“The Good Treasure”

Luke 6:45 (KJV) A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

Greetings friend!

Let’s Pray!

“Lord Jesus, thank you for giving us your light, for calling your light good, and for teaching all of us the importance of having a heart full of light. Because of you Holy Spirit may we have good treasure in our heart. Your word teaches us to put good treasure into our heart, for you said, out of the abundance of our heart, our mouth speaks. We love you Holy Ghost, and we love your word and your truth. May your grace, oh Lord, continue filling us with wonder of your mighty works. In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. Amen.”

In my previous Sunday Prayer Letter, I wrote on Mark 13:10, KJV. This included a brief discussion of the corrupted bibles or rather gospel that is being published throughout the world today. I went on to talk about how when we speak, the Holy Ghost shall give us the words to speak. In this letter, I will continue on a similar tack by discussing the good treasure in our heart, verses the bad or evil treasure of the heart. Onward we go!

All to often when we want to say something to someone in our daily life, it often doesn’t come out the way we wanted it to. Have you ever noticed that? We walk away, or drive away and then wonder, why did I say that? Or, I should have said this, instead of that! Why don’t I say what I want to say? And of course, we all have our little bouts of talking to ourselves about how to be better. Can you relate?

By going to the word of truth as found and written in the Holy Bible, Authorized King James Version… we can meditate on the very words of truth and love and compassion and grace that would be ever so much better than the words of evil. This is an important topic… what we read, hear, pray, keep, and write are critical words that will give life… or give death!

What does the scripture say about that?

Proverbs 18:21 (KJV) Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

So, let’s discuss our key scripture for this Sunday Prayer Letter.

“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good;…” (Luke 6:45)

I wanted to write this long section because it is all about “GOOD” …it’s mentioned three times! Let’s look at the very first mention of this word in the bible, good. It’s right here…

Genesis 1:4 (KJV) And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

The moment I saw this text, the very first word that I saw was, light! God is calling the light, “good!” That’s amazing to me… not right now, but if you go take a look around all the scriptures about “light” you will too get excited! Because, this word “light” is used for the absence of dark, for the presence of God, for our spirit, for God’s Holy Spirit, and for a description of what we look like verses what a devil looks like… that may be a little abstract… but take a look at what the angels of God look like! LIGHT!

God separated the light from the dark. Did you know that God is able to do that? Do you also know that God can separate the spirit from the body? Yes, God is to be feared! Because as the scriptures tell us…

Proverbs 1:7 (KJV) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Proverbs 9:10 (KJV) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

The thing we all need to keep in mind is, what we seed into our mind is what will bear fruit. We sow God’s word into our spirit by renewing our mind to the word of truth. (Read Romans 12:2.) The scripture continues with, the commandment to be renewed in the spirit of your mind. (Read Ephesians 4:23.) Also the word says, to put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him… talking about Christ is all, and in all. (Read Colossians 3:10-11.)

There are so many scriptures that pertain to laying up treasure in your heart, that it would be most labourious to list them all here for you. Therefore, the very best advice and counsel that the Holy Ghost says to us is, “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)

Can we all do that? Or will the world and all of its glamour and pleasures tell us something else?

Be alert my friend.

“…and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil:…” (Luke 6:45)

This is an easy one to talk about! It’s simply the opposite of what God wants his children to do. And of course, it perfectly describes what Satan wants for the whole world! Why would Satan want evil for the world? Isn’t Satan the god of this world? Yes, according to scripture! And the crazy thing about this is, those that are perishing, think and believe that Satan is their god and savior! Don’t believe me! Then why not come out with me on the streets for a day or two and find out for yourself? You would be shocked! But then again, the majority of believers never witness, never preach, never led another soul to Christ. My heart breaks for the lost… it is why I spend about 30 hours a week on the streets of my city, preaching and ministering the beautiful gospel of salvation through believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, and the blood of his cross.

If you don’t know for sure, my friend, if you died tonight that you would go to heaven… then cry out to God to save you… by calling out to Jesus… “Jesus, if you’re real, here I am.” That was my cry, decades ago, and I’m still saved and in love with my Jesus! My Saviour! My God! Thank you Jesus for saving me and calling me into your service. Read Acts 2:21, King James Bible… “…whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” That’s glad tidings my friend! (Read Romans 10:15.)

In fact, why not go read the entire chapter ten in Romans, but do it in the King James Bible. Read it very slowly and deliberately, like the legal document it is, along with asking the Holy Spirit of God to help you. This one small act might be something that is missing in your story, or possibly something that the Lord wants to show you, maybe not for you… but rather for someone that the Lord will lead you to. Always be ready with an answer to people’s questions… but rather be filled with the Holy Ghost, and the Spirit of truth will put the right words in your mouth. Amen, and Amen.

Okay, let’s finish this last piece of scripture and see what else the Holy Ghost wants… Hallelujah!

“…for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.” (Luke 6:45)

As I quickly read this and began to write, I stopped… my mind went all over the place with the word abundance! I mean, just look around… and see… and hear… and understand… God is an ABUNDANT GOD!

(Just a quick note here, I write a lot of scriptures in our Sunday Prayer Letters because there is no better source of truth than the pure words of God! Why go to some preacher or minister and learn about God? In these letters, I really don’t teach… what I attempt to do is to edify you, and to exhort you, and to comfort you… this is scriptural. However, to learn the scriptures, simply ask… yes… ask the Holy Ghost. (Read John 14:26.))

John 14:26 (KJV) But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

We all know about abundance… it’s every where! However, we all may not know the importance of laying up for ourselves good treasure in our heart, nor we may not know the results of our speech, nor we may not fully understand the way the mouth works and how it produces? These are all very good questions and thoughts… one of the key items here is in our scripture for this letter… it references Matthew 12:22-37, King James Bible.

I just want to highlight one key item in these passages. Namely the last two scriptures, 36 and 37.

Matthew 12:36-37 (KJV) But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Do you see the words, “…every idle word”? Also take a look at the words, “…by thy words thou shalt be justified…” And again look here, “…by thy words thou shalt be condemned.” (The words, thy, thou, thee are singular and talking about a single person, not a group of people. That is also why this is so important, it is all about the person, not the group, not the family, just THEE!)

The words we put into our heart, and the words we speak, are the very life we live. Listen to the words you speak. Write them down. Look at them. Think about what you are saying… to yourself… to others… and to God.

I say these words because of what I hear on the streets as I preach and minister. Daily, I am shocked at the speech that comes out of believers… and of course, non-believers. If a believer speaks the wrong words, then immediately repent! If those words were spoken to another person, then go ask forgiveness… NOW!

Keep the pure words of God.

Place each one in your heart.

Meditate on God’s holy word.

Be holy.

Be perfect.

Have clean hands.

Have a pure heart.

Do not lift up your soul unto vanity.

Do not swear deceitfully.

Receive the blessing from the LORD.

Receive righteousness from the God of your salvation.

WHY?
Because God loves you!

In great respect,

—JC.

Deuteronomy 6:6-7 (KJV) And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Psalm 12:6 (KJV) The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

Psalm 19:8 (KJV) The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
—II Corinthians, KJV.

“Published Among All Nations”

Mark 13:10 (KJV) And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

Greetings friend!

Let’s Pray!

“Oh Lord, thank you for loving us so greatly! You have forgiven us of our sins. Lord, you have sent the promise of the Father. Oh Lord, we cry with joy as we receive of the Holy Ghost the love that you so generously have given. Your love is without compromise. Your love covers us with beauty. Oh Lord, our heart is overwhelmed with your love. Lord Jesus, you have shown to us how to love, yes, by demonstrating the laying down of your life, we too may lay down our lives for our friends. Help us Oh Lord, to be counted worthy to show your love to the world, so that we may save many through your blood Jesus. Only by the grace of God may we even come close to knowing who you truly are Oh Lord. Thank you Lord Jesus, thank you. In your name we pray. Amen.”

In my last Sunday Prayer Letter, I talked about, not me but rather the Holy Ghost, preaching the word. I used the scripture references in Mark 2:2-12, KJV to explain a little bit about what is being preached, is what the people will ask for, or what miracles will be manifested. This is mostly due to a certain message, from the word of truth, that is being preached. In this letter we will go into a little different direction with the preaching of the word.

Our letter is based partly on this pivotal text that is apart of a private discussion between Jesus and four of his apostles. This context is found in Mark 13:1-23 and then on into Mark 13:24-31, then continues from Mark 13:32-37. All of this is from the Lord Jesus Christ teaching us, not just the apostles, but rather all of his church, the bride of Christ! Take heed that you be not deceived, for many shall come… Mark 13:10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations. This is not a light matter. Rather one that needs your attention my friend!

So then I can hear people ask me, why John do you get so serious in your preaching and teaching? Because most of today’s preachers don’t get so serious. They give a message that is joyful and praise filled and one that makes me happy! Why then do you, Preacher John, talk of things that are so grave and so serious that makes me look inward and question my life in the world?

Do you see your answer there? It’s right there in your own question!

I talk and preach the way I do because the Holy Ghost is within me. I am baptized with the Holy Ghost. As this scripture says so clearly…

Mark 13:11 (KJV) But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

I placed the text in bold to get your attention to stop reading or listening to this letter and reread this scripture, and then think on it for a little while. Why? It’s important.

Let’s go back to our key text…

Mark 13:10 (KJV) And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

Just exactly what does this mean, at least to me, what does it mean? Let me first explain, how I am only using this verse rather than all the other potential verses that say so much more. The key reason is that this is the scripture the Holy Ghost quickened to me, sort of like highlighting, or underlining, or making note of this passage of scripture above the others, however only temporarily… because all the counsel of God is life to the believer. Also, allow me to make note here: when a minister or preacher takes a single scripture, and begins to elevate that one single word about all the others, and then begins to create his own doctrine based and surrounding this word, what happens next is this is the beginning of a cult. Think about that for awhile, my friend!

This letter is coming from yet another book that a very close friend gave to me a few days ago. I began to read it and then got mad! Yes, got mad! Why? Because, after detailing to my friend the danger of corrupted text and man altered bibles, what I call new age bibles, or you could say modern versions… this dear friend, ignored my warning and continued their study over the next several years and now has written their own book, and filled it with teaching from this corrupted word of God (read 2 Corinthians 2:17).

This is the reason I got mad, or could be the reason why the Holy Ghost showed this text to me this morning… Mark 13:10 (KJV) And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

Why is a simple and short text so important when there are numerous, to the tune of tens of thousands of scriptures, in the word of God? There are 31,102 scriptures in the Holy Bible, Authorized King James Version.

And here the Holy Ghost picks one with but 10 words! This is what people tell me… it’s to small John to bother with, and anyways, they say, I like the way my pastor teaches out of this other bible. And they go on to say, I just can’t understand that old King James thing… anyways, isn’t that legalism that your taking about John? What about the grace and mercy of God? And again, what about just worshipping and praising HIM? Who is HIM, is what I, Preacher John, asks? Of course then they tell me, you know who it is! Why do I have to tell you? We all know who HE is! They say, it is HIM that I worship. I say, wake up people, wake up; the morning is here, wake up!

As I’m writing I’m sort of beginning to get angry all over again. Why is it that people just don’t want the truth? Why is the truth so opposed to them? Why is the truth that difficult to understand? Is it because the lie is better than the truth? Could the lie make their life better due to the worldliness in their life? Could it be possible that the pastor of their church teaches so elegantly and so intelligently that they dare not question his authority? Maybe it is because the pastor is so successful? You know the pastor’s that have worldly wealth, in the numbers of millions! If they are millionaire pastors, well then, they must be right, aren’t they? They’re successful!

Alright, let’s move on with why the Holy Ghost is using this tiny text of Mark to tell us something important.

Here again is the scripture…

Mark 13:10 (KJV) And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

What I’m going to do is what I normally do, which is to rightly divide each section of this scripture and discuss it a little bit, okay?

1. “And…” Now I’m laughing because I stopped at this word… how silly it sounds to the unlearned mind! This little three letter word says volumes about the text. This word connects us to the previous text or scripture and actually to the rest of the counsel of God. Very briefly, the above information in this chapter 13 is in reference to the end times or the end of the world type talk. Jesus was answering Peter, James, John, and Andrew, (they are four of the Lord’s apostles), on a question they had, after Jesus spoke a prophecy. (A side bar here: we all need to continue asking Jesus questions, because that is one of the ways the Holy Ghost will open the word of truth to us… so ask lots of questions!) Let’s go on…

2. “…the gospel…” This here is the big deal to me! What happens here will determine what is going on in the world and its timetable. If Satan can alter God’s timeline for the earth and the Lord’s prophecy’s, then Satan can get the upper hand to destroy even more of God’s creation. Do you see it? Do you understand that there is a devil, a father of lie’s, and his name is Satan? The reason I ask this is, way to many Christians believe there is no devil, nor is there an angel called Satan. They have been taught a lie! They believe a lie. This lie takes over and fills the area in the mind that should have the truth within it… there is no place for lies in the mind of a believer.

The word gospel is short for, “God’s word”… and is not, nor does it mean, good news. The gospel is what we learn to believe for our salvation through Jesus Christ. The people who do not believe the gospel of Christ, are those how are destined for hell, then judgment, then the second death, which is the lake of fire. Why? Because their name was was not found written in the book of life. (Read Revelation 20:15.)

If Satan is able to stop the spread of “the gospel”, then he might think that he is able to stop the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, and thus stop his eventual demise. Of course, it is important to not think to much on what is going on in the mind of Satan. All we actually need is a brief discussion about our enemy. And this is easily had in the gospel. Also, I need to say that the gospel is not only the four accounts of Jesus, namely, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. I hear some preachers say, this is the only gospel, and that everything else in the word of God is other stuff, and not important and possibly not true. How stupid and corrupt can preachers get?!?!

This section here is important due to the corruption of God’s word throughout the entire world. So much so that when I’m out on the streets preaching and ministering, I get a lot of Christians who have some very weird doctrines. Wow, I mean some really stupid stuff that they have been taught. My friends, this is NOT A LIGHT MATTER! This bible version problem is paramount to the church of Jesus Christ. And Christians of all kinds simply flip it off as unimportant and of no consequence. Beware.

Let me take just a moment and describe a very short example of corruption in the word of God in the modern bible versions. In fact let’s use the number one counterfeit bible in the world as our test bible. What is that bible you ask? Well, it is none other than the great, “NEW KING JAMES BIBLE”. The best counterfeit “$100 bill” that is making thieves wealthy! Very very wealthy! You know the one, the bible that has the old symbol “666” on the front cover. It’s so comfortable and easy to read! Oh, it is the best… oh boy, this is the bible for me! And besides, my church pastor teaches out of it and says that it is the word of God! Why would I go against this great man?

I’m getting sick now! Man, there is so much going on here that goes right over and around many Christians.

Here is our short example…

KING JAMES BIBLE: 1 Corinthians 1:18 (KJV) For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

NEW KING JAMES BIBLE: 1 Corinthians 1:18 (NKJV) For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

Are you able to see the difference in these two bibles? Look closely, because one of these is a perfect counterfeit, and easily deceives the multitudes.

Did you find it?

To bad we can’t have a dialogue here? So let me guess, to some it was easy to see the difference. And then again to others, it is not easy and they still can’t see the difference in the two scriptures. In fact, some actually say, there is no difference in the two, they say the same thing!

Actually there are two major errors in the counterfeit. However, I’ll discuss just one. Namely, the word… “are saved” vs. “being saved” … these two are distinctly two different doctrines. They don’t even say the same thing… but to the uninformed and the non-bible reader, they can’t see the difference.

Let me ask another question? Of these two bibles, which one would the Lord Jesus Christ take with him to preach from if he were to drop by your church today, Sunday, and preach a message of salvation to the congregation? Do you think it matters? Do you believe that Jesus doesn’t know the difference? Or maybe, Jesus doesn’t care which bible is his? Is the Lord Jesus Christ the author of the word of God? Is the Lord Jesus Christ your Saviour? Do you know Jesus Christ as the Lord of your life? Are you saved?

Romans 10:8-9 (KJV) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Acts 2:21 (KJV) And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

If you’re not saved my friend, go ahead right now and ask Jesus to save you. A simple prayer of faith and repentance from sin, is all you need. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. My prayer was, “Jesus, if you’re real, here I am.” That was a cry from my heart over 47 years ago, and I’m still loving my Saviour! Amen!

Acts 16:31 (KJV) And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Romans 1:16 (KJV) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

Let’s go ahead and finish up this long winded letter…

Mark 13:10 (KJV) And the gospel must first be published among all nations.

3. “…must first be published…” The publishing of the gospel is critical to God’s plan for his creation. Even as the scripture says …seek first the kingdom of God…, even God does his word! Pretty cool, huh? I love God with all my heart, and am so utterly thankful for his mercy upon me.

4. “…among all nations.” Right here tells us what God is planning. The Lord is not willing that any should perish…

2 Peter 3:9 (KJV) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

You have a promise coming your way my friend…

What is that promise…

The promise that you should not perish…

Is this promise glad tidings to you…

Good things are coming your way my friend!

With the hope of promise,

—JC.

Psalm 34:10 (KJV) The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

Psalm 92:1 (KJV) It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

2 Timothy 1:14 (KJV) That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.

AMEN.

“He Preached The Word”

Mark 2:2 (KJV) And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.

Greetings friend!

Let’s Pray!

“Lord Jesus, thank you for hearing our prayer. When you showed us how to preach, this changed everything! Because you sent the promise of the Father, we can preach like you preached the word on that miracle filled day, as recorded in Mark 2:2. Thank you Holy Spirit for giving us boldness to preach the word the way Jesus did, and the way that Peter and John preached, because it was noted of them that they had been with Jesus. We have so much to learn, but we are well on our way, because Jesus, you are the way, the truth, and the life and no man cometh unto the Father, but by you Jesus! In your name Jesus, we pray. Amen.”

It sort of strikes me funny when I sit down to write this Sunday Prayer Letter. Sometimes I am filled with all these scriptures and if seems difficult to begin writing. Other times, like right now, I have a very tiny scripture, and just a few words in that scripture, that continues to jump off the page to me! Namely a few simple words in Mark 2:2, “…he preached the word unto them.”

Let’s just make this a smooth and easy letter today. And let’s see what the Holy Ghost has to say about these short six words. Amen?

“…he preached the word unto them.”

The word “he” is clearly Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God! This immediately begs to ask you, do you know Jesus Christ as your Saviour? I can hear people say, but John I’m already saved, why do you keep asking that question, am I saved? Glad you asked my friend! I ask because I want you to ask everyone you come in contact with. You need to ask them because, there may not be another person who will ask them before they die. I know, sobering isn’t it? So, just go ahead and ask, it’s no big deal… they’re probably a stranger anyway! (Big smile on my face!)

“…he preached the word unto them.”

The next word is “preached” … I like this because this is one of two words that got my attention. Many times I ask people, when you’re reading a gospel tract and one of the pictures on the page or maybe the bible verse jumps off the page or is sort of highlighted to you… then go find out why that is, because there may be a very good reason, and one that may apply to your life right now!

I looked up the first mention of the word preached… it’s here in Nehemiah…

Nehemiah 6:7 (KJV) And thou hast also appointed prophets to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.

The first mention in the New Testament is here in Matthew…

Matthew 3:1-2 (KJV) In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

It looks to me that preach would mean, “to say”, even in Matthew 4:17 “…Jesus began to preach, and to say,…”

Now if we quickly look up the word “say” it’s right here in Genesis…

Genesis 1:22 (KJV) And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

Clearly to preach is to say… and to say, when you say the word of God, you will say things that will be fruitful and multiply… therefore, be careful for what you say!

Because it’s right here in Matthew… “…for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” Matthew 12:34.

Pay very close attention here, because this just might be one of the answers you seek?

Here’s another big caution, and warning from the Lord, on this subject.

Deuteronomy 28:45 (KJV) Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:

Deuteronomy 28:47 (KJV) Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;

Do you see what is going on here? The Holy Ghost is telling us to put the word of truth into our heart and then when we say something it will be the word of the Lord saying… your words become scripture!

Now realize you don’t need to read off the exact verbatim words unless you are able to, nor are you required to give the scripture address for what you just said… just be filled with the Holy Ghost and allow the Spirit to move and to have freedom to do what it is that God wants to do in that person you are talking with. Amen?

If you however, fill your heart and mind with the world, and with minister’s books, and with movie talk, and with radio talk, and even… yes, and even with the modern praise music… you will be sowing seeds that you may not like its fruit. Because God will not be mocked… what does the scripture say…

Galatians 6:7 (KJV) Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Luke 8:11 (KJV) Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

So let’s go on…

“…he preached the word unto them.”

Actually it’s right there in our a little tiny scripture… “the word” … already the Holy Ghost is dealing with us to put the word into us… and then we can deliver the message accurately, and even Spirit filled words will flow out of our mouth!

When we speak by the Holy Ghost, then the fruits of the Spirit begin to perform as needed per that person we are talking with or ministering to… it’s a miracle to me!

“…he preached the word unto them.”

I wanted to get to these last couple words here… “unto them” … because what is to be said next is important to your ministry.

When you see preaching going on and then you witness what happened immediately after the preaching of the word, this will indicate to you what message or gospel or topic or even scriptures were being preached upon… what they were saying, in other words!

In our text today, which is in Mark… and a few more scriptures, we’ll see the message that Jesus was preaching and saying to the people in the house…

Mark 2:2 (KJV) And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.

Mark 2:3 (KJV) And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.

Mark 2:4 (KJV) And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

Mark 2:5 (KJV) When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

Right there we can see it… Jesus was preaching on the forgiveness of sin and preaching on healing! Can you see it?

To me the word of God, specifically the Authorized King James Bible, is the word of God… and it is the most beautiful and inspiring and loving message ever written… and written by God himself!

My friend, love the word of God and you will see some beautiful things begin to happen in your life.

The first thing you may see is your faith will grow!

And then you may see that your authority in speaking will begin to grow!

Then you may see the words of your mouth begin to change and become the very words of God!

The bible will become ALIVE!

Amen!

And here is were it shows that Jesus was also teaching on healing…

Mark 2:9 (KJV) Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?

Mark 2:10 (KJV) But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)

Mark 2:11 (KJV) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.

Mark 2:12 (KJV) And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.

Those last few scriptures above here finish up the results, or rather we could say, as recorded in the last verse of Mark…

Mark 16:20 (KJV) And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Can you see that God loves you…

That God gave it all to you…

And God cares just for you…

There is ONE GOD…

And there is none other.

Saying, I love you,

—JC.

Mark 12:29 (KJV) And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

Mark 12:30 (KJV) And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

Mark 12:31 (KJV) And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

AMEN.

“Cast Seed Into The Ground”

Mark 4:26 (KJV) And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

Greetings friend!

Let’s Pray!

“Lord Jesus, thank you for allowing us the honour to pray to you boldly. It’s as if you want us to come to you, with whatever it is that is on our heart. Thank you for asking us to pray, and to come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. For we know, yes we know in our heart, that you love us and care for us, in even the littlest matters of life. Thank you for helping us build our faith. Thank you for sending to us your precious Holy Spirit. Thank you Holy Spirit for all that you are teaching us about our Lord and Saviour, JESUS CHRIST! In your name Jesus, we pray. Amen.”

Don’t you just love praying? I don’t exactly know what it is about prayer that gets to me. But every time I pray, it is as if the Lord Jesus actually hears me! I mean that is amazing… and quite possibly a miracle! Because there is no way on earth that we can get to heaven, or our voices be heard in heaven’s throne by God almighty without the precious shed blood of Christ that covers us and redeems us from death and destruction. I’m excited!

Let’s just get right into this Sunday Prayer Letter and see what the Holy Ghost has for us. Amen?

We’ll start with the key text for the letter…

Mark 4:26 (KJV) And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

Immediately we can see that Jesus is teaching us and talking to us through the written word about the kingdom of God. We all need to remember that Jesus is God, and the kingdom of God is in heaven… or actually more than we can fathom… the kingdom of God is actually another topic that can take up a whole letter. Also we must realize that heaven is real and actually exists in real life… it’s not imaginary nor fantasy nor unobtainable. Of course the way is narrow, it is not broad and wide and expansive like Satan attempts to teach the world. No. There is only one way to heaven… and that one way is through the Lord Jesus Christ.

Look at this scripture and think about it…

Matthew 7:13-14 (KJV) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Do you see the last few words of this scripture? “…and few there be that find it.”

I think we can use today’s key text to talk about this for a moment or two… or three!

Let’s put all the scriptures here that are for our letter…

Mark 4:26 (KJV) And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

Mark 4:27 (KJV) And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

Mark 4:28 (KJV) For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

Mark 4:29 (KJV) But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

There are many thoughts about these scriptures, however because I’m a street preacher and have ministered for most of my life out in the world, out where the sinners are, and not in a four-wall church… I may have a little different perspective on these words from our Saviour.

Mark 4:23 (KJV) If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

I like starting off with this because so many people that I talk to on the street just simply don’t listen… they don’t get what it is the Spirit is saying… they literally cannot hear! Their ears are plugged up… and of course their eyes are shut and closed and covered over. Isn’t that weird? You would think that if God wants to save every single soul on earth that everyone would have ears to hear, and eyes to see, and a heart to understand… but, they don’t!

Deuteronomy 29:4 (KJV) Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.

There are many words that say something similar all through the word of truth. My caution to everyone is… BEWARE!

Matthew 7:15 (KJV) Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Mark 4:26 (KJV) And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;

Jesus said to us to cast seed into the ground. Yes, I know what the scripture context is… do you? You see, to many saints are twisting and turning and manipulating God’s word to fit their lifestyle of sin… oh my, did I say something bad? Remember, I meet people outside of their church building and because of that… I can see what believers are actually doing… and what is really going on in their life. Some church pastors don’t get the chance to see what I see as a street preacher and missionary on the streets and lanes of the city. So because of this, my prayers are quite different than a church building pastor.

Here’s another BEWARE!

Galatians 6:7 (KJV) Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Let’s go on…

Mark 4:27 (KJV) And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.

After seed is sown, or the seed is cast into the ground… for example… the seed of the word of God sown into the heart… which is what is taking place in preaching the gospel… we who preach need to accept the fact that it takes time and patience to see a harvest. And in most cases, we won’t see the harvest of our own seed sowing in our lifetime. We, quite possibly will see the harvest of our seed sowing when we get to heaven. Not sure?

