El Salvador .

This 2-day meeting was an incredible success. Time was given for each of 7 or 8 major topics of Presidential interest. There was plenty of time for each of the Presidents to openly discuss their point of view on each subject and for the group of Central America Presidents and the International President to reach a common consensus.

AFTER HEARING THE REPORTS, WE WERE ALL THRILLED TO REALIZE THAT FGBMFI IS MOVING FORWARD AND MAKING GREAT ADVANCES IN EVERY CENTRAL AMERICAN NATION.

FGBMFI CONGO - ARMENIA
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

REGARDING THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO

My Dear Brother Faustin Sumbela, and my Dear Brothers Bruno Berthon, Marcel Malenso, David Masamuna, Humberto Arguello and Team,

It is the end of the day Monday, and incredibly we still do not have our Visas for DRC.

I AM SO DISAPPOINTED.

We were told our Visas were only supposed to take 2-3 days. This would be accomplished by an expediting company, which obtains Visas and Passports.

Immediately last Monday, upon returning from El Salvador , we gave them our Passports and should have had them back no later than Wednesday or Thursday of last week.

However, a complication developed: after the Passports were in Washington D.C. , someone back there decided that my Passport was too full, to put in the Visa. Therefore, they sent it over to the US State Department Passport Service to add more pages. This apparently caused a disappointing delay of several days that none of us were expecting.

After checking both Visa and air flights late this afternoon, it does not seem possible for me to be with you.

I am deeply disappointed because of my love of the precious people of the Congo and my certainty in the healing power of Jesus.

Even though as it seems, I am prevented from coming by circumstances beyond my control, I still have faith that God is going to do a mighty work, through you men - for the people.

I have great faith in each one of you. God knows that you have all worked so hard to make this event the fabulous success that it still will be.

Perhaps, these circumstances are God's way to bring our entire Team up to a new level.-The New Anointing of Stadium Miracles. Yes, the Prophecies given to my Father, declare that these unusual miracles would happen at the word of ordinary men.

Will not the God of all heaven and earth do right? He knows how hard you have worked and He knows how hard I tried to be there with you. He will do what is right by pouring out His Healing Holy Spirit Power upon every person as they reach up their hand to Him in faith.

Do not let disappointment overtake your faith. Rather, let your faith and the anointing of the Holy Spirit overwhelm every force of darkness in that Nation.

Remember, when Israel left Egypt, God brought them out healed, they came out blessed, they came out free, they came out with a pillar of fire as their great protector.

Lead the people out of bondage. Lead them out of sickness. Lead them out of poverty. Lead them by the Spirit.

Remember, they came out of Egypt with silver and gold and not a feeble one among them! THIS IS GOD'S PLAN.

With or without me, the Holy Spirit is the One that brings the healing and the miracles. During the service, be sure to give room for the Holy Spirit to do His Mighty Work.

NEVER forget: the Holy Spirit is there in that Stadium in Power.

All the Power of the Holy Spirit will be focused to deliver the people.

HE IS THERE,

HE IS ALL POWERFUL,

HE IS ETERNAL ,

HE IS ALL-KNOWING,

HE MUST BE IN CHARGE OF THE MEETING.

Don't forget that both God and I, have full faith and confidence in you men to bring a miracle to the DRC, and to change the spiritual climate of Kinshasa .

With deep Love and Respect, Your friend,

Richard Shakarian , International President

During this time, of uncertainty regarding our travel arrangements, we have been constantly praying, that our steps would be ordered of the Lord. All over the world, people have been praying both for the meeting in Kinshasa and for God to lead and protect my steps. Since the Visa and travel problem was out of our control, we have to believe that somehow, God is having his way and in a few months, when we are able to go there, that our Lord, will MAGNIFY HIS HOLY SPIRIT AND MIGHTY POWER OVER THE DRC.

ARMENIA

We have a powerful team led by several USA Directors from Oklahoma and Texas , that are in Armenia right now. Pray for them. Pray for the Holy Spirit to move mightily and pray for their protection.

FGBMFI-GOOD NEWS
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

CONGO AFRICA

“The Healing of the Nation” is a major FGBMFI event to restore a weary, war-torn nation.

12 years ago, while visiting President Mobutu, I saw a great stadium called “The Stadium of Martyrs”. It was named after the field it sits on, which is

“The Field of Martyrs”. This is the place where many people were unjustly murdered by different political and religious groups.

