“God Wants to Work with Us!”
Dear Friends in Christ: We greet you in the Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ of Nazareth! Alma and I are praying for you, that God does with you as He pleases, and He pleases to bless you with all spiritual blessings in Heavenly places in Messiah! Praise the Lord!
“And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following.” (Mark 16:20)
As is our custom, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to come into your private place and share this letter with you. It is written with the intention of giving you a more clear understanding of what we are doing in our service of the Lord and Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth! God bless you!
During the last week of March, Alma and I began our latest road trip. We left Illinois, and went through Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana and ended up in Texas, where we did 5 services in 5 weeks, and traveled to Alvin, Gun Barrel City, Bullard and to just one Sunday in Liberty. We preached the Good News about the Lord Jesus, and we prayed for many sick, and the Word of Prophecy flowed abundantly. We believe that God did what He wanted to do.
After that last service, we traveled back north in Texas and went through Oklahoma and Arkansas to where we spent the last week of the trip in the vicinity of Blue Eye, Missouri in Brushy Creek, at Alma’s sister and brother-in-law’s condo, where Pastor Jim Bakker’s broadcast is done. We visited Yes! Church in Reeds Spring and we took part in Pastors Kris and Trish Jackson’s exciting worldwide ministry! It was a wonderful service that was broadcast to churches throughout the world. What a wonderful honor!
What we have experienced on this trip is a mounting excitement about what is happening now, and about to happen even more in the coming time. God is pouring out His Spirit on all flesh again. We understand that He poured out His Spirit originally in Jerusalem in Acts 2, but this is happening again, and will happen even more as time passes. When it begins in earnest, it will reshape our reality for the future. Alma and I have lived in outpouring for most of our lives, and we have followed the Spirit, Who has worked with us, confirming what we share with His unique signs following.
We have had so many reports, not only from our preaching trip, but also from our YouTube broadcast, (now with 7,626 subscribers), of miracles, signs, wonders and healings that occur days after the prayer or prophetic declaration. One such person said that he was stricken with an especially cruel and malignant form of cancer. We did a simple prayer over him, and told him to ignore the way it feels and just go about his normal life. As was his schedule, he visited his doctor to check up on the progression of the ailment, and the doctor came back and said that he couldn’t explain it, but the cancer was disappeared from all of their tests! Glory to God! That is not all that God did!
We have heard of marriages restored, people being delivered from all kinds of financial problems, and healings from many different things! God is good, and His mercy endures forever! Why is God so good to us? Why does He manifest Himself like this with all of the naysayers around who like to say that God is going to punish us for our past, for our sin and for whatever other thing that we may have done?
Like the Bible says in Psalm 25:6 and 8 in the Tree of Life Version, taken directly from Hebrew, “…Your compassions and Your mercies … are from eternity. Good … is Adonai. … He directs sinners in the way.” The true Nature of God is not to deal out punishment, but it is to lead by love, to build a family for all eternity. He is inviting the world to receive Jesus of Nazareth as Lord and Savior and to be a true, blood member of His Family forever. Yes, God will chastise His children, but He does so with His Word. He does not strike people with sickness, disease and poverty! I know that there are people who were born with a sickness or were injured through no fault of their own, and some were born into impoverished situations, but none of that is God’s doing. God is a lover and a healer. I am amazed how I hear people from time to time rail on God and blame Him for the world. It is true, He created it and gave us freedom of choice, but can He be blamed for the foolish decisions that people make? If someone decides to do harm to themselves and with their own hands they do it; who is responsible for that action, God or the person? I think the answer is obvious.
Yes, God brought His nature with Him from eternity! Compassion and mercy are His nature, not hatred, destruction and punishment. There exists a place called hell, but that was not created for people, it was created for God’s ancient enemy, the devil and his bunch. People who sadly go there are not sent by God, but go because they choose to go by rejecting the Son of God and what He did at the cross. Like my daddy used to say: “People go to hell paddling their own canoe”. God’s command for all men is listed by Phillips, “… God … commands all men everywhere to repent (because of the gift of his son Jesus).” God’s command is that no-one go to hell, but for everyone to repent! So, why do we think that He sends people to hell?
