R w schambach biography of martin luther

He was the perfect example of what happens when we neglect the Word of God in our pursuit of spiritual experiences. Without the ballast of God’s Word, we may well float away into a La-la land of false spirituality, and this was the case of this individual.
My two friends and I encountered this strange little man while going door-to-door, offering to pray with people, and inviting them to revival services we were conducting in Kiowa, OK in 1972. We knocked on his door and he invited us into his home.
We immediately noticed that his living room wall was papered with numerous pictures and letters from well-known preachers of that time such as Oral Roberts, T.L. Osborn, R.W. Schambach, W.V. Grant, Rev. Ike, and others.
Almost immediately, he began telling us about his sensational, spiritual experiences, including visions and out-of-the-body experiences. He told us that he had been to both heaven and hell. He also said he saw Jesus in hell, whom he said was still there suffering for our sins.
This was so contradictory to what the New Testament says about Jesus ascending on high and sitting at the right hand of God that we immediately knew it was a lie. My friend, Ruel, interrupted him and said, “Jesus is not in hell; He is in heaven.” This individual angril

There was some singing, but the small, humble birthday party for R.W. Schambach was a much quieter place, than the tent revivals of his past.
Between his internet, radio, and television ministry, he's reached millions of people. Some of the best known preachers today, were influenced by Schambach, and they sent their birthday wishes via video.
Joel Osteen said, "I love you, and we just appreciate all of those years you have sewn into our lives."
Jesse Duplantis said, "Brother Schambach, when I found out you were 80 years old, I said, "I've got to find out what you're eating, 'cause you look marvelous! Hallelujah!"
"It's all a dream," said Schambach.
"Here I am celebrating 80 years, but the greatest meeting I had was just last month. When we went to Nigeria in Africa. In five days time, I saw over a million people converted to Christ, and that's the greatest thrill of my life. He kept me alive just for that," said Schambach.
At 80 years old, people have begun to ask when he'll slow down.
"They say, 'When are you going to retire?' I say, 'No preacher ever retires. They just refire!"
Schambach says, Lord willing, he will continue ministering for many years to come.