Upon seeing the stadium, The Holy Spirit instantly put in my heart that some day, FGBMFI should conduct a “Healing of the Nation” outreach in that place. It was 12 years before I even knew the name of the Stadium or the significance of that field.

Now I understand why God is sending us back to that particular field. It is going to be the healing and a closing of a stain of sin upon the nation. Yes, it took 12 difficult years before our men felt the time was right.

Pray for “The Healing of the Nation” September 25-30, 2006. Also pray for our safety and the health and safety of all our people.

We believe The Holy Spirit will bring a healing to the government, a healing of hurts among the people, a healing of families, a healing of finances and a deliverance from witch craft.

We believe in visible MIRACLES OF HEALING, and for thousands to come to Christ through our Fire Teams and our Stadium outreach.

You are welcome to come to Kinshasa and join us in this great outreach for a nation.

PRAISE REPORT FROM JIMMY HUGHES

At the World Convention this July, Jimmy believed in God for big things. He took a special step of faith during the offering. As he gave $1,000, he prayed “Lord I am planting the seed into a very good ground, and I am asking you to multiply it 100 times”.

Since then, the Praise Report is so exciting: One of the churches where Jimmy spoke bought him a brand new, full size, bright yellow Hummer costing about $100,000.

Then, an anonymous giver sent $100,000 into Jimmy's bank account.

He called me as he was leaving for a mission trip to Russia saying “Praise God Richard, look what God did!”

Remember the Bible says that God is no respecter of persons. What He does for one, He will do for any who have faith.

As we are preparing for this great outreach in Kinshasa , DRC, Congo , you may also exercise your giving and your faith, by planting your financial seed into the very good ground of FGBMFI International. Information how to give is on this e-mail.

REVIVAL IN PRISON

We have been sending Voice Magazines into the prisons and in addition, we have several prison ministry teams and chapters. We have just received a report that the men in prison are receiving the Voice Magazine's I have sent with open hearts. Many are coming to Christ.

_____________________________________________________

EUROPE

We received a wonderful call from John Walker Regional Vice President Europe. He was telling how much enjoyed the World Convention. When asked what stood out in his mind, he replied: “the tremendous anointing, especially on the message given by Richard “The Song of the Martyrs”.

John received a prophetic word for Europe that “the fire of my spirit will fall once again upon this fellowship and all who will seek my spirit”. He said: “Joshua and Caleb went into the Promise Land to spy out the land. However, unlike the others, they chose to ignore the negative and gave a positive report. They were rewarded by God. God caused them to live and go into the Promise Land ”.

NEW INTERNATIONAL DIRECTOR AT LARGE

Acting on the recommendation of John Walker, I have appointed Paul J.A. Emans as International Director at Large. This position represents the International President and will strengthen our management team in Europe. Paul is also National President of the Netherlands and he is well connected to government and other organizations.

FGBMFI – SAN DIEGO PRAISE REPORT!
Richard Shakarian

I thought you would be interested in this wonderful report sent from San Diego to Michael Galleher, USA Director.

To Brother Mike,

As a USA director and a member of USA President's Cabinet – FGBMFI, with a direct link with San Diego – South Bay Chapter #1881. We thank you so much for your direct support in all aspects of our Chapter, and especially the Godmobile Ministry.

A few years ago it was your desire to launch a Godmobile Ministry in the Southern California area. I have to say it has spread pretty fast in this area.

We just concluded our 4th Annual Godmobile Outreach Ministry at the San Diego County Fair, with 534 people taking the 2-question test, “Do you believe that you will be going to heaven when you die?” and “Why do you believe this?” resulting in 154 coming to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and being born again. Praise the Lord!!!

Over the four year period, at least 2,459 people have taken the test with 822 receiving Jesus as their personal Savior. We also had an overall total of 311 workers – co-laborers for the Kingdom of God . Thank you Jesus!

We are looking forward to the coming years of continued ministry or until the Lord comes.

Thank you again for your front-line help that has made this all possible. To God be the Glory! “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; he that winneth souls is wise.”

In His Service,

Bill Stinson, President

SDSB FGBMFI #1881

FGBMFI – JUST ONE OF MANY RECENT HEALINGS
Richard Shakarian

JUST ONE OF MANY RECENT HEALINGS

On the last night of our fire team, the volunteers gathered for a praise service. Oh, what a night!