One of the great things the Holy Ghost has taught me in street ministry is to have patience and to partner with him, the Comforter. In this partnership and relationship, I can rest easy and have a light burden on my shoulders. I know by faith, that the Holy Ghost is doing the real work of putting that seed into their heart, and saving their soul. That’s good news my friend!

We don’t have to know how the Holy Ghost does it… we just have to live by faith… and preach by faith… and minister by faith! You see, it’s easy to be a preacher when you are filled with the Holy Ghost. However, when preachers are not filled with the Holy Ghost, life as a preacher is extremely difficult and often times results in burn-out and fatigue and loss of joy. My friend, be filled with the Holy Ghost! Ask Jesus to baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire!

Mark 4:28 (KJV) For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

I’m sort of laughing to myself as I was pondering this scripture… I was quietly chuckling to myself because I was hearing in my imagination, scientist and horticulturist say, oh that is to simple! You see, they don’t hear, and don’t see, and don’t understand GOD!

Do you understand God? I mean really, think about this question. Is God a big mystery to you? Is God so far off and distant, that you don’t know God? Is God maybe not real in your life? You know, this might be due to your soul not being born again. Jesus said it very plainly…

John 3:7 (KJV) Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

And Jesus also said in… John 3:3 (KJV) Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

If you don’t know for sure, if you don’t know for a fact, that if you died tonight that you would go to heaven, then you must be born again. It’s not a complicated and difficult thing to do… no, it’s very very easy, and simple… believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved… this being saved is being born again… as these two scriptures tell us…

Acts 16:31 (KJV) And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

1 Peter 1:23 (KJV) Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

And this here is important to know…

Romans 10:9 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Along with this one to clarify…

Romans 10:10 (KJV) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

A simple prayer might be something that I said so long ago… “Jesus, if you’re real, here I am.”

That was a cry of my heart. I was desperate. I needed to be saved. I needed to be set free from drugs. I needed to be free of fear. After I prayed, I was saved, and set free of drug addiction, and no longer was I locked and trapped in fear! I was born again! And God called me into his service as a preacher! I’ve been saved and a preacher for over 47 years… YES, God is REAL! Jesus actually died for YOU! And heaven is for a fact… REAL!

To make this ever more direct…

“You receive eternal life by receiving Jesus Christ as your Lord and only Saviour.”

If you need help, you can reply to this letter, or ask another believer for help, there is somebody nearby that can help. Don’t be alone my friend. Okay?

Let’s finish up here…

Mark 4:29 (KJV) But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

So now the question bears asking, when is the Lord coming? There is your answer! “…when the fruit is brought forth…”

Can you see that way to many ministers and pastors get the word of God so mixed up and complicated that even their children in their own household are not saved. That’s right, there are a multitude of children in minister’s homes, and even in believer’s homes that their children are not saved! Now is that sad or what? I mean, come on saints of God, tell your children about the word of God. Teach them about the Lord Jesus Christ. Live a life worthy of God. Be a minister in your own home. How can I say this even more direct? Maybe this is it… LOOK UP! LIFT UP YOUR HEAD!

Luke 21:28 (KJV) And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

AND…

Ephesians 1:7 (KJV) In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

BEWARE…

Ephesians 4:30 (KJV) And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

FURTHER MORE…

Colossians 1:12-17 (KJV) Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Now, you have more than enough from this Sunday Prayer Letter to fill your week with the word of truth, and for preaching the gospel to every one you know. Amen?

Mark 16:15 (KJV) And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

I write this, because I love you my friend…

Only because of what Jesus has done for me…

Can I live to minister unto you…

Because I love you.

Love without reserve,

—JC.

Luke 8:47 (KJV) And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

Luke 8:48 (KJV) And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

John 15:13 (KJV) Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

AMEN.

“Believed Not”

Mark 16:14 (KJV) Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.

Greetings friend!

Let’s Pray!

“Lord Jesus, as we pray, we ask you to fill us with your Spirit. It seems like we already know what you’re going to teach us Holy Spirit, even before we ask. We humbly ask you Holy Ghost, to teach us about believing, and to teach us how to stay away from unbelief and hardness of heart, because we just read in your word of truth, Mark 16:14, that this comes from not believing the word of God, and the messengers who are ministering the word of truth. We want to believe, help our unbelief…

Mark 9:24 (KJV) And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

Luke 17:5 (KJV) And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

Ephesians 2:8 (KJV) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

2 Thessalonians 1:3 (KJV) We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

…thank you Lord Jesus. In your name Jesus, we pray. Amen.”

Today’s Sunday Prayer Letter seems to be about the hardness of people’s heart, of those that I have met throughout the week on the streets, while preaching and ministering. It’s almost like they want to believe, but then it seems to hard for them to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. It’s like I can see this happening in their heart… I suppose this is why I break down often times and cry… truly my heart breaks for souls and for lost souls… please continue praying for every person you know. This is so very important! Please keep praying brothers and sisters.

When we’re out and about, sharing and witnessing for Jesus, pray with the Holy Ghost for help. The Spirit of God knows what’s going on in each person’s life. When you partner with the Spirit, then life as a minister becomes much easier and less of a heavy burden.

This takes prayer and the word of truth being sowed into your heart. Another thing is to be holy, without spot or blemish. Sin in a believers life is what stops many believers from witnessing and ministering to lost souls, and even to the people they know… let’s all go out to do the work of an evangelist, and watch the Holy Ghost confirm the word of the Lord, as we preach and minister. Amen?

When you look at this scripture can you see that Jesus actually appeared to his disciples! There he was, the King of glory, the Lamb of God… what would you say or do if this happened to you, if you were one of the guys sitting at the table? Really?

According to this, Jesus was saying some hard words to these guys… and rightfully so, considering they had spent the last three years living with Jesus!

However, there might be something else going on here? Look at what Jesus said about not believing them which had seen him after he was risen. These people where women who also had been with Jesus for the last several years, generally speaking, not sure exactly, because the word is not clear on this part about how much time the women spent with Jesus. But it was a lot more than we may realize!

I suppose what I’m attempting to say is, many people don’t want to believe any preacher when it comes to topics they don’t like or don’t believe. Sinners don’t like preachers talking about sin. Believers don’t like preachers who talk about loving the world, or even living in sin.

In other subjects that I talk about, such as being filled with the Holy Ghost, believers don’t like that either. Believers don’t like it when preachers talk about going into all the the world and preaching the gospel. Nor, do they like preachers who talk about casting out devils, or speaking with new tongues, or even laying hands on the sick so they can recover and be healed. This can go on and on… and so, why is this such a problem? Why did Jesus upbraid his disciples? That’s right! Because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.

Unbelief and hardness of heart is a big deal, and one that needs to be taken care of in every believers heart. This hardness of heart will stop every believer from doing the work of an evangelist, being a witness for Christ, and testifying of the wonderful works of God.

All to often for me, after the Holy Ghost has proved to the people the word that I am speaking to them, they will harden their heart and not believe. It’s totally amazing to me! They say they love Jesus, but they don’t want to commit. You know the story, “I just want a little bit, but not to much, you know, I’m not a preacher like you.” “That’s your calling.” “I’m not a preacher.” “Oh, I couldn’t do that, I don’t want to tell my friends about Jesus or salvation or sin, I’d be labeled and then I couldn’t hang out with them!” “Well, you know preacher, the Holy Ghost is not for everyone.” “Preacher, don’t you know that all those gifts of the Holy Ghost ended when the last apostle died!” “And of course, Jesus is not real, don’t you know that preacher?” “You’re a stupid preacher!”

Man, I could go on for the next three pages!!! I’ve heard so many excuses, and mockeries, it’s incredible!

Now a days, I just say, “Thank you. God bless you.”

What can you say? I’ve preached all kinds of things to people over the last four decades of ministry. It doesn’t matter… why? Because people love the world and all it has to offer them. Oh well. Thank you. God bless you.

Following Jesus Christ is not for the faint of heart. Being a preacher of righteousness and holiness is the most hated work in the world. People love their sin. And why not? Their sin makes them feel “accepted and loved and desirable” …now I feel like getting mad or throwing up, this stuff makes me sick… the devil would love for me to quit… but that I will never do… I am a preacher! Preacher John is what they call me!

You know what? I don’t care if they want to live in unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not… nope, it’s their problem with the Lord. What I need to do is preach and minister and teach the word of truth and then fully allow the Holy Ghost to do his part in this ministry. Glory to God!

Do you know someone else that also gets provoked with people’s unbelief and hardness of heart?

According to scripture, it is the LORD!

Numbers 14:11 (KJV) And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believe me, for all the signs which I have shewed among them?

The Holy Scriptures have numerous examples of unbelief, there are sixteen passages of scripture talking about unbelief in the New Testament. Then in regards to harden heart, there are about thirty nine scriptures in the Old Testament, and then about nine in the New Testament. This is a serious topic… “Believe Not”… beware my friend!

Read the story in Hebrew 3:7-19 and really see and feel the fear of God from NOT Believing in the Lord Jesus Christ!

Looking again at our key text for this letter: ponder on each word and ask the Holy Ghost for his help.

If we look up in the Holy Bible, all the scriptures that only talk about the Holy Ghost, and I’m referring to looking up only the title “Holy Ghost” …because there are dozens of other names the Spirit of God goes by. You will see about eighty nine mentions of “Holy Ghost”!!!

Could it be that God wants all of us to be filled with the Holy Ghost?

Acts 2:4 (KJV) And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Does the Holy Ghost fill every believer?

Acts 4:31 (KJV) And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

Well, I could go on and on about being filled with the Holy Ghost, but what I truly want is to get your name written in the book of life!

To get your new name written in this precious book in heaven, simply believe on the Lord Jesus Christ…

Acts 16:31 (KJV) And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Acts 2:21 (KJV) And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Acts 2:38 (KJV) Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Acts 2:39 (KJV) For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.

Acts 4:12 (KJV) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Acts 8:37 (KJV) And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

Isaiah 45:22 (KJV) Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

Habakkuk 2:4 (KJV) Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

And this is where we are now…

Mark 16:16 (KJV) He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

My friend I pray this Sunday Prayer Letter is narrow…

Why you ask?

Narrow, in regards to the way…

“Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”
The Holy Bible – Matthew 7:14, King James Version.

Respectfully in the way,

—JC.

Luke 15:7 (KJV) I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

Luke 15:32 (KJV) It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

Proverbs 11:30 (KJV) The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

AMEN.

“The Prayer Of Faith”

James 5:15 (KJV) And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

Greetings my friend!

Let’s Pray!

“Holy Ghost thank you for giving us the power to pray and to pray with faith, nothing wavering. Only because of you Holy Ghost may we know that our prayers are being heard by our Father which is in heaven. Thank you for showing us and teaching us how to pray without ceasing, and to pray for our brothers and sisters in the Lord Jesus Christ, and for all the souls who have not yet been saved through Jesus Christ. The power to pray earnestly only comes from you, the Comforter abiding with us, and we abiding in you. We can do nothing of our selves. In no way do we want to pray without your power Holy Spirit. Thank you for teaching us the word of truth, and helping us to live the word, by faith. In your name Jesus, we pray. Amen.”

This Sunday Prayer Letter comes from a big desire to pray and also to teach others to pray. No ministry will ever grow without prayer. Prayer is the foundation that so many will not dig for… we who want our ministry labour to last through the ages and through the persecutions that are coming… must come from our effectual fervent prayers, by being filled with the Holy Ghost… because this is what the word of truth teaches us… look again at how Elijah prayed, and how Jesus prayed, and how Moses prayed, and how Paul prayed… it’s throughout the holy scriptures!

Yes, the Comforter is teaching and demonstrating to us… as the scripture says, “And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 2:4-5, KJV.

Can you see that without the Holy Ghost filling you with abundance, your prayers may not be as effectual as you desire. Let’s never forget about, nor limit the Spirit in our lives. In the times we live, we desperately need the Holy Ghost to be our Comforter. What does the scripture say…

Romans 5:17 (KJV) For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.

Now that I’ve got that said, which is sort of the preamble to our letter today… but could also be the entire letter! Let’s go on…

The text for this letter is actually all of James 5:13-20. I’ll just put these scriptures here and we’ll talk about them very briefly… (I’m going to highlight some key words by making them bold, these are not bold in the bible, I just want it easier for you to see what we’re talking about.)

Alright, you ready? Let’s go…

James 5:13 (KJV) Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

James 5:14 (KJV) Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

James 5:15 (KJV) And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

James 5:16 (KJV) Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

James 5:17 (KJV) Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.

James 5:18 (KJV) And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

James 5:19 (KJV) Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;

James 5:20 (KJV) Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

In the above scripture text there are about 30 bold key words, some are repeated. Each bold key word can contain power, sort of like what the Apostle John wrote, “John 21:25 (KJV) And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.”

The word of God is more powerful than we realize. One of the reasons some don’t realize the power of scripture is from the work of Satan, stealing the understanding of the word sowed in our hearts. Each of these bold key words are liken to a seed, that can be sowed in our heart, and produce after its own kind. How we do that is by asking the Comforter to teach us the word of truth. Also the Comforter will give us wisdom, understanding and knowledge concerning the truth.

The best way to explain this is how Jesus, who was filled with the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, teach us the parable of the sower here in these scriptures: Matthew 3:18-23, King James Version. You’ll need to go look them up to know what they say, okay?

Going back to the key bold words, or in other words, the seed which is sown in our hearts… let’s see how we can sow these seeds in such a way as to not let the wicked one catch away that which is sown. Amen? I like that thought!

among you afflicted… let him pray… is any merry… let him sing psalms…

When you sow seeds, they produce… here’s an example in my life… in these bold key word “seeds” I found an answer to one of my own prayers that I’ve had for many years. Looking at Paul and Silas while they were in the deep part of a prison, they prayed and sang praises unto God… then suddenly there was a great earthquake that actually shook the foundation of the prison, so much so that all the doors were opened… AND every prisoner’s bands were loosed!!! My prayer has been, what and how did they pray? And what and how did they sing praises to God? (You see the answer is not there in Acts 16:25!)

I have in my bible by James 5:13 a note that says, “Oh wow! This is the answer to Paul and Silas question. Answer dated: 6-21-2020. Also Proverbs 17:22. And also the answer for healing and deliverance is in Mark 3:15.” You see, I have lots of prayers before the Father. I just keep them there until the time is at hand and the Father reveals the answer to me. I don’t give up. I don’t quit. God never says no, when asked scripture questions. I love the Lord with all my heart!

Realize that our answers are always the scriptures themselves… the answer is NEVER our own wisdom! This is a big deal… and especially for preachers and teachers who have any pride whatsoever, or even a slight bit of the love of the world in them. This is a big deal my friend!

Here’s what the scriptures say…

Habakkuk 2:2 (KJV) And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

Joshua 1:8 (KJV) This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

We continue with these scriptures…

Habakkuk 2:3 (KJV) For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Habakkuk 2:4 (KJV) Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.

The best way to understand the word of truth is to ask the Holy Ghost to teach you, and to help you be willing and obedient to learn and to be good ground.

All to often, I as a preacher, want to teach you the scriptures, however, my teaching might be one sided… leaning towards my own experiences in life with the Holy Ghost. However, your life and your ministry may be completely different… and in that way, when the Spirit teaches you, he will personalize it to your calling and ministry.

This is the beauty of God! He loves us so much and loves us as individual miracles! We are God’s children… if you’re born again!

Let me ask you a quick and important question… If you died tonight, do you have the assurance in your heart, that you would go to heaven?

If you said yes, what do you base that answer upon?

If you said no, let’s pray!

Dear God, I confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus, and I believe in my heart that you raised Jesus from the dead. I shall be saved. Thank you Father for saving me and making me your child. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

Do you see that everything we do must lead to people getting saved? As an evangelist, my question to every one is always, are you witnessing for Christ… are you giving your testimony to people… are you preaching the gospel… are you giving and supporting preachers who preach salvation… are you doing something for the kingdom of God… OR… are you loving the world?

This is the end of the Sunday Prayer Letter, why? Because I really want you to search the scriptures and see for yourself what they say, and what the Holy Ghost will teach you.

There’s enough here in this letter to spend a good week in studying the word of truth.

Happy searching my dear friend…

I love you…

This is why I write these…

That you too will find love.

Amen.

In prayer for you,

—JC.

Psalm 5:2 (KJV) Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray.

Psalm 55:17 (KJV) Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

Romans 1:9 (KJV) For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

AMEN.

“Unstable”

James 1:8 (KJV) A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Greetings my friend!

Let’s Pray!

“Father, thank you that we can call upon you with boldness, and you don’t turn us away. We have faith that you are God! According to your word, Hebrews 11:6, you allow us to diligently seek you. For we are not ashamed of the gospel of Christ and therefore we can come boldly before your throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and ask without wavering and with faith that you truly are a rewarder of us who diligently seek you. Thank you for allowing us to seek your kingdom first. Only because of our faith and belief in the precious shed blood of our Saviour, the Son of the living God, the Lord Jesus Christ and by the power of God, the Holy Ghost may we be called the children of the most high God. Glory to God in the highest! Amen.”

My dear friend, when we pray, we must know the holy scriptures… if not, then we pray amiss and seek the Lord without the pure words of God, which gives us the faith to even go to God in prayer. With all my heart, I exhort you to study the word of truth, the Holy Bible, and know the words of God. This is the New Testament, ratified by the blood of the Lamb of God. We are forgiven and have been chosen to become the sons of God. Believe the word of the Lord!

Today’s Sunday Prayer Letter comes from a very long and filled week of preaching and ministering. The Lord Jesus has truly blessed this missionary ministry with signs following. I hear oft times when preaching, the words, prove it! However, if the Holy Ghost was to prove the gospel of Christ to that person, they still would not believe, because they ask with a double mind… one mind in the love of the world and one mind in doubt towards God. This type of man, male or female, is destined to destruction in hell and later after the judgment in the lake of fire, which is the second death.

So let me ask a rather sharp question… who do you know that is destined for this lake of fire?

May I ask another question… have you told that person about salvation through believing in Jesus Christ?

Again, may I be bold, as usual… it could be that this person that you know, has not heard this salvation message, because you don’t intercede for their soul?

And lastly, may I state that… there is no intercession for their soul because of double minded living!

James 1:8 (KJV) A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

What does this actually mean? Well, let me say this a different way, like I normally do… double minded is like…

these scriptures here…

Romans 12:2 (KJV) And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

and this one…

Romans 1:17 (KJV) For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

also another one…

Ephesians 5:18 (KJV) And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

can you see it…

1 John 2:15 (KJV) Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

there it is…

“…the love of the Father is not in him.”

Okay, so what do we do now, to repair this double minded problem?

I see the answer is in our text for this letter… James 1:2-8, KJV.

Let me make it easy, and put this passage of scriptures here in this letter…

James 1:2-8 (KJV) My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

One thing I see here in this text is the word “temptations”… I see this as God using Satan to try us and to test us and sharpen us… or possibly even, to do worse, much much worse… there are so many scriptures about falling away from the Lord. Beware my dear friend…

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.”
This is 1 Peter 5:8-9, KJV.

If Satan can get us to look away from our Lord Jesus and gaze upon the world… he knows that he has a good chance to sow the seeds of doubt and confusion and eventual unbelief that God is real.

How can I say that? This is what I hear on the streets while I’m preaching and ministering. You see, many believers never venture outside of the four walls of their church building to testify of the mighty works of God in their life. Therefore, they don’t hear what I hear. Yes, there are many soldiers of Christ who boldly go into the world of sinners and powerfully preach and minister the gospel of Christ.

Are you doing that?

Can you see what I’ve been doing in all these Sunday Prayer Letters. It’s not actually me doing it… no… it’s the Holy Ghost who is quickening you to go to work in the Lord’s harvest. God wants every one of his children to minister.

There are so many hurting people in every city in the world.

The opportunities to work for the Lord are endless…

John 4:35 (KJV) Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

Do you see that word, “behold”? Stop saying, there are yet four months, and then cometh harvest… listen… wake up… get out of bed… get dressed… get to work!

In 2020 and beyond until the Lord Jesus comes, the fields… NOW… are white already to harvest!

Therefore, lift up your eyes…

And, look on the fields…

They are ready for you my friend… yes they are!!!

James 1:8 (KJV) A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

This is the big statement here in this Sunday Prayer Letter… let’s stop being double minded… and start being…

single minded…

Matthew 6:22 (KJV) The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

and…

Matthew 6:24 (KJV) No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

here is the answer…

Matthew 6:33 (KJV) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Let’s pray… as Jesus taught us… “After this manner therefore pray ye:…”

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.

Amen.

Jesus, from the Holy Bible – Matthew 6:9-13, King James Version.

There you go my friend, this is a letter to help you, by the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, in order to edify, exhort, and comfort you in this life and its temptations. All the while…

Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

James, a servant of God, from James 1:3-8, King James Version.

With patience,

—JC.

Psalm 23:4 (KJV) Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Luke 3:5 (KJV) Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;

Luke 14:23 (KJV) And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

AMEN.

“Thus Saith The LORD”

1 Kings 17:14 (KJV) For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.

Greetings my friend!

Let’s Pray!

“Lord, how often we pray and talk with you and you talk with us! Your beauty is beyond description and your majesty more than our words can describe. We love you and desire to be with you Lord Jesus. Holy Ghost, teach us the word of truth, and all that our Saviour taught. For without the word of the Lord Jesus Christ, we perish for all eternity, give us the knowledge of salvation! Save us Lord from the temptations of this world. Teach us Holy Ghost to not desire the things of this world, but to desire the love of the Father. Fill us O Lord with your Spirit of truth. Thank you Jesus for the comfort of the Holy Ghost. For you are our Comforter, Spirit of God. And as you said in Jude, “building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.” Amen.”

Now that is one huge prayer, as I wrote it and rewrote it a little, I kept thinking… this should be the whole Sunday Prayer Letter! So many of us pray without power and without conviction, nor confidence. So many say a little prayer and end it with, in the name of Jesus, amen… and now what… where is the power of the word of the LORD?

So I’m wondering, or rather thinking about the Holy Ghost and what is going to be said in this short Sunday Prayer Letter… I’m rather exhausted from my Trinidad, Colorado preaching trip, and now it’s a little late, much later than I normally write… and all I can think of is… Holy Spirit I so wish that everyone reading this letter would simply read slowly and study diligently every word in this chapter seventeen of First Kings. Every thing that needs to be said is right there… why do I need to write a commentary on what is already written by you Holy Ghost?

Who am I to think I can say anything? I’m but a servant of Jesus Christ. I’m nobody. Help me Holy Spirit to do what it is you want me to do. I love you so very much, I feel like crying right now… again!

Lord, my heart breaks for the souls of your people. So many that I see on the streets have so little knowledge of who you truly are. Oh yes, they know your name… Jesus Christ, the Word. And then I hear them speak, and even more revealing, I hear them pray… O my Lord, please help the people.

Why do so many love this world? It’s as if, they live like this world is their eternal life. I even hear people say, this is where they will live for all eternity! The doctrine that people have in their heart is so mixed up! I hear the people speak to me while I’m on the street preaching and ministering. It’s a great place to see the world that people live in from the eyes of a street preacher. It’s nothing at all like the eyes of a four-walls preacher!

Let’s look at a couple of key pieces in this passage of holy scripture from 1 Kings 17:1-24, King James Version…

1 Kings 17:2 (KJV) “And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,”

When you have the word of the LORD come to you, there will be confirmation that what you just heard will come to pass. If not, well then… it’s not of God and maybe of flesh or your spirit or even possibly a devil?

I often hear people say this and that to me that they are quoting what the LORD had told them… and guess what? Nothing happens.

1 Kings 17:24 (KJV) “And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in thy mouth is truth.”

When you have heard the word of the LORD, and then you do what it is the LORD told of you, it will be real and be alive and will be confirmed by the Lord Jesus Christ. All this happens when you are filled with the Holy Ghost!

This is very important.

So much so, that I could ask you, was Elijah filled with the Holy Ghost?

Are you filled with the Holy Ghost?

If you are filled with the Holy Ghost… are you speaking life… or are you speaking death?

Speaking life is found in John 10:10 “…I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

Speaking death is found here also, in the first part of this scripture of John 10:10 “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:”

There are numerous examples of life and death… and the words of these… however, I really like this single little scripture: John 10:10, King James Version. Many things in life can be reduced to this simple word of the LORD!

1 Kings 17:14 (KJV) For thus saith the LORD God of Israel…

Hallelujah!

With the love of LIFE… Jesus Christ,

—JC.

Acts 7:48 (KJV) Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,

Romans 4:3 (KJV) For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

Revelation 1:8 (KJV) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

AMEN.

“Be Filled”

Acts 9:17 (KJV) And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

Greetings my friend!

Let’s Pray!

“Holy Spirit, even as we sit down to read the Holy Scriptures, it’s as if you fill us with your love and compassion. Through this love, we fall more in love with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. This simple act of being filled with the Holy Ghost is so real in scripture that you record places being shaken! Hallelujah, we praise you Holy Spirit and welcome you. Lord Jesus, fill us with your Holy Spirit. Amen.”

You see, simple and to the point prayers can be very effective for what the Spirit wants to do in our lives. By complicating and confusing the reality of the Holy Ghost, believers seem to never be filled with the Holy Ghost. Why? It seems to me that because Satan confuses them and divides their mind with doubt and questioning of the truth of the word of God, that this steals the desire to be filled with the Holy Ghost.

Our verse today is a part of a passage of scripture that tells of the story of Paul, before he became an Apostle. As you read the scriptures, you will see that all scripture is intended to teach us about God and how to live with God! Therefore, all the stories and parables and teachings can be applied to our lives. The bible is not just a history book, nor is it a mystery novel. The Holy Bible, Authorized King James Version, IS the word of God… the word of truth.

To gather the entire context of our one scripture for our Sunday Prayer Letter, read Acts 9:1-22, KJV. It’s a great story of how one man can be used of God. Do you see it? Let me tell you, there truly is very little need to go outside the Holy Bible to learn about the kingdom of God. Many say, I want to study the bible, but then go else where to read ABOUT the bible, but never truly study the Holy Bible. Do we really have to go read other books, to read about how people are used of God?

The story of Paul tells a great and mighty story that can be used in our very lives! Study it, read it, ask the Holy Ghost to teach you all about what happened during this time with Paul. You could even meditate on this passage and see how the Holy Ghost and the Lord Jesus dealt with saving Paul, and then healing Paul, and then calling Paul into ministry! Amazing!!

