Hello Victor. Hope all is well with you and your family. I’ve been a believer for two years I have bible studies every day with my mum and two born again believers who live next door, we listen to zack poonen. I came across your website THE PATH OF TRUTH. I was hoping you can help me and my mum Francesca as a guide for us to became closer to our God and to do his will on a more deeply level for him. The churches where we live is in Selston a small town in England they are full of man made traditions their is nowhere to go were other true believers are. their is no one to fill us with GOD’S holy spirit.please can you help us. Hope to hear from you soon God bless.
Tuesday, Victor:
Hi Craig, can you tell me about yourself and why you wish to friend me? I see your page and it is verrry religious.
For He comes up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground; He has no form nor majesty that we should see Him, NOR AN APPEARANCE THAT WE SHOULD DESIRE HIM. (Isaiah 53:2 MKJV)
Wednesday, Craig:
Hi Victor, Thank you for replying to me I would like to friend you because I want to know someone who truly believes in the living God most of my friends do not believe I only have my mum and sister and my sisters in the lord next door. We don’t go to any church because of the false traditions.
I am 29 living at home with my mum and sister hoping to be with our Lord soon I need someone to help me, how we can be closer to God. About two years ago I used to be a Jehovah’s witnesses since I stop going I have been having bible studies listening to Zac Poonen.
I am a true believer in our Lord all I would love is to be closer to him. my page may seem religious though I put some scriptures up every now and then.
I read your The Baptism in the Holy Spirit page and you said that (He was speaking to me directly and personally) this is the relationship I would love to have with the Lord. how did you feel in that moment? hope to hear from you soon. God bless you.
Wednesday, Victor:
Hi Craig,
I will get back to you. Good things are happening for you, your mum and your neighbors. The Lord is extending His grace and mercy to you. Lord willing, you’ll not only be called, but chosen.

Thursday, Craig:

Subject: Drawing Nearer to God
Hi Craig,
To give you a comprehensive reply, which would be for your benefit, read, Victor Hafichuk’s Testimony and Victor’s First Three Dreams from the Lord.
If you want more detail, do read wHaT tHe LoRd HaS dOnE wItH mE.
How do you draw nearer to God? Read:
Holy Waters
Confession of Sin
Obedience
Repentance
So You Want to Walk with Jesus
What Is Faith?
Craig, this reply may not be “up close and personal,” as you may wish, but it IS the Truth of God, with counsel to stand you in good stead and encourage you and your companions on your pilgrimage in the Lord.
If you have any questions while reading these materials, write them down and God willing, I’ll answer them for you. Don’t be reticent to ask; don’t fear asking “stupid questions.” Nothing ventured, nothing gained. “Ask and you shall receive.”
However, if you and your family and friends desire more immediate and intimate contact with our company in the Lord, you can write Sara and she can set you up to join us in our chat every Saturday (the Sabbath) at 12 noon, MST, which is about 7 P.M. your time, I believe. Our meeting usually lasts about 5 or 6 hours and includes people from around the world. You may come and go as you please, ask questions or just watch what others have to say or ask. They will all welcome you, your family and neighbors.
Concerning Zac Poonen – a nice man and has some very good things to say, but I have a problem with some things:
He mentions learning to hear God’s voice, saying it takes time to get acquainted with it. In a measure, that is true. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KzjO1dyokU). However, Moses knew it was the Lord speaking to him the first time. Samuel didn’t recognize God’s voice at first, being a young child, I suppose, but Eli instructed him and I expect thereafter Samuel knew the Lord’s voice without difficulty. Abraham knew, as did Jacob and the prophets; Cornelius knew; even Balaam and Cain, who sought to do their own will, knew. I knew.
The point is this: God is well able to speak and be heard by a rock, never mind those He created in His image. He Who made the ear to hear can make it work quite handily.
The other thing is Zac says the Old Testament people like Abraham all heard God’s voice externally, with the physical ear. Not true. They heard His voice within, silently, as we do today.
I can’t say those are serious matters. Indeed, he makes some excellent points, like the nonsense activities in Pentecostal and Charismatic gatherings – devilish manifestations, barking like dogs, being slain in the Spirit and so forth. He speaks of obedience; he speaks of the gifts of the Spirit; he rightly declares that the Bible answers every question one needs answered in truth and principle. In all these important matters, Zac Poonen is right on. I’m thankful for that (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAM3YjynoAg).
He offers all his materials free of charge. These are all very good fruits, positive indicators.
He speaks of having fellowship with real people, and how the internet won’t provide that fellowship. There are two problems here, Craig. Just try to find a real fellowship in the Lord. In our 40 years of Christian experience and travel in the world physically and by internet, we have not found such fellowship. All we have found has fallen short of God’s will.
However, you’ll find that one CAN have fellowship on the net. We have a small group attending internet meetings and being brought closer to the Lord and bonding with one another. The reason for this possibility is because God is not limited by time and space. He is above all that. He can reach you in spirit and give you fellowship however and wherever He pleases. We are finding this to be so. We’ve had this happening for several years now.
Yes, it’s nice to have physical contact in fellowship, but not absolutely necessary. Today, it’s rare to have such, but the Lord has provided the internet for us to make contact all over the world, for those who are alone, isolated, without good teaching and fellowship. The Lord is doing a new thing here. He has blessed us.
That said, if we ever have any opportunity to have fellowship directly and personally, we’ll jump at it, believe me.
Does all this help you, Craig? May God bless you, your Mum, sister and your neighbors to draw near to Him, to seek Him with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. May He save you from this untoward generation through repentance and light the way for you to victory and peace.
Be in touch,
Victor

Hello Victor. How are you? Thank you again for the pages on your website that you gave to me in the email they have truly helped me a lot. I was wondering in revelation one to three, God talks about the church and just before the great tribulation begins we the church are not told of anymore because I believe in that time God will turn back to the Jews when that happens are we with our Lord Jesus in the last seven years has Jesus opens the scroll in heaven with the crowd in heaven at that time? also do you believe the true believers are raptured as Enoch and Elijah was?
hope to hear from you soon.
God bless,
Craig.

Subject: Entering the Kingdom of God
Hi Craig,
Forget thinking and talking about the rapture, “pre-trib” or otherwise. As a believer, you must “through much tribulation enter the Kingdom of God:
“Confirming the souls of the disciples, calling on them to continue in the faith and that through much tribulation we must enter into the Kingdom of God” (Acts 14:22 MKJV).
“Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution” (2 Timothy 3:12 KJV).
How do you enter the Kingdom? You believe and obey, daily.
You ask, “Are true believers raptured as Enoch and Elijah was?”
What about true believers who have been martyred and persecuted throughout the ages and the world without rapture?
Knowledge puffs up, Craig. Such cogitations as these of yours are a pure waste of time, entirely fruitless. They grieve the Lord.
Continue to read at our site, repeatedly, attentively, prayerfully.
Victor