There was a 9 year old girl whose family lived in the back country. When our team arrived at her home, she was bed ridden. She had never walked in her life.

After prayer with the family, our team prayed for the child. In a few minutes she was on her feet and feebly trying to walk.

Now later, on Saturday night, there she was with her family at the rally. Her mother had dressed her in a beautiful white and pink dress. They came up on the stage. This young girl was wobbly, and teetering, but miraculously walking.

She was taking exaggerated steps across the stage. It was just like when a baby takes its fist steps!

There was not a dry eye in the place!

Yes, God is no respecter of persons.

THE HEALING HE GAVE TO THIS CHILD – HE CAN GIVE TO YOU!

THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT HE BROGHT THROUGHT THE HANDS OF THESE SIMPLE VOLUNTEERS – HE CAN DO THROUGH YOU!

I wish you could have been with Humberto Arguello and myself to see all these precious people working day after day, in God's harvest field!

And believe me, it was HOT!

In our fire teams, we give 2 or 3 very anointed testimonies. Our style is to give the glory to God, by telling exactly what we were saved from. This type of testimony acts like a mirror. Suddenly the unsaved ones are seeing their own life through our testimony. We tell of the Jesus moment when he came in and gave us an absolutely changed life. Then we challenge those in the meeting to pray with us and invite Jesus Christ into their life.

Usually in a few minutes many of those who have stood for prayer are wiping the tears from their eyes. Afterwards, you hear the testimonies. One who had just received the Lord and whose face was glowing with the Holy Spirit said – I never knew that I could know God in this way!

Everyone is immediately invited to another chapter meeting – THAT WEEK!

If you feel like you are off the main track – either in your spiritual life or your chapter. Please contact me by email – I will give you council and I will pray with you.

_______________________________________________

This is your personal invitation

IF YOU ACCEPT, IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

You are invited to come with me…

On several special outreaches in the next few months, these include:

Uganda – Kanchasa, D.R.C. – Austria – Germany – Honduras – Mexico – Chile – and the United States

Yes, together we will see God moving mightily. And together we will help to bring in the Great Harvest!

And pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.  Malachi 3:10

USA

Brownsville Texas – Bob Clark Reports

The Fire Team event here in Brownsville turned out to be much greater than we possibly could have known at the time.

In the Year 2000 the fire team led by Richard Shakarian and Bob Clark, with food arrangements by Brenda Shakarian and organized by many FGBMFI men, women, and families from all over America was just the beginning of the blessing. At that time we prayed with 37,000 people to receive the Lord, and gave truck loads of food, enough to feed 20,000 families.

Since then the food has not stopped coming and we have led many thousands to Christ.

The other day we received 6 trailers with 30,000 blankets. After a major storm we were able to give 22,000 blankets to poor families.

We now have 3 warehouses containing food and supplies that major organizations keep sending us to give. When God put it on Richard's heart to target the poorest city in America we had no idea that it was just the beginning of wonderful things to come.

FGBMFI was obedient and the blessing has never stopped!

2 incredible testimonies of blessing

Today having coffee with some of our men, I was thrilled to receive the testimony of unending blessings as a result of their giving.

Each of these men had an impossible business situation.

Separately each pledged and gave $8,500 to FGBMFI.

As they gave they did so trusting God to turn their business situation around.

Both of their businesses have been so mightily blessed, that separately you will hear about them because their businesses will impact America and possibly the world.

They are still giving – still trusting – and still receiving.

And the blessings have not stopped coming!

POWERFUL NEW CHAPTER – GOING STRONG

A separate report from Brownsville Texas tells of a brand new chapter of 60 powerful young Spanish speaking business men who have begun a strong business chapter.

Other reports tell of a second chapter already organized and beginning in the same city.

HUNT COUNTY TEXAS , FAIR

We had an incredible week. The passion of our men for the lost was a blessing as 19 6 people prayed the sinner's prayer. Douglas Raine

FGBMFI – THE GREAT HARVEST
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

Nicaragua

July 31-August 5, Nicaragua has set it's sights on reaching a harvest of 1.2 million people for Jesus Christ during THIS WEEK! 

This will be in 2 giant Fire Team outreaches. 

D.R. Congo

September 24-29, we will be conducting a great Fire Team outreach in

D.R. Congo.  This outreach will climax with a final rally, with the

Head of State and the King of Kings,  on the Field of Martyrs –

in the Martyrs Stadium with a great event called

 “THE HEALING OF A NATION”.  