Let’s take a quick look at some key things in this single passage. I’ll write my comments on selected sections of this single scripture. Ready? Here we go…

1. “And Ananias went his way,” Can you see that Ananias didn’t go home and pray, If it be the Lord’s will? No. Then again, did Ananias question the Lord and doubt that he was truly hearing from the Lord Jesus? No. What Ananias did was, listened to the Lord, and then went to go do what the Lord said to do… and guess what? Ananias didn’t add nor take away anything from the request from the Lord. Yes, I know Ananias talked with the Lord, but if you read it carefully, you can see that Ananias was reasoning with the Lord, not arguing. Amen?

2. “and entered into the house;” How many times in your life have you went to go do something and you never really did it, because you were scared, or not sure if this was the right time, or maybe you said, I just don’t want to bother them right now, or you might have said, I’ll do this tomorrow, or… the excuses can be endless!

3. “and putting his hands on him said,” In every form of ministry there is something you have to do. Sometimes, you have to only speak and ministry takes place. Other times, the Holy Ghost tells you to read a certain scripture to the person. Then again, you may be led to share your testimony. But we can see clearly here that the Holy Ghost directed Ananias to put his hands on Paul (Saul). And this is EXACTLY what Ananias did! That’s how you minister by the Holy Ghost!

4. “Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus,” Can you see it? Look closely at each word here. Do you see who Ananias is? Let me tell you what I see. The fact that Ananias said Brother Saul, is to tell us that no matter how evil the reports and actual actions of Saul (Paul) where, previous to this encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ, Ananias forgave Saul and loved on Saul and even called Saul his brother! That shows and demonstrates a forgiving man filled with the Holy Ghost and doing the ministry of the Holy Ghost in real time, right before our eyes here in this scripture. Then, Ananias, even declared his salvation testimony to Saul by saying, the Lord, even Jesus. Ananias was a Spirit filled minister! A word of faith preacher! A Holy Ghost missionary! Whatever you want to say, Ananias is reported as a faithful labourer for Christ.

5. “that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest,” Once again, we can see recorded by the Holy Ghost, that Ananias didn’t add anything to the vision he saw, nor did he pervert the message of the Spirit of truth. There was no doubt in anyone’s mind that Ananias was doing the work of the ministry.

6. “hath sent me,” Do you remember the scripture that talks about how preachers are sent? I’ll put it right here… also, if you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Saviour, this would be an awesome time to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ!

Romans 10:13-17 (KJV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

7. “that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.” To do this type of ministry, you have to be filled with the Holy Ghost. The power to do the works of the ministry come not from the preacher, this needed power comes straight from the Spirit of God! Also, to do this kind of ministry, the preacher can’t be filled with the love of the world and living in sin. The preacher too, must know that God is a miracle working God and that God loves every person, no matter what they have done. We know this by what the Son of the living God did for each man, male and female, on earth… Jesus Christ died and shed his precious sinless blood for all those who would believe. And then, the Father resurrected the Word! Then the Lord Jesus was received back into heaven and is now at the right hand of the Father interceding for us all. Amen.

From this simple little passage of scripture, we can learn much about one man that God used in a unique way to serve not just the man, Saul, but to serve all of man on earth until Jesus comes. Even right now, as we read this Sunday Prayer Letter, Ananias is preaching the gospel of Christ to all who would believe.

Be filled with the Holy Ghost, my dear friend!

May the Lord Jesus love you with the love of the Father…

May you receive all your needs from the kingdom of God…

May God be REAL and ALIVE in your life!

In Jesus name. Amen.

With the love of the Holy Ghost,

—JC.

Psalm 40:1 (KJV) I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

Proverbs 16:20 (KJV) He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJV) The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

AMEN.

“One Language”

Genesis 11:1 (KJV) And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

Hebrews 11:1 (KJV) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Greetings my friend!

Let’s Pray!

“Holy Spirit, we are so amazed at how you move and teach us the word of the Lord. So often Holy Spirit we turn to ourselves and to man to learn from, however, you want us to turn to you and allow Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God to fill us with the Spirit of God, the Comforter, which is you Holy Ghost! Thank you so very much for pulling us all together and giving us one language, and one speech. We can see, hear, and understand that being of one accord is what you want of us. This is truly amazing! We welcome you Holy Spirit into our hearts. In Jesus name, our Lord and only Saviour. Amen.”

Isn’t that prayer something? How often is it that we don’t know what to pray? Is it our will or the will of God that we pray certain prayers? It seems to me, that if we are diligent in study of the word of truth, then our prayers are unique and filled with faith, and anointed by the Holy Ghost!

Today’s Sunday Prayer Letter is a little different than usual. Not sure why yet, except the Holy Spirit, when I asked about this letter today, said to write on “Pentecost”… I said, oh really, okay!

The reason I was amazed was, I have been in First John for the last several weeks and just figured that is what I would write for today… (As you know, I write these Sunday Prayer Letters on Saturday afternoons after a few hours of prayer, the word, and time with the Spirit of truth.) However, the Holy Ghost had other plans… isn’t that wonderful? It’s wonderful because we are not alone, we are filled with the Spirit of God!

We are God’s children, that is if you are born-again? Are you born-again? Do you know, for a fact: the correct answer to this question? Do you have the assurance in your heart, that if you died tonight, that you would go to heaven? Do you know Jesus Christ as your Saviour? Are you saved?

Salvation is simple.

You might ask, “What must I do to be saved?”

Hey, that’s a good honest question!

This is what almighty God says to do… are you ready for the answer… here it is… “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” yep, that is straight from the word of God… Acts 16:61, KJV.

Acts 2:21 (KJV) And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Pray a simple or complex prayer in your own words… Jesus will save you. Then get into the bible… specifically, the King James Bible… not any other, just do this by faith, and ask the Holy Ghost to teach you the Holy Bible. (If you need more help, you can respond to this letter or this ministry, and we’ll reach out to you. Amen?)

Praise the Lord! Back to our letter with a new believer in the kingdom of heaven. Hallelujah!

These next several scriptures are what many Pentecostal people use, however, there may be more here than we realize.

Acts 2:1 (KJV) And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

Acts 2:2 (KJV) And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

Acts 2:3 (KJV) And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

Acts 2:4 (KJV) And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Let’s put a few more scriptures here to get a bigger picture, then we’ll put it all together and see what the Holy Spirit is teaching us… please remember, that your communion with the Holy Ghost is more important that reading this letter. By all means, if you don’t have time, stop here… and give your time to the Holy Ghost. (2 Corinthians 13:14 (KJV) The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.)

The following selection of scriptures are for a foundation to begin understanding SOME things about the Holy Ghost, who is a part of the Godhead. (Read First John Five Seven and Acts Seventeen Twenty Nine.)

Ezekiel 37:4-5 (KJV) Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

Joel 2:28 (KJV) And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

Matthew 5:14 (KJV) Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

John 8:12 (KJV) Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

John 16:7-15 (KJV) Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Acts 2:4 (KJV) And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Jude 1:20 (KJV) But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

Jude 1:21 (KJV) Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Without going into a lot of detail, which is easy for me to do, the best thing for you to do right now, is re-read the scriptures in this letter.

Why do I ask you to do that?

Romans 12:1-2 (KJV) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Titus 3:4-5 (KJV) But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Do you see what’s going on here in this letter? The Holy Ghost wants you to read and study for yourself all the scriptures that pertain to what it means to be filled with the Holy Ghost. It’s as if, the Spirit is restricting me to write more on this, but rather directing you to search the scriptures for yourself, along with the help of the Holy Ghost.

I can only do what the Spirit of truth wants me to do. I don’t add, nor do I take away, and I don’t twist or manipulate the message from God.

That’s it… wow, I can hardly believe it… this is the easiest letter I’ve written I think!

My friend, please give some of your time to searching out these scriptures that are here in this Sunday Prayer Letter.

By the power of the Holy Ghost,

—JC.

Genesis 1:2 (KJV) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Revelation 11:11 (KJV) And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

AMEN.

“Love The World”

1 John 2:15 (KJV) Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Greetings my friend!

Let’s Pray!

“Holy Spirit thank you for giving unique and certain gifts each one of us for your use. We pray that we may be used of you in all that you are doing in the world today. Many times we seek the kingdom of God, but we don’t truly want you. How sad Holy Spirit that many believers look at you as a thing or an it or something that doesn’t even exist. I feel like crying now, because I love you so very much Holy Spirit. I ask that you comfort each one of us in such a way that brings the reality of you into their heart. Thank you Jesus for allowing us to call on your name and pray. Amen.”

That’s kind of an unusual prayer, it just came out of me, and was quite emotional too. I think that without the Holy Ghost in a believers life, and what I mean by that is, they are filled with the Holy Ghost… not just the baptism of being placed into the family of God by the Spirit; that’s what happens when someone becomes born again by receiving Jesus Christ as their Saviour. This is nearly impossible for us to conceive of how this works. We just simply leave it in God’s hands and believe by faith. God knows what he’s doing. Hallelujah!

This Sunday Prayer Letter is also based upon the book of FIRST JOHN. I’ve been in this particular book for about two weeks, maybe longer, but of course I’ve studied it numerous times through the years. I see it as one hundred percent meat. God uses the words, milk and meat, to signify the type of word it is. For example:

1 Corinthians 3:2 (KJV) I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

Hebrews 5:12-14 (KJV) For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

1 Peter 2:2 (KJV) As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

Therefore this letter is mostly meat, maybe some milk thrown in to help… I’m kind of smiling while I wrote that, because I really never know what the Holy Ghost is going to write in the following lines. My dear friend, be full of faith and allow the Spirit of God to fill you and to overflow with righteousness the borders of your life. In Jesus name. Amen.

Here’s a couple key verses to wake you up, if you’re asleep in the Lord… not you my friend, but whoever is, that is reading this letter right now…

Psalm 78:22 (KJV) Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:

Psalm 78:32 (KJV) For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.

Psalm 78:35 (KJV) And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.

Psalm 78:41 (KJV) Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.

I think the reason this letter is moving like it is, could be the title… “Love The World”… maybe the Holy Ghost is attempting to get someone’s attention to their life and the way they are living right now? This is why I don’t try to be the pastor who knows it all… I’m nothing and am only a servant of the most high God. Praise God for that! I work for the “Boss” and he knows who needs what.

Let’s get on with the scriptures for this Sunday Prayer Letter.

1 John 2:15 (KJV) Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Before I put some more scripture here, take a look at the words, “love the world”… I hear people say that the King James is to hard to read… could it be that they “love the world”… I don’t know? But the simple little words of “love the world” seem pretty simple to understand to me. How about you?

Okay, obviously I’m not telling people to love the world, no way! I just want to get attention drawn to the word of truth. Read and study the Holy Bible, Authorized King James Version. Get into the milk first, if you’re a babe in Christ, and then second into the meat, if you are living by faith and keeping God’s commandments… then by all means, get to consuming the meat of God’s holy word.

The context per se is three scriptures… 15, 16, 17 in First John Two. Let me put them here…

1 John 2:15 (KJV) Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

1 John 2:16 (KJV) For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

1 John 2:17 (KJV) And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

1. Love not the world. Why love the world and all it has to offer when right here God tells us not to love the world? Why is it that believers feel as if they need to follow the world and love the world? I mean, I too loved the world, but I don’t now. Why? I know to much! Before, I was stupid or ignorant to what God said in his word. I loved the world! NOT ANY MORE.

2. Neither the things that are in the world. This appears clearly written to me. I suppose this could be a problem with believers who don’t study the word of truth. Maybe they read it like a novel, a mystery, a drama, or maybe a play that was once on Broadway?

3. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. Once again, I can’t for the life of me see how this could be confusing and difficult to understand. When a believer says something in regards to how bad the King James Bible is, or some form of critic of the KJV, then they could have other problems, because this bible has been around and extremely popular for over 400 years! That’s a long time! Beware of listening to people who hate the King James Bible. This is God’s word… and has been for millions and millions of believers for centuries. Millions of people have received Jesus Christ as their Saviour from this bible. The history is most fascinating. I encourage anyone to really do some research into why the King James Bible and it’s history.

4. For all that is in the world. Here the Lord is going to give us a little list of key items to look for in our life… and possibly in the lives of our friends and family. Just saying?

5. The lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. Right there are the three big categories in the world that captures every man’s attention, male and female. Without going into to much detail, simply and slowly read each category and think about it and think about your own life. We could do a search for each area and see what other scriptures there are, and we could pray to God and ask for his help, and then we could also take a look at our life goals and vision to see if they too are within these three categories. If you do find your stuff somewhere in or alongside or near any of these three… my tough suggestion would be, dump it, now!

6. Is not of the Father, but is of the world. Can you see how important the Father regards these three key categories? Because if someone is not of the Father, they are of the world. The scriptures are extremely clear that the only way to the Father is through Jesus Christ. And to be even more clear, Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God. Without God, without the blood of the Lamb, that is the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world… heaven will NOT be your eternal home, ever! So therefore, I urge every single person reading this letter to come out of the world. In Jesus name. Amen.

7. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof. This is good news… and of course, it could be bad news for anyone who is living in the lust of the world, and in other words, “Love The World” …again, beware!

8. But he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. Here it is… the real key to living for God… doing the will of God. What is the will of God? Well, there are about 23 New Testament scriptures talking about the will of God… here is the one I use most of the time: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV) In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

To recap on this last point, number eight: Give thanks for everything in your life. Thanks is NOT complaining, murmuring, or even being an accuser. If you’re interested, you could go over to Galatians 5:19-21, KJV to read a short list of the works of the flesh.

To help in all these matters, ask the Holy Spirit to help you. Don’t limit the Spirit, don’t quench the Spirit, don’t grieve the holy Spirit of God. This is an entire topic that is huge and very vast in the word of God. The Holy Ghost is God. Look at 1 John 5:7, KJV.

Alright my friend, this is the end of this Sunday Prayer Letter.

May the Lord bless you…

May the Lord be with you…

May the Lord be in you…

In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.

The Love of God by the Holy Ghost,

—JC.

Romans 8:37 (KJV) Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Romans 8:38 (KJV) For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

Romans 8:39 (KJV) Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

AMEN.

“Sin Is Of The Devil”

1 John 3:8 (KJV) He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Greetings my friend!

Let’s Pray!

“Lord, this is such a big topic, we need your help and your Spirit. Jesus, we know you too were tempted of the devil and that you overcame him. Help us to overcome the devil. Give us the power to resist the devil. We know your word and what it says, however without your Holy Spirit it seems impossible to be holy and pure. Thank you Lord Jesus for hearing our cry for help. Thank you for providing us your word. Thank you for sending the Comforter to teach us all the things you taught. What a beautiful thing it is to praise you Lord Jesus! Thank you. Amen.”

This is has been an awesome week of ministry and a great opportunity to resist the devil! Amen.

Please know that I’m not writing this letter because I sinned… no, nor am I writing this letter because I know of someone that sinned this week… no, nor am I writing this letter because we as believers can’t seem to be holy… no, and so you ask why are you writing?

Glad you asked! (smiling) This letter has more to do with the entire 3rd chapter of First John than just this topic of sin. When I’m on the streets preaching and ministering, being holy and full of the light of God is critical for ministry. Being out on the streets, where the sinners are, becomes a mine field of sin.

I see to often, every day, enormous opportunities to sin and live for the devil, or at least to turn for a moment your back on the Lord. Beware my friend! The devil knows how to tempt you and he knows your weaknesses. And because of this, this might be the real reason why this letter of “Sin Is Of The Devil” and why the Holy Ghost wanted me to write it.

So, lets get on with it… let’s go over just a few of the scriptures that relate directly to our title for this Sunday Prayer Letter… actually, please study the entire chapter. Blessings my friend!

1 John 3:8 (KJV) He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

1 John 3:9 (KJV) Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

1 John 3:10 (KJV) In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

1 John 3:11 (KJV) For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

It’s almost like I don’t have to write anything, because it’s all right there in front of us! Praise the Lord!

Believers really need to slow down when reading the scriptures… at least some times. Every word of God is pure, and it has within it the power to set us free! Do you believe that? Does God’s word, the Holy Bible, King James Version, truly contain the very words of God? Can we truly know the word of God? Is God hiding things from us? Does God truly want us to know his word?

All good questions and ones that really need to be answered. When questions like these are asked, what is actually being asked is about your relationship with Jesus Christ.

We’ll go over a few keys to understanding these unique scriptures.

1 John 3:8 (KJV) He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

To better understand sin, let’s go over to… Genesis 4:7 (KJV) If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

This is the very first time that God mentioned the word, sin. It’s sort of like, do well.. no sin; do not well… sin. Pretty simple!

Doing well refers to doing what God said to do! That’s about as simple as it can get. Therefore, we need to know what it is God wants us to do. Can you see how, by simply studying the word of God, we can have all our questions about life answered. And by going to teachers, and minsters, and the clergy… oh boy, that’s a big one… we will get their answer. Then the next question is: who are we going to listen to for our life advice and direction? That’s an obvious answer… we will go to God and his word. Done!

There is so much to talk about… but this is just a letter and not a course in the word of God! Amen?

1 John 3:9 (KJV) Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Right there is a main key to knowing God and what God wants from us. To know God, we must be born again. If you don’t know Jesus Christ, or you don’t know for sure if you would go to heaven if you died tonight… simply call out God… “Jesus, if you’re real, here I am.”

This is such a controversial topic with modern Christians, they fully believe that it is impossible to live without sin. How sad. It is possible, if not, then why did God put it in his word?

It is possible to live everyday without sin. Yes, I realize that sin does get in… and if so, we immediately repent and ask Jesus to wash us with his blood. This is why many Christians live in sin. They don’t understand, nor are taught in this modern bible era about the blood of the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

1 John 3:10 (KJV) In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

As I am writing this letter, my neighbor is living for the devil. I am trying to live for God. The two of us are in two different worlds. The devil in the neighbor is active and real and is destroying his life. But, when the devil is your father, then it is all you know. When God is your Father, then that is what you know.

My friend, get the devil out of your life. The devil has no authority in a believers life, therefore do something about it! What can we do about it? Well, I’ve prayed, I’ve text, and now I just pounded on his door and told him face to face about his destructive sounds that he calls music. I got angry. I sinned. Now, what do I do? I ask Jesus to forgive me, and wash me of this sin… and I lift up to you Lord, my new neighbor. I bind the devil in his life and I loose the Lord’s angels to minister according to the word of God. Thank you Lord. Amen.

1 John 3:11 (KJV) For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

Do we love the people who live for the devil? Do we love everybody? Is this what God is asking of us?

There is a scripture that I use almost every day, “For God so loved the world, the he gave…” (John 3:16, KJV) This might mean, God loves every single person on the planet. Jesus did die for every person who would believe. Does Jesus love sin? Obviously, no!

Can you see how difficult of a message this is and why so many don’t bother teaching on this topic? I’m having trouble right now… partly so due to this new neighbor. Lord please help me and I pray in your name Jesus that he moves to another apartment, quickly. I pray something out of the ordinary would happen to him, and cause him to move, all based on you Lord. Thank you for helping and taking care of this amazing situation. In your name Jesus. Amen.

You see, if the Lord Jesus Christ is truly your God, then trust the Lord and don’t trust yourself nor your own understanding and trying to figure things out on your own. God knows what is going on. Talk to God. Make talking to God the first thing you do… every day!

Just now, I could feel the peace of God coming to me and in me. God knows who moved in next door. God knows where he put me to live. Wow! The peace of God truly does help… and help greatly! By living in this peace of God… it might be well, because we may not sin. Amen.

Philippians 4:7 (KJV) And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Colossians 3:15 (KJV) And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Peace my friend and thank you for reading this odd letter. It has been a crazy day, and not a lot of rest in the Lord. All is good. Amen.

Peace in JESUS,

—JC.

Psalm 34:14 (KJV) Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

Psalm 120:7 (KJV) I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

John 5:14 (KJV) Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

1 Corinthians 15:34 (KJV) Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

AMEN.

“Bless The LORD”

Psalm 34:1 (KJV) I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Greetings!

Let’s Pray!

“Lord Jesus, thank you for giving us life. Thank you for all that you do for us. Thank you for your continual intercession for us. Thank you for loving us so much that you gave yourself to all that would believe. Thank you for giving us power to believe. Lord Jesus, there is so many things that we could say thank you for… the list is endless! We love you Jesus. Amen.”

Today is a short prayer, a short letter and a short read… this week has been so busy with preaching and ministering, that today I’m exhausted. I’m sorry.

However, this one Psalm is one that truly touches every one of us. When was the last time you read through this Psalm?

It’s not just the first verse, it’s the entire Psalm!

Psalm 34:1 (KJV) I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Immediately we can see by reading the first two words, this could be something that we need today. Yes.

“I will” Is and has power within the words to move your spirit. This is an act of your will. God will not do it for you. It is not automatic. You need to act. This is powerful my friend!

“bless the LORD” This can be hard to understand… how can I bless Almighty God? Who am I? I’m nobody… save the Lord Jesus Christ! And then, how do I bless you Lord? I think this is something that each of us should go to in prayer and ask the Holy Ghost to help us… yes, to help us to bless the LORD. Amen?

“at all times:” Now, I know this seems rather obvious… however, how many of us actually do this… “at all times”…? For me, it’s something like every hour that I’m awake I want to be praying and thanking the Lord. I don’t use a watch, but years ago, I did sort of keep track of how many times a day I prayed and thanked the Lord. It came up to an average of every hour I prayed! That seems absurd in today’s world… but remember, I was a trucker living life in a small cubicle going down the road all by myself. For forty years I drove and covered three million miles… now, that is a lot of alone time and a lot of time to pray. For the majority of people this is not possible, due to filling their life up with the world. Because, I too, could have filled my world in the truck with the world… but I chose not to. My truck was a rolling church and a university on wheels!

Now as I’m retired and preaching and ministering on the streets, amazingly so… I have found time in my life to actually continue my life of prayer!

I still pray and thank the Lord every hour!

How accurate is this? I’m not quite sure… but I stand before the Lord Jesus and ask for his help and favour to do this type of lifestyle. I don’t live for this world… I live for Jesus Christ!

“his praise shall continually be in my mouth.” You see, if God didn’t think it was possible for us to do his word… especially right here… then I don’t think the Lord would have written these words in Psalm 34:1… or any of his word!

God is not going to give his children something that he knows is impossible to do! I hear so many people on the streets tell me how impossible it is to do the will of God. They have so many stories of why they can’t. I just say to them… “Well, God bless you!” or “Thank you for your decision. God bless you man!” That’s it.

I don’t really care if they don’t want to love God. There’s nothing I can do to make people love God. That’s the Holy Spirit’s job… and I, in no way, want to do the Spirit’s work… I’m nobody but a servant of the most high God. Hallelujah for that!

But this is me, not you. So then, what is it that you do my friend? My dear friend, there is something going on in your life that always requires you to bless the LORD at all times and his praise to continually be in your mouth. That’s just life as a believer! We already know that people who don’t know Christ as their Saviour, that this is not possible, nor is it required of them. Without salvation through Jesus Christ they’re going to hell for eternity. Wow, that’s sobering. Isn’t it?

Let’s do this then… let’s go out where the sinners are, and telling them about this… that Jesus Christ is a loving God who shed his precious blood and died and rose again on the third day just for them! JUST FOR THEM! That’s how much God loves that person… why not go tell it to them? They don’t have to believe it… that’s not required… they don’t have to do anything… they are totally free to go straight to hell. Heaven is not for everybody! Heaven is not for every person born on earth! Heaven is only for those who call out to JESUS CHRIST to save them. Just like I did 47 years ago! I just called or rather cried out… “Jesus, if you’re real, here I am.” And guess what? Jesus saved this wretched soul from eternal damnation! PRAISE YOU JESUS! I LOVE YOU JESUS! THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME!

Thank you Jesus.

There you go buddy… may the LORD touch your life with the awesomeness of heaven!

Now go tell somebody…

It’ll be just fine.

Respectfully in JESUS,

—JC.

Psalm 34:1 (KJV) I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Psalm 34:2 (KJV) My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

Psalm 34:3 (KJV) O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

Psalm 34:4 (KJV) I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

AMEN.

“The Light Of The Bod”

Matthew 6:22 (KJV) The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

Matthew 6:23 (KJV) But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

Greetings my dear friend!

Let’s Pray!

“Heavenly Father, thank you for being so kind to us, by sending your only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. With our Saviour Jesus Christ, we who believe on his name shall be saved. Lord Jesus, you are our door that we may go in and out and find pasture. Our hearts are filled with the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. Yes, Father, unto the coming of our Lord and Saviour, we wait. And it’s only by you Holy Spirit, that we can even wait as we do, for the hope of righteousness by faith. Yes, because the just shall live by faith. Amen.”

Oh boy, you know we sometimes just don’t know what to pray for… even as I began this little prayer, my spirit was searching and seeing the majesty of Almighty God… I even now want to weep for the hope of glory that I see not to far off. My friend, I pray that God is so close to you that you too can weep for joy because of your hope in the Lord. Amen?

You see, if we don’t know who we pray to, nor who God even is… then how can we possibly live by faith? Do you live by faith? Or would this question be better put if I said, Do you live by sight? Do you need to see God before you can believe that he is? These are critical questions that will show you where you are in your life.

However, all to often we are not interested in the Father, or the Word, or the Holy Ghost, because… well, because we can’t see God!

Do we actually need to see God to believe in God?

Is faith that important?

Can we just simply live our life as if God doesn’t matter?

How often do we need to even think about God?

Why can’t we just be who we are… without God?

These are tough questions for me to write, because I have a young man who’s name is Lance on my mind right now, and has been on my mind since Friday when I was Nederland, Colorado. The Third Friday of the Month I travel to Ned to banner preach and minister. I met Lance for the second time. We’ve even sent text messages and have spent much time in conversation and prayer. My heart is heavy right now.

Let’s take a quick look at our two scriptures for this Sunday Prayer Letter.

Matthew 6:22 (KJV) The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

Matthew 6:23 (KJV) But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

“The light of the body is the eye…” Here we can see that Jesus is talking about our spirit. By knowing scripture, we can know that the word “light” in this context means or refers to our spirit. And that the “eye” refers back to our spirit… the light. Yes, the light of the world is Jesus Christ. However, we too are “the light of the world” as per Matthew 5:14. And then in John 8:12, Jesus said of himself, “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

When I did a search for the word, “eye” there are 549 Old Testament references to a mix of this word, and in the New Testament there is 108 references to this unique word. Now to me, I would think that God too thinks this word “eye” is important! How about you?

