Look at King Solomon’s “thank you” offering to the Lord: “King Solomon’s contribution for this purpose was 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep”! 2 Chron. 7:5 TLB Yes, the king’s thank you offering was well over 1,000 times greater than his first “seed offering” to God! And while all this giving was going on, the priests were standing at their posts of duty while the Levites were playing their thanksgiving song, “HIS LOVINGKINDNESS IS FOREVER”! So, can we have glorious days and supernatural events like Solomon had? Yes — a thousand times, YES! We all face impossible problems, needs, perhaps mountains of debt. But, please remember: SOLOMON DID NOT GO INTO DEBT TO BUILD THE TEMPLE — HE GAVE GOD A SIGNIFICANT SEED FIRST! Here it is: God took that seed and multiplied it so that Solomon had everything he needed to build, just as he needed it, so that this great and most glorious house of God was finished — hear it and shout — DEBT FREE! Hallelujah! Praise the Lord a thousand times! Dear partners, as you bring your offerings and continued on next page… W OW! As I read the rest of King Solomon’s story, I search for words to try to express God’s glory now filling my heart; but there are no words or human language to describe our glorious God! I feel like following the people of Israel who witnessed this awesome moment — “All the people had been watching and now they fell down flat on the pavement, and worshipped and thanked the Lord”! 2 Chron. 7:3 TLB Oh my God — what a day, what a sight! The story also tells how the priests of God could not even enter the new Temple because God’s glory had filled it and utterly consumed it! So, what had happened? What would bring such glory down to His people? Ah, read it carefully: The fire was God’s approval and acceptance of the people’s offerings and sacrifice! We read of Solomon’s gift of 1,000 burnt offerings, as he began the giant task of building God’s Temple — God’s home on earth. That gift was, no doubt, the seed that grew and brought this great Temple into being and finally to this glorious day of dedication. Oh, may we learn a most important lesson from King Solomon: When facing his greatest need, he gave to God his greatest offering! Yes, God did provide everything Solomon needed and now on dedication day, what did Solomon and the people do? “Then the king and all the people dedicated AN OFFERING BY FIRE! “AS SOLOMON FINISHED PRAYING, FIRE FLASHED DOWN FROM HEAVEN AND BURNED UP [THE OFFERING AND] THE SACRIFICES!

pledges to God this coming Praise-a-Thon, do two important things: NAME YOUR SEED, i.e, “out of debt,” “new job,” “debt free home,” “better car,” and on and on — you name it. Then, wrap your seed with expectant faith. Remember dear Oral Roberts who taught us to “EXPECT A MIRACLE”? How we loved dear Brother Roberts and miss him greatly since he went home to be with Jesus a year ago. But, his revelation of seed faith giving has blessed and prospered the whole body of Christ! Glory! What a legacy he has left us. Now, I say in Jesus’ name — LET’S USE IT! Jan and I will join you as we give our regular February gift — and then make or renew a significant pledge on the enclosed pledge slip. Many of you do not have the amount of your pledge — but take that step of faith. Malachi heard the voice of God who said: “I will open up the windows of heaven for you and

pour out a blessing so great you won’t have room enough to take it in! Try it! Let me prove it to you!” Mal. 3:10 TLB

continued from cover…

So, did it work the second time for Solomon? Oh, yes — but first: “One night the Lord appeared to Solomon and told

him, ‘I have heard your prayer and have chosen this Temple as the place where I want you to sacrifice to me.’” 2 Chron. 7:12 TLB

Oh, but here in addition is the awesome promise God makes to Solomon: “I will listen wide awake to every prayer made in this

place. For I have chosen this Temple…to be my home forever; my eyes and my heart shall always be here.” 2 Chron. 7:15-16