We are calling the entire FGBMFI Fellowship to prayer and fasting.  Nothing is done in the natural that is not first accomplished in the Spirit world.  By praying together around the world, God will push aside the dark forces and Heaven will rejoice with us in this great Harvest.

The International Directors and the worldwide body of the International Delegates voted the following motion at the 2006 World Convention:

In obedience to our Founder, Demos Shakarian,

We the delegates and Directors in official meeting, of the World Convention July 5, 2006, do herby affirm that there are no restrictions and no constraints in the winning of souls. 

We do embrace, as God's strategy to fulfill the Vision, the use of testimonies of laymen as the principal tool using different methods of outreach including Chapter meetings and Fire Teams, as well as other methods of outreach as the Spirit of God directs, in order to reach people for Jesus Christ.  This we see as our primary work.

We further affirm, as stated in our Articles, that we also recognize the existence and divine origin of all local Christian churches or assemblies, and that our Fellowship is not a substitute, nor is it a competitor with any church or denominational church group.

The news reminds to continue praying for Israel .  Let us also pray for the peace of the world and His blessing on all races of mankind whom He made and loves. 

Every year we have an International event and tour in Israel .  However, this year I felt checked because of the hidden ominous developments.  I thank God for His leading and perhaps the door will be open for us again in 2007. 

We are still getting wonderful, glowing, overflowing reports of blessings at the World Convention. 

If you have some great pictures from the World Convention, including the speakers, Ladies meetings, and other great shots, please email or mail them to the International Headquarters.  Specifically, we don't have good close-up shots of all who spoke in the Ladies meeting. 

Thank you, it will be very helpful.

FGBMFI – ISRAEL – GOD'S PROPHETIC TIME CLOCK

RICHARD SHAKARIAN

PRAY . . . PRAY . . . PRAY

Pray for Israel . . . Pray for the Christians in the Middle East

And Pray for the nations who do not know God.

God has called Israel into existence, and nothing will wipe her out. 

Pray that this present conflict will open the doors of the Middle East to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

IRAN . . . IRAN . . . IRAN

Syria and Iraq

For years God has called these nations in prophecy and told us that we would be used to bring Christ to the hungry hearted of these nations. 

Three years ago, when I first met Ariel Sharon, he talked for and hour and twenty minutes about the problems Israel faced.  Much of that time was spent telling about Iran 's involvement in damaging Israel . 

As we pray, I believe God can use this present conflict to help bring open doors in the Middle East .  The man in white (Jesus) has already appeared to many in dreams and even visions.  The supernatural always excels over the natural. 

2 MILLION SOULS IN THE NEXT 5 MONTHS!

5 MILLION SOULS IN THE NEXT 17 MONTHS!

THIS HARVEST CAN EASILY BE ACHIEVED BY THE  FIRED UP – SPIRIT FILLED – ANOINTED ARMY OF SOUL WINNERS OF FGBMFI.

Let us pray for 5 million souls to come to Christ in 17 months from August 2006 – through – December 2007. 

No, the devil doesn't like it at all - and he will try to change the subject.

AWESOME 2006 WORLD CONVENTION!

Typical comments include: 

IT WAS THE GREATEST EVER!

THE MOST ANOINTED CONVENTION I'VE ATTENDED

WOW! WHAT AN AWESOME HOTEL

EVERY ONE OF THE TEENAGERS RECEIVED THE BAPTISM OF THE

          HOLY SPIRIT AND SPOKE IN TONGUES.

A 16 YEAR OLD SAID, “I JUST LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CONVENTION AND ESPECIALLY THE YOUTH MEETINGS”. 

We are getting comments from all over the world that the people who attended are really pleased and incredibly blessed by this convention. 

For me, the spiritual high points every night were: 

The tremendous back to back anointed solos that just seemed to lift us to Heaven.  Sang by Sharon Haygood, Wayne Negrini, and Mary Ann Markarian among others, including the D.R. Congo group in French.   

And the anointed teaching for business people, preaching, and the personal prophetic word. 

WOW, WHAT A CONVENTION!  GOD IS GIVING NEW DIRECTION.

More later.

FGBMFI – THE JOY OF THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

The Lord abides in the praises of his people!

Remember the Lord's Prayer, Our Father which art in heaven, HALLOWED be thy name.

