THE MIRACLE OF HEALING!

 Miss me? Where o where have I been for the last 8 months?


PASTOR RANCE HERE!!!

HI Friends---

Where have I been for the last 8 months? Its a long story but here goes---

About 8 months ago my sweet--wonderfully healthy wife Brandy came home one day and said---


I DON'T FEEL WELL!

After a couple of days of seemingly getting worse, I took her to a local Doctor. After examination he said, "well, I think you have some stomach ulcers---no more hot food (spicy) for you, here take these pills and you will be fine"---BUT SHE WASN'T!


Back for more extensive testing. This time they did all kinds of stuff and the answer we received was that Brandy had CANCER! Below the stomach. But wait--no one in her family that we know of had cancer except her father and he passed--not until his 80's.

Brandy is only mid 50's, has not smoked in over 30 years, is a prize winning (several gold metals) power lifter, head of a gymnasium and a power lifting team. Seldom sick, eating healthy and was never bothered by Covid!

???

When we heard this I immediately drove her to Ensenada for an appointment with a renound Doctor of 30 years experience who specializes in cancer patients. After another extensive battery of testing Brandy was scheduled within the same week for extensive surgery.

When it was complete the Doctor gave me very bad news---he had removed a large amount of cancerous material from various organs but had stopped the surgery because the cancer was spreading rapidly like the fingers if a splayed out hand---EVERY WHERE!!! The extensive incision went from under the breast to her navel. And he would not recommend either Chemo or Radiation and my sweet wife would live not much longer than 8 more months.

During this entire process we were praying diligently and now had some pretty awful news.

WHAT TO DO? WHERE TO GO?

WE PACKED AND LEFT--our home and pets in the care of a trusted friend.


In San Diego we discovered that Brandy did qualify for some insurance. By this time she was in severe pain and spent several days in two different hospitals. I might add here that there are many more details I am leaving out because its a very long story---!

After treatment in two leading hospitals, she was released to begin treatment at the leading cancer clinic in San Diego. This involved extensive Chemo and she was so sick I cannot begin to describe it to you--throwing up constantly, so weak she could barely sit up, traveling back and forth from our home in Mexico to the clinic stateside---losing a massive amount of weight, some hair loss (but not all) plus near complete loss of muscle--to the point that she could not herself remove a cap from a bottle. Her health was destroyed!

This went on for 3 extensive Chemo cycles which were nothing short of devastating. By the end of the third cycle, Brandy was another person altogether---sick, skinny and could hold NOTHING on her stomach. I honestly believed she was dying!!!

As for myself, I am in my 79th year and have never been sick other than several old Law Enforcement injures that required surgeries. I have been blessed in my health but being 24 years older than Brandy it seemed like I should be the one sick and not her. But the truth is I slept very little during this time and my diet was restaurants and more restaurants, without end. No work which is unusual for me but a ton of driving and caring for Brandy---which is why you are hearing from me today!

After the third extensive Chemo session Brandy decided NO MORE!!! She believed the Chemo itself was killing her!

During this time we were both doing lots and lots of reading and discovered that there are other far less well known but vastly effective medical cures for cancer. NONE OF WHICH---we had been told about!

We began to see a physician in Tijuana who specializes in cancer patients and who uses others forms of treatments---OTHER THAN CHEMO! And he and his wife are very serious Christians. To make a long story short, after one week of medical treatments by this Doctor and his staff--

BRANDY IS RECOVERING!!!

Still weak and tired but recovering. In fact today she was back to work at her gym and catching up on desk work.


Neither of us know how this will end---well I hope and of course she has a long way to go! But for now, she is obviously far far better.

I want to thank our home church in Coronado, California  plus all the saints there for their continued prayer and financial support. Also for our many many friends who have guarded our home and pets. Many other friends who have helped us financially and all of you who have PRAYED for us without end!!!


I Will keep you posted but for now I am a happy camper that my sweet wife is improving!

God bless you all,

Pastor Rance Cook

OUR TIME IS ALMOST UP!

 Dear friends,


This article is about end times prophecy but with heavy duty political overtones. If that bothers you don't read. But, if you are sincerely interested in what may well lay ahead for all of us---I encourage you to at least consider my opinion.

About one year before Donald Trump was elected president, I was praying and specifically asked if trump would be elected? The answer I received Deep down in my spirit--Was Yes, he would be elected President of the United States. I shared that with a personal friend who I am very close to-- who promptly told me I was crazy. So, we put a dinner be on it---and I won that bet.