In fact, the very first time in scripture that the word “eye” is mentioned is by non other than Satan himself! Now what do you think about that word?

Satan used that word “eye” to begin deceiving Eve. And this is why the young lad named Lance is on my mind.

When we take our eye off of our Saviour Jesus Christ and put our eye on this world, guess what happens? Well, I think you know.

Lance took his eye off of his Saviour and put his eye on Satan. It only took 30 days or less to completely capture Lance and take him into captivity. Pray for Lance if you would like. But for me, I’m just going to let Satan have his way with Lance. Possibly, by the will of God, Lance will be saved from what Satan is going to be doing to Lance. How sad. But to people who don’t take God serious, this is what happens. Yep, when you play around with this world, the world will own you!

“If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.” Take a serious note of the word “single” and see what happens next. Also take some thought on the word “single” and see if you can come up with other scripture that relates to being single… hint hint… think about adultery. If you think correctly, you should recognize the fear of God. This is serious stuff and not to be taken lightly… as in heavy.

Briefly speaking, “single” would be that Jesus Christ is your Lord and ONLY Saviour! Outside of Jesus Christ is darkness and GREAT is that darkness. Being inside of Jesus Christ is light and being FULL of light. This stuff is very important my friend!

“But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.” There is a parallel from “single” to “evil” that can sometimes catch us off guard. What I mean is that when believers read the word of truth as a novel or speed-read the scriptures, great holes can develop in the understanding of God’s word. Always, read and study the truth with the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost. The Spirit of truth will teach you all things about Jesus Christ. There is no man on earth that has ALL the knowledge of God. When believers study the word by using a man, instead of the Spirit, to teach them, then bad things happen. Not in the beginning… but trouble will arise when lest expected. And if much time has passed, then the fruit of error of the word of truth will be great. This is why we see so many Christians in false doctrines and even in doctrines of devils. How can this be?

What does the scriptures say? This is what it says:

Colossians 2:20-23 (KJV) Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (Touch not; taste not; handle not; Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

1 Timothy 4:1-2 (KJV) Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

Let’s go on before I get angry at what people do to themselves, by ignoring Jesus Christ.

“If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!” This is the one section of this reading of scripture that really gets me every time. Mainly the last part, “how great is that darkness!” Isn’t that amazing? It’s not just dark as in black or void or empty… no it’s GREAT DARKNESS!

Did you notice that Jesus wasn’t asking a question about darkness? No, he was describing an awe of just how dark it will be… outer darkness! Look at these three scriptures…

Matthew 8:12 (KJV) But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 22:13 (KJV) Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 25:30 (KJV) And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Now that I’ve written some scary stuff here, the key I really want you to understand and see is this: If you believe that hell is real… how many people in your life are you warning? How many?

Let’s all think hard about this Sunday Prayer Letter. Yes, realize that many people you warn or tell about Jesus Christ will not receive it and call you an idiot and stupid and a fool. Can you take the mockery and ridicule to warn them of hell and what awaits ALL, if they don’t become born again by receiving Jesus Christ as their Lord and only Saviour?

Just ask a single, simple, blunt, and bold question. Don’t be afraid to ask, because if you don’t ask… who will?

Here’s the question: “If you died tonight, do you have the assurance in your heart, that you would go to heaven?”

My friend, I’m not playing with my ministry, nor am I playing with God. I’m at the last season of my life. I was born in 1953… this is my 67th year. I’m working hard in this season, and believing the Lord for a good strong 10 more years of hard ministry labour. By the will of God, I’m working to touch 10 million people for heaven. If it is possible, to receive a tithe on this number, then that would be 1,000,000 people in heaven because I lived. Know that this does not include the previous 40 plus years of ministry. I’ve dedicated my entire retirement years fully to serving Jesus Christ, nothing held back and nothing in this world do I want. If you are not serving as a soul winner or an evangelist, why not consider working with me or partnering with me in some way. Simply ask God what it is he wants you to do. Then only do that thing!

May today and every day, by the will of God, be a blessed day in your life, my friend!

Respectfully in JESUS,

—JC.

Isaiah 32:17 (KJV) And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

Hebrews 10:22 (KJV) Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.

Luke 23:42-43 (KJV) And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

AMEN.

“Even so, come, Lord Jesus…”

Even So, Come, Lord Jesus

Revelation 22:20 (KJV) He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Greetings my friend!

Let’s pray!

“Lord, when you where telling the Apostle John of all the things you told him, as recorded in Revelation, one thing keeps coming to me as I minister. And that is your last words of testimony, “Surely I come quickly.” And then John went on and wrote, by inspiration: Even so, come, Lord Jesus. These words seem to echo inside of me. Thank you for coming for me, and for all of us who believe, by faith. My heart longs to be with you, Lord Jesus. Now, together we pray: Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Amen.”

Such a short little prayer, but oh so powerful to us who have the power of God to believe and to receive all that God has for us. In prayer, wonderful things happen that won’t happen anywhere else. I so pray that you, my friend, stay in prayer, never ceasing. Because in prayer, your answers will come. Why? Because Jesus is the answer. It’s just that, some times, we don’t recognize our Lord and Saviour. Think on that for awhile.

Revelation 22:20 (KJV) He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

This is the tiny verse that can move mountains in your life, and well, in my life too! You see, for the past year or maybe one and a half years, I’ve listened to all 22 chapters of Revelation every night as I fall asleep. And this is like, 7 nights a week… I don’t think I’ve missed a handful of days in the last year and a half. Let’s see, that is probably over 500 times that I’ve heard Revelation. That’s a lot!

Yea, I suppose the first thing that popped into your mind was, “Wow, John must know Revelation really well!”

Wouldn’t it be nice for me to say, well of course… wouldn’t you, if you went through this 22 chapter book, about 500 times!

Guess what? I still have no clue as to what Revelation is actually telling. I know, I can hear it now, well of course John, you were sleeping! I’m smiling now, and sort of chuckling to myself, because I think I’ve probably said something like that, oh let’s say, 500 times! Yea, God has humor… and he knows how to laugh! Praise the Lord!

When I hear preachers describe Revelation now a days… I sort of scratch my head and wonder, have they actually studied this book? Because, it sure doesn’t sound like it! Now of course, years ago, I too would marvel at their wisdom and understanding of such a complex and intricate essay of writings that baffle the body of Christ. But not anymore.

Something happened to me a few years ago. It was in 2017, April 23rd, Sunday morning, about 10 AM, the day after I retired. I was in Redding, California in my little four-plex apartment at Sandpointe. I have lived here for over 12 years. I had been out of Boulder for 14 years. All the while thinking that God would never send me back to Boulder. I thought I had failed. On this day, I had just finished my morning prayer time and morning coffee. I stood up, with my chair in my hands while placing it in the middle of the living room, where I was seated; and said something like, “Well, it’s time to get going.” What I was referring to was, packing up my house and moving to Boulder. I had not done one single thing in preparation for this big move. Nope. I just lived like I was going to live in Redding for the rest of my life. Went to work and came home, day after day. Of course I still preached anywhere and to anyone who would listen. But in 9 months, since God called my back to Boulder for the 7th time, I had done nothing. Today was different.

What happened next is still a mystery of sorts to me, however in a simple statement, the Holy Ghost placed his “gift of faith” on me. At this time, in this letter, I will not be detailing the immediate results of this “gift of faith” the Holy Ghost put on me. Some other time, maybe. Because it’s dramatic.

What I do want to say in regards to this “gift of faith” is in this letter and about Revelation and about this last testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ. “Surely I come quickly.”

However, let’s actually jump over to the next sentence. “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”

Revelation 22:20 (KJV) He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

This sentence, or I suppose you could say, scripture… “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” Has been like a lighted lantern waving up on a hill and me looking for it and seeing it, I get excited and I know what is going to happen next. It’s because I’m apart of what is going to happen next. This knowing has been an answer to my ministry. For the reason is within this “gift of faith” which has given me power to keep moving. Yes, I know I still get tired and rest and take days off. However, that’s normal because I still live in a body. The “gift of faith” sort of comes and goes as the need arises. But it is real.

Never in my 4 decades of serving the Lord Jesus, have I witnessed this “gift of faith”… I’m struggling right now to continue writing, because I know that most will never witness this gift of the Holy Ghost. And that’s fine, because I hadn’t either.

The key I would like to give to you is in the scripture, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”

When you are living your life, have these words and the truth of them fixed firmly in your mind. This will help you in knowing the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16 (KJV) For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

Fixing firmly, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” in your mind, will also help you in the renewing of your mind. Romans 12:2 (KJV) And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Some how, when you come to this absolute knowing that Jesus is most definitely coming, such as in our scripture for this Sunday Prayer Letter, your life and it’s plans seem to become straight and narrow and filled, in such a way as to help you walk through your life without loving the world, without building a worldly estate, and without the pride and lust of this present world. One of the great benefits is you won’t set up idols in your life. This is a big one!

Oh boy, I just opened a big door into many lives. To bad, man. God knows what is going on. Yes.

Needless to say, that is where we are not going right now. Let’s go back into our scripture, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” Think on these next few scriptures:

2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Ephesians 1:18 (KJV) The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

Colossians 1:21 (KJV) And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled

Colossians 1:22 (KJV) In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

Colossians 3:10 (KJV) And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

And for me personally, this is the big one…

Romans 13:14 (KJV) But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

By knowing the reality of the coming of the Lord Jesus, we can ask the Holy Ghost to help us to live our life according to this knowledge. If we don’t ask, we don’t receive. Receiving from God, his wisdom, understanding, and knowledge; is not automatic because you are saved through Jesus Christ. Many think that is true. But ask them again in 5 or 10 years, after they have not studied the word of truth, nor led one single person to salvation, or have done anything for the kingdom of God; if they are now filled with God’s knowledge? I think we know the real answer.

One of the items that I pray for is that you, my friend, will receive from the Lord all that he has for you. That the Spirit will open your eyes to see, your ears to hear, and give you a heart to understand. This is one reason why I write every week this Sunday Prayer Letter. How sad, when people that get these letters and never read them, never open the letter, just ignore them, and even get off my mailing list. Sad. Yes. Oh well.

My friend, may the eyes of your understanding be opened…

…may you know the will of God in your life… and also,

produce abundant fruit for God’s Kingdom. Amen.

Matthew 6:33 (KJV) But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Abundantly in Jesus,

—JC.

Psalm 27:4 (KJV) One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.

Amos 5:14 (KJV) Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.

Hebrews 11:6 (KJV) But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

AMEN.

“The word of Christ…”

The Word Of Christ

Colossians 2:8 (KJV) Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

vs.

Colossians 3:16 (KJV) Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Greetings my dear friend!

Let’s pray!

“Thank you Lord for giving your people the word of Christ. Without your word how could we live and serve and love you? Only by your love for each one of us are we even able to come to you with our prayers today. It’s your grace Lord that we overcome and are even able to call upon your name. Even now as we pray, we ask for the fullness and richness of the word of Christ to dwell within us. We are humbled to even consider this prayer, with boldness we approach the throne of God to request such a petition. Oh Lord, you are our Saviour. And in your name Jesus we humbly pray. Amen.”

For some reason, when I pray, such as this little prayer we just prayed, I am overwhelmed with God’s love. I so pray that you too my dear friend, is touched with God’s beautiful love for you.

How many times have we done something without the thought of love?

When we, as ministers of Christ, go out to witness and give our testimony or our story about Jesus; let’s remember that it is through love that we share. Let’s remember that hate is not apart of our life… as ministers, and we all are ministers, if you’re born-again, you are.

The question then arises, how can we love people who are so filled with anger or hate or emptiness? How can we love people who worship this world or idols or devils? How can we reach out to people with love? How can we truly be ministers of Christ, if we have not love?

These are questions that often arise in my heart when I’m on the streets ministering to the multitudes of people who pass by my preaching banner. I stand for about 30 hours a week at 6 different corners per week; preaching in the Holy Ghost intercession for every single soul that passes me by.

Yes, many many people stop and ask questions, converse with me, and even pray with me. I give all that I have to every one… I hold nothing back, I give my whole heart to every soul, all with the hope that the Holy Ghost will convict their soul to receive salvation in the Lord Jesus, or whatever else they are seeking from the Lord.

I so depend fully upon the ministry of the Holy Ghost that when I find or see others who pay little to no attention to the Holy Ghost, I marvel and wonder why, why? Why do ministers not fully rely and lean on the Holy Spirit for all their ministry?

The Holy Ghost is God! The Spirit of God is not an object or a thing that has no life. This is what Satan tells or teaches people. Why? Because that is what idols are… empty… vain… lifeless… unresponsive… with out heart or love… with out light… in great darkness. Beware my fellow ministers of the whiles of Satan. Beware.

These two scriptures are similar and opposite… can you see it?

Colossians 2:8 (KJV) Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

vs.

To fully understand these two scriptures, take lots of time and meditate on each word in these lines of words and see if you can grasp the depth or even the mystery of the riches of the word of Christ.

If I write here and tell you what I see, that would be fine, and that would also rob you of the riches that the Holy Ghost is able to reveal to you, personally, just for you!

This is a difficult letter to write today and one that I’ve hesitated to write due to its enormity. However, I fully trust the Holy Ghost, in that he knows exactly who is going to give their time to consider this word of Christ.

I’m actually going to end here, and let the remaining time that you give to read my long letters, over to the Spirit to teach you the word of Christ, as written here in these two scriptures:

Colossians 2:8 (KJV) Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

vs.

Enjoy the Holy Spirit.

I’m going back to my chair and relax on this peaceful sabbath day rest unto the Lord.

I love Jesus, my Saviour, very very much!

Grace be with you,

—JC.

Psalm 84:11 (KJV) For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.

Revelation 22:21 (KJV) The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

By the way, I personally write all of my letters every week. Each letter goes into a sequential file system; so this letter may be earlier than my latest current dated letter… which is actually just fine, and the way I sort of planned it. The idea is to build upon each letter. However, if you would like to See My Latest Sunday Prayer Letter… please see my ministry website: JohnChoque.org.

When you’re in Boulder, let’s minister together… you don’t need anything except a love for Jesus and a love to see lost souls turn onto Jesus… everything else will come by the Holy Ghost teaching you what to do… so come on out! See my calendar for events, dates, and times: Calendar of Preaching Events.

Let’s minister together… hope to see ya’ soon!

Would you mind, if so inclined, to share my Sunday Prayer Letter subscription link/address to people you know and like, and maybe to a few, whom you believe, that may find written here of interest and of help in their walk with the Lord Jesus? Thank you: PreacherJohn.ck.page.

“Forbidden of the Holy Ghost…”

Forbidden Of The Holy Ghost

Acts 16:6 (KJV) Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia

Greetings my dear friend!

Let’s Pray!

“Holy Spirit thank you for teaching us the word of the Lord. So often we turn to people to learn the word of truth, and it seems as if we get off the path. Then by seeking you, you change our direction into where you want us to go. To a lot of us, this looks like a miracle! To be led by you Holy Spirit is such a joy and a pleasure, even if at the moment, we might not have enough faith. However, it seems Holy Spirit that you provide to us more faith when we walk in your way, and allow you to lead us. It’s just amazing that you care so much for us. Thank you again Holy Spirit for all that you do for us! In our Saviour’s name, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.”

You know there are times when we are heading along the right way, then it seems that we are suddenly in some rocky field, or even off into the ditch of life. Yesterday, in Longmont, Colorado, as I was preaching and ministering, it was as if the Holy Ghost was teaching me something unique and beautiful from the word of truth. But at the time, I didn’t know what this was. And now, today, Saturday as I was in prayer and study, lots of things the Holy Ghost was teaching me came to light. Praise the Lord!

So when I was getting ready to sit down and write this Sunday Prayer Letter, the only thing I could think of was this leading of the Holy Ghost. Are you led by the Spirit of God? Or are you led by what YOU want to do, rather than what the SPIRIT wants to do?

In today’s scriptures we can clearly see that the Holy Ghost was leading the Apostle Paul. Let’s take a look…

Acts 16:6-10 (KJV) Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia, After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.

Before we go any further, please remember to take all the counsel of God, not just a tiny portion here and there. In this section of scripture there is confirmation of how the Spirit of God leads people and directs them to what the Father wants, in the Lord Jesus Christ. This can also be seen throughout the Old Testament, not just the New Testament. The Holy Spirit was fully at work throughout the beginning, the middle, and the ending of The Holy Bible. I suppose this is one more reason why, we all need to stay in “one accord” with the bible version we study: as we read, hear, pray, keep, and write from. Agreed? Yes or No?

Acts 16:6 (KJV) Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,

The first question many might have is why would the Holy Ghost forbid someone from preaching? This is a question that I’ve heard before. But that’s not the point, it wasn’t to not preach, it was to not go into Asia! Is that right? Reread the scripture, slower!

Then why wouldn’t the Holy Ghost want the gospel preached in Asia? Jesus said, to go into all the world and preach the gospel! My answer at this time is…. I have no idea!!!

What I do know is that the Holy Ghost leads and teaches what the Lord Jesus wants. That I know is truth!

Then a question could be asked, what would have happened if Paul and his team would have disobeyed the Spirit and just went ahead anyway into Asia at that time?

How many of us, receive a direction from the Spirit of God, and then ignore the Spirit and go right on with whatever we have planned? What happens next? Yea, that’s what I thought… all kinds of problems begin over taking us and we get all messed up… or something like that!

Maybe what we all should do, is pray and ask the Holy Ghost what he wants us to do. And then just go do only that… sounds simple enough!

Acts 16:7 (KJV) After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.

Do you see this? Once again, the Spirit forbid them to go here also. Do you think the Spirit knows what’s going on? Or do you, by your actions, tell the Spirit, that you know more of what’s going on. If so, beware!

The word ‘assay’ is found in 3 Old Testament scriptures and 3 New Testament scriptures… isn’t that amazing? Three each… little things that I find fascinating!

Do you know how to find a definition to a word by using the word of truth? Look up the word in the first mention of it and read the context, then if need be read the next mention of the word. Together, the way God is using the word should be revealed.

For example: the word here in our text is ‘assay’… the first mention is in Deuteronomy 4:34. However, the definition seems obscure. Look at the next mention… it’s in 1 Samuel 17:39. There it is… “…he assayed to go; for he had not proved it.” Therefore the word assay means to ‘prove.’ This word prove, also refers to tried, and truth, and true, and verified… this can be seen in Genesis 42:16 “…be proved, whether there be any truth in you…” and Psalm 17:3 “…Thou hast proved mine heart; … thou hast tried me…”

I’m sort of chuckling to myself, because Paul had assayed to go, meaning he was trying or testing or proving this might be what they are to do… or something like that. Can you see it? We too, can also try or test the Spirit to understand if this is the right way. Because of the truth we see in the word, we now know that it is just fine to test and try the Holy Ghost in attempting to figure out what he wants us to do.

I did this last week. The day before I was to preach on Monday, I had sprained my little toe, I was in great pain!!! The following day, I said, I’ll put on my boots to go preach, either God is going to heal me or God is going to bring me home early. I stepped out on faith to go preach with my severely sprained toe… it hurt! I preached for two hours and God brought me home early, but he also used me to minister to the bus driver… it was great! And because I stepped out on faith, and assaying my situation, God healed my toe in the next two days. Praise the Lord!

Acts 16:8 (KJV) And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.

You can see here that they began, …they passing by… was similar to my story above. It’s a wonderful life when we live by faith and not by sight. Amen?

Acts 16:9 (KJV) And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.

So here we can see that the Holy Ghost may use a vision to direct us. When we receive a vision, we always check it with the word of truth. There should be some reference to what the Holy Ghost is doing in our life, and this should be found in the word. To often, visions can get us into trouble because many believers fail to live by faith… to often they live by sight. Thus a vision may be a vision from Satan. Beware!

Acts 16:10 (KJV) And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.

Once again, we can see how the Holy Ghost is leading. Look at the word, ‘assuredly.’ This word means, sure. You can see it, it’s built into the word, as – sure – dly. It also means to know. 1 Samuel 28:1,2.

Can you see how important it is to know the word of God? Then to know which bible is the word of God. And in my view, which bible is paramount!

To be bold and to go out into the field to teach, and to preach, and to minister; you have to know what the Holy Ghost is doing. Being led by the Spirit is going to be the key to what is in our near future on earth. What people say is not going to be important… even though they say they are the rulers of this world!

As believers, and children of God, we take our direction from Almighty God by his Spirit, and in the name of our Saviour and Lord, the Son of God, Jesus Christ!

My dear friend, be filled with the Holy Ghost!

Jesus shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire… Matthew 3:11, KJV.

Yes, be baptized with water: but Jesus shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost… Mark 1:8, KJV.

You can be filled with the Holy Ghost… Luke 1:41, KJV.

Yes, filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesy… Luke 1:67, KJV.

The Holy Ghost shall teach you… Luke 12:12, KJV.

Jesus said… But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you… John 14:26, KJV.

My dear friend, Receive ye the Holy Ghost… John 20:22, KJV.

With the LOVE of God and the Spirit,

—JC.

Psalm 5:8 (KJV) Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face.

Psalm 25:5 (KJV) Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.

Psalm 31:3 (KJV) For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me.

Do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Amen.

“Purge himself from these…”

Purge Himself From These

2 Timothy 2:21 (KJV) If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.

Greetings!

Let’s pray…
“Lord, we fully know that there are times that we need to purge ourselves of things that you don’t want in our lives, and we praise you for that love and grace. We ask though, Holy Spirit, help us to purge ourselves from the things that the Father wants out of our lives. We know that when we are weak, you are strong, therefore we confess that we are weak and lean not on our ability or wisdom, but fully trust in the Lord and humbly ask for the Lord’s grace to help us all purge out of us the world and all that is of dishonour. We believe that we receive that which we pray for, in our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.”

Yes I know, that is not the normal prayer that we tend to learn in Sunday School or even in the big church, where the adults go… however, let us move onward to the high calling of God in our lives.

There are times, much like these times in 2020 that defy the normal… but then what is normal? Is normal what we’ve always done in the past? Is normal our tradition that seems to always control us, and if we dare venture away from tradition, nearly every one in our world, seems to put us down and attempt to pull us back into their world, their life of comfort and tradition… after all, “It’s the way we’ve always done it!”

Now, as a street preacher, who actually ministers out where the sinners are… in the world, the Holy Ghost has shown me, and those who minister alongside, we’ve now seen the reality of what is read in the Holy Bible… yes, the word of truth actually comes to life in real-time. The word is true!

All to often, when all a believer does is attend the neighborhood local church, they see something much different than is seen out on the streets.

Why do I say that? I say this because, in 15 months of daily ministry, I have YET… to see another preacher out on the streets preaching, ministering, teaching the word of truth. (This is in reference to my city I live in; Boulder, Colorado.) Yes, I realize that is a bold statement, and quite easily be proven incorrect. However, I will challenge anyone to stand with me day after day and then tell me something different. Amen?

Daily I ask for people to pray for me… it’s sort of my way of getting people to do something for the kingdom of God; when I hand them my gospel tract (a small booklet for salvation), I ask them to keep me in prayer. Nearly every person says yes! How many actually do what they agreed to… I have no idea, but we all know that God knows everything!

If we look closely at our scripture for this Sunday Prayer Letter, we see or hopefully we can see, something that we all can do… namely, purge ourselves from dishonourable things. Here’s the scripture…

2 Timothy 2:21 (KJV) If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
We may have to look at the surrounding scriptures to get a better understanding… actually, my hope is that everyone will read and study the entire context and then ask the Spirit of truth to teach the understanding of the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:18-23 (KJV) Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some. Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

I could break down each part of this, however let’s just key in on a few things: “…concerning the truth have erred…” Here is where much of our doctrine get’s messed up. Somehow or another, error creeps into our knowledge. This is another reason why the scriptures often talk about guarding your heart, and other things pertaining to our heart. This is important!

The next key is this: “…the Lord knoweth them that are his…” This short few words gives us the assurance that we are not alone, and that God really does know us, that is, if you’re a believer! Do you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and only Saviour? In other words, if you died tonight, do you have the assurance in your heart that you would go to heaven? This is not a light matter… it’s a very big deal! It’s a matter of life and death! Praise the Lord if you are born-again… but let me ask you boldly, how many other souls will be in heaven because you lived?

Did you truthfully answer the previous question? To many of us spend our entire life reading the bible and praising the Lord, ect, ect, …but never tell another soul about Jesus Christ. That’s a fact, and one that I am working daily to purge out of other people! Yea, I know… the scripture says for each of us to purge ourselves… and here I am saying… if you don’t – I will… !!! Actually, it’s not me at all… I trust in the Lord of lords, and King of kings… and the Spirit of truth to do the dirty work!

You see, purging is not a clean and sweet smelling job! Sometimes, it gets down right dirty and much tears and anguish and possibly begging the Lord for help! I know first hand, I’ve been purging myself of the world for years. Actually, I’m getting better at… but only because I’ve been at it for decades. Have fun!

Another part of the scripture says, “…in a great house…” I like this because, as a career professional driver, a trucker, I’ve heard the words often, “I’m headed back to the house!” In CB radio jargon, it’s called the “junk yard!” Now I can’t stop laughing… because I think sometimes I feel like a “junk yard!!!” But it’s getting cleaned up!

God is so funny! He really uses the weak things of the world to confound the wise! Just look at us… I mean really!

If you’re not laughing with us, let’s all pray… “Lord, help my brother and sister come to know who you truly are and that you truly love each one of us… you are LOVE! Because you are a God of Love, we can trust that you will be merciful to us, your children… your house… a house of honour. Thank you Lord, in your name Jesus we believe and pray. Amen.”

Two more things I want to cover before we close this short little letter? Still smiling and laughing!

Okay, one… “…meet for the master’s use…” Let’s all allow the Lord to help us so that we can all be used for his glory… why? Because to serve the Lord is the highest calling on earth! AMEN!!!

And, two… “…out of a pure heart…” Yes, it is possible to have a pure heart. For the scripture clearly says, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. -Luke 18:27, KJV. However, please understand fully that this scripture holds true also: “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.” -Hebrews 11:6, KJV.

So there you go my friend, I hope that there was something here that you can use or take away that will bless your life and the life of those whom you know… and possibly, if you’re bold, others whom you have never met… yet!

And please take note… it is possible to have a pure heart.

With faith, charity, and peace,
—JC.