We are joining together in a World-Wide Day of Fasting and Prayer,

Tuesday, June 27, 2006.  Regardless of whether you fast all day or one meal or just spend extra time in prayer that day – around the world, around the clock, let FGBMFI give praise unto the Lord. 

FOR THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH.  Enter into His presence with singing and praise, for He is our Creator, our Sustainer, our Healer, the one who forgives and the one who supplies every daily blessing. 

We just returned from Tulsa , Oklahoma where I was privileged to be with Richard Roberts in the great ICBM meeting and to speak in the Business Seminar with

Bob Harrison and Michael Reid of England .

While there I spoke at FGBMFI Chapter meetings.  A big, rough looking black man who had spent years in prison sang the testimony of his life.  He sang of his sentencing, his prison experience, of the prison guard who said ‘you will be back'.  How he found the Lord and how he prayed with that very prison guard and brought him to Christ.  There was hardly a dry eye in the place.

That night we welcomed 7 new FGBMFI members.  They were welcomed by the Directors present:  Tom Leding, John Schmook, Dr. Joe Cannon, and Alan Schmook.

Later that night instead of speaking, I played the CD of my father telling the Vision and then told one story about Kathryn Kullman.  About t he dead-end road where she made her commitment.  The alter was full of people crying out, seeking God's perfect will for their lives. 

I want to thank Dave Leggett, Nathan and Brad for the wonderful offering they received for FGBMFI International.  Their gift to the Headquarters from the Chapter was $3,000.

NATIONAL REPORTS AND GIVING

This is the time of year when each nation submits an annual report including,

soul-winning activities, special events, Chapters, membership and future plans to the International.

It is also the time when many nations bring their annual tithes and offerings to the International and present them at the Convention. 

This year, we are asking every nation to bring 3 copies of their annual report to the World Convention.  You will be given the opportunity to speak to the nations and share the report of what God is doing in you nation.  The meeting of the nations is Friday afternoon.

DELEGATES, YOUR ATTENDANCE IF VERY IMPORTANT.

I am recommending that we vote against the By-law change that was sent to the Chapters.

The reason we are against it is because, it is exactly the type of By-laws that brought on so much strife and politics into the Fellowship in the past.  That is why our Founder, Demos Shakarian, moved away from that type of

By-law into our present form.

We are not saying that what we have is perfect and we will set up a special commission to look into the matter and to make recommendations that we can all embrace in unity.

FGBMFI – LOVE IS FOREVER
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

Love is the essence of life

It had been a gorgeous California day.  We were giving food to several thousand people in a park in one of the poorest areas of Los Angeles .  Above the Blue Pacific, the sun was beginning to set in the western sky.  One of our daughters, Brenda, had sponsored this event.

As the day closed, I walked all alone quite a distance from the others on the great grassy field.  I was lost in thought thinking of all those wonderful people we had been able to help that day.

The Rag Lady

Suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere, I was confronted by a little old rag lady.  She was dressed in used black clothing.  She looked dirty, smelly, and unkempt.

She looked into my eyes.  “Sir, is there any food left?”  I quickly looked to see, “I'm so sorry but the trucks have all left.”

Turning away, she was so disappointed.

“Wait.” I gave her some money.  Then I asked, “Has anyone prayed for you today?”

She looked up at me.  Her eyes had grown so big with wonder.

“No, sir.  No one has prayed for me!”

As streaks of red from the setting sun filled the sky, I put my arm around this little rag lady and prayed with her.  It seemed she immediately changed. 

Her eyes seemed to come to life.  Her face brightened.  It looked as if her face was shining.  She gave me a big smile. 

She was still a rag lady, but now she belonged to the family of God.  Now, she was somebody.  A lost daughter was restored. 

Yes, kindness and love never fails.

As I walked back, my thoughts were filled with God's love.  I remembered praying for important people.  I have prayed with Presidents, Dictators, Senators, and Generals.  But, I have never felt the love of Christ any stronger, than when I prayed for this long lost daughter of God,

The Rag Lady.

Behold, what manner of love

the Father hath bestowed upon us,

that we should be called the sons of God.

Saint John

My Prayer for you . . .

Dear Lord Jesus, Let us see through Your eyes of love.  Love that sees beyond sin, corruption, disease, and poverty.  Eyes of love that see not as we see.  Eyes of love that see as our Heavenly Father dreams for us.  Let us rise to the full potential of Your plan for good.

Lord, I thank You for the great commission of love. 