No one is infallible when it to comes to praying, including myself. I do know that there have been many times I've heard specifically from the Lord. And the proof of that, is the success of the organisation the Lord used me to begin and that I eventually retired from. Still During those years, there were times that I was in a hurry while praying, and learned the hard way it is possible to be listening to your own well-intentioned voice and believe deep  down inside you that the Lord has spoken. That did not happen many times but it did happen and that is why I take my time before I make major decisions. Because I have learned that if I do it the Lords way it will be successful, if I do it my way it may work but never ever the way He intended.

I make this clarification to you, Because after Trump's first term in office I asked the Lord once again if Donald Trump would be re-elected to office. I was taking my time and not rushing things. And I asked several times. Once again the response I received was YES he will be re-elected. So when the final tally was in and Joe Biden was elected president, my reaction was oh well, I sure didn't hear Lord that time.

Now I'm seeing things coming into to view that I believe are setting the stage for a final round of prophecy before the rapture. Bearing in mind that the rapture is an imminent event---nothing has to take place first. I believe part of what is coming will be Donald Trump returning to the office of President once more. In the end I believe that I did hear correctly, I simply did not understand the circumstances and all that would come before the answer to my prayer was realised.

So let me turn my attention to the subject of Donald Trump as President. First I do not consider myself to be a Republican or Democrat. What I am is a biblical conservative and I am ready regardless of party to give Kudos If something is done correctly, and I will be very vocal and speak out if something is done incorrectly. So why would a person like me, with 35 years in pastoral ministry, even consider voting for somebody like Donald Trump?

First of all, I have to say that he is undoubtedly one of the worst, self aggrandising Braggart's that I have ever seen. There were times during his first four years that I cringed at some of the things he was saying.  Regardless of it all  that, he was still my president and I will tell you why.

At the time of his first selection, The nation in general and specifically both the evangelical side of the church and also right-wing conservatives were sick and tired of what was going on in Washington DC. All of us realised it and we wanted change. Washington D.C. was a miserable, alligator infested political swamp that no previous president was able to make a dent in. And we wanted it cleaned up. Many of us including myself,  looked at Donald Trump and decided he could do the job, even with his personality failings. He was a successful businessman, and he did not come from a political background.

What we wanted, was a junk yard dog to go to Washington DC and clean that mess up. And a junk yard dog was exactly what we got, a fighter and the scrapper. A man who will not back up for anybody and a man who had enough money in his own right that we would not have to worry about corruption on a  personal basis. And frankly it meant something to me that he donated his entire Presidential paycheck.

We did not elect a man because of his personality or because he said nice things, or because he kissed anybody behind. We elected a man to do a job and as far as I'm concerned he did that job including, keeping his promises, Particularly where Israel was concerned which is very important for people like me.

In the process of doing what we elected him to do which was clean up that miserable swamp, he ticked a lot of people off--Specifically Washington insiders who I do believe many are members of the deep state government who are intent on keeping their own positions of power, no matter what.

The proof of the pudding is that the people he upset were and are deep state operatives who need to be GONE from the public square!

One last point regarding his personality: There were so many Conservatives and in particular Christians, who were wringing their hands because of his mean-spirited tweets. Well I have news for you friends I believe I figured that out from the very beginning. What he did was nothing short of brillient! Pres. Trump Realised that all he had to do was put out some mean-spirited tweet, or call the news organisations names, or give some ridiculous nickname to a political opponent, and he was literally sucking the oxygen out of the news world for the next 5 to 10 days. In the meantime while everybody was ringing their hands and saying oh what a horrible man he is, I believe he sat back in the big chair and was chuckling. Playing a decidedly unpolitical game, writing executive orders, And getting things straightened out which is exactly what we put him in office to do. When he realised that he had gotten everything out of the news he could possibly get, he simply made another tweet--got everybody's attention again and continue to laugh and get things done in a way that many people including newscasters did not even notice. And every single insult hurled at him, the more popular he became with his base---AND THE BUCKS CAME ROLLING IN TO HIS CAMPAIGN!

Smart, very smart as far as I am concerned. 

The thing about Donald Trump that I'm not sure people appreciate---? But have you noticed? Since he left office, Afghanistan fell completely apart, Both China and Russia are threatening the world, Iran is still pushing for nuclear weapons, North Korea Is now once again a pain in everyone's side, and turkey is coming dangerously close to withdrawing from NATO. Israel is under attack nearly constantly, and the United States military has become so week that it could barely fight a war on one ocean let alone two.

