“2024 New Year’s Letter”

 

Dear Friends of FireGate:      This is our “2024 New Year’s Letter” to thousands of you who have attended our various meetings at conferences, churches and home fellowships, etc. Many wonderful and anointed events have happened over the years as Jesus, our Lord, has led us by His Spirit. God is with us even though we are but humans and imperfect. But He is perfect and covers us in our weaknesses. Each time we minister, we know that, “He’s Got This”!   Recently in a discussion about how we wanted to share our love and appreciation you, Deborah began prophesying and the next paragraphs are hot off the press!   “Make ready the Way of the Lord; make His paths straight! (Matt 3:3) This is what John the Baptist said - that one should repent from all sin and make ready the way of the Lord! That same scripture is one God is using today to humble nations before His second coming! Just like Jesus stands at the door of your heart and knocks, desiring intimacy with you, He stands at the door of nations, knocking. With humility, humanity will see the largest harvest ever! Only God can stir up the nations and bring them to their knees – “So that at the name of Jesus every knee WILL bow of those in heaven, and those on earth, and of those under the earth and that every tongue WILL confess that Jesus Christ IS Lord to the glory of God the Father!” (Phil 2:10-11)   These next years will be filled with both terrible and great things of God. The world can feel the birthing pangs of tribulation. Nations are going to shake to bring people to their knees and humble them because of pride, immorality, impurity, idolatry and strife. People must be brought to their knees so they can look up to Jesus Christ, the only hope in this fallen world. There will be an increase in shakings, earthquakes worldwide.   Get ready as Holy Spirit uses His people to pour out all the gifts in total array! This move of the Spirit of God will be demonstrated in an extraordinary number of people rising from the dead, people healed gloriously, pockets of outpouring such as in Ashbury…all throughout America and the world. People are going to experience Jesus the Christ as never before. Jesus is eager to harvest this world! The many prayers of the saints are cumulating in a way never seen before. There is a tidal wave of love coming from Jesus pouring over the nations that will drop people to their knees, crying in repentance. Keep your eyes on Israel. Keep your heart tender towards Israel. Keep your prayers fervent for Israel.   World leaders will be humbled. It is the time when anyone who falls on this stone (Jesus) will be broken to pieces; anyone on whom it falls will be crushed. We must pray for the presidency of our nation and our elected people in office. We must pray for the elections ahead and the leaders worldwide. Bind off wicked spirits that are assailing the bride. Pray for those who will rise up and speak the Truth, not a truth, but THE TRUTH. Pray for humility, integrity and true repentance for leaders everywhere; our cities, states, in Washington DC and counties worldwide. Let every evil be exposed to the Light of Jesus Christ.”   “Will you be willing and obedient?” Years ago, God slayed Deborah in the Spirit and ask her, three times, “Will you be willing and obedient.” Each time she answered, “What are you asking?” It seemed to be a reasonable question as she could feel the weightiness in the question from God. The third time He said, “Will you be willing and obedient to leave your family at times and go preach My Word?” After a long pause, Deborah answered, “Yes, I will!” Shortly after, FireGate Ministries was at work in Australia, preaching in a revival with thousands in attendance. God spoke to Deborah about staying a few more weeks. Tom had to go back to the USA and take care of things and she was to stay and take care of the spiritual children of the revival. “Will you be willing and obedient?” Deborah started wrestling inside as she had not been away from the U.S. without Tom. As she pondered, she started to say no, thinking that she was not sure if she wanted to stay. Suddenly she began choking, then God reminded her of her promise to Him. Instantly she complied and said, “Yes, Lord!” Her throat cleared, she stayed and the revival continued with great signs and wonders.  Our God is still speaking regarding the latter-day rain and the moves of God, “If you will be willing and obedient, I will send you to the nations.” This has been the ministry of FireGate where we have seen as many as 130,000 people come to the Kawana Waters revival in Australia and over 20,000 come to one meeting in the Fijian Islands! The challenge is before you as well, “Will you be willing and obedient?”  The darkness is here! Carnal cultures will not embrace those that stand in the light. But we must stand so light can shine forth from His people for God’s purposes! FireGate’s prayer for you is from Acts 4:29-30, “And now Lord, take note of their threats and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your Holy Servant Jesus.”  This is the year of favor of the Lord and the boldness of the Lord. This is the year to shine for Jesus! Be bold in your witness. Be ready to give an account before Christ, in spite of persecution. Check yourself. If you are avoiding persecution, avoiding proclaiming The Good News of Jesus, what do you have to put on the Throne before our God?  Persecution, culture cancellation, and unpopularity may well be the price for speaking the Truth of Jesus Christ. We are called within FireGate to be evangelists, igniters, and putting fresh fire on those raised up for end times - which is now! The first mantel ever poured out on FireGate was fire! Deborah shook under that fire and that fire still shakes! Recently she prayed for an elderly man dying of kidney failure. She laid hands on him and he shook for about ninety minutes under the fire of God. His kidneys were completely healed. God mercy has a plan so don’t stop.   Because of your prayers and faithful contributions, FireGate is still shining bright. We are committed to being abundant fruit producers, every day and in every way we possibly can. We know you are or will be also! Every encounter with someone may be the next soul saved and perhaps their last chance for salvation! Give God the Glory. Come on saints! Let’s be about our Father’s business!   God Bless, Tom & Deborah Gliebe Office@FireGate.org