Let each one of us know Your love today.  Amen.

DEMOS SHAKARIAN –FOUNDER

If I know my place in God's plan, it is to inspire men. 

Several years ago Rev. A. C. Valdez, Jr. said to me, “Demos, you don't claim to be a speaker, yet when it is announced that you are going to be in a meeting men fly in or drive from all over the country to attend. 

How come?”

My answer was:  “Alfred, these men love Jesus.  They want to be inspired, and the best way to inspire men is to use them.  We all come together to hear from one another, yes, but the main idea is to put men to work, to get them personally involved by giving their testimony.  The Bible says, “They overcame him (Satan) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the work of their testimony” (Revelation 12:11).  When men witness for the Lord, they grow spiritually.”

Many of our men give liberally to God's work, and that is commendable.  But even though a man might give millions of dollars to the cause of Christ, unless his soul is fired up and he is blessed, he will not become more spiritual by the amount of money he contributes.  When we give we've really done no more than God expects of us.  He blesses us with all good things, and so we thank Him by our giving.  But more than that, He saved us for all eternity and He deserves the best from us. 

“Albert, that's why men come – because I let them speak and witness for the Lord.”  It hurts me to see men sitting in a meeting and not being used. 

When I first started the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship, it was very difficult to get men to talk.  Men who could sit in a board meeting and conduct a multi-million dollar business, couldn't speak before a crowd without freezing up.  Now it's almost impossible to get them to stop! 

When we began organizing chapters, the biggest problem was leadership.  Now, thank God, the picture has changed completely.  Not only do we have an excellent staff of executives in our headquarters office, with everything geared and coordinated for the tremendous world outreach in which we are now engaged, but we have thousands of men out in the field donating their time, money, and efforts toward this outreach—international directors, field representatives and chapter officers—all doing a marvelous job for the Lord, simply because they love Him and they love the souls of men. 

Some people tell us the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship has reached its limit, but I challenge that!  I've never limited God. 

When this all began, twenty-four years ago, I did not decide how big the Fellowship was going to become, or how long it was going to last.  I believe that right now we are doing just what God tells us to do. 

Our God is Big, and there is no limit to the work He gives us to do and the power with which He clothes us to do it.

FGBMFI – INDIA , CUBA , USA , CARRIBEAN , HUNGARY
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

Molnar Miklos – Hungary

We are so thankful to God.  10 nations joined in our combined meeting.  All of the nations shared plenty of testimonies of what God is doing in their nations. 

We had a special breakthrough with the Gypsies.  Richard, you remember when you were here how God used you with the Gypsies and the Gypsy mafia.  Now that breakthrough has grown greatly.  We were invited to speak at a Gypsy banquet. When I got up to speak to their banquet, I told them that the Lord had spoken to me that morning – kidney problem and lung problem.  Immediately one of the men came forward for his kidney healing, and he was followed by the one needing healing for his lung. 

Well that broke the meeting open and 80 to 100 Gypsies received the Lord as Savior.

ISAIAH 60:1-3

Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

A SPECIAL DAY OF FASTING AND PRAYER
A tremendous spiritual battle is on right now. 
We are in the great last day harvest spoken about by Jesus.  In the last few years, FGBMFI has prayed with more people to accept Christ than perhaps our entire previous history. 
The devil doesn't like it – but the devil is going to have a bad year. 
A SPECIAL WORLDWIDE FAST  - Tuesday, May 16.
God is calling us from all over the world to our World Convention. 
God has an anointing for this Fellowship that will set the captive free and raise the banner of Christ over every nation in this world. 

Let your friends and Chapters know. 
Ask all of the Christians to fast at least one meal on Tuesday. 

Jesus said – This kind goes out only with fasting and prayer.  He was talking about entrenched demons.

Dark forces are at work in this world.  They are preparing the world for the anti-christ.  They are working against the plan of God and His anointed. 

Our fast enables us to draw closer to the heart of God.  To more clearly hear His voice.  To more easily discern the Spirits.  To have the power to bring satans plan crashing down, just has David brought Goliath crashing down. 

Fast for greater power.  Fast and seek God that we will see great miracles beginning at this World Convention that were prophesied to my father before this Fellowship began. 

If your heart is thirsting after God, then drink of the water of the Holy Spirit during this fast day, Tuesday, May 16.