Psalm 12:6 (KJV)The words of the LORD are pure words:as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

Psalm 18:26 (KJV) With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

Psalm 19:8 (KJV) The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

Heard a voice saying…”

Heard A Voice Saying

Acts 9:4-7 (KJV) And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

Greetings!

Let’s pray…

“Lord thank you for hearing our prayers. So many times we pray and hear your voice saying what you want us to hear. Help us Holy Spirit to know who speaks to us and to know it is the Lord that speaks to us. Help us, because to many hear a voice saying, this and that, but it is not your voice Lord. We need you Holy Spirit. Protect us and teach us and comfort us in times of persecution, even from our enemies and even from wicked spirits that seek to steal, to kill, and to destroy us in any way they can. We lean not on our own understanding, but trust only in our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.”

Sometimes when I sense that the Holy Ghost is getting me ready to write my Sunday Prayer Letter, it seems like he takes me all over the word of truth, and into many different and seemingly unrelated topics… then as if suddenly, everything the Spirit has been teaching me about Jesus appears as one thing… one subject… one topic! Often I then go to the floor in tears and joy… how I love God with all my heart and soul… thank you Lord for loving me and for loving all that read this letter. May what is said be a comfort and an exhortation to establish them in the truth. Amen.

The title of this letter is “Heard A Voice Saying” and the question I have to so many people that I minister to on the streets is, how do you know it was God speaking to you?

There are numerous ensamples in the word of truth that teaches us how to establish our selves in how to hear the voice of God. (Please make a big note here: This in no way takes away from being in the standard, the word of truth… the Holy Bible… we all must be faithful in studying the word of truth, if not… then it won’t be long until the one who says, ‘I don’t need the bible any more, because I listen to the voice of God.’ Beware my beloved! Satan is not far from you.) You may want to reread what I just wrote… and think about it for a moment. Okay?

Let’s go on…

Acts 9:4 (KJV) And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

For a moment I chuckled to myself, because I saw the red letters in my bible, and thought, God doesn’t speak in red letters! Laughing… because, I’ve actually heard people say to me, ‘God speaks to me with red letters!’ Wow, people say the most odd things, and guess what… they believe what they say!

One of the things you need to remember when you read my Sunday Prayer Letters is, I preach and teach and minister on the streets, out where the sinners are… this brings in lots of different view points about God and his word… I could write a comic book on all the goofy doctrine that people believe in and totally accept as truth! Oh well.

In this scripture we see that the Lord was speaking to Saul, and God recorded it in his word for all of us to learn from. What happened next?

Acts 9:5 (KJV) And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

It’s easy to know the answer to Saul’s question, because here it is recorded for us… Saul spoke back to this voice he heard, he heard a voice saying… and the Lord answered back, sort of like a conversation we all have… think about that for a moment…

How can we have a conversation with Almighty God, the Creator of heaven and earth? Well, I think it is easy based upon what God wrote in his word. Genesis 1:26 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: …” Okay, there’s one more thought to think on for a moment…

Are we back again? Okay, let’s go on!

Acts 9:6 (KJV) And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

As we can see here, God is able to direct us to do something that he wants us to do. For example, I was directed by God to come to Boulder, Colorado. Why a certain city? I have no idea, other than that is what God said. I’m not going to Boise, Idaho! I came to Boulder, Colorado! Here just like God said to Saul, go into the city. This is one of the amazing things about the Lord, he knows his own, he knows what we are doing, he knows what we are supposed to be doing, and guess what… he knows when we do it or not do it. Are you doing what the Lord has asked you to do?

Stop. Back up a moment… did you answer the previous question? It’s more important than many realize. It’s also one of the big reasons that I find on why people don’t hear from God anymore, or don’t sense his love, or even the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Are you doing what the Lord has asked you to do?

What would have happened to Saul’s life if he didn’t obey the Lord?

What has the Lord asked you to do?

Also, do you know Jesus Christ as your Saviour, or is he just another prophet or good man?

Acts 9:7 (KJV) And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

Now of course, let’s be reasonable and confirmed in the word of truth. In this certain story, we see that other men stood speechless because they too heard a voice out of heaven, but they didn’t see any man talking! Being reasonable is knowing that this is a peculiar story that needed to take place, but is not the normal everyday life we live. So therefore, the Lord can do what ever he wants when ever he wants, why?

Why?

Do you know the true answer?

Okay… to answer a bible question, always go to the bible to get the answer. Be alert to not answering quickly what ever comes to your mind. It may be incorrect and not the truth, according to the word of truth. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you.

Here’s the answer that I got: Psalm 24:1 (KJV) The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

And here’s another great answer in the New Testament to confirm the truth: 1 Corinthians 10:26 (KJV) For the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.

Lastly here’s one more from a different book in the word: Deuteronomy 10:14 (KJV) Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD’S thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.

And that’s why I call God, the Boss! He owns it all, and those who think otherwise will be in for a big surprise in the end. People are not the boss. God is the Boss. And to clarify, I’m speaking of the Godhead. (Read the truth: 1 John 5:7, KJV.)

When believers take their direction from the voice of people, and not from God, things don’t turn out the way you have it planned. If people are telling you what to do in your ministry, don’t listen. Go to God and pray, and if need be, fast when you pray. Stay in prayer and until God answers you.

How do we know it is the Lord’s voice speaking to us?

Always… always… and again, I say always… go to the word of God, the Holy Bible, and specifically, the Authorized King James Version. Do all that you can to stay away from any other bible, all modern versions are not what they say or claim they are. Nope!

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

Here’s a few examples that will teach how you can know that it is the Lord speaking to you.

Read about Ananias in Acts 9:10-18, KJV

Read about Paul in Acts 22:6-16, KJV

Read about Paul again in Acts 26:13-18, KJV

Read about Samuel in 1 Samuel 3:1-21, KJV

When you read these four stories you may see a way that God establishes his voice in our life. Namely, when the Lord speaks a word into your life, what he said becomes reality, it comes to pass. And conversely, if it is not the voice of the Lord, whatever you heard does not come to pass. It’s that simple!

Oh so often, I hear people tell me on the street, God said this or that… and it never happens.

People have said, God told me to buy you dinner. I said to the people, I’m not sure about that, because God knows what time I get off work (street preaching).

Others have said, God told me to invite you to preach. I said to the people, I don’t know about that, because God knows I preach all day at the place God has told me to preach at.

There are dozens of stories I could tell you about how people have said, God told them to do this or that. And of course, that is simply not the case. No. Not at all. Then who was taking talking to them?

Well my friend, that is the problem.

I suppose we’ll tackle that topic in another letter.

Amen my dear friend!

This letter is done. The Holy Ghost, whom I listen to and learn the word of truth from…

John 15:26-27 (KJV) But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

…is done with this Sunday Prayer Letter.

Praise God!

Praise ye the LORD.

With mercy and truth,

Psalm 150:1-6 (KJV) Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

“A faithful saying…”

A Faithful Saying

2 Timothy 2:11-13 (KJV) It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

Greetings my dear friend!

Let’s pray…

“Thank you Father for giving us your word. As believers, we have received your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, into our hearts and we are made new. The abundant blessings you have bestowed upon us is more than we can thank you for. However Lord, we thank you for all that you have done for us. Thank you God for your grace and your mercy and your truth. We love you, yes we do, we love you with all our heart, and with all our soul, and with all our mind. In Jesus name. Amen.”

When we love the Lord as much as the scriptures tell us to, or gives us the example of how much we love the Lord, then we should love God with every thing we are, without any reserve. Amen?

This letter has a little bit to do with this love we have for our Saviour Jesus Christ. Hopefully we all can grasp this true love we need to show the Lord. It’s a unique thing that we do, as believers, because we love someone whom we can’t see… God requires us to live by faith, not by sight… nor by our flesh feelings… towards God.

This is quite profound when we ponder on God’s love for us. I’ll stop here with this because there’s something else the Holy Ghost wants me to share in this Sunday Prayer Letter to you my friend.

Let’s start with the first of the three scriptures:

2 Timothy 2:11 (KJV) It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:

The first thing that caught my attention this morning was, “…a faithful saying…” The first time this word, faithful, was used is Numbers 12:7, “My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.” So if you wanted to study faithfulness, this is where you would go… study the life of Moses! Pretty simple huh?

What got my attention though was this part, “…if we be dead with him…” As I’ve been preaching every day on the streets, I can see that this is what has been happening to me, personally. I think I am realizing that I am dead to the world… the world sees me as dead to it… and because it sees me as dead, the world comes after me to get rid of me. If you don’t preach on the streets, where the sinners are, then this may not make much sense to you.

People in churches, ministers who only minister in church buildings, and the preachers in conferences, and the like… they typically, I think, don’t preach out on the street corners. They preach and minister in basically protected environments. The people in these arenas see these ministers as alive… not dead.

However, out in the streets and lanes of the city, and in the highways and hedges, where I compel the people to come to Jesus to be saved; there is a whole different story. Yep, the world of sinners sees the street preacher as one dead to them.

What they don’t see is my intercession for their soul… because I am standing in the gap before the Lord God, interceding on their behalf for their salvation and all their needs, whatever they may be.

Then the question comes to me… are you too dead to the world… or… are you very much alive to the world?

Stop… did you answer that question?

It’s important.

2 Timothy 2:11 (KJV) It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:

Being dead to the world, we shall also live with our Saviour Jesus Christ in eternal life… like forever… without ceasing… never ending… always alive with Christ our Lord and God… the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. Wow!!! Behold the Lamb of God!

There is a lot more here in this single scripture, but I think you get the point, and this may be a starting point for you to dig deep into the word of truth, and found your house upon this rock, Jesus Christ.

2 Timothy 2:12 (KJV) If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

One of the many ways we can determine if we are dead to the world is this scripture. In other words, if we are not suffering for Christ, then quite possibly there is no death… I just typed this and I cringed within me, because I see so much out in the world as I preach, that just shakes me and breaks my heart, I cry for the souls of man, male and female.

My current Daily Prayer List is 14 pages long… I pray daily for every soul on my ever growing list of people I meet on the street… if you’re reading this letter addressed to you, then you too are one of the precious souls that I mention to God daily in my prayers.

This one act fills my heart with overflowing love for people. And it’s because of this love of God and love for people that I cry on the streets often, because of their lostness and emptiness of spirit, they are dark and going to hell if they don’t repent and change their current decision against God… the only way to have eternal life is in Jesus Christ… he is our Saviour… there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. NONE!

Now if we suffer for the gospel of Christ, that is become persecuted, then as the scripture tells us, we shall also reign with Christ… think about that for a moment…

But get this… if we deny Christ… oh, how sad are those words… how dark, yes, how great is that darkness… oh my… we must get to all those whom we know, then after that get to every single person we come across in our daily lives… please, please consider being a soul winner for Christ!

For if we deny Jesus Christ, then he too, will deny us. Yes… a sad end to the story.

2 Timothy 2:13 (KJV) If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

This here is the end… when anyone does not believe in Jesus Christ, then they die… they will never ever receive a second chance to gain eternal life… that is the real end of the world in the unsaved, the unbeliever, the one who deny’s Christ. This is what I see and hear on the streets as I preach the gospel… and this is what breaks my heart into tears; I cry for their soul.

One of the great things that I know is that if you’re reading this, I know that you are saved and heaven is your home… and I pray that the world continues to not have a place in your heart. And if I am mistaken, please confess Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord, now.

The scriptures say…

1 John 2:8 (KJV) Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

1 John 2:9 (KJV) He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.

1 John 2:10 (KJV) He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

1 John 2:11 (KJV) But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.

1 John 2:12 (KJV) I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.

1 John 2:13 (KJV) I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.

1 John 2:14 (KJV) I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one.

1 John 2:15 (KJV) Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

1 John 2:16 (KJV) For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

1 John 2:17 (KJV) And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

That’s what the Holy Ghost has said in this letter… I pray that whatever is here, the Spirit may shine his light in your heart and give you understanding in the word of truth. May Jesus be your love and your groom… for we, the children of God, the believers… are the bride of Christ!

Amen.

and…

Amen.

With love and grace,

“Souls…”

Souls

Proverbs 11:30 (KJV) The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

Greetings my dear friend!

Let’s pray…

“Lord we pray peace and grace in your name Jesus, to all that are struggling in some way. We know that sometimes you provide for people in ways that seem unusual. However, we know Lord that you do provide, because of what your word says. Thank you Lord for helping us to pray according to your word. And thank you Lord for providing opportunity to win souls for the Kingdom of Heaven! Wow, Lord what a blessing that is… thank you! In your name Jesus we pray. Amen.”

Just got back from being on the road for two days. Been preaching in Burlington, Colorado. A border town on the eastern side of the state. This was the fifth Friday of the month, there are four months in the year with five Friday’s. Each one I go to a border town on each side of the State of Colorado.

January was Grand Junction. May was Ft. Collins. July was Burlington. And October should be Trinidad. These corners along with the other cities I preach in, give me now a full schedule of 30 corners, spread over a 35-day rotation, preaching non-stop for 34 hours per week. It’s truly amazing what God is doing with this ministry!

I think this scripture today says a lot more than many realize.

Proverbs 11:30 (KJV) The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

Notice how it first says, “The fruit…” Do you remember when Jesus talked about fruit in people’s lives? (Matthew 7:16, KJV. Ye shall know them by their fruits.) The type of fruit we have in our life is a big deal to the Lord!

Do you see what it says next, “…of the righteous…” This is another big deal to God! The very first person that God called righteous in the King James Bible is someone we all know, Noah! (Genesis 7:1, KJV. And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.)

The word continues, “…is a tree…” I like this because often in the word, people are referred to as a tree! Interesting how the word tree also is used here? I love it… don’t you just love the word of God?

Continuing, “…of life;” Thinking about life here reminds me that Jesus gave his life for all of us to have life. That alone is the biggest deal there is!!! Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin. (Hebrews 9:22, KJV. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.)

Next is, “…and he that winneth souls…” I love this part because it is going to work for the Kingdom of God! Working for Almighty God, our Creator, is the highest honour any soul can hope for… what I mean is this is a good place to be! Amen? Let’s all go to work and build the Kingdom of Heaven!

Here is the kicker, “…is wise.” Do you want to be wise? Okay, here you go… this might be what you’re looking for! There are many other scriptures talking about wisdom and being wise. But one of them is winning souls! That’s going to work for God!

Proverbs 11:30 (KJV) The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

I’m using this scripture in this prayer letter today because I just got back from preaching 14 hours in Burlington, Colorado! There was so much going on that I don’t even know where to start in telling the story. I suppose that is why the Holy Ghost showed me this scripture to use today. It’s easier… because I’m really tired, with very little sleep in the last two days. God is good!

Lord, thank you for touching my friend…

Thank you for providing every thing needed…

You are more and more and more to my dear friend…

Lord, thank you for being who you are… amen and amen!

Working for the Boss,

—JC.

Psalm 72:13 (KJV) He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy..

Psalm 97:10 (KJV) Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

Proverbs 14:25 (KJV) A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.

“Support the weak…”

Support The Weak

1 Thessalonians 5:14 (KJV) Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

Greetings!

Let’s pray…

“Our Father in heaven, you are more than we can speak… you are more than we can think… you are more than all the words and things we can do… Father, with our whole spirit and soul and body, we love you. It’s because of you Father and Jesus Christ our Saviour that we can even pray right now! What a great joy it is to call you Father! We are your children and we honour you and glorify you, by the power of your Holy Spirit and in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.”

Wow, what a prayer! I think that prayers really say a lot about the person. I frequently ask people to pray… one of my reasons is, I want to hear where they are in the spirit. Prayers reveal their life in the spirit. I really don’t know how that is, but over these many many years, that is what I’ve come to notice. How’s your prayer life, my friend?

Today’s Sunday Prayer Letter seems to be about the weak… however, it’s not what you may be thinking right now. There are 23 Old Testament verses with the word “weak,” and 34 New Testament verses with the word “weak.” And the majority of these verses all agree with each other.

The predominant definition of “weak” is the opposite of strong. And the word “strong” means strength, or power. These definitions can be determined by reading the first mention in the bible of the word you’re looking for. Many times you have to read several verses around the word to find the actual meaning, and then you can cross reference it with similar words to get a fuller meaning; sort of like what I did with strong, strength, and power.

And then, if you wanted to get even deeper into the meaning of a particular word, or even the complete, or how can I say, what is behind or beneath the word, I guess? What you do is look up the first word in the bible with each letter in the word you’re working on. For example: “w” – “e” – “a” – “k”.

Let’s do that exercise right now, since I haven’t looked them up yet… this may or may not prove my understanding correctly… oh boy! Here goes…

W – was Ge 1:2

E – earth Ge 1:1

A – and Ge 1:1

K – kind Ge 1:11

Okay, I can hear it now… what does that suppose to mean Preacher? Well, think about it for a moment and then look up the verses and you’ll see that the earth was weak… it was without form, and void…

Anyways, it’s just another way of using the King James Bible the way God has intended for us to use it. This is a very big reason why the best bible to use for every thing is the Authorized King James Version of The Holy Bible. The modern versions will not accomplish the same end. Another quick reason is that the King James will build your faith in God, while the modern versions will build your doubt in God. Can you see the difference?

Here again is today’s verse…

1 Thessalonians 5:14 (KJV) Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

I’m using this one to back up the verse I really want to use or focus on for a moment. And that one is…

Acts 20:35 (KJV) I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

The words Jesus used is, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

As believers, we all should be giving. Why? Well, one reason is that it is more blessed to give!

However, due to the decades of “Prosperity Gospel” teaching and it’s flagrant abuse of power, many and maybe most Christians stay away from the prosperity teaching in the word of truth and sometimes will declare it unbiblical or sometimes even evil. I know, that’s weird… it’s the word of God and people say it’s evil. What’s all that about?

What I want to look at is NOT the prosperity part, no. Take a look at our verse…

1 Thessalonians 5:14 (KJV) Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

This is almost exactly what I do everyday, six days a week, on the streets as I preach the gospel and intercede for souls. Let’s break this verse down for a moment.

“Now we exhort you, …” This word, exhort is part of the definition that the Apostle Paul described in 1 Corinthians 14:3. Paul was going on to describe how to show charity to everyone. (That is 1 Corinthians 13:1-13, KJV.) To show charity is to prophesy unto people. 1 Corinthians 14:3 (KJV) But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.

“brethren, warn them that are unruly, …” This is found in Titus 1:6 (KJV) If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. Can you see it? Unruly would mean rioting, sort of applicable to what’s going on currently in the US?

“comfort the feebleminded, …” This could be found in Deuteronomy 25:18 (KJV) How he met thee by the way, and smote the hindmost of thee, even all that were feeble behind thee, when thou wast faint and weary; and he feared not God. Using this verse we can see that we are to comfort the faint and weary, and possibly those who have no fear of God.

“support the weak, …” We can use this one more time… Acts 20:35 (KJV) I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. Here is our verse again, to support is a high calling on each one of us, as believers. Yes! Let’s support the weak. Let’s lift up the weak. Let’s do what we can to strengthen the weak. I do this on the streets as a street preacher. I don’t tear people down, no! I exhort them and build them up… even to the dismay of religious people. I will stand in the gap before the Lord for every soul that God gives me to minister to… and that is in the thousands! Why so many? Because what you sow you reap. Because God will not be mocked. Because whatever you sow, God will increase it. Sow sparingly… reap sparingly. Sow bountifully… reap bountifully. It’s all pretty simple to me. And that’s because I have faith in God. Yes, have faith in God, my friend!

“be patient toward all men.” We can use this verse, Psalm 37:7 (KJV) Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Now here is the one that gets people into the wrong area of life. And I too am guilty of this. When I’m on the streets, sometimes I make this mistake, and judge or get mad at people’s actions. Immediately, the Holy Ghost tells me, I am not here to judge their actions. I’m here to interceded for their soul. Oh wow, instantly I repent and get back into intercession and preaching. This is a big one for all of us, I’m guessing. Patience, or rather, longsuffering, is a fruit of the Spirit. Longsuffering is a better word for patience, due to its depth of meaning. Modern versions will use the word patience, which is also used in other King James Version scriptures. But when talking about fruit, let’s get the better meaning. Amen?

So in this one single verse that we are using today, namely…

1 Thessalonians 5:14 (KJV) Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

…we can put together a simple teaching, that we all can meditate on, and do, and reap some very good needs, that we all have need to be met, and only met by our Father, which is in heaven, hallowed be thy name!!!

Look at this here…

Now my friend, let’s all support the weak. Because we now have a little better understanding what this really means… support the weak.

With support and patience,

—JC.

P.S. “Let the weak say, I am strong.”

Psalm 6:2 (KJV) Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

Joel 3:10 (KJV) Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I am strong.

“Let him hear…”

Let Him Hear

Revelation 13:9 (KJV) If any man have an ear, let him hear.

Greetings my dear friend!

Let’s pray…

“Lord thank you for hearing our prayers. It seems that often times we pray and we are wondering if you hear us… however we know that you hear us, because your word tells us so. Thank you for listening and letting us know that you hear our prayers. This just really seems important at this time… we truly need ears to hear Lord, we pray, in your name Jesus. Amen.”

I suppose the very first thing I need to say, so that this letter can be heard by a female is this… the word of God as written in the Authorized King James Version, says that man is male AND female. Whenever God says man, he is referring to both male and female. This letter is not intended to go into a long discourse of genders… some other time maybe. Thank you.

This scripture is: Revelation 13:9 (KJV) If any man have an ear, let him hear.

As we can immediately see, God is talking to man… “male and female”… I hope this is clear, I do recognize that there is a vast number of women who don’t like the bible because of it’s male gender tone. To understand this is to study Genesis and how God created all things and how God put all things in order and in sequence. All this is God’s, not mankind! We don’t own a thing… and to think or believe other wise is utter foolishness, or simple and clear deception by the enemy, the deceiver, the devil, Satan.

The verse today comes after studying Revelation 13:1-9, KJV. There is so much here that pertains to what is currently happening in the world today, especially here in the USA in the Summer of 2020, and the topic which I don’t want to get into with this prayer letter.

Here is what I do want to say… look at the simple word “ear”… what do you see?

Have you got it yet?

Okay. Let me explain what I see, in this word and how I saw it.

In the King James Bible, we can determine what God is saying to us by looking at why he chose certain words. Words are very important, and how they are spelled. What I mean is, the definition of every word in the King James Bible is defined within the word of God, for the reading of God’s word. This is such a cool topic, but let’s go on!

God will not allow misunderstanding to be apart of his word. This is what Satan is doing in the world. Satan is confusing, mixing up, perverting, corrupting and changing every thing he can change to divide the body of Christ and all those who live on earth. Satan does this to keep people captive, and out of heaven, and to steal them to eternal damnation with him and his devils. Wow, that sounds horrible! And it is.

So let’s go to the word and look up the first mention of the word “ear”… we can also look at the first word that has “ear” embedded in the word to get even more understanding of the word. We can also look up the first word beginning with each letter of the word, such as, “e-a-r”… to get even more of the definition and meaning of the word we are referencing. And this goes for every word in the bible. It just takes time and prayer to find it all. A warning though: don’t go looking for sources outside of the word of truth. Just stick to this one single source, the Authorized King James Bible, KJV.

This is the first mention of a compound word with our word, “ear”…

Genesis 1:1 (KJV) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

It’s right there in the word “ear-th”.

Did I lose you? You see, I don’t read or study or pray like anyone else. It throws most people off, because most look at the obvious. And how is earth and ear the same or a definition to each other? This doesn’t make any sense? At least that is what I hear people say to me.

Why is Revelation 13:9 (KJV) If any man have an ear, let him hear.

And Genesis 1:1 (KJV) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Why are these two verses so important?

You know the thought just came to me to not answer this question. But rather just post it here and let you ponder or meditate on this. Because if I tell you, it won’t mean as much as if you found the answer yourself. When you do, you’ll be so excited and begin to unlock even more of God’s wonderful and beautiful word of truth! I’ll go on to the next part of my letter in regards to the topic.

The main topic is this verse: Revelation 13:9 (KJV) If any man have an ear, let him hear.

The reason for this verse and the title of “Let Him Hear”… is the previous eight verses.

These verses talk of a vision the Apostle John saw and described for us. There is one word that jumped off the page at me and captivated my attention for probably one or two hours. That is the word “leopard”… it’s in verse 2…

Revelation 13:2 (KJV) And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

Why did this thing look like a leopard?

Why not some other animal?

Why? Why? Why?

And there are seven Old Testament verses, and one New Testament verse with leopard in it! Wow!!!

Well, I did lots of research about the leopard. You should too… it will surprise you so very much. And it will bring a lot of what is happening today into focus. Because, yesterday while I was preaching in the town of Nederland, Colorado… I had several people ask me about what is going on or happening with things in the US. I simply answered, it’s just the preparation for what is to come. Nearly every single person just looked at me in disbelief and confusion. They had no idea what I was saying with that simple statement. They did not have ears to hear. Do you?

Let me list a few items that caught my attention:

1. Leopard’s are sometimes all black…

2. Leopard’s are thought to be demonic…

3. Leopard’s can become man-eaters and become habituated to eating people…

4. Leopard’s swim and are in water oft times, no problem with it…

5. Leopard’s live in deserts… or high mountains… or rain forests… or jungle…

6. Leopard’s are the only large cats that climb trees…

7. Leopard’s have strong jaws to carry their prey up into the tree, even twice their weight…

8. Leopard’s can run up to 36 miles per hour, jump straight up 10 feet, or leap 20 feet…

9. Leopard’s kill their prey with one bite of their mouth…

10. Leopard’s are the most stealth fighter in the wild…

11. Leopard’s communicate with other leopard’s with the white tip on their tail and the white tip on the back of their ears…

12. Leopard’s are loners… never in packs… and live on their own from 3 years of age to 15 or so…

Again I ask, why did God use the leopard to give us an image of what the beast looks like that rose up out of the sea… and had feet of a bear… a mouth like a lion… and power that was given by the dragon?

I’m not going to answer these questions… I have answers, but I want you, if you want to… to pray and ask God about it. That’s why he said, Revelation 13:9 (KJV) If any man have an ear, let him hear.

Enjoy my friend…

Finding the truth in God’s word is an adventure…

Get your jungle khaki’s out and high boots and wade into it…

You never know what you may find!

Happy trails,

—JC.

“Your requests…”

Your Requests

Philippians 4:6 (KJV) Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Greetings!

May the Lord God Almighty touch you with all his grace and mercy, in Jesus name.