We do have a breakthrough of sorts on the abortion issue but that is because of Trumps picks for the Supreme Court. And who replaced him? We have an EXTREMELY WEAK man in the White House now who is actively pushing the agenda of gay rights and transgenderism---even on our school children.

None of that  happened under Trump when he was president. Specifically Russia and China were very quiet during the Trump years because they realised that they were looking at a very strong man who would follow through on his threats if they got out of line. Now we have a weak man in the White House and the world is talking about nuclear holocaust.

So does all this mean that I want Donald Trump to be back in office as president? Yes, absolutely I do as a biblical conservative because I believe that he is good for his word. 

This past week we saw the United States government taking unprecedented action in a raid of the personal dwelling of a past president and if you think that was done for any other reason than for keeping him from running for office again, I think you need to think again.

Whatever the deep state intended with that raid,  it has done exactly the opposite. People are flocking to Trumps camp and solidifying his base of millions upon millions of his supporters. History may record that the 2024 election was just handed to Trump by his worst enemies! Not to mention MILLIONS now pouring into his war chest and more than ever support for him to run again. And I sincerely believe he will be making an announcement sometime in the next couple of months.

My question to you who are reading this is; Do you really want to drain  the swamp or is that just so much political rhetoric?

I want to tackle another subject in this article that has to do with Biblical end times prophecy. If you're reading this article at all it's probably because you believe that the Bible is the word of God and you're interested and what is going to come upon this world. First of all, A ONE WORD GOVERNMENT is clearly shaping up right now before very eyes, That's the a subject for a different article but it is happening. A one world religion is also forming before our eyes right nowIn the form of the rapidly developing, CRISLAM. There is a very real possibility we are looking at in the next year or two a one world monetary system---the stage is already being set by Pres. Joe Biden to do away with the American dollar and to go to a form of Crypto  currency or some other issue, that could completely take away your ability and manage your own money. 

On another front I can see  Ezekiel chapter 38 & 39 developing before my eyes, with the rise of Gog From the land of Magog, In the form of Russia's current struggle to rise in power. Future prophecy also tells us the time will come when the antichrist who will be seated in Jerusalem, declaring himself to be God, will have a powerful army come against him of 200 million men, from the kings of the east. The undisputed king of the east right now is China. The stage is being set for the battle of Armageddon in The Valley of Megiddo.

All of those things and more are coming to fruition as I'm writing this message. I can't give you specific times nor can I predict the exact time of the rapture but I do believe that's on the near horizon as well.

This next election for President of The United States is ultimately important and I do believe Donald Trump will become president again and I do believe that he will help to usher in some end times  prophecies, including setting the stage for the signing of the seven your peace pact between the antichrist, Israel and her neighbors in the Middle East. Let's not be jumping hurdles here because I am not saying Donald Trump is The antichrist nor am I saying that his son-in-law Jarid Kushner is the antichrist either. But it was under the Trump years that we see the forming of the Abraham Accords. For the first time in centuries Arab and Muslim Nations were beginning to snuggle up to Israel and are talking about peace. Don't think for a minute they love Israel, or the jews because nothing could be further from the truth. The fact is they're doing this because they're petrified of Iran And I believe that Iran will develop a nuclear weapon, and hold all Middle East countries hostage to their power.

There have been many times over the generations that the Lord has used otherwise well-meaning people, to set the stage for future prophecies to be Realised. And I believe that Trump becoming president again will be another example of exactly that.

As far as America goes; No matter who the next president is, America is on a downhill slide into oblivion and I believe that is the reason why we cannot find specific mention of the USA in any end times prophecies.,

There is a lot of speculation these days about America being Mystery Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots as listed in chapter 17 of the book of Revelation.

35 years ago when I first entered the ministry, I could not see that correlation. Today, a very short 35 years later I'm no longer sure and I am beginning to believe according to scripture, America/ Babylon may well be totally destroyed. And I think that time could be Immediately after the rapture the church, but once again that's a subject for another time.


After reading this article, you of course are free to agree or disagree with anything I have said. Only time will tell, but I believe that America Is in big time trouble whether Pres. Trump is elected again or not. 


One final word for you never Trumpers! I did not vote for a pastor--I voted for a junk yard dog!


God bless,

Pastor Rance.
