We are living in extraordinary days. The whole world is changing shape at an unprecedented pace. And as the days close in towards the end of the age, believers need to be alert in the Spirit and ready for whatever lies ahead of us. In these days, I have always seen life-changing teaching as vital ‘food’ for the Body of Christ.

So, it came as a major shock when we heard that Ellel were to close down their publishing operation, Sovereign World Ltd, cease to publish our books and remove the life-changing online training programme,  Journey to Freedom, from the Ellel website! But this shock, and consequential crisis, has created new opportunities! It’s exciting to see how God has given us a new way forward to make everything available once more for the Body of Christ!

Journey to Freedom is Back Online

Journey to Freedom has been used by God to heal and equip people for real-life living. Pastors and leaders have been refreshed in their ministry. New destinies have been birthed as a result. This is how it came about.

Many years ago I had a very clear vision of a 365-day, online healing and discipleship course to be described as “Personal Transformation – One Day at a Time”. It sounded crazy, but I sensed it was from God. Then, shortly afterwards, an intercessor gave me a piece of paper and said, “The Lord gave me this for you, but I don’t know what it means, do you?” On it was Habakkuk 2:2, which says:

“Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it, for the revelation awaits an appointed time.”

I knew exactly what it meant – it was a precisely timed confirmation that the vision God had given me really was from Him and that, however crazy it may seem, I had to start writing. The revelation would be the daily teaching for 365 days, the modern-day tablet was not a waxed board, but the computer and the herald was not now a man carrying a scroll, but the internet, which would carry the message all over the world!

And so it was that the online healing and discipleship training programme, originally known as Ellel 365, was born. It took me over a year to complete the writing and it was subsequently re-named Journey to Freedom. I am astounded at how many people around the world have already been blessed, and healed in some very deep ways, through applying the teaching one day at a time, and experienced radical personal transformation. It is written in an uncomplicated, but profoundly relational way and the testimonies have been extraordinary, such as these:

“It has changed my life for ever. These past twelve months have been the most fulfilling and exciting experience I have had in my walk with the Lord . . . I weep with gratitude for what God has done for me . . . it’s been a lifeline that held me safe while Father God touched the broken places . . . the most important thing I have ever done – it’s reality . . . truly life transforming.”

Yes, it was a great shock when Journey to Freedom (JTF) was closed down on the Ellel website, but I am now thrilled to tell you that Journey to Freedom is not only back, but it is also much improved, with a lot of new material added! It is presented exactly as it was meant to be – in an online, very affordable, subscription format, taking the teaching round the world via the internet!

Here is the link to the new JTF Website – take a look:

www.journeytofreedom365.com or, more simply, at: www.jtf365.com

This is what Jim Graham, the former Pastor of Gold Hill Baptist Church, said about JTF: “Discipleship is the essence of the calling of God on our lives. Journey to Freedom is ignited by the powerful Holy Spirit of the living God. It is pastoral and personal in its application . . .  it will stimulate the mind, stir the emotions, strengthen the will and nourish the spirit. My concern is not just to commend it to you, but to plead with you to take a look for yourself.”

I would love you to try it out for yourself – you can preview it for free – and if you could pass on the link to others who would benefit from it, that would be a great blessing.

And if you have already done Journey to Freedom, or Ellel 365 in its original format, I’d be hugely grateful if you could tell me what it meant for you. I’d love to have your feedback and share your experience as an encouragement to others!

I have lifted up my eyes, seen the fields that are ‘white unto harvest’, and turned on my spiritual SatNav (GPS). Journey to Freedom is on the move! And before long It will be available in other languages also!

Now for the Books

Many people have already expressed dismay at the loss of the books.  Titles such as Forgiveness – God’s Master Key, Healing from Accident and Trauma, Healing Through Deliverance and Healing Through Creativity have been life-transforming. I’m working very hard to get all the titles available once again and many can be purchased now from the Just Cards Direct website at:

www.justcardsdirect.com

And I will soon be launching a new publishing imprint for all our titles – more about this  later. It’s well over half a century since I founded my first publishing company. I had no expectation that I would be having to repeat the operation fifty-four years later! I am learning from my own teaching that there is no retirement in the Christian life!

Onward and Upward

Fiona and I would deeply value your prayers in this extended season of our lives. God is blessing the work of Gates of Hope International (www.gohi.world) in some amazing ways. There is much work to do for the Kingdom. As a teenager one church leader would say to us young Christians – Onward and Upward – encouraging us to live the whole of our lives for Jesus. I’ve not forgotten. So onward and upward it is!!

With love, prayers and many blessings

Peter