FGBMFI –GREEK GODS PREPARE FOR COMEBACK
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

Reprinted from News Max:
It has taken almost 2,000 years, but those who worship the 12 gods of ancient Greece have finally triumphed. An Athens court has ordered that the adulation of Zeus, Hera, Hermes, Athena and co is to be unbanned, paving the way for a comeback of pagans on Mount Olympus.
The followers adhering to a pre-Christian polytheistic culture are poised to take their battle to the temples of Greece.
But Greece's powerful Orthodox Church takes a less charitable view, accusing the worshippers of idolatry and "poisonous New Age practices". ________________________________________________

FGBMFI – TRAINING SERIES - SECRETS
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

Learning the secrets of the Holy Spirit. 

Following in my father's footsteps, I was the Layman Chairman of many crusades by famous evangelists.  During that time, many secrets of the Holy Spirit were learned. 

Dr. Morris Cerullo was preparing to speak.  Several hundred people had come together in Detroit for a miracle service.  We were sitting on the stage and Archie Dennis was singing healing songs one after another. 

As he sang, my back began to be very hot.  Since it was cold outside, I thought there must be a heater right behind the curtain.  Archie continued to sing healing songs and my back began to burn.  I moved my chair to get away from the source of the heat.  It only got hotter. 

Touching the drape behind me, it was ice cold.  Then I realized that the heat was the Holy Spirit.  Suddenly the music switched and Archie changed the type of song he was singing.  Immediately my back turned cold.  I asked the Lord what was going on.

Then I introduced the speaker, expecting that he would not preach, but immediately launch into miracles.  However instead, it seemed that he struggled for about 30 minutes and then the miracles came. 

That day the Lord taught me something that all the Bible teaching, schools and seminaries never teach.  I learned that the Holy Spirit has His own plan for every service.

We can learn that those who are participating must sense the flow of the Holy Spirit.  That they must conduct that meeting as the Holy Spirit wants and not according to their own desires. 

The Holy Spirit is a gentleman.  He makes his presence known so subtly that if we are not sensitive to Him, we will miss God's best. 

Sometimes in situations where men are in control instead of the Holy Spirit, He just flies away.
All of us need to remain very sensitive to the Spirit.  Trust the Holy Spirit and He will lead you into great blessings. 

There are many subtle ways of the Spirit.  He is so sensitive that His best plan for us - can be missed by us going down a good road, but not going where He is taking us.

My prayer for you is - God by His precious Holy Spirit will gently guide you into all good things.  That the fullness of the Holy Spirit fills your life completely.  That as you flow with God, your barns shall be full of souls. 
That your life will be greatly blessed.  That His peace and anointing shall flow upon your family, and you shall be healed.  

I remember the old song –
PEACE, PEACE WONDERFUL PEACE
COMING DOWN FROM THE FATHER ABOVE
SWEEP OVER MY SPIRIT FOR EVER I PRAY
IN FATHOMLESS BILLOWS OF LOVE

FGBMFI – AZUSA STREET CELEBRATION
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

Thousands of people came from all over the world to celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Azusa Street in Los Angeles.

As I stood on that plaza listening to the singing of the people - in my mind the decades seemed to roll back to the year 1906.

There on that hollowed ground, the Holy Spirit came again as a rushing mighty wind that filled the hungry people with incredible power and joy.  Shouts of joy rang down the street as people were healed and empowered. 

Looking back through time - it seemed, I could see a rickety old wagon approaching.  There was the clip-clop of the old horse called Jack.  There was my grandfather Isaac, just a young lad, and his father Demos driving their wagon toward the revival. 

It was only a year before that they had come from a far off troubled land.   The Prophetic Word had warned of a great massacre against the Christians.  This did happen in 1915.  Our family was in that small band of believers that had received that Prophetic Word and obeyed God's direction. 

The incredible plan of God brought my great-grandfather and my grandfather halfway around the world.  Then God put them within 1 mile and
1 year of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Azusa Street. 

As they heard the shouts of the people, they said – It sounds as if people are worshipping the Lord with the same freedom we did in the old country. 

A brief understanding of what happened next is important for our Fellowship.

The mighty Holy Spirit outpouring went into the churches.  New denominations were formed, including the Four Square and the Assemblies of God.  These folks experienced a mighty move of God in their churches.  However, at that time most of the churches that were filled with the Holy Spirit were across the tracks in the very poor areas of town. 

Years later when my father came on the scene he noticed that it was mostly women in the church and his heart yearned for the day when men as well as women would follow God. 

