It is always fantastic to have Alan Frankin from Fleet in Hampshire minister to the saints in our area. He is an absolute mine of information from his time as a journalist, an owner of his own newspaper, a correspondent in the EU at Brussells, and as the co-founder, with his wife Pat, of the very informative website at www.thefreepressonline.co.uk.
He is one of the best "end times" speakers on the UK circuit, as well as travelling often to the USA and Israel to distribute his wealth of insight and knowledge. He is a very highly respected speaker, and has often appeared on Christian Television. This very Godly man spoke four times in our area last week, and as usual he was bang up to date with prophetic events in the world today, and particularly the middle east. His talks were quite rivetting, and the Q&A sessions which followed were of real interest and passion to those who attended.
Alan's first stop on his mini tour of our area was at the Swindon branch of the PWMI on Thursday, the 20th September, where he spoke on "CULTS AND ISMS - TRUE OR FALSE?" for over two hours! Alan's description of his talk was: "The powerpoint presentation focused on end times deceptions, false faiths and isms - to show how they are contradicted by the Bible". There was a good attendance at The Storehouse Fellowship, in Gorse Hill, Swindon, and the host Tony McLellan was very encouraged by the turn-out and of the general response from what is normally considered to be a very barren place in Wiltshire when it comes to hearing "end times teaching".
The following day, Alan and Pat crossed over the Severn Bridge into South Wales to speak at the Ebbw Vale branch of the PWMI on the Friday evening, when his theme was the same "CULTS AND ISMS - TRUE OR FALSE?" presentation but with a very different approach. The cults are dramatically on the rise in these latter days, he stated, and three of the biggest are the Catholic Church, The Mormons, and The Seventh Day Adventists. All cults have "to work for their salvation" and nearly all of them deny the deity of both the Lord Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit, as Satan continues to deceive many people (including shallow Christians) as he weaves his very nasty web of deceit and destruction down the road to perdition! Nearly fifty saints of the Lord gathered to hear this great powerpoint presentation, and although it went on for two hours, no one left early such was the intensity and integrity of the talk.
The following day, on Saturday the 22nd September, Alan spoke twice at the Newport branch of the PWMI at the YMCA, where he ministered firstly on "ARE YOU READY FOR THE RAPTURE?" Here Alan looked at the Biblical evidence for a pre-tribulational Rapture of the Church to Heavenly Glory, and backed up his case by examining types, prophecies, The Jewish Feasts, and much more to prove his argument quite conclusively. Being a pre-millennial organisation of the same belief, the PWMI supporters always welcome this approach, and Alan went on to show the weakness of the cases of the mid-trib, the post-trib, and the pan-trib positions, with many fallacies in their teachings and stances.
His second powerpoint presentation was titled "JERUSALEM, THE FUTURE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD", where he gave a fascinating overview of King David's City, its 3000 year history, and then he looked ahead to the time when the Lord Jesus Christ will return to earth to rule and reign from the new capital of our planet, namely JERUSALEM, and not New York, London, or Brussells!! The Rapture will take place before Christ's Return to earth, but when we return with Him as his Chosen Bride and His Church, The Body Of Christ, we will come with Him in victorious fashion to rule with Him from God's ancient chosen capital of the world in Jerusalem.
These powerful presentations were fully illustrated, and packed with information you will not hear in your local church. They are all available from Alan from his superb website at www.thefreepressonline.co.uk. It is vital that we get our end time message out to a society, both Christian and secular, who are asleep to what is happening around them in the world today, and how near the Rapture and The Second Coming Of Christ are.
Alan certainly did this, and he encouraged us all to be vigilant, ever studious of our Bibles, and to watch for the signs of the times leading up to the imminent Rapture of the Church. He left with our prayers and blessings, to catch a ferry that night to go to other NEWPORT, in the Isle of Wight to minister there. He is teaching in October during his preaching tour of the USA. Brian Gemmell is also teaching in a different part of America in October, so please remember these great servants of the Lord in your prayers and ask Him for protection, leading, guidance, anointing, and blessing of these lovely men of God..
Maranatha,
Neville.
