Month: January 2024

Hello my most wonderful World Wide Family. I love you all so very much. It is awesome to be talking with you at this late night hour. While there are superfluous and disconcerting changes taking place in our world, it is very comforting to know the One Who holds the whole world in His Hands. What a powerful and extremely important time to believe in God, to be sustained by a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, God’s Only Begotten Son, and to be filled with and led by His Holy Spirit and His WORD, the Bible.

Dear LORD God Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth, Jesus Christ our LORD and Savior, Holy Spirit, the Divine Trinity, the One and Only True God, we worship You and praise You. We are grateful to You not only for our very existence but also for every provision that You bless us with as Jehovah Jireh, our Provider and every healing that You impart to us and our families, as Jehovah Rapha, our Divine Healer.

Please call us all to repentance and both personal, national, and world wide revival. LORD save us all from our sins and from ourselves. Please send Your Christian soldiers into all corners of Your world to share Your Gospel, glad tidings of good news and Your Love with all of Your people.

LORD please bring peace to every nation as Jehovah Shalom, the Prince of Peace. We need You every moment. We pray for the Peace of Jerusalem and for Israel as You tell us to in Your Scripture. We pray for the Innocent people in Palestine. We pray that You would save them all and all terrorists also LORD. If they were saved, and truly knew You, they would not be terrorists.

Please give us a burning desire to know You, to live as You lived, Jesus, to walk in Your Dunamis Power Holy Spirit, to change Your world for salvation. To speak words of peace and life. Please bless and protect all of those who are imprisoned, being persecuted, tortured and killed for their Christian faith. We pray for our enemies. Again, if they were saved, they would not be enemies, they would be our brothers and sisters in Christ. Please bless their families and all of our families for all generations. Please help us to teach them Peace and Love, not prejudice and Hatred. We thank You in advance LORD. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.

I have been thinking lately about how people try to separate being a Christian from their God. What I mean by this is this; they may give a person praise or accolades for an accomplishment or an award that they received. When they ask the person how they were able to achieve this great accomplishment they are told that they were only able to merit this success by the Grace of God. The person may further respond, ‘No, how did YOU do this? What is YOUR trick?’

This reminds me of when I was in college. A fellow student asked me how I was able to maintain a certain grade point level while at that time being a single parent raising 2 small children. I explained that I did not want to take time away from my children, especially since I was going to two colleges at the same time. During the day I was taking classes in the Healthcare field and at night I was taking my basic requirement courses. So I spent time solely with my children from the time I got out of class until we all went to bed. Then I would set my alarm for 3 am, arise and spend time talking with and praying to the LORD and meditating upon His WORD the Bible before I started studying until my children awakened for breakfast. I did this year after year. The LORD enabled me with His Grace. He gave me the strength, the drive and the focus. He made me succeed in parenting and college.

My classmate said to me, ‘No I mean how do YOU do it?’ I did not have a different explanation. I could not answer in the manner that they desired for me to answer. That was the Truth. That was how I was able to do what may have otherwise been humanly impossible. Only because of God and His Supernatural help and blessing. I could not be separated from God, nor could any success that I may have achieved be separated from Him. God was the Reason. God is always the Answer.

Once a person told me that I should write a book about my profession and the decades that I dedicated myself to the care of people in need. They said it should be a ‘secular’ book, focusing on my career. I absolutely will write this book one day. I absolutely will not be able to write it without mentioning the way my God helped me acquire and succeed in my profession and sustained me even through the most painful trials and tribulations and tragedies.

I think about books and documentaries about the life of George Washington our first American President. Many times information about his belief in God and time in prayer and Church is not mentioned although this was an integral part of his life. He would pray before battles. God miraculously saved him when he was attacked by Native Americans in one of the battles. The miracle was described by the Chief of that tribe. The arrows aimed at George Washington would not strike and kill him. Thank You God for this leader that You called to be our first President.

I think about many documentaries about Reverend, Dr. Martin Luther King Junior. He was the most powerful Civil Rights Leader. But, let’s not leave out that he was a Pastor. He preached God’s WORD. He got his calling from God. God used him to change the world. Thank You LORD for this man of God.