Let’s pray…

“Heavenly Father, thank you for giving all that you have to us. I am so humbled to even give thanks for all that you have done for us. Help us Lord to give back to you and to love you with all our heart. You are so very good to us. Again we ask, help us Lord to be as good to you as you are to us. Even now as we pray, I know that you are near to us and you love us and give to us all your creation, you are so amazing! We pray in thankfulness, in your name Jesus, amen.”

I still don’t know what this is, but when I write this little prayer out, I feel good inside. I just know that something good is happening on the inside. I pray that you too are able to receive something good from the Spirit of God.

So anyways, this is summer and wow is it hot, at least here in Boulder. High 90’s has been the normal for a few weeks now. It would probably be no big deal, except that I stand for 5 hours every day with my 10 foot preaching banner, interceding for souls, and ministering to all that come to me. Plus, I have a half an hour walk to the location, then another 30 minutes back home, making for a long 6 hour day in this heat. Oh well, praise the Lord. The life of a missionary!

Today’s verse is just one of many that I could have selected. Again, it’s… Philippians 4:6 (KJV) Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Getting our prayers answered is very important to our Christian life with the Lord. So, just how do we get our prayers answered? Glad you asked!

Let’s look at the parts of this verse:

1. “Be careful for nothing…” This is letting us know that God doesn’t want us to worry about anything. There’s lots of scripture talking about not allowing our selves to get caught up in striving and worrying and complaining and fretting about our needs getting met. This is even for those that are supposedly rich. So, lets first not worry… work at learning how to “Trust in the Lord.”

2. “But in every thing by prayer…” This part tells us we are to go to God and talk to him about our life and what is going on. Now of course, God already knows, but some how, he like’s us to talk to him about our life. This could be a way of humbling our selves and showing God that we don’t put our trust in our selves, but in the Lord… as the scripture says. Okay, so now we just talk to God, seems simple enough. Sort of?

3. “And supplication…” Okay now this is the big one! Here is where we have to get to work in searching the scriptures to find the key verses that relate to our requests. This can take a few months or sometimes less, at least for me it does, and it takes some doing to work with the Holy Ghost in showing all the pertinent verses to our situation that we are making supplication for.

What’s a supplication? It’s sort of like a petition or an earnest request and possibly a long-form of what you are talking to God about. The key component in a supplication is the scriptures. Because, after your done writing or creating this type of prayer, you will be generally praying the word of God. That’s where the power lies!

Here is where I need to mention that, if you don’t know the Holy Bible very well, this can be a very daunting task and one that may stop many even before they begin. But don’t let not knowing all the bible scare you off. This is a fantastic time and exercise to get to know God’s word.

Supplications can be short or they can be long. Most of my supplications are about a page in length. However, many of them are built from repetition of quoting and rehearsing scripture, this is mainly because of me being a preacher. As a preacher, I have a need to know, as much as possible the word of truth. But this doesn’t make it any easier to build my supplications.

Another advantage that I may have currently is, I’ve been building and creating supplications for well over fifteen years. I’ve written thousands of pages of scripture, and prayers, and sermons, and the list goes on and on… it’s just the life I live as a preacher, and a dedicated one. I take nothing for granite from the Lord. I do not take advantage of any blessing or gifts to do my work. I work hard at what I do. I have a long ways to go… but I have eternity! Amen.

To clarify just a little bit about supplications and what it may look like… it’s sort of like a brick or rock wall. The mortar… the rock… the mortar… the rock… and on it goes until completed. Your spirit with the Holy Spirit will complete the supplication and you will know when it’s written or built.

Now, talk to God out loud, so you can hear yourself, this supplication… read the thing to God, in other words. Amen? As you read this, your spirit will begin getting stronger due to all the scripture that you are quoting with your requests. It’s very cool!

4. “With thanksgiving…” This is the end of your supplication. Always giving thanks is key to getting closer to God and to understanding God’s will. It takes faith to be thankful… faith pleases God. He knows how hard it is… he made us… he knows what’s going on. Okay?

This will also include a type of praise or worship that usually results in your thankfulness. This type of worship builds inside of you the love of God. When you fall more in love with God, this world takes on less of a meaning and eventually the Lord becomes your most treasured person in your life! Wow, I can’t say enough about this… the Lord Jesus Christ is every thing to me, personally!

5. “Let your requests be made known unto God.” This part of the verse simply lets you know where your supplications are to be pointed toward. Godward is where you direct all your communication. Praying to people or idols or things is NOT what we do.

Once again, I’ll put our verse here…

Philippians 4:6 (KJV) Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

As you read through this verse again, can you see the five areas that I highlighted?

I hope this made some sense, it’s not an easy topic. And it’s one that can send me all over the place.

May the Holy Ghost teach you the word of truth…

May the Holy Ghost comfort you as you proceed…

May the Holy Ghost be your Comforter…

at all times…

Amen.

Much respect in Jesus Christ,

—JC.

1 Samuel 13:12 (KJV) Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering.

1 Kings 8:45 (KJV) Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

Psalm 142:1 (KJV) I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.

Acts 1:14 (KJV) These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

“Let us not be weary…”

Let Us Not Be Weary

Galatians 6:9 (KJV) And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Greetings!

I suppose you know what this is all about… yep, being tired or exhausted or even weary is nothing new to God.

Let’s pray…

“Lord, thank you so very much for already knowing what we go through here in these physical bodies. Becoming weary is nothing new. Thank you for what you have done for every single soul… sitting us free from sin and death and giving us freedom to follow you all the way to heaven! Hallelujah, what a great joy that will be! Until then, Holy Spirit please help us all to not become weary in well doing; as your word says. We love you Jesus and thank you for sending the Comforter to comfort us in times like this. In your name Jesus. Amen”

You know, I sure have enjoyed including these little prayers in my letter. I just write whatever comes to me. Then I read what I wrote, and feel amazed that that’s what came out! God is so good… let’s trust the Lord fully, not partially.

Okay, so let’s take a look at another verse that says something similar:

2 Thessalonians 3:13 (KJV) But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.

Kinda of short and to the point, isn’t it?

Now of course many quote this next famous verse in this matter, here it is:

Isaiah 40:31 (KJV) But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

I suppose I could go into a long discourse on this topic, and it would be quite easy for me to fill this page with 2,000 words… however…. as the title says, “Let Us Not Be Weary” concludes that for a fact, I am weary. But guess what?

I diligently wait upon the Lord… and in his miraculous manner, the Lord renews my strength! This week has been one of hard work and lots of summer heat, however this week has been one of seeing the Lord move in breath taking manners.

Right now, I’m not going to go into any detail… you guessed it… I be tired…LOL

To know what I’m talking about, it’s currently 8:28 pm and I’m in bed on 4th of July as I type this letter. Oh well, I desire to be consistent in writing and sending my Sunday Prayer Letters.

God really does provide strength when we are weak. He really does!

Just look to Jesus, and ask… Lord please strengthen me, in your name Jesus… I pray. Amen.

Now, wait and watch the Lord. Sometimes, you will need to begin moving”by faith” and then suddenly you will sense God doing something in you or around you or maybe with you. Trust in the Lord. Lean not on your own understanding.

Until next week… “Let us not be weary…”

Peace and love and mercy and grace,

—JC.

Galatians 6:10 (KJV) As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

2 Thessalonians 3:16 (KJV) Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

Isaiah 40:29 (KJV) He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

“Believe…”

Believe

Mark 11:24 (KJV) Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Greetings!

Blessings in abundance to you and your life; may blessed excess be every where in your life!

Let’s pray…

“Father thank you for being a merciful and gracious Father. There are times that this world really gets us down. However, when we look to you our joy returns and a smile graces our lips. You never cease to amaze us. We are abundantly grateful for all your provision in every area of of our life. If there is somewhere in our life that doesn’t have you in it, we ask you Holy Spirit to help us give all of ourselves to God. And thank you Holy Spirit for teaches us about this word, believe. In Jesus name. Amen.”

From Webster’s 1828 Dictionary

BELIE’VE, v.t. To credit upon the authority or testimony of another; to be persuaded of the truth of something upon the declaration of another, or upon evidence furnished by reasons, arguments, and deductions of the mind, or by other circumstances, than personal knowledge. When we believe upon the authority of another, we always put confidence in his veracity.

From Genesis 15:6 King James Bible

And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

When using the King James Bible we can use it to define our words. We do this by looking at the first time the word was used in the KJV. And look, it matches Webster’s Dictionary!

To believe is to have something counted or credited to our account or authority.

You may have to ponder on this idea for a little while to get the whole gist of the idea. And it’s worth every minute you spend meditating on this amazing word.

I’ve done another Sunday Prayer Letter on this verse, however I wanted to change direction just a tiny bit and bring in last week’s letter and show how by believing, things can happen.

Just a moment ago I looked up another big name preacher of old and guess what… it’s the same story of this word believe. If you someone doesn’t believe, well then, it will not be credited to their account. And it doesn’t matter what a person thinks… believing is the key.

This preacher I just mentioned didn’t believe in miracles or healing or casting out devils. He thinks this verse is about something else that has nothing to do with miracles.

I believe in miracles! Yes, I, John Choque, fully and completely believe in miracles! Amen.

God is a miracle working God… believe it… I mean fully believe and not accept others with their doubt. Doubt will always win. However, believing will also, always win. We get to choose… to believe or to doubt. That’s called Freedom. And not Slavery.

God gives us freedom.

Satan gives us slavery.

It’s that simple.

And our choice.

Here are a couple fresh examples from this week, of this verse in Mark happening in real time.

Again the verse is: Mark 11:24 (KJV) Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Example One: Friday I was in Longmont, Colorado banner preaching on the streets at 5th and Main, in old town. I was hot and a bit desiring for something like a treat or just something different… then suddenly I thought, yea, I would like some ice cream! I started laughing because there was no way I was going to stop preaching and go into an ice cream shop and buy me ice cream cone. I’m still chuckling because that sounds silly!

After about an hour and a half of believing that I would receive an ice cream… someone walked by me and asked me, “Do want an ice cream?” ….laughing and smiling, I said, “Chocolate!”

Moments later, I’m holding a cold sweet chocolate ice cream cup filled with awesomeness! Still laughing and full of joy, because I believe God’s word! It’s so utterly simple… believe.

I know and I fully realize that some things take years to bring into our life. Just like last Sunday’s Prayer Letter, I said I’ve been praying for an answer about Paul and Silas and their songs of praises. The very next day that my letter went out, God gave me a full and complete answer to my prayer. This prayer has been in action for around three years. The ice cream cone came in just under two hours! Big difference… why the time difference… you have to ask God that one on your own. Sorry.

Example Two: Same day; I’m walking home from the bus station and was asking God about getting feed. I was believing God for a meal today, or at least for tonight’s dinner. I’m now about one block from home… and suddenly a guy sitting on a bench reading a book says, to me, “Hey brother what’s you doing?” I said, “Been preaching in Longmont all day!” He then said, “Do you want a sandwich meal?” I said, “Sure!” He then gave me a big white bag, and it was a little heavy, he said, “Enjoy!” We talked for a little while, and he said, “I think God brought me out here to meet you!” All I could say was, “Great, praise the Lord!”

Walked the next block home and had a fantastic and surprisingly wonderful meal in a bag! It was absolutely delicious! I’m still smiling… and grinning from ear to ear! God is a miracle working God… but ONLY TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE IT! Yep, I do believe that God does miracles that we can not do on our own.

The big key in all this is giving all the glory to God and never ever taking the credit for the miracle or for what ever you are believing for. We are nothing without God, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Believe it!!!

Let’s take another quick look at our verse: Mark 11:24 (KJV) Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Now look at this one: John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Lastly look here: Romans 10:9 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Can you see it? Look closely, now take a serious consideration of these three key scriptures. Can you see it? Okay, a miracle is performed! Right before our eyes. However, many flip it off as, well of course.

Here it is: these three verses demonstrate that by believing, we are saved! We become a new creature in Christ. We are born-again. We become the children of God. Are names are written in the Book of Life. We are heaven bound when we die. Eternity with God is our destiny. You become a Christian because you believe in Christ. That is a MIRACLE!

Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! Glory to God!

So anyways, I’m excited for what God is doing. All we need to do is to believe God. And always keep believing. Because we don’t hold time in our hands. That is reserved for God.

May God show you his mercy and truth.

May God be so real that you believe.

May God give you his grace.

With all my love,

—JC.

Psalm 27:13-14 (KJV) I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Psalm 78:22 (KJV) Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:

Psalm 106:12 (KJV) Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

“Prayed and sang praises…”

Prayed And Sang Praises

Acts 16:25 (KJV) And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

Greetings!

It’s a great day in Jesus…

Let’s pray…

“Lord thank you for giving us the ability to sing praises unto God. What a great joy it is to praise our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! It’s because of you Jesus, not anything we have done, only you get the glory and the honour. Praise your holy name, Jesus! Glory and majesty to you Jesus! Amen and Amen.”

Over the last three years or possibly longer, I’ve had the same identical prayer before the Father. “What kind of prayer and praises did Paul and Silas do to cause an earthquake to shake the foundation of the prison and the head guard to immediately say, “What must I do to be saved?” What type of song would prompt someone to say that? Can we at Gospel Evangelist Church do those type of prayers and songs of praises unto God? In Jesus name. Amen.”

I’ll put the story from Acts here so you can read it easily…

Acts 16:25 (KJV) And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

Acts 16:26 (KJV) And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.

Acts 16:27 (KJV) And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

Acts 16:28 (KJV) But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

Acts 16:29 (KJV) Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,

Acts 16:30 (KJV) And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

As you can see, that was a sincere question that popped right out of the guards mouth! If he had said something else, God would have recorded it. Here is the rest of the story…

Acts 16:31 (KJV) And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Acts 16:32 (KJV) And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.

Acts 16:33 (KJV) And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

Acts 16:34 (KJV) And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.

Wow, what a great story!

Now of course I don’t fully expect God to respond to this letter. I just wanted to write it so that maybe you too would join me in prayer for the answer, if you want.

There is something amazing that happens when the saints of God pray and sing praises to God. Nearly every day, as I preach, I sing lots different praises unto God. But people don’t walk up to me and ask, What must I do to be saved?

This coming September 20, 2020, here in Boulder, Colorado; I hope to have our first real family time as the body of Christ to minister and preach and pray and sing praises unto God! I fully am expecting people to ask, ” What must I do to be saved?” I fully expect the foundations of the building we are in to shake! Why not??? Let ’em shake! Hallelujah! GREAT BIG SMILE.

Why can’t we as believers pray and sing praises that move earth and have God receive our praises?

Is it certain scriptures that are within the praise?

Could it be the spirit of Paul and the spirit of Silas that was that powerful?

What about the time that they sang; it was midnight?

I’m guessing that they were hurting and in real physical pain due to the whipping of lashes they received, could it be they were in such pain that their spirit was overpowering their bodies?

What other questions can I ask?

What am I not asking that I need to ask or pray?

Is this possible for today and for our church to pray and sing praises like Paul and Silas?

As you can see, I’ve placed here just a tiny sampling of the multitude of questions that I’ve asked in prayer about these verses. I can probably fill pages and pages of questions and thoughts that I’ve had about this. And still as of today, no real answer… I have received many ideas… but these ideas send me searching the scriptures and researching every where I can.

If you get any thoughts from the Lord about this, please would you share them with me. And possibly begin asking God and having conversations with others about these verses. What songs of praise did Paul and Silas sing, and what kind of prayers did they pray?

That’s it for now… I know a bit short… but with some thought provoking questions that just may fill your days with wonder…

God bless you my friend,

—JC.

Deuteronomy 10:21 (KJV) He is thy praise, and he is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.

1 Chronicles 29:13 (KJV) Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.

Psalm 9:1 (KJV) I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

Revelation 19:5 (KJV) And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.

“God is good…”

God Is Good

Psalm 73:1 (KJV) Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

Greetings!

Let’s pray…

“Lord thank you for hearing us today and everyday! You never cease to amaze us with your goodness and your mercy and your love for us. Even today we look to you Lord for all our need our provision and our healing in our bodies and our lives. Holy Spirit thank you for filling us with abundance. Every where we look we see your abundance. Thank you Father for providing us with such a beautiful place to live while we wait for our home in heaven with you! Hallelujah! We pray in your name Jesus. Amen.”

I don’t know what it is but whenever I pray I get so excited! I think I can feel my spirit rise up within me when I pray. That could be why I spend so much time in prayer every day of my life as a believer.

Today will be another short letter. I’m spending a huge amount of time preaching and preparing to preach and minister. The last two weeks I’ve made some mistakes on allowing myself to be sidetracked to doing dinners and bible studies… I know that sounds odd, but I’ve already decided to do all my current bible studies at the banner preach at whatever corner people are able to attend. And people come! Praise the Lord!

From now on, or until I get caught up with the hours I need for preaching each week, I’m just going to be more disciplined and push or run this race to win!

The problem is the long lock-down, quarantine we were ordered to do due to this pandemic Covid-19 virus scare. What joke. It took 48 days out of my life and the time needed for preaching.

I suppose most us are in the same boat, quarantine has not helped us at all, as far as I can tell. Getting sick is normal. Even getting really seriously sick is apart of life. When I was growing up I was sick a lot of my childhood days. Even lost one year of school due to sickness. Couldn’t leave the house for most of my 3rd grade and into my 4th grade, had a tutor instead. It was rough. Almost died. That’s pretty rough, to say the least.

Thinking about my early days, I think I was sick much of the time up to around my 7th grade. Really strange times for me, actually can’t remember much of it. Because of my mom, I was able to come through it all. Not sure how much help my dad was, but he did keep working and providing for us.

Childhood is something like when we get born-again, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Life doesn’t always go smoothly in the beginning of our new life with Jesus.

Probably the first six years of my Christian life was in daily turmoils. What a mess I was… I think that’s why I am so happy to be saved! I know who I was and so does God. Many people have no idea of the trials I had to get over to just become “normal!”

I just noticed that I’m rambling about my life and not yours. This Sunday Prayer Letter is for you, and not for me… or actually it is for both of us… because I love writing them and then reading them… they bless my life too! Isn’t God good?

Look at this verse that I found… Psalm 73:1 (KJV) Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

Do you see it? God is good… to us too, because we are apart of God’s family…

Romans 2:10 (KJV) But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

Romans 2:11 (KJV) For there is no respect of persons with God.

And in a big way in this verse… and actually there are dozens and dozens of verses to prove the point. That’s good!

1 Corinthians 12:13 (KJV) For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.

Going back around to the verse on the top of this letter and pointing out the words “clean heart” is one of the things that is key to getting to know God more and more each day. I’ll just put the verse here again…

Psalm 73:1 (KJV) Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

A clean heart is maybe another way of saying, be holy. Having any sin in our life is not being holy. This is one of the big areas in modern believers’ lives that plaque their walk with the Spirit.

So anyways, let’s just ask the Holy Spirit to help our infirmities, our struggles, our understanding, and help us do the right thing in life. Amen.

Here’s to having a clean heart,

—JC.

Psalm 69:16 (KJV) Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

Psalm 86:5 (KJV) For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

“What is truth…”

What Is Truth

Greetings!

Let’s pray…

“Lord thank you for being so good to us, and always being available to help us. Thank you for showing us the truth of who you are, and your salvation. Bless your holy name. We love you and honour you with our heart and lips, making mention of your mighty works. Thank you Lord. In your name Jesus, we pray. Amen.”

I sure am glad to have started putting little prayers in these letters. Writing them has brought a lot of joy to my heart. Strange how something so little can make a big difference.

So, once again this has been a very full week of preaching! I hurt my right ankle and couldn’t go out on Friday, I was glad to have put in lots of extra hours.

This will be another short letter… actually it will be my shortest yet! I think.

What I want to do (Holy Spirit led, of course!) is put a simple question to you.

Yep, just one question!

“WHAT IS TRUTH?”

That’s it… here’s what I would like for you to do, in regards to the above question… you don’t have to, it’s just an idea:

1. Who asked this question?

2. Why did they ask this question?

3. When did they ask this question?

4. What prompted them to ask this question?

5. Where did they ask this question?

6. What is truth?

Well there you go my friend!

I’ll also do this too, through this week.

It should be interesting. I sort of know the answers, but I think writing them down will be a fun little exercise. Not sure, but I hope so!

God bless you… may God’s mercy and truth be with you. Amen!

Respectfully,

—JC.

Psalm 25:10 (KJV) All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.

Proverbs 3:3-4 (KJV) 3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

“The Lord restoreth my soul…”

The Lord Restoreth My Soul

Greetings!

Let’s pray…

“Father thank you for always being near and answering our prayers. Sometimes the answer seems slow and other times it seems quick; either way, we know you hear our prayers, according to your word. We love you Lord and give thanks for all that you are doing in our lives. You know each one of us, even the number of hairs on our head! You are awesome and we praise you Jesus! And again, Praise the Lord, for ever more. Amen.”

Doesn’t it feel good to praise the Lord?

It just seems to me when things are just to difficult to handle, if I would just take a moment and lift up my praise to the Lord, the things that are getting to me seem to disappear, and I feel the peace of God… then nothing else seems to matter.

I love the Lord with all my heart. No matter what is going on in my life, I will always turn to the Lord for my salvation, and my deliverance, and my healing, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Getting back on track after such a long period of lock-down due to this Covid-19, 48 days to be exact for me… has been a physical challenge to say the least!

My 67 year old or rather my young 67 youthful body seems to want to do what it wants rather than what I want it to do! I worked to hard the first week and paid a little price for it. Then the next week it all got a touch better. And this week has been much better, however again I tend to overdo the work and today I feel every bone in my body. Oh well…

Thank you for praying for me too. Whenever I come to mind, just mention my name to God in prayer. I sure appreciate that!

One of the key scriptures that I really need at times is Psalm 23. It’s six verses of pure beauty and refreshment to my soul. I’ll put the entire Psalm from the King James Version here…

Psalm 23

1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

When I read this slowly and thoughtfully, it seems like the Holy Spirit ministers to my soul and refreshes it… I’m kinda laughing to myself, because it’s like a computer rebooting or restarting… everything now seems to be working instead of being frozen up! Sort of….

Anyways, today is just another short letter and a way for me to simply check in with you so that you know that I mention your name to God everyday in prayer. I don’t think I could go out everyday to preach for five hours without this daily prayer of lifting your name and all the names on my prayer list to God. It provides love for people in my heart. Praise the Lord!

Sure hope every little thing is working out…

Even when things seem to be going slowly or even quickly…

You are much loved and appreciated…

Should anything ever come up… remember that the word of God says to look up…

Mercy and grace,

—JC.

Mark 8:25 (KJV) After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

Genesis 9:16 (KJV) And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

“The secret place…”

The Secret Place

Greetings my dear friend!

Let’s pray…

“Father thank you for being so good to us, your children. You know who we are. You know where we are. You know what is going on in our life. You care for each one of us in such a special way. Your love truly is magnificient. Your mercy is so wanted and needed every day. Your grace is wonderful and fulfiling and all that we need, to see you one day in heaven, by the Lord Jesus Christ, our Saviour. Thank you Jesus for saving each one of us. In your name Jesus, we pray. Amen.”

Once again today’s letter is short. However, I wanted to do something a little different. In today’s world I think Psalm 91 is one of the most important passages of the Holy Scriptures that can be applied to our lives, even today!

I’m just going to put each of the sixteen verses of Psalm 91 here for you to read slowly and thoughtfully. I’ve separated each verse so that it would be a little easier to focus on one single verse at a time. As you read, stop after each verse and think about it for a moment. Possibly the Holy Spirit will show you something unique for your life?

My hope is that every word of God comes alive in your heart. So here goes…

PSALM 91, KJV

1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Sure hope Psalm 91 was good for you.

I love this Psalm.

Psalm 91 has been a main stay for me over all these many many years.

May God’s mercy abound in your life,

—JC.

Proverbs 30:5 (KJV) Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Luke 4:4 (KJV) And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

“The Thoughts of The Righteous Are Right…”

The Thoughts Of The Righteous Are Right

Proverbs 12:5 (KJV) The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.

Proverbs 16:3 (KJV) Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.

Greetings!

Let’s pray…

“Lord thank you for givng us good thoughts to think on. Thank you for helping us to commit our works to you Lord. Thank you for establishing our thoughts, thoughts that are good and right in your sight. Thank you for counseling us in your word and teaching us how to do your word in our lives. Thank you for your grace and mercy. In your name Jesus we pray. Amen.”

Today is a very short letter, maybe I should just call it a note! This week has been extreme in getting back to work after being off so much in this Covid-19 lock-down. I thought I could just get right back to work at the same level of intensity… however, this has wipped me out.

I suppose that is why I was checking my thoughts. I don’t want thoughts of evil, or of depression, or even of sickness. when I got up this morning, I nearly immediately began praying, this idea of my thoughts kept coming to me.

So, being a Christian and a Minister… I went to God’s word to look up some verses on “thoughts” and wow, was I pleasantly surprised. Thoughts are very important to God!

Initially, I was thinking that thoughts might be a simple matter in life. However, the more I read this morning on “thoughts” the more I realized that God must be actively involved in our life to create the right thoughts.

There are about 40 verses in the Old Testament and about 13 verses in the New Testament on this word “thoughts”… they connect us to God in an unique way… what I mean is that God’s word says that he has thoughts too… right along with us having thoughts! I don’t know why I think that to be so weird?

We are truly made in the image of God!

Isn’t life amazing when we recognize that there is a God in heaven?

This week I meet with dozens of people who don’t believe there is a God or a heaven!!!

I could say that their thoughts are not good thoughts!

So my dear friend, let’s both think right thoughts in accordance with God’s word.

May your week coming be one of God showing you how to think, and how to walk in his thoughts.

In Jesus name,

—JC.

Psalm 33:11 (KJV) The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

Psalm 94:19 (KJV) In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.

“Hid thy talent in the earth…”

Hid Thy Talent In The Earth

Matthew 25:25 (KJV) And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

Greetings!