God virtually gave Solomon a blank check so that anything he needed was his — just come to this place where God’s eyes and heart were perpetually open! The rest of this story is glorious. Solomon built to his heart’s desire from Jerusalem all the way up to Lebanon. The kings of the known world brought him billions of gold in tribute. The Queen of Sheba came with camels loaded with spices, gold and jewelry. Egypt brought gold, silver, clothing, spices, horses, and mules! Finally, there is hardly any more to say, so the Bible simply concludes: “So King Solomon was richer and wiser than any other king in all the earth” (2 Chron. 9:22 TLB). And all of this grand and glorious story started with a seed faith gift to God! As I write this letter to you, I just received this thought: What will be said or recorded of my stewardship of my journey through this life when I stand before my KING? A very sobering thought, don’t you agree? I hope it moves you as it does me. Let’s all make a significant gift or pledge while we can! TBN is your Voice and its 77 satellite footprints are on the air now covering the world; but remember Jesus’ own words: “The night cometh, when no man can work” (John 9:4). We’ll sing and shout His glory together February 27 – March 6. Let’s keep this great Voice to the whole wide world — YOUR TBN — on the air till Jesus comes! Jan and I love you more and more — now nearly 38 years strong!

A limited quantity of love gifts is ordered each month. If we run out of the gift, a substitute will be sent in its place. The love gifts offered are not for sale. Please do not ask for more than one love gift. Please allow 6 to 8 weeks for delivery. NO PHONE ORDERS, PLEASE. Keep the lines open for Salvation, Prayer and Pledge Calls ONLY. God bless you!

Your gift or pledge may not bring down actual fire from heaven as King Solomon’s did, but God’s own word guarantees that if you “GIVE, YOU WILL RECEIVE” (Luke 6:38 NLT)! Jesus also makes it clear that for anything we have given up for His Kingdom: “houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands” we will receive 100 times over in this life and in the world to come “eternal life”! Dear partner, whatever your need, as dear Oral Roberts taught us, “PLANT A SEED!” Do it now. Make your Praise-a-Thon pledge or gift and prove the faithfulness of God. Do what God Himself did when He needed a family: He planted heaven’s best seed—Jesus, His own Son! So, what did God receive? Millions of sons and daughters—and you and I are one of them! Jan and I will join you and will be looking for your seed! We love you!

“The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe” (Prov. 18:10). A treasure you will keep and pass on to your children and grandchildren! On a miniature scroll, the Old Testament names of God, actually the Hebrew names for LORD or YHVH, (pronounced in English, “JEHOVAH”) are beautifully embroidered on a soft, satin background. How we love them all, like: “JEHOVAH SHLOMI – The LORD my Peace.” Most of us know the word “SHALOM,” which simply means “peace.” The ‘i’ at the end means, “The LORD my Peace” in Hebrew. So, a few more examples would be: “JEHOVAH ROPHI – The LORD my Healer.” Do I ever love that name! So, on and on — your awesome scroll contains “JEHOVAH ROI – The LORD my Shepherd” and “JEHOVAH YIREI – The LORD my Provider! Read them all and rejoice! Father God has revealed seven of His major Old Testament names to bless and keep us! Your pledge indicated above will bring this glorious scroll to you with our love. Hang it on your wall as a witness!

The Holy Land Experience was the site for a powerful night of music and ministry with Jan, HLE cast members Les Cheveldayoff, Phil Yeast and pastor and Grammy winning gospel recording artist, Donnie McClurkin.

A new CD with a fresh new sound—yes, Vern brings us some new songs with a contemporary flair as well as a few favorite classics! The great theme song, Here I Am Lord, comes from Isaiah 6 as the prophet actually sees the Lord who asks, “Who will go for us?” The answer is powerful with—“HERE I AM LORD.” New songs for Vern include: Loving God, Loving Each Other—this one brings a tear; but Yes, I Know brings a shout! Satisfied takes you back to the day you, too, were saved! Another new song for Vern, Put Your Hand in the Hand, will wake you up!

HERE I AM LORD — Vern Jackson CD

OUR LOVE GIFT TO YOU FOR FEBRUARY…

FOR ANY PLEDGE:

This fragrant virgin olive oil has been blessed by the Bishop of the historic Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. The formula for this oil is found in the Bible. Myrrh, spikenard, aloes, and cassia are blended to create the fragrance of heaven! Some of our ladies here at TBN feel it is more than holy anointing oil—it is literally a unique perfume! The glass bottle displays the Star of Bethlehem just like the one in the grotto of the church which marks the historic place of Jesus’ birth. Your call and pledge for YOUR TBN will bring a tiny bit of the Holy Land to you, as always, with our love. Jan and I will join you with our best gift to send this Gospel to the nations!