The FGBMFI was born out of that desire to reach those in the marketplace, to touch the high levels as well as the low.  As a result, Clifton's Cafeteria, the first Chapter, was started in the upscale financial district of Los Angeles very near the corporate headquarters of the Bank of America. 

When I stood there at Azusa Street and thought of the 1 million Armenians who had died as martyrs rather than give up their faith in Jesus Christ, I could not help but wonder why God had saved the Shakarians.

There in my spirit as I watched the century roll back - I realized what God had done with our family.

He used my father Demos to – Call men back to God.
He used the FGBMFI to bring the Holy Spirit from across the tracks to the financial center of the cities.
He used the Fellowship to bring the Holy Spirit to the main-line churches.
He used the Fellowship to bring the charismatic renewal to the Catholic Christians where about 100 million have received the fullness of the spirit. 

Then I saw the next wave -
In the last 10 or 12 years we have seen FGBMFI expand from
112 nations to 156 nations
Approximately 2,500 Chapters have been added in the last 6 years. 
FGBMFI now stands between 6,500 and 7,000 Chapters
Since the year 2000 - Our teams have prayed with millions of people –
to receive Christ
We have seen a new wave of salvation that could have hardly been imagined
God is Good – and His mercy and Goodness extends from generation to generation.

As I look into the future I see – THE GLORY OF GOD
There will be new ways, and new waves of the Spirit

The ministry in the marketplace will expand tremendously.
By the Spirit I see – thousands of Chapters in office buildings
Yes, even tens-of-thousands of office buildings with Chapters of believers in the marketplace, glorifying Christ through their testimonies. 
Yes, I see – the blood of Christ as our sacrificial lamb – His blood over the doorpost until one person in every family shall be saved. 
Until that one becomes God's seed to save the family. 
Until the families under Christ redeem their nation. 

WE ARE CALLED
To redeem the Nations to God –
Yes, FGBMFI will reach out for souls in every possible way. 

Now when I ask God why He spared our family -
I think of my great-grandfather – who by obedience saved our family.
I think of Isaac, my grandfather - who by favor established the family.
I think of Demos, my father – who brought the Holy Spirit to the main body of Christian churches – and called men back to God.
I look into the future and see that our destiny according to the prophetic word is to reach the nations for God.
This is our calling -
---To introduce millions to Jesus Christ
---To multiply the work of God in the marketplace
---To plant Chapters of excited believing Christians in cities, in towns, in offices, in    
    factories, and in schools
---To teach Presidents & Prime Ministers God's plan for a Nation
---To redeem nations by introducing the power of Christ to men everywhere
---To see the vision given to my father fulfilled – by seeing the chains of sin and   
    bondage falling from the hands of this generation
---To mentor this generation in the things of God
---To see this generation receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit with great joy

Together with the power of the Holy Spirit, God will lead us to the fulfillment of our calling.

FGBMFI – HIS BANNER OVER US IS LOVE
RICHARD SHAKARIAN

Love and Forgiveness is God's plan for us. 

Forgiveness brings Healing and Anointing.
Satan's plan is to stop us from receiving from God. 
Satan's way to distract from God's plan is to promote Jealousy and Bitterness.

The other day in Guatemala when 1,000 were healed in 15 minutes, the first step I had them do – was to forgive those who hurt them.  This act of forgiveness got rid of bitterness and jealousy, and that opened the way for the Holy Spirit to pour out His gifts, including Healing 1,000 people instantly. 

Satan's plan is to refocus our attention away from the blessings of God onto our personal hurts and bitterness. 

Bitterness – stops the flow of Anointing, it stops God's healing power, it has no regard for the prophetic. 
It is Satan's trap to hinder from achieving all of the wonderful things that God has for us.

Ken and Gloria Copeland have been teaching to - Walk in Love.  
The Fellowship proclaims – His Banner over us is Love.

Just take a moment with God.  Clear your spirit of any Anger, Resentment, and Hurt.  Ask God to forgive that person that might have hurt you.  Ask God to clear your spirit, and anoint you with the oil of His precious Holy Spirit. 

Now let's take a moment for prayer -
Dear Lord, I pray Healing, I pray Blessing, I pray Forgiveness, and I pray Direction right now.  I ask you to give a special blessing today.  Surround with your love.  Let your healing power flow through the people.  Let the Holy Spirit bring healing and deliverance NOW.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