Let’s pray…

“Father, thank you for all that you are doing in the world today. There is so much beautiful evidence that you are truly working in the earth and are concerned for all your people. You never cease to amaze me with all your glory. As my dear friend and I pray together to you Lord, may our prayers be heard, may they be bold in your sight. Lord, together we ask, that your glory be available to each of us. I’m not quite sure what I mean by that Lord, I just know that your glory is so very powerful and when we are covered in your glory, great things seem to happen. And I give praise and honour to you Lord for covering my friend and I at this time in history, for sure. I asked my dear friend to pray with me, Lord, because yesterday you asked that I start my letter off with a prayer… I just thought that including my friend would be sort of special and fun to pray together, even if we are apart… 6 feet apart, lol… just playing Lord… I realize we are in somewhat serious times. Lord Jesus, you are our hope and we trust in you for all our needs, no matter what they may be. Thank Holy Spirit for giving us the power and boldness to pray to our Father, in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. Amen.”

Thank you for praying with me. I never really know what to pray, so I just pray whatever comes to me, hoping that what I say is correct and proper with the word of God. So as I was speaking out loud to the Lord, I was typing what I was saying, at least that’s what I was trying to do!

Another thought that I got earlier this week was something like, since this is called a Sunday Prayer Letter, why don’t I just start off every letter with a prayer? Funny, my first thought was, well sure, that makes sense, how come I haven’t been doing that all along? I don’t know. But today, I did! God bless you my dear friend!

Earlier this week I was studying the passage about the parable of the talents. It’s in Matthew 25:14-30, KJV. And if you continue reading from verse 31 to the end of chapter 25, verse 46; it sort of continues the discussion, but with a slight turn in it and kind of makes a point that there is more to the parable of the talents than what is actual read or understood. So that, by reading the entire chapter, a student of God’s word can gain a fuller understanding on the subject of “gold, silver, and precious stones” and with the subject of “treasure in heaven.”

What I’ll do here in this short letter today is just bring up one small point that really made an impact to me.

It’s here in verse 25… Matthew 25:25 (KJV) And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

Take a close look at the words, “…hid thy talent in the earth…”

The word “earth” could possibly be used with the word “world”… not exactly sure, but that’s what I picked up when I was studying.

Why is that important? I think it’s because there is so much talk about not serving the world, but rather serving the one who made the world.

I’m not referring to unbelievers, they don’t know the truth. However, as a child of God, a born-again believer we come under a different set of things. We know better! At least we are suppose to know the truth, because the truth has set us free from sin and death, and has given us eternal life. The problem lies in the fact that many of God’s children know nothing, or very little of the word of God, the Holy Bible! That is so sad to me… because it’s one of the easiest things to fix in our life… just go get the bible and study it or read it or listen to it… daily!

When a Christian buries their gifts, their calling, their ministry, their work, and their “talent” in the world, this action will produce “wood, hay, stubble” …in contrast to producing “gold, silver, precious stones” …as when a believer gives and builds and produces in the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 3:11-15 (KJV) For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Matthew 6:19-21 (KJV) Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

These two verses, I have spent probably two years or more in meditating on and digging deep into these verses. There is so much more to gain when a student gives time into studying the word of truth. Sometimes it takes a very long time to gain a fuller understanding of the word of the Lord.

However, by building a sure foundation in your spirit, your eyes will be opened to the truth in the word, and in the world, and what Satan is doing, and also the possible time-line that you are on.

Knowing just where you are in life, and more specifically where you are in your own time-line on earth can produce a lot of wisdom in many areas of life. This is brought about by the Holy Ghost and by his teaching you the word of the Lord.

It’s an awesome way to live!

It’s not what the world teaches…

It’s what God teaches;

Amen.

(Today) May 10, 2020, Sunday, I will be re-starting my street preaching work. The State of Colorado is opening up slowly and particularly where I live in Boulder County, this county is taking extra strict measures towards the Covid-19 virus. Therefore, I’m not quite sure what to expect, but I will, God willing, be flying my gospel banner at 11:30 AM and preaching intercession for every soul that passes me by, and handing out gospel tracts to everyone I talk to, and will be working all the way through to 5:30 PM. 39 Working days have passed since my last day of preaching and the lock-down occurred. I’m a little uncertain… this takes much faith and trust in Jesus Christ! Thank you Lord!!!

Thank you my friend for being faithful to the Lord, to this ministry, and to everyone that needs your help and prayers. You’re truly loved and appreciated, in Jesus name. Amen.

Jude 24 (KJV) Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

Jude 25 (KJV) To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

—JC.

Exodus 25:39 (KJV) Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels.

(This is the first mention of the word talent in the Old Testament.) (‘First Mention’ is a key method of gaining understanding in the word of truth.)

Matthew 18:24 (KJV) And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.

(This is the first mention of the word talent in the New Testament. These two scriptures have a lot of meaning, and can provide understanding that is not easily gained.)

“Inspiration of God…”

Inspiration of God

Job 32:8 (KJV) But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2 Peter 1:21 (KJV) For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

Greetings my dear friend!

As I write this prayer letter, it’s Saturday late afternoon, and my only day off from preaching and ministering. When I moved to Boulder, the Lord directed me to set aside every Saturday as a Sabbath rest unto the Lord. This inspiration of God came on Friday, May 5, 2017. This coming Friday, May 8, 2020 will be just about exactly 3 years that I’ve been faithful and very grateful for this inspiration of God!

This is also why I wanted to write today about the “Inspiration of God” and how this actually works in the word of truth and in every day life. Also this inspiration of God has been so keen in these last many weeks of the current (2020) COVID-19 Pandemic and subsequent ‘stay-at-home-lock-down’ executive orders passed down from the White House to all the governors. What a strange time this has been… sort of like, are we, as Christians ready for the second coming or possibly the antichrist? Strange times indeed!

So how does the inspiration of God come to us? The easy answer is, it just comes! However, we can also look to the result of what happens next after we receive the inspiration of God. Namely, we can see that whatever is happening in our life seems to be outside our spirit and not in our control.

Another way to look at this is the thing that we were working on, such as a plan, or a design, or a prayer, or just about anything at all… there suddenly appears the answer right in front of us.

The problem with this action lies in our response after the inspiration of God. Think about that for just a moment ………….. I’ll be right back!

The answer to the problem is in this story…

Luke 17:15-19 (KJV) And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

Do you see it?

Do you hear it?

Here’s something else to look at…

Hebrews 3:4 (KJV) For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

Take a quick look at this scripture and see if you can see the problem…

Romans 1:21 (KJV) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

I see this so often on the streets when I’m preaching… not from everyone, but from enough people to make it obvious to me. Here’s another passage of scripture that has come by inspiration of God; that may show the end result of not knowing the problem, and not taking proper action as per the word of the Lord.

Here it is… hang on, it’s a tough one for sure, and one that many hate… are you ready…?

2 Timothy 3:1-5 (KJV) This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

See, I told you it was a tough one! Daily I work on being holy, being thankful, being more of what this next Psalm says to do…

Psalm 100:1-5 (KJV) Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

My life, has really been filled with inspiration of God and I’m so very thankful to acknowledge the Lord in all my life; like what is written in the book of Job… “…the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.” That’s Job 32:8, it’s written at the top of the letter.

The Holy Ghost has taught me over all these years on how to be inspired and what it appears like so that I can see it or hear it or have my heart filled with understanding… I liken it to a “miracle!” Because of how I see the words in 2 Peter 1:21… “…holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.”

The question might be something like, are you holy? What is holy? In one word, it means “separated.” More fully it relates to being separated from the lusts of this world (Mark 4:19 (KJV) And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.)

Also not being polluted as per this verse, because it shows the opposite of holy, which is polluted: Acts 21:28 (KJV) “…into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.”

In the Old Testament we can see another reference to polluted… it caught my attention because, today as I write this letter, it is the Sabbath… and I’ve given this day to the Lord, not to the world and its pleasures. (Please, I’m not special or anything at all… I actually consider myself nothing, maybe a zero. Please don’t respond to this, because this is a way that I try to stay humble and submitted to God in all things. Because I truly am nothing without my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Yep, I’ve proved it too many times! Thank you Lord, I love you.)

Here is that verse…

Ezekiel 20:16 (KJV) Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols.

So as I begin winding down in this book chapter size of a letter, I must say that inspiration of God comes in many forms and fashions. The best way to be consistent in receiving from the Lord is to never leave the Lord, always trust in the Lord with every thing you do, everything! Ask the Holy Spirit to help you in any area of your life that seems hidden from God… because it’s not. By surrendering to the Comforter, he is able to teach you all the things about Jesus and what Jesus taught, and actually unfold and reveal the word of truth to your spirit and at the same time give you boldness to follow through with diligence in following the Lord in all your life no matter what.

God is a holy God, and God looks for those that have a hunger to be with him and to be holy and perfect. God will be right there to lift you up and to forgive whenever a fall is committed. Never hang onto to any sin… let it go and ask Jesus for forgiveness, because Jesus is quick to forgive. Don’t let Satan steal or destroy any part of your life. Satan is a liar and a thief. Satan is real and he wants only to kill you and every part of your life. Resist the devil, command him to leave, and stay out of where Satan rules. You know the places… stay out of all the lusts of this world… and make a firm foundation in your spirit with the word of truth. Amen?

Fill your life with praise and glory to God…

Fill your life with God’s holy word…

Fill your heart with understanding…

And… and… and again I say… And, when you’ve done all to stand… STAND!

Revelation 6:17 (KJV) For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Look here…

Ephesians 6:10-18 (KJV) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.

“FATHER… FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM, AND THE POWER, AND THE GLORY, FOR EVER. AMEN.”

Be inspired my friend,

—JC.

John 20:22 (KJV) And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

Genesis 2:7 (KJV) And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

“Being a little frustrated…”

Greetings my dear friend!

The Lord is always the Lord, no matter what is going on in life. Even in this strange and weird time in the world. Thank you; “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” (Hebrews 13:8, KJV) Also here, (Malachi 3:6, KJV) “For I am the LORD, I change not;…” (What’s interesting about these scripture references is that one is from the Old Testament and one is from the New Testament!)

Thank you Lord. Amen.

I really don’t have much to write today, which is not my normal way of doing this Sunday Prayer Letter. However, the current executive orders of “stay-at-home” has kind of gotten to me this week.

I have plans of going back to work, street preaching, on May 1st, but yesterday the Colorado Governor extended his executive order for two more weeks. Originally he had it set for April 26th, the Country was set at April 30th.

Being a little frustrated with this “Covid-19” and what I see as I do my research into reality; I see a mix of mis-information that is currently, and greatly, bothering me, because this pandemic reminds me very closely to “9-11” which happened here in USA; and it changed the world. Now, this new event can change the world even more, coming more in line with the antichrist.

The biggest concern that I have is this huge forceful push for “Contact Tracing” and the implications of it now and into the near future. This action doesn’t look good from my point of view. Specifically as per the “end-times” and “Revelation prophecy” in which being extremely close to God will be required to be able to successfully navigate through these times.

A possible warning that I may give here is, do what you can to not be tested for coronavirus. It could be possible that this manditory testing will be for every man (male and female) on earth. This testing has the potential capability to capture every persons DNA.

Your DNA is very important information that truly should not be in the hands of every government on earth. Yes, I know that sounds radical… and it is.

Anyways, I don’t want to keep going on in this letter with this topic… it is to much, at least for right now. Because, I may be seriously incorrect in my observations and conclusions. So, this letter could be just a heads up!

God bless you my dear friend,

—JC.

Revelation 22:20 (KJV) He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Revelation 22:21 (KJV) The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

“Gone in the way of Cain…”

Gone In The Way Of Cain

Jude 1:11 (KJV) Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

Greetings!

Thank you so very much for being apart of my life my dear friend! When I pray to the Lord in my daily prayer time, specifically mentioning your name to God, I feel such a warm feeling of gratitude and thankfulness for having this opportunity to do what I am doing. Prayer is so very important in a believers lifestyle. When I talk to Christians, I can tell quickly what can of life they live in the Lord… it’s all about their prayer life.

Prayer life is what keeps the hunger for God alive in the heart. What I mean by prayer life is not asking God over and over for stuff that you need… nor even asking God for help when you’ve done everything possible in life without God’s help and now whatever it is you’re doing you can’t do, then people turn to God in prayer. Please know that God hears that cry of desperation, however it is much better to be in a daily talk with God about life and about what is going on… and just being a friend of God!

Doesn’t that that sound wonderful… a friend of God?

After I typed that, I took a short break to think about that phrase… a friend of God. It makes me grin from ear to ear! I think that is what Jesus called us… let me look it up….

yea it’s right here…

John 15:13 (KJV) Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

John 15:14 (KJV) Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

John 15:15 (KJV) Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

Actually that phrase is right here in…

James 2:23 (KJV) And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

God calls us, friend…

Isaiah 41:8 (KJV) But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.

Exodus 33:11 (KJV) And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend….

So getting back to talking with God as in prayer… if we truly are a friend of God, then let’s talk to God as friends do! Friends don’t ignore each other… no, they help and care and are concerned for us and we for them… that’s being a friend!

I know that life gets in the way, sort of speak, and distance causes separation, and even unresolved conflicts can strain a friendship, but let’s do better… I suppose that is one of the many reasons why I write this Sunday Prayer Letter… it’s one more way to touch people with my own thoughts and what I’m talking to God about, and what I’m studying, or even what I’m going through in life.

Yes I know that a letter is not the best way, but sometimes only a letter can do because of distance… God wrote a letter… he doesn’t call it his sunday prayer letter…. he calls it The Holy Bible!

We can also give him a call… we just use our spiritual phone system… the line is never busy and the call never goes to voice mail! God has an amazing high tech heavenly system, doesn’t he?

I always find it fascinating how I start my letter in one direction and then quickly the Holy Spirit takes it another… I love that this is God’s letter to you my friend! I just happen to be the current secretary taking dictation! God is good! Praise his holy name!

Here’s an interesting fact, if God is speaking… he always directs the conversation back to his word, the word of truth! If whatever God is sharing or teaching or showing and you can’t find it in The Holy Bible, then it can’t be trusted… no, not at all. The word of God is our supreme standard and must always take precedence in our friendship with God!

This is why studying the word of truth is so key to growing as a Christian. Searching the scriptures is what is daily needed to discern what is going on in life. Our own thoughts and ideas can’t be trusted. Other people’s ideas, thoughts, conversation and suggestions can’t be fully trusted either. Whatever people say to us, it must be in The Holy Bible!

Because of this great importance placed on the word, Satan is in a continual endeavor to change the bible into a book of misinformation. If Satan is successful in completing his task of converting a bible into his own work and exalting himself as god, then Satan is knocking at the door of life on earth and the time of the antichrist is near at hand. Beware!

Referring back to our main verse:

Jude 1:11 (KJV) Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

Take a look at the words, “gone in the way of Cain,” …can you see a parallel to what could be going on with the current state the world is in right now… namely Covid-19 and the global pandemic in 184 countries of somewhere between 197 to 247 countries in the world, currently?

Let me put a reference here about “gone in the way of Cain”…

Genesis 4:9-14 (KJV) 9-And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? 10-And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper? And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground. 11-And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother’s blood from thy hand; 12-When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth. 13-And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. 14-Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me.

Disclaimer Notice: It’s important to remember to search the scriptures for yourself. Whenever I give and mention bible verses, look them up on your own and read the verse in context to the previous verses and subsequent verses, looking for the full story that is being referenced. And if possible, find corroborating scriptures in other books of the bible, and see if they are in both testaments. Due diligence is key to grasping the truth of the word of God, and thus finding truthful ways to live them in real life. In this way, you won’t be easily swayed or persuaded to believe a certain doctrine when that doctrine is not a biblical teaching. Amen?

Another important element of this verse, Jude 1:11, is this… “ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward”… Balaam was an old testament prophet of God who chose to make money instead of obey God. I think this is important because we both have heard of preachers and Christians who have stopped following God and went after the riches of this world and all that the world has to offer. This action is accepting a devil that gives power to gain and power to exercise authority under Satan’s domain. It’s a very bad place to be!

All of our provision must come from God. Today is a great day to be learning this, while we are in this global pandemic and under “stay-at-home”, “shelter-in-place” executive orders from our state Governors and the President of the United States. (If you’re reading this later in time, what we are going through is a very big deal! It’s worth the time to do proper research on the subject of this Covid-19 pandemic.)

There is so much more I can talk about in this letter, however, as my usual, this letter is a chapter in a book! Hey, that sounds like a good idea… put these letters into a book! Interesting and something I’ve thought about a few times. We’ll see what happens!

Let’s pray together, that we are safe my dear friend…

Let’s pray and ask God for our provision…

Let’s pray in full accordance with God’s word…

Let’s pray that everyone is awake to the truth…

Let’s pray that people understand the need for God…

We’ll pray in our Lord and Saviours name, Jesus Christ.

Thank you my dear friend,

—JC.

“The cities about them in like manner…”

The Cities About Them In Like Manner

Jude 1:7 (KJV) Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Greetings my dear friend!

For well over an hour, I’ve been struggling with writing today’s letter… why? Because I knew what verse I was to write on well over an hour ago and I didn’t want to write it. So, I’m giving in to the Spirit of Truth so that I can get this letter written before it gets to late; it’s already almost 4:00 pm! It takes about two hours to write my Sunday Prayer Letter and get it ready to send out. Sometimes it takes even much longer.

So why didn’t I want to write on this verse in Jude, namely the one about Sodom and Gomorrha? Not sure exactly, but what these cities are famous for are the lifestyle that they chose. In today’s world this is a hot topic with lots of rebuke towards anyone who brings up the topic against it. Therefore, we know that there are higher sources that are in control of what is happening here.

The other thing that bothered me was that I live in a city that is very very much in favour for this choice. Plus, I’m a street preacher here in this city! Next month will be one full year of preaching all over the city… to the point now, that many many people know me and the city officials know me and just about every devil in town knows me! I’m sort of chuckling to myself as I write this… I think it’s great to know this… because I don’t think much about it… but God knows exactly what’s going on… and he is watching me!

One more reason why I didn’t want to write on this verse is that we are still highly involved in the State lock-down for the Covid-19 pandemic. This is has been a very difficult week for me. I’m struggling a lot and suffering, probably like many are… I’m not one to be locked in and not have the freedom to move about. As you know, I’ve lived on the road for four decades and love the feeling of moving about.

Let me also say that this verse, Jude 1:7, is on today, Saturday as I write this letter, and is in line with how last week’s letter was in regards to asking all of us to read one verse a day in the book of Jude. I’ve been doing this and really enjoying what the Holy Spirit has been showing me. I did miss one day, and made it up quickly.

I think I’m going to put today’s verse here and talk about it a little…

The word “even” in the KJV tells the reader to look at the previous words or verse to see how this current verse flows together in a single topic.

Naming the cities here also is key to knowing that God knows what is going on. The reason I say that is because on the streets where I work as a preacher and minister, I get people talking to me about all kinds of topics that most ministers never hear inside of a church building.

That sounds funny to me, but it’s true… why? I think it’s because I’m out with the sinners preaching salvation in Jesus Christ! Whereas in a church building, most everyone is already saved or possibly in a backslidden state, but most everyone is aware that God is real and God is not dead and God means what he says; and the usual message is not about getting saved in Jesus Christ… no, it’s normally about how to live a better life, or something that encourages people, or teaches them how to live for God, or whatever; but I’m pretty sure it’s not a heaven or hell message! Right?

Take a look at the phrase, “the cities about them in like manner”… what I see here is not just the cities that where next to these two main centers, but because of the context of this verse, could it be that God is talking about any place that is similar in lifestyle choices?

Think about it for a moment… “the cities about them in like manner” …what manner is God talking about? What is the word “like” doing here? What is God saying to us in 2020… because this was written a very long time ago? Does the nature of man change? Does man still do the same stuff as then? Does man truly need to be saved?

Or my favorite, I hear on the streets… “we don’t need a god, we are god!” (Sounds really stupid doesn’t it? But millions believe it with all their heart!) Oh well.

As I’m writing this, I’m experiencing an eminence amount of pressure from all sides of me… it’s incredible… I push onward in frustration and evil persecution… isn’t that weird? Why is it that I’m getting this from just writing a letter? It all started as soon as I sat down to write… probably two hours of continuous pressure.

This is why as Christians, we must push onward and not lay down to the world and take up the world as our source and our life and our way of doing things! The world will destroy every believer in Christ! The world will take every advantage it can to steal, to kill, and to destroy anything that is of God… if you’re a believer in Jesus Christ, a child of God, you are on this list of Satan.

In Jude 1:7… “the cities about them in like manner” are all about being an example… and this means an example for today and for tomorrow and for any city, any state, any country… any individual, any where! If someone is about them in like manner, then as per God’s word we know exactly what is going to happen to them. Be alert!

As I get ready to start going back out onto the streets of Boulder to preach and minister, probably May 1st… I’m thinking about what I may encounter. I know it’s not going to be like it was prior to this month long lock-down… people are agitated and looking for a way to lash out and release themselves of this pressure that has been pent up.

The last few words here, “suffering the vengeance of eternal fire” …tell of the end result of their choices. What does the scripture say, Galatians 6:7 (KJV) Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

So we can see that our choices do have consequences. We can also easily see that God is about “eternal fire” …this is why I really like the phrase, “FEAR GOD” …because God is real… God is not dead!

From my point of view as a preacher, I just give out the word of truth, the gospel of Christ and let people make their own choices and own decisions. If God wants to save them, then that is his work, not my work. I preach… God saves! We are partners! Praise the Lord!!!

As soon as I wrote the last sentence, these scriptures came to mind…

Ezekiel 3:18 (KJV) When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

Ezekiel 3:19 (KJV) Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

And it goes on to say…

Ezekiel 3:20 (KJV) Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

Ezekiel 3:21 (KJV) Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

This too…

Ezekiel 33:3-5 (KJV) If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.

Ezekiel 33:6 (KJV) But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.

Lastly another one…

Hebrews 13:17 (KJV) Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

I suppose this is why I am so driven to continue to preach… in fact yesterday in my bible study and prayer, I heard myself say… “Banner preaching has become my life!” Immediately I began to cry and fell on the floor before the Lord… I was overwhelmed…

Jesus Christ is the reason I’m alive and not dead!

Jesus Christ is the only God I look to…

Jesus Christ is my Lord and my Saviour…

Jesus Christ is my all and all…

Jesus Christ is REAL!

I’m not sure if this letter is of any good to you my friend, but it’s something I wrote for this Sunday morning…

I pray that there is something in this letter that you can use in your life today, and tomorrow.

In Jesus name,

—JC.

Psalm 23:1 (KJV) The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. .

Psalm 23:2 (KJV) He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

Psalm 23:3 (KJV) He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

“Even the wicked…”

This April 5th letter may be heard on the podcast show ‘Touching People For Heaven‘ with your host Preacher John. Enjoy the show!

Even The Wicked

Proverbs 16:4 (KJV) The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Greetings my dear friend!

Okay, now where is John going in this one? It’s a tough title to swallow… and is it for real? Does the bible actually say this? Did God really create the wicked for the day of evil? Let’s read and see what this is all about!

Now that I’ve got your attention and hopefully have opened your mind and spirit to take in some interesting and possibly new information; this is going to be a one-of-a-kind letter… yes, Preacher John’s Sunday Prayer Letter! Ain’t it great!

Let’s start by stating for all those who may be reading this at a later time, due to my sequential file system; because I write my prayer letter’s every single Saturday and then place each one in this unique file system. All the Sunday Prayer Letters that I’ve ever written will be able to be read over time. The idea that I started with, and the idea that I still maintain, is that each letter builds upon the previous. This is simply an idea, not sure yet if it is an actual fact; I think time will tell if the prayer letters are truly sequential in nature and in spirit. Until then, we’ll just praise the Lord!

The first thing here is let’s talk about this verse…

Proverbs 16:4 (KJV) The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

1. “The LORD hath made…” …By recognizing that it is God who created the heavens and the earth and all that is within them, we can know for sure that everything here is by God’s creative ability and his own discretion, he’s the boss and there are none others!

2. “…all things for himself:…” …Here we can easily see the reason why God created; he created everything for himself, not for you or I, or for Satan, or for the Angels, nor for any other thing we can think of… is that true? Yes.

3. “…yea,…” …This simple single word says a lot more than we realize. It says that the word agrees with the Word and with God the creator and together this agrees with the Godhead. The scripture is very clear about this word agree, and is referred to throughout the Old and New Testament. It also records that God agrees with himself because there is no other authority higher than himself. (This is recorded about the covenant made with Abraham.)

4. “…even the wicked…” …God is including the evil in the world. (This will be my main topic as we go further into this letter.) This also includes Lucifer, the devil Satan.

5. “…for the day of evil.” …I think we can see a small glimpse of why God created the wicked; but of course it’s not just for a specific day in time. It includes the day of judgment, and I think it may also include our day-to-day judgment, testing, or trials, or maybe even our tribulations that we encounter in our life. (This is what may be called a test, or rather ‘trying’ as per recorded in James 1:3 (KJV) Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.)

As I write this letter, Saturday April 4, 2020, the world is in a Global Covid-19 Pandemic. Something like 184 of the 247 countries are involved in this strange event, (which I personally see as a test of the antichrist global system of control – still to be fully implemented, but getting closer year by year. Revelation is coming upon us… we are living the beginning stages.)

(DISCLAIMER: Please note, that the exact numbers are approximate, and my personal outlook and conclusion and prophecy is my own, not sure if it’s from the Spirit. Thank you.)

The key point of today’s prayer letter is to bring up the notion that this pandemic could be a testing and a trial for our faith as believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. The question is: do we have faith in God, or not?

Here are some key verses to consider…

Romans 5:3 (KJV) And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

Romans 5:4 (KJV) And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

Romans 8:28 (KJV) And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

2 Corinthians 4:17 (KJV) For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

If that is not enough, here are some more…

Matthew 5:10 (KJV) Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:11 (KJV) Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Matthew 5:12 (KJV) Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

(Yes, I realize these last three verses seem to not apply, however, this pandemic is no where near over, and all the persecution to the saints has not even begun; because there are a lot of believers calling this Covid-19 for what it may actually be. Be alert my friend!)

And again, may I add some more…

2 Corinthians 11:23-27 (KJV) Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

I just have to add this one too…

2 Corinthians 12:9 (KJV) And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Yes and Amen. The power of Christ may rest upon you, and me, and all those we know in the Lord! In Jesus name. Amen.

If this Covid-19 is a trial or a tribulation of sorts, are we passing the test, the exam that many of us have not ever experienced?

Do we as believers, truly put our trust in the Lord Jesus Christ?

Are we as believers, scared and frustrated with what is happening around us?

Is God providing for us or are we as believers, worried we won’t have a paycheck or even die?

If as believers we die, do we as believers, have the assurance in our heart that we would go to heaven?

