givethanksHAPPY VETERANS & THANKSGIVING DAY! The practice of thanking God for our salvation releases the Holy Spirit to lift our hearts above fear, guilt, shame, condemnation and insecurity. Praising Him for our victory through the death, burial and resurrection of Christ releases our faith to overcome the darkness. The apostle Paul puts it like this,

" . . . always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins with his blood" (Colossians 1:12-14, NLT).

Thanksgiving & Praise . . .

I'm celebrating my 55th year in prison on November 30th, with thanksgiving and praise for God's mercy, grace and peace.

sinorsalvationHappy Columbus Day! It seems that many of you don't think you need the forgiveness that God offers for sin. You say, "What sin?", when in fact the Law of God was given to reveal sin and your need for Jesus, the Messiah. And the Holy Spirit was given to convict you of the sin of unbelief, accordingly to Jesus, Who said:

" Nevertheless, I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you, but if I depart, I will send Him to you. And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment" (John 16:7-8, NKJV).

Wake Up To Righteousness . . .

I am going to give you one of the most hard-to-swallow Scriptures of this day and age.

Deut 30.19 Choose LifeWelcome Beloved! If I were to ask, "Do you hear voices?" You may quickly say "no", due to a negative connotation. But, the word "voice" is mentioned 441 times in The Bible, "voices" 19 times. A search will reveal either God's voice, men's or women's voices and the enemy's voice. Every moment of the day we have a choice to agree with God's voice of life or the enemy's voice of death. The LORD says:

"Today I have given you the choice between life or death, between blessings [prosperity] and curses [disaster]. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live! You can make this choice by loving the LORD your God, obeying him, and committing yourself firmly to him. This is the key to life. And if you love and obey the LORD, you will live long in the land the LORD swore to give your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob" (Deuteronomy 30:19-20, NLT).

The Voice Of God . . .

One of my favorite scriptures was given to the apostle John in the book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ, describing a spiritual battle, saying:

houseflowersWelcome! It was 55 years ago when I lived in hell on earth at Spahn's Ranch. For anyone envious of me in those days, desiring to have been there [excluding the crimes] are deceived, even delusional. It wasn't your typical flowers in your hair, hippie commune with a garden, but a bunch of pliant slaves serving a madman.

"For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another" (Titus 3:3, NKJV).

john1633Welcome Overcomers! God the Father is the Team Owner of the Overcomers. The Lord Jesus Christ is the Coach. The Holy Spirit is the Quarterback. The Players are the believers and receivers. Are you a member of the Team -- the Household of God? In the apostle John's vision of the new heaven and new earth, He who sat on the throne said:

"He that overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murders, sexually immoral, sorcerers, Idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death" (Revelation 21:7-8, NKJV).

depressionShalom! The cause of the turmoil in the world today is Spiritual blindness in those who have rejected God's love. The results are deceptive beliefs, unmet needs and expectations, frustration, insecurity, fear and anger. Simply put, sin is the root of a fallen and oppressed society, separated from God. The apostle Paul wrote:

"But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them" (2 Corinthians 4:3-4, NKJV).

why am i hereHappy Mother's Day! Our relationship with our mom varies for each of us, from the greatest to none at all. Regardless, God had a divine design for us from our mother's womb. The key is to recognize it, have faith in God and move on in life no matter what. The Psalmist David proclaimed to the Lord:

"You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. . .You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day passed" (Psalm 139:13,16, NLT).

sowerHappy Springtime! In the Parable of the Sower, the Seed [God's Word] sown by the wayside, in rocky soil and among the thorns was never rooted nor grounded in the soil of their hearts. The hearers did not understand nor comprehend the Good News because their hearts we're hardened, not truly turned to Jesus for healing. But for those who were healed, the Lord said:

"The seed that fell on good soil represents those who truly hear and understand God's word and produce a harvest thirty, sixty or even a hundred times as much as had been planted" (Matthew 13:23, NLT).

Happy Valentines! The Holy Bible is God's love story. The Scriptures contain the knowledge that God has provided forgiveness of sin and eternal life as a free gift to whoever receives Jesus Christ, but due to spiritual blindness and lack of faith in God's promises, people remain captive to their fallen nature, caused by sin and spiritual death.

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15, KJV).

Happy New Year! Jesus came into the world as a baby like us, except born of a virgin with the prophesied name, "Immanuel", meaning "God with us." 1 After His finished works on earth, He arose from the dead as Lord and Savior of the world, promising the Holy Spirit for our empowerment to "Go" into all the world with the Good News of the cross. He said:

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things I have commanded them, and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." 2

Jesus says, "Come and Go..."

The Beatles gave us their last song, "Now and Then", but God gave us the Great Commission through Jesus Christ,  Who said, "Come to Me" and "Go" into all the world.