George Washington Carver was famous for many inventions, for example 325 different uses for peanuts. He was a famous inventor and scientist. He was also an artist and pianist. He was the first African American to earn a Bachelors Degree. He was born into slavery. In a documentary that I watched it was said that his testimony was that it was God Who gave him his ideas. He was a Christian. Yet this is rarely mentioned in writings about his life. What an awesome man this was LORD that You blessed with a plethora of knowledge.

There are many more brilliant and famous people who I am sure would prefer to give all the glory to God for their many achievements and accomplishments.

ACTS 17:26-29 AND HE, (GOD), HAS MADE FROM ONE BLOOD EVERY NATION OF MEN TO DWELL ON ALL THE FACE OF THE EARTH, AND HAS DETERMINED THEIR PREAPPOINTED TIMES AND THE BOUNDARIES OF THEIR DWELLINGS, SO THAT THEY SHOULD SEEK THE LORD, IN THE HOPE THAT THEY MIGHT GROPE FOR HIM AND FIND HIM, THOUGH HE IS NOT FAR FROM EACH ONE OF US, FOR IN HIM WE LIVE AND MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING, AS ALSO SOME OF YOUR OWN POETS HAVE SAID, ‘FOR WE ARE ALSO HIS OFFSPRING.’ THEREFORE, SINCE WE ARE THE OFFSPRING OF GOD, WE OUGHT NOT TO THINK THAT THE DIVINE NATURE IS LIKE GOLD OR SILVER OR STONE, SOMETHING SHAPED BY ART AND MAN’S DEVISING.

Well, once again it is late and I need to sleep. Until we get to talk again, please remember that I love you and am praying for you all and your generations. Most importantly of all Jesus loves you.

Hello my most wonderful World Wide Family. I love you all so very much. I wanted to share a few questions that I have come up with as I parse through challenging current day events, narratives and topics.

Dear LORD God Almighty, we love You, we praise and worship You. We thank You for this New Year of 2024 to grow closer to You and to each other in love. Father God please send Your Holy Spirit to call Your people unto You in salvation. Please protect us all with Your warring and ministering angels. Please use us Jesus as Your Heart and Hands extended to Your hurting people no matter where they live. We ask this in Jesus’ Name. Amen. Thank You in advance LORD.