When you read this letter, please don’t think that I’m simply rambling… no, I’m touching on a huge topic that cannot be included in this letter. The key point is: Trust in the Lord.

The following are some verses that back this key point up…

Psalm 37:3 (KJV) Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

Jeremiah 17:7 (KJV) Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.

1 Corinthians 15:58 (KJV) Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

In all my study of the word of God, one book continues to rise upon the other books of the bible; this is figuratively speaking, no one book is greater than the other, each of the 66 books of God’s word is his word to us. Absolutely.

Therefore, this one book is the last book of the New Testament, prior to Revelation… it’s called, The General Epistle of Jude” in the King James Bible. (Funny, I think I wrote last week’s letter from the Book of Jude!)

I love this little one chapter book, with just twenty-five verses! Have you ever thought or asked God why is this the last book of the New Testament? I have. (Some call Revelation, a book by itself, or the book that is not revealed as of yet, and again further the book that is still being fulfilled, or that one that has not yet been fulfilled.) I think most of us agree that Revelation is the most unique and peculiar book in the entire suite of sixty-six books!

I hear so often, read Proverbs: one chapter a day. I hate that… it leads into making yourself wise unto yourself and not allowing the Holy Spirit any way into your heart. Whoa, that’s tough words there! This is what I would rather here preachers say, read one verse a day from the Book of Jude!

Just ONE VERSE A DAY, SIX DAYS A WEEK, WILL GIVE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN REALIZE! This is just 6 days a week, Sunday through Friday… take Saturday off, the Sabbath. Four weeks a month is 24 verses plus an extra work day is an easy 25 days a month of work and 25 days a month of Jude!

In fact, as I’m writing this, I too am going to do this starting on Sunday, tomorrow! I like this, I’ve never heard this from anyone, and never have done it either. This could be something that the Holy Spirit wants us all to do… at least the people reading my Sunday Prayer Letters!

When we all read Jude…

…let’s read with the Holy Spirit,

…let’s ask the Spirit of Truth to teach us God’s word, and

…let’s ask the Comforter to remind us of all the scriptures that Jesus taught and referred to during his ministry on earth.

(Before you start, please ask Jesus to baptize you with the Holy Ghost and to receive the sign; they shall speak with new tongues; —Mark 1:8 and Mark 16:17, KJV.) (New tongues does not mean in French or German or Spanish, or whatever other known languages are on earth!) (Tongue means Language. Therefore, Spirit Language!) (How stupid can people be, please stop listening to Satan!)

These are all key scriptures talking about the Holy Ghost. I’m not adding something that is not in God’s word.

Well, that sounds like fun to me… maybe we should all write a “book report” or rather a “scripture report” and maybe tell others about what we are reading. Let’s all reach out to people as we go through our day… I realize we are currently, “social-distancing” but this will end, and there are a few different ways we can reach out; just like this letter here I am writing to you my dear friend! Maybe you can forward it to others that you know, or you can share portions of the letter on public media, or pick a verse and write about it to your friends and family… there are lots of ways to going about touching people for heaven! Amen.

God bless you,

—JC.

Jude 1:14 (KJV) And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

Jude 1:20 (KJV) But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

“Preserved in Jesus Christ…”

Preserved in Jesus Christ

Jude 1:1-2 (KJV) Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

Greetings my dear friend!

As I write this prayer letter, it is during the Global COVID-19 Pandemic. Personally, I’ve been self-quarantined since Wednesday, March 25, 2020. The State of Colorado “Stay-at-Home Order” began Thursday, March 26, 2020, 8:00 AM… to end Saturday, April 11, 2020.

Ironically so, this is my 45th year anniversary from my Honorable Discharge from the U.S. Navy; just after the ending of the Vietnam war (police action!). I left my ship, the U.S.S. Rigel AF-58, N.O.B., Norfolk, VA, on March 26, 1975. I immediately headed for Boulder, Colorado… arriving about March 28, 1975… today, as I write, is that anniversary! Glory to God!

And people say, every thing is just a coincidence. Of course, I don’t believe that… my belief, based upon the word of God, is that God is in control of his own creation and knows exactly what is going on and is in full and complete control. I also see in the scriptures that we, mankind: male and female, have a free will to choose to follow God or not to follow God. To be saved or not to be saved. To go to heaven or to hell. To be blessed or to be cursed. We can choose whom we serve!

God does not control mankind. For some, this is most difficult to understand. Genesis records that God made mankind in their own image, (Genesis 1:26). Remember, the Godhead is plural, not singular. This too is a most difficult concept for mankind to understand. However, it is scripture and fully documented throughout the Holy Scriptures.

Acts 17:29 (KJV) Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.

Romans 1:20 (KJV) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Colossians 2:8-9 (KJV) Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

You know, I find it so fascinating that as soon as I sit down to write this Sunday Prayer Letter, I go in a different direction than I previously was considering. And why is that? Well, it’s not because I don’t know what I am doing. Nor is it because Satan deviates my steps. It is because the Holy Ghost takes over and I begin to write from his inspiration! It’s sort of like, the words and phrases come up out of my belly or deep inside my spirit, my heart. Praise the Lord! God is a good God and a loving and kind God to all his children… even if they don’t recognize God as their source of all in this world.

Now back to the main verses for this letter, Jude. The King James Bible titles this book, “The General Epistle of Jude”… I like that, it sounds official!

Jude 1-2 (KJV) Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.

The words “preserved in Jesus Christ” made an impression on me and thus is the title to my letter. During difficult times in life, knowing that we are preserved in Jesus Christ, we can rest assured that God the Father knows how to preserve us unto the day we are called home. Of course I need to also mention that this is not in regards to every single man, male or female, on earth! Why? Because to be preserved in Jesus Christ, we each need to receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. This is to be born again, to become a new creature in Christ. Look at these verses here…

2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Galatians 6:15 (KJV) For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

Due to this newness of creation, we are preserved in Jesus Christ! Does any thing that effect this world, effect our preservation in Jesus Christ? No! We are newborn babes in Jesus Christ, and that is why we all desire, at least I hope you desire, to feed on the milk of the word! Look at these verses…

1 Peter 2:1-3 (KJV) Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

Could it be that Satan does not want any of God’s children to feed on the word of God? Could it be that Satan will do whatever it takes to stop God’s children from desiring the word and growing in mercy and peace and love, which God wants to multiply in our lives? Could it be that the world that we are currently living in, and as of this letter, the world in a global pandemic of COVID-19 has captured nearly every country and citizen in this world?

Listen my friend, if God is real… and he is… then God the Father knows precisely how to preserve you in Jesus Christ, the Son of God! Hallelujah! Glory to God! This is a stone cold fact… God is the Creator of heaven and earth… and of you my dear friend! And that’s good news!

I hear way to many Christians say that they are not sure if they are going to heaven when they die. My question is how can you say you are born again and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you are not sure of your eternal salvation? Being preserved in Jesus Christ is fundamental to the Christian faith!

Can you see again how Satan (John 10:10) works to steal, and to kill, and to destroy a believers life? Much of Satan’s work begins in the Christians life by stopping them from feeding on the milk of the word of God. I hear this much of the time in my preaching on the streets. Christians come up to me and speak with apparent knowledge… but many don’t even know the Holy Bible and all that God has written in it… my heart feels like it wants to break right now as I write this… Satan is working to destroy the faith of every believer, by the works of Satan; even during this wicked virus that is being allowed to sweep around the world.

John 10:7-11 (KJV) Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

Be alert during this crucial time, or rather, I like to use the words, during Satan’s test for his antichrist and his system of control, so that all of God’s creation will bow down and worship the beast, Satan, which is his ultimate objective; always has been since heaven. Amazing!

2 John 7 (KJV) For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

Always remember, by constantly reading the scriptures; feeding your spirit on the milk of the word, your life my dear friend is preserved in Jesus Christ. The reason that I say to feed on the milk is to constantly battle the deceiver who is always trying to deceive and divide your attention away from God and towards this world, and all the world has to offer.

Thank you for being saved and trusting always in the Lord… fore I look forward to the time when we can visit in heaven… and on earth, too… but to know that each of us will be in heaven is a joy to my spirit!!!

You are God’s elect…

I rejoice with you…

May mercy and peace and love be multiplied in your life…

Preserved in Christ,

—JC.

John 6:39 (KJV) And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

John 10:28 (KJV) And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

2 Timothy 4:18 (KJV) And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

1 Peter 1:5 (KJV) Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

“Confidence…”

1 John 5:14-15 (KJV) And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

Greetings my dear friend!

It’s a short and strange title to this letter… however, as I was typing it in, I was hearing, you need confidence! Absolutely, we need confidence… else how can we truly get things done?

Namely thinking about prayers and receiving answers to our prayers, we all really need to know that we each have confidence.

I think I’m going to put right below here the full and complete definition of confidence as found in Webster’s 1828 Dictionary (this is a part of my SwordSearcher® bible software program, which I love!)… Please read slowly the entire definition…

CON’FIDENCE, n. L. See Confide.

1. A trusting, or reliance; an assurance of mind or firm belief in the integrity, stability or veracity of another, or in the truth and reality of a fact.

It is better to trust in the Lord, than to put confidence in man. Psalm 118.

I rejoice that I have confidence in you in all things. 2 Corinthians 7.

Mutual confidence is the basis of social happiness.

I place confidence in a statement, or in an official report.

2. Trust; reliance; applied to one’s own abilities, or fortune; belief in one’s own competency.

His times being rather prosperous than calm, had raised his confidence by success.

3. That in which trust is placed; ground of trust; he or that which supports.

Israel was ashamed of Beth-el their confidence. Jeremiah 48.

Jehovah shall be thy confidence. Proverbs 3.

4. Safety, or assurance of safety; security.

They shall build houses and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell with confidence. Ezekiel 28.

5. Boldness; courage.

Preaching the kingdom of God with all confidence. Acts 28.

6. Excessive boldness; assurance, proceeding forom vanity or a false opinion of one’s own abilities, or excellencies.

Their confidence ariseth from too much credit given to their own wits.

Having a full definition of this amazing word, confidence, we now can go back to our verses that can be of great help when we pray.

It’s almost like you have to read these verses slowly, because every word has such a strong impact on us. I suppose I am one of those preachers that harp on knowing every single word of every verse in the bible. I just hear to many preachers that skim over the scriptures and then land on a single word or maybe two or three then build an entire sermon on those words. I do the same thing often, but I try to include the full context of the theme.

Prayers are so important in or daily life that we all must be certain, or rather, confident that what we are praying is correct, and than what we are praying is going to the throne of God.

Like just today, in my prayer time, I have had a prayer before the Lord for probably about three years or more… “Why is the title Spirit capitalized in some areas and not in others?” Well, today I got the answer… I know, I’m weird and a fanatic about the Lord and his word…

“It’s capitalized based upon the context of where I have put it; sometimes I am referring to the Holy Ghost, other times I am referring to a specific Angel, and still other times I am referring to man’s Spirit.”

Oh wow! This is so cool… you see little prayers are just as important to God as great big life changing prayers. Everything is important to God. He’s the Creator. God knows what to do with his creation, and he knows what he plans on doing next. God is not guessing and wondering what to do next. I suppose we could say that God is the essence of confidence! Does that sound right?

In 1 John 5:10 is a key text to having confidence… “He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: …” Do you see the word witness? This is sort of like what I’m saying about having confidence… it’s a witness within our heart that lets us know that God has heard our prayer, or our call, or our cry.

Also in this verse, 1 John 5:12 is another key to having confidence… “He that hath the Son hath life; …” Knowing that we have life gives us confidence because without life is death, therefore death would gives us fear of loss and fear of dieing without… how horrible to even write these words… I speak life everyday that I preach and to even begin to write about death really bothers me. Strange?

We find here in this next verse, 1 John 5:13 a summary of why we have confidence… “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.”

Do you see the words “know” and “believe”? These are the keys to having the confidence in our prayers. You see my friend, God is simple to understand when we have the Holy Spirit to teach us the word of truth. By listening to the Holy Spirit teach us God’s word, and not listening to preachers… I’m laughing, because I’m teaching here, sort of… oh well… we can have this amazing confidence in our heart!

It’s such a wonderful feeling to know that God loves us. And God cares for even the tiniest things in our lives, his children.

Remember that whatever we ask, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us!

‘According to God’s will,’ is knowing the word, the Holy Bible, and is also why all believers must be continually in the word of God. (Specifically the King James Bible.) By studying the word of truth and searching the scriptures as often as possible, preferably daily… we will know God’s will for our life, and thus be able to ask with all confidence what ever it is we want to know. Very simple!

The problem is PATIENCE.

James 1:3-8 (KJV) Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

I guess that about says every thing I wanted to write today in this Sunday Prayer Letter. These letters are very important to me. I do hope these letters are good for you too.

God bless you my dear friend…

Having confidence,

—JC.

Psalm 118:8 (KJV) It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

Proverbs 3:26 (KJV) For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

Proverbs 25:19 (KJV) Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.

“I waited patiently for the LORD…”

Greetings!

Have you ever found that some bible verses just keep coming to you and you don’t know why? It’s as if, God is trying to get our attention so that he can tell us something. The very best way for God to speak to us is through his word… the Holy Bible. This is not the only way God speaks to his children… however, when we are going through a trial or struggle or problems, the word of God is the most accurate and specific way we can hear from God.

What this means is that, while we are in prayer, bible verses will come to mind. Sometimes just a few words of a verse that we may be familiar with, or maybe a direct address to a particular passage. Oft times we need to go to a concordance, or a method to look up these certain passages or words that came to our spirit while in prayer.

It’s best if we don’t ask someone else what this means, or what verse it might be, or even their opinion. This is where Satan can often times come in as a disguised comforter or friend. When this happens, we sometimes get led astray and into something that is nowhere near where God wants us.

So how do we avoid getting side tracked, or told wrong information, or even guided into some scriptures that have no meaning to us at this particular time. Here is why God says, to pray in secret!

In secret!! Why? Well, look at this verse… “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” —Jesus, from Matthew 6:6, KJV.

Do you see the last part of this verse? “…shall reward thee openly.” This is when God provides the answer to your prayer; it’s because of this verse here in Luke 8:17, KJV… “For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.” This clearly tells us that our prayers will be answered and be answered in such a way that lets us clearly and obviously know that God is answering our prayers!

What we don’t want is people answering our prayers! Way to many Christians seek people’s advice and counsel before even talking to God in prayer. This action leads multitudes of Christians into the wrong fields of life and problems that God never intended for us, personally!

However, if we go to God in secret and only tell God what our situation is… please I’m not saying that we can’t ask people to pray for us… that’s just fine, and very biblical… what I am saying is that there are things in each of our lives that are personal with us and with our God, Jesus Christ!

So where does all this lead? Glad you asked! LOL

Let’s take a quick look at Psalm 40 in the King James Version of The Holy Bible…

Verse 1: I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

Verse 2: He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

Verse 3: And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD.

Verse 4: Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

Let’s finish up with skipping to…

Verse 16: Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.

The idea with posting these 5 individual verses here in this letter is to remind you and to encourage you to search the scriptures for those that are particular to your needs.

These verses here in Psalm 40 came to me after many months of asking God about a certain situation that I was working on and wanting his help. I never went to other people to get my answer. I just went to God in prayer… at first, nothing came to me… and for months and months nothing came to me… was God listening???… of course he was!!!

The key is, I WAITED PATIENTLY FOR THE LORD! Wow! Isn’t that amazing… patience is truly a gift of God, I think!

All my prayers are always being answered… it’s actually an amazing life that I live in the LORD!

God is so very good to me… that I continually cry in speaking to him, “…help me Lord to be as good to you, as you are to me.” I literally begin to weep and cry with joy and thanksgiving… often times on my face to the floor… in tears… GOD IS A LOVING FATHER! Thank you Father!

My dear friend, I hope that something I said in this prayer letter touches your heart. I pray that all your needs be met in a miraculous way that points you to our loving Father. Because he cares for you…

With sincerity of heart,

—JC.

Psalm 41:1 (KJV) Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

Psalm 46:1 (KJV) God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Psalm 47:1 (KJV) O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

“God is a miracle working God!”

Greetings!

You are on my mind every day! It’s amazing how people have become so important to me! I know that sounds weird to say… but it’s true! For years and years, I suppose that for most of my forty-year trucking career, my attitude was not a good one towards people. Living behind the wheel of a big rig, cars… or rather, four-wheelers, seem to me like go-carts and the drivers drive them like go-carts! Big trucks can’t stop on a dime nor can them maneuver abruptly. You know the song, ‘give me forty acres and I’ll turn this rig around’… yea that one!

So how has God changed my mind-set, attitude, feelings or whatever word seems appropriate, towards people and has given me a love for people?

Every day, I am throughly convinced that my daily prayer list is the secret or mystery that has altered my heart towards people.

Yes, every single day, I mention your name to God in prayer. Some days, are a little faster than others. However, a day never goes by, that you are not on my lips to God.

This has been my miracle! I know that I’ve talked a lot about this, but I am constantly reminded when I’m out preaching on the streets. Six days a week, I’m out where the sinners are… witnessing for Jesus Christ!

If I didn’t have a love for souls to be saved and a love of God for every person, no matter who they are, or what they do to me… I love them! This act of demonstrating the love of God to them, stops nearly all the hatred I get for preaching Christ to the world. Without Christ as their Saviour… they will go to hell, then the lake of fire after judgement for eternity. But until they die, I will stand in the gap before the Lord for their soul to be saved! In Jesus name.

How can someone like me do this type of intercessional preaching in the Holy Ghost? I think the first thing is holiness. We can’t have a life of sin! We must be holy before a holy God! The second is to be at home, prior to preaching, in the privacy of our closet or home, be praying to God for the souls of man. Being holy and before the Lord mentioning the names of people; I know will produce a crop of love for souls that becomes a miracle!

God is a miracle working God! When each of us need a real miracle… and we all do at times in our lives… we know that we can turn to our God and Saviour and do what he has instructed us to do in his word… if we don’t know his word and what he talks about in reference to receiving miracles, well then… people miss out in their much needed miracle.

When I talk about miracles… people get the impression that God some how jumps off his throne and runs to pick us up and cradle us… like babies! THIS IS NOT HOW IT WORKS!

The word says something like, first the seed, then the blade, then the stalk, then the fruit after its own kind.

Mark 4:28, KJV says, “For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.”

Then another scripture says in Galatians 6:7, KJV. “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

To conclude and make sure what I am talking about, let’s look at this verse in 2 Corinthians 13:1, KJV. “This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.” The two witnesses for this letter are: Mark 4:28 and Galatians 6:7.

So anyways, I firmly believe in miracles. I firmly believe that God will answer our needs. I firmly believe that the very best way to receive from God is by searching the scriptures and finding those verses that meet our need. Then use those verses in prayer with the Holy Ghost giving us the power to have ears to hear, eyes to see, and a heart to understand; then by all means start now sowing the seeds.

Two examples of this is last Friday Banner Preaching in Denver: first I was desiring a cup of coffee but wanted to get started preaching early… so I asked the Lord for a coffee, I believed that I would receive, and then I just put it on the Lord and forgot about it and began preaching. Within about an hour or so, the manager of a nearby coffee shop came out and asked me if I wanted a cup of coffee? Of course I said, YES! LOL :)

Number two: while I was preaching I asked the Lord that I would receive people’s carnal things in return for the spiritual things I was sowing, namely I asked to receive some cash. Soon, I was able to sow some cash to the poor: I asked if I could give to them, they were very surprised at my request… of course they said, YES! I gave as I was directed by the Holy Ghost. Within about two hours or maybe longer, towards the end of the day, a man came out of nowhere seemingly, and thrust a wad of dollar bills into my hand, and said that he wanted to sow into my ministry of preaching the word of God! I gladly accepted and shoved the bills into my pocket! We talked and laughed and he left as quickly as he came!

You see, God is a miracle working God! Why people don’t receive their miracle is a mystery to me. However, I think it can be answered in today’s Sunday Prayer Letter. Read this letter often, print it out, and look up the verses in the King James Bible, only!

There you go my friend, another letter in the books!

I sat down to write a very short letter… laughing… short?

Once again, I just want to pour everything I have into your life…

I want your needs meet…

Over and over, I desire that God answer your prayer requests…

I do my part…

I believe you do your part…

God will do his part…

IT’S A FAMILY EFFORT, IN JESUS NAME! AMEN.

Praise the Lord,

—JC.

Psalm 5:3 (KJV) My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.

Proverbs 10:4 (KJV) He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.

II Corinthians 9:7 (KJV) Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

“Believe That Ye Receive…”

Believe That Ye Receive

Mark 11:24 (KJV) Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Greetings!

What a week it has been! I sure hope that you too have had a good week! If so, praise the Lord… if not, praise the Lord… LOL… and why not, he owns it all anyways! This is all his deal, we just get to be apart of whatever he’s doing… and that’s great! Thank you Jesus.

In my prayer time today, this verse came to me and it is one of the many verses that I use every day in preaching. However, it sort of took on a prominence this morning that took me into a little bit of research. Mark 11:24 is truly a great verse to work with on a daily basis.

Now of course we need to realize that Satan also knows all about this verse. Maybe that’s why he hides it from so many believers. Because I hardly hear anyone using this verse anymore. It used to be one of the most popular verses that preachers preached on, at least in my circles of influence.

How and when I use it today is when I begin street preaching with my banner. I use it as a part of my beginning prayer and intercession for souls; “…and Lord I ask a special request, according to Mark 11:24, that not one soul will go to hell, while on my watch, in Jesus name, thank you Lord, thank you Lord, thank you Lord. Glory to God, Glory to God, Glory to my Heavenly Father. Thank you Jesus.”

Now, I fully and completely believe that God hears my prayers and answers my prayers based on my faith in God and my belief that the word of God is factually true and can be relied upon to perform to exactly what it says. I don’t add to the verse, nor do I take away from it. I don’t change it to match what I want it to say. I just believe the exact words; and that God said what he wanted to say, and that he knows what he said. Amen!

Because of my faith, and because of my prayer, I believe that God does something to allow more time to those that have not received Jesus Christ as Saviour while I am preaching on my watch, which is about 3 to 4 hours. In other words, if an accident was to occur, God would hold back the accident; or if something like a heart attack were to occur, then God would hold that back until I got off of my watch that day. Of course my hope is that they would get a clue to what just happened, that God intervened and gave them some extra time, thereby possibly causing them to turn to God and believe. How God works is his deal… mine is to believe that I receive.

This takes real faith; and not phony ‘gimme gimme gimme… I want I want I want’ type of prayers that to many Christians pray, because their pastor or minister teaches a goofy doctrine. And this is a big why, we ALL need to know and study the word of truth, as recorded in…

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

And then take a quick look at the next verse…

2 Timothy 2:16 (KJV) But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

Then the verse above this verse…

2 Timothy 2:14 (KJV) Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.

So, if we go back to the verse for our prayer letter today…

Mark 11:24 (KJV) Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

In the context of our verse, (Mark 11:20-26), notice Jesus talks and teaches about faith. As we know, it is impossible to please our Father in Heaven without faith. (Hebrews 11:6 (KJV) But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.)

The simple definition of faith is this verse… (Hebrews 11:1 (KJV) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.) This particular verse, and subsequent verses in Hebrews 11 can best be used as a meditation of our heart. God can use these verses to establish faith or rather the knowledge of faith, and then begin to gives us understanding of faith… thereby continuing in faith… we receive the wisdom of faith. After this period of learning and being taught by the Holy Ghost, we can more successfully live by faith!

With faith, I pray this peculiar prayer of asking God to not let anyone go to hell while on my watch! Now really, how many people, ministers, preachers, or who ever have you heard pray this prayer?

The prayer was not made by me… no. The prayer was given to me by my faith in God! Because of this, the Holy Ghost was able and allowed to place this prayer in my heart… and I simply received and believed it and began to pray it with boldness and faith; according to Mark 11:24! Very simple… LOL… sort of.

But really now, by using this testimony of what God has given to me for prayer, then you too can come boldly before the throne of God with your prayers. God will hear and answer them.

The big problem we ALL need to come to grips with is God’s timing. Yep, it’s his timing… not our timing! And that’s the big deal that stops most believers in their prayer time. I guess they think that God is just going to jump off the throne and run to their every need… LOL… sort of.

On another point, I get Christians who hear my prayers and then roll their eyes in utter disbelief… because I pray with such unique boldness… I mean I really believe the word of God and the entire word of God… nothing is dead and buried in the word of God; (I’m referring to our New Covenant, New Contract, New Testament… the one that we live by, as of today.) But to do this, we need to know what this Standard says! What does our Constitution really say? And how many know our Constitution? Good question!

Also, how many were previously and now currently attempting with their whole heart to change and alter the word of God to say what they want it to say? Philosophers and theologians have been hard at work doing just that… changing the HOLY BIBLE. Be ALERT My Friend!

Mark 11:24 (KJV) Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

“Soever” means every or all (Romans 3:19) Inside this word is ‘what’ ‘ever’…

If we go to a key Psalm of King David, to help us come to a better understanding of this verse, we may have something that can sling us into “great faith”… (Luke 7:9 (KJV) When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.)

Psalm 37:3 (KJV) Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

Psalm 37:4 (KJV) Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Psalm 37:5 (KJV) Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

I suppose if we were to list these items out it would look something like this:

1. Trust in the LORD

2. Do good

3. Dwell in the land

4. Be fed

5. Delight thyself also in the LORD

6. The LORD shall give thee the desires of thine heart

7. Commit thy way unto the LORD

8. Trust also in the LORD

9. The LORD shall bring it to pass

That was just an idea that came to me… yea I know, sort of odd to list verses out like a “to-do-list”… but it may help… I think I’ve done this many times in the past.

Okay, there’s another Sunday Prayer Letter!

Sure hope that there is something here that will bless your life.

If there is not something here, at least there were some cool scriptures to think about.

Maybe as time goes on, the Spirit will teach us all how to live by faith even as our faith grows.

Life is truly a learning experience… let’s all keep on learning the truth… the word of truth.

Amen!

Believing that you receive,

James 1:6 (KJV) But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

James 2:17 (KJV) Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

James 2:26 (KJV) For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

By the way, I write my letters every week. They all go into a file; so this letter may be off from the latest letter… which is actually just fine, and the way I sort of planned it. The idea is to build upon each letter. However, if you would like to read my latest Sunday Prayer Letter… please see my website: JohnChoque.org.

Let’s minister together… hope to see ya’ soon!
