Janurary 2008
This Month’s View
is offering you a new and creative way to
bring forth a fresh and rewarding New Year.
I pray that your eyes will be opened and
new heights of opportunities to break forth
in your life. The Lord promises “…to
do a brand new thing.” He says, “I
have already begun! Do you not see it? I
will make a pathway through the wilderness
… I will create rivers in the desert!”

A New Beginning - 2008
We have many examples from
God’s word proving that the number
seven is God’s perfect number, the
number of completion. The number eight represents
new beginnings. This year will be your new
beginning for change, but only if you will
step out in faith and see it occur. This
is not a justification to disobey God’s
word, such as leaving your spouse, but an
opportunity for you to triumph together
by making this a year of new beginnings.
One man defined “insanity”
as doing the same thing over and over again,
expecting a different result. Many of you
are preparing to insanely move into 2008
without new vision for change. This does
not have to be major change, but just one
little difference in order for something
new to fill its place. You will be surprised
what will open up once you make this decision.
This is a decision that must be made with
prayer and by listening to that wee small
voice of God in your heart. It is a voice
that sparks new hope and freedom for life’s
most wonderful joys to occur. Instead, most
likely yours or another voice was greater
than God’s in your life. It would
say, “You can’t do that!”,
but God would say, “Take the limits
off Me, Step out in faith and remember you
can do all things through Christ who created
you for His purpose.”2
What Could It Be?
For each of us, that new
beginning is a different opportunity. It
may be something that you gave desired to
do all your life. For me, it is to finish
my senior year in college for a B.S. in
Business Administration. I’ve have
to make a difficult decision to lay aside
teaching my two Bible classes, and give
the time slot to someone else for the opportunity
of a new beginning in their life. I will
be stepping out to complete a life-long
dream, plus opening the door for other new
opportunities.
It is all about thinking outside the box
that we have placed ourselves in our mind.
Once we begin to open up to new adventures
of faith by letting the first crack, the
dam breaks for a flood to come forth. It
just takes that first step to say, “I
can do all things through Christ who strengthens
me.” 3
You will be amazed by what come forth as
new freedoms take place in you life. There
is a whole new world of opportunities out
there. New people will come into your life
to help you open the gates of opportunities.
It will be like a chick breaking out of
an eggshell experiencing a whole new world
without knowing exactly what to do at first.
But it won’t take long for you to
be stepping tall, abounding in the love
of God. 4
Opening The Door
It is wise to be very cautious
who you let into your life. In the early
days of the church, because of persecution,
Christians would make the sign if fish with
a stick in the dirt when they would first
met in order to find out if they were both
Christian. Christ says, “Look! Here
I stand at the door and knock. If you hear
me calling and open the door, I will come
in, and we will share a meal as friends.”5
He is the one who will give you a heavenly
point of view with wisdom to discern who
to let into your life. This must be done
with great discernment. Don’t be afraid
to step and share the excitement of your
life with those around you, but this should
be done with great discernment.
For me, I am opening the door for you to
write me. I don’t have anything to
lose since I’m protected by prison
walls including an electric fence. I live
in the ultimate “gated community”.
Words cannot hurt me because I am secure
in Christ. My address is: Charles D. Watson
B-37999, P.O. Box 409040 #10-217L, Ione
CA. 95640-9040, You must enclose a self
addressed stamped envelop to get a response.
I am not promising to answer all your questions,
but I an willing to respond with whatever
the Lord places on my heart for you.
Is this the flood gate opening in my life?
Who knows what new opportunities could occur
as a result? I do not take all the opportunities
that come my way, but it is great to have
several so that the Lord can speak to my
heart concerning His will for my life. He
is the one who opens the door for us that
no one can shut.6
Are you willing to open the door to your
new life so that the flood gate can break
forth a new beginning?
New Opportunities
This year is going to be
the most amazing year for those willing
to open the door for a new beginning. If
you will just crack it a little, the Lord
will strengthen you to open it the rest
of the way through faith in what He has
planned for your life.
It has taken me years to see my destiny.
Ever since Christ came into me heat in 1975,
it has been to share the testimony of Jesus
Christ. This year, my books “Will
You Die For Me?” and “Manson’s
Right-Hand Man Speaks Out!”, will
be bound together back to back in one new
publication. We see the Lord using it touch
a whole new generation with the Gospel of
Jesus Christ to have something new and exciting
for you during the New Year of 2008. Let
me hear from you!
A Prayer for You …
Our loving Father, You
know the beginning from the end, and the
purpose of our lives. You plans are for
good and not for harm. When we are faithful,
you remain faithful. In faith, we ask for
your will to be reveled in our life, so
that we may step forward and receive all
you desire to have happen. We seek to do
your will and to begin anew as you would
want us. Please open those doors you plan
for us to go through to further your kingdom
as we minister in Jesus’ name. Amen!