1. How does one explain claiming to be a humanitarian and standing for love and peace between all people groups and D.E.I. diversity, equity, and inclusion; and in the same breath, spewing hatred toward Christians, or Conservatives or American Patriots or anyone and everyone who does not embrace YOUR WORLD VIEW? That seems quite ambiguous to me. We all have freedom of expression and speech, (in America), We can all agree to disagree. We don’t need to hate those who don’t agree with us. We can love them and pray for them.
2. How does one explain looking at the atrocities of pure evil that were perpetrated onto innocent Jewish people, families, civilians, who were sleeping or just awakening, or out taking an early morning stroll in nature with their children and dogs, or being young and having fun attending a Peace Concert; and say this is Israel’s fault. Where is your moral compass? Evil is evil and this is evil. It is nothing else. I pray that God will save us all and give us eyes to see and ears to hear and hearts to bear the TRUTH and reach out to everyone in the LOVE of God, and terrorism will be destroyed and God will save the innocent Palestinian people that the terrorists are keeping hostages in their own country. I pray for the Peace of Jerusalem as God tells us to and for blessings upon Israel and God’s entire world.
3. How does one live in the United States of America and burn our American flag and raise a Palestinian flag in it’s stead, protest in our streets to the point of rioting which caused business to be closed down, property destroyed, people to be unable to get to their flights and families during the holidays, and workdays, subways and freeways to be closed down, Jewish students and people to live in fear, people hurt and hospitalized, and an elderly man killed? This is America. People are lined up at our borders to come here to America, the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. If Americans went to Middle Eastern Arabic countries, or China or Russia, etc. and behaved in this manner, they would be arrested or killed immediately. Let’s Teach Peace!
4. How does one force their LGBTQ narrative onto those who don’t agree and then cancel the conversations of those who oppose, delete sections on news casts when a Conservative or a Christian is referring to God and the fact that we were founded as One Nation Under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for ALL! We all want to be loved and accepted. Sadly those in the LGBTQ lifestyle have been hurt and persecuted and that should never have happened. God gives us all freedom of choice. He also tells us all the consequences of our choices. I pray that God removes the scales and blinders from our eyes so that we all choose to follow Him and Jesus Christ as our LORD and Savior. Then we will all spend eternity together in Heaven with Him and each other. Yay!!
5. How does one stir up racism again, only this time toward persons who are caucasian while calling THEM the current racists and oppressors and privileged and people of color are the oppressed or victims. REVERSE RACISM IS RACISM. Why would you even want to start a narrative where you are ok with continually being the victim? Why teach this to our children in school as CRT Critical Race Theory? Do not teach this to mine. I understand that there has been racism. I have lived through it from both sides and still do. I have Never been a victim nor privileged. I have always strived to the Max to make it. I have only made it because of my faith in Jesus. My children have lived through it from both sides. Sadly it has not completely been irradicated. But over the decades there has been vast improvement and people are still trying to improve and there is room for each of us to always continue to improve. There have always been those who were NEVER racist, and still are not, and take a stand against it. There have been Abolitionists who risked their own lives to do the RIGHT THING. Many times at the cost of their own lives. Racism, prejudice and bigotry are evil. Stop the evil now. Love and embrace all colors, we are all beautifully and wonderfully made as God tells us in His WORD the Bible.

You do know, don’t you that we all came from Adam and Eve, the first 2 people that God created. Then after the Great Flood of Noah’s time, when everyone except Noah and his family was destroyed; we all came from Noah. We are all part of the One Human Race. We are diverse in beautiful skin pigmentations, cultures, countries of origin, accents, languages, heritage, facial, and body features. This makes us all unique and beautiful and makes life exciting. We are all God’s design and handiwork. God tells us He knew us before we were born, while we were in our Mother’s wombs. He created us with destiny and purpose. Let’s embrace and fulfill our God given destiny and use the gifts He gave us to live out this journey called life, while loving our fellow journeymen, women.

JEREMIAH 1:5 ” BEFORE I FORMED YOU IN THE WOMB I KNEW YOU, AND BEFORE YOU WERE BORN I SANCTIFIED YOU, I ORDAINED YOU A PROPHET TO THE NATIONS.” nkjv

GENESIS 1:27 SO GOD CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE, IN THE IMAGE OF GOD HE CREATED HIM; MALE AND FEMALE HE CREATED THEM. nkjv

GENESIS 1:26 THEN GOD SAID, LET US MAKE MANKIND IN OUR IMAGE, IN OUR LIKENESS….nkjv

PSALM 122:6 PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM”MAY THOSE WHO LOVE YOU BE SECURE. MAY THERE BE PEACE WITHIN YOUR WALLS AND SECURITY WITHIN YOUR CITADELS…..

ISAIAH 62:1 FOR ZION’S SAKE I WILL NOT KEEP SILENT, FOR JERUSALEM’S SAKE I WILL NOT REMAIN QUITE, TILL HER VINDICATION SHINES OUT LIKE THE DAWN, HER SALVATION AS A LAMP THAT BURNS.

In case you don’t know, when God said let Us make mankind in Our Image and Our likeness; He was talking about Himself as the Trinity. God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. One God.

I could go on but it is really late. Also I don’t want my computer to start acting up and erase my letter to you. Until we get to talk again, please remember that I love you all and am praying for you and most importantly, Jesus loves you. Why not start out your New Year 2024 developing an intimate, personal relationship with God Who made you, Jesus Christ His Son Who died to take away Your sins and give you eternal life with Him and His Holy Spirit Who empowers you, teaches you all TRUTH and wisdom and never leaves you nor forsakes you!
