“Able Ministers of the New Testament”
2 Corinthians 3:6 (KJV) Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Greetings friend!
Let’s Pray!
“Holy Spirit thank you for hearing us. You bring us life and give us what we don’t even know that we need. Because of you we are learning the word of truth and living the truth every day of our lives. Thank you Holy Ghost for loving us this much. And because of you Jesus, we have eternal life! And are called into your service as able ministers of the new testament. You shed your precious blood for the new testament. Jesus, you are also the mediator of the new testament. Thank you Jesus for giving us life eternal. In your name Jesus we pray. Amen.”
“Able Ministers of the New Testament”
This is the title of the seed sown.
“The seed is the word of God.” —Luke Eight Eleven.
2 Corinthians 3:6 (KJV) Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
It seems to me that whenever we do anything for God we should always pray… what I mean is talk to God first, before doing whatever it is you plan on doing. I think to many times, Christians just launch out without ever considering the Holy Ghost. This truly ought not be. Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness… and all the things that you need shall be brought into your life. This is living by faith my friend… not sight!
So here we go into another wonderful Sunday Prayer Letter. This one is titled, “Able Ministers of the New Testament”. And this title comes from something that kept coming to me as I was preaching this week, and from this morning and afternoon time with the Spirit, on the sabbath. There is more in this topic and title than I think I can write in this letter. We’ll see what happens as we progress through it.
Our previous Sunday Prayer Letter was titled, “Grieve Not The Holy Spirit of God” … now that was a title that really got to me all this week. I kept checking myself to see if what I was saying or what I was doing was against the Holy Ghost. Praise God! All was well with my soul all week!
In this Sunday Prayer Letter we are going to go into a slightly different direction that many go into when using this passage of scripture. The main theme will be the study of the new testament, rather than reading and studying the old testament. I’ve spent several hours as of now in these scriptures and I can see what the Holy Ghost is attempting to do for us. Are you ready? Let’s go…
Whenever sowing seed, understand that within the seed is everything that is needed to grow after its own kind. This happens by the Spirit of God. Without the Spirit there would be nothing existing! This is important to understand… especially for what we are going to briefly talk about.
The reason for this is that there is an enormous amount of teaching in the Christian world that doesn’t acknowledge the Holy Ghost. In fact, this is so bad that the modern bible doesn’t even use the name, Holy Ghost! That is how bad it is!
And to go even further, many of these corrupted bibles take out all the names of God and change Satan’s name to the point that many don’t even know who is being talked about. Check it out for yourself. JEHOVAH is gone. Lucifer is gone. Reference to the morning star is changed to reflect Satan rather than Jesus! The very sad thing about all this is… nobody knows that any of this happening! AND, possibly, quite possibly… they don’t even care. Oh well. I’ll keep preaching the King James Bible!
2 Corinthians 3:6 (KJV) Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
This scripture is where we obtain our seed to sow into our hearts. It’s also a seed that we can preach from on Sunday and throughout the week. The Holy Ghost makes us able ministers of the new testament, and this is where we preach from, to preach Christ as Saviour. Yes, the old testament is used to back up the new, and even Jesus in his glorified body, just after resurrection, and before ascension, expounded unto the disciples the word, beginning at Moses and all the prophets, all the scriptures the things concerning himself. (Reference Luke 24:27, KJV.)
So before we even get into this topic of reading the new testament, we already know that Jesus himself used the old testament. And now, because of the blood of Christ, we have a new testament! This is what we are about to go into and why we are able ministers of the new testament.
Heads up… there are lots and lots of scripture that I will be placing in this letter, therefore, this may be more than you all can go through in a week. We’ll see…
Our scripture text is: 2 Corinthians 2:17 through 2 Corinthians 4:1 and 1 Corinthians 13:12-13.
I of VII. We start here:
2 Corinthians 2:17 (KJV) For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. (This bold text in not in the bible, I placed it here for teaching purpose only. Thank you.)
The idea of corrupting the word of God is not new to us in 2021. It started way back… this was one of the many problems that Paul dealt with in his ministry. It was difficult to hear people corrupting his letters, and then teaching from the corrupted letters, and referencing the Apostle Paul… all the while, Paul never wrote what they taught on. Sort of like today!
II of VII. Next point:
2 Corinthians 3:1-5 (KJV) Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;
The thing I want to bring to your attention is the words used to indicate letters or words. For example: I made bold the key words I’m referring to… (These words in bold are NOT in the bible; I am doing this for teaching purpose only, in this letter!)
The idea is to think about these words: letters, epistles, written, read, written, and tables. All these words refer to the holy scriptures in various forms. God knows what he is doing in regards to his word. Trust in the Lord.
III of VII. This is our key text:
2 Corinthians 3:6 (KJV) Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
From the study of the word of truth and by the power of the Spirit of God we are made able ministers of the new testament. The question then is: Are we ministers of the old testament, too? Or rather: Are we ministers of the new testament?
The big reason I am asking these questions comes from years and years of listening to Christians talk to me. The more confused the Christian; the more corrupt their theology; the more that Satan is apart of their lives; the more unsure of themselves and their life with God; the more confused they are of the word of God; the more they are filled with doubt; and the more they even doubt their own salvation; and I could write another letter on the problems, however, know this… ALL THIS STEMS FROM THEIR CONTINUAL STUDY OF ONLY THE OLD TESTAMENT, AND VERY VERY VERY LITTLE IF ANY STUDY OF THE NEW TESTAMENT!!!
Yes, I realize that this is extremely controversial and this can bring enemies to my door. However, remember, we are not like any other ministry out there, that I am currently aware of. Gospel Evangelist Church is not what you think it is… we are preparing a place that will go the distance, that will go through what is coming in the future… NOT what is happening today. We are not here to tell you how to get a better job and have a nice life! NO. Other ministries and churches are out there that will tell you that. And that may be the calling of God on their church. NOT THIS CHURCH! We are called to build a place that people will be able to come into to ride out the storm ahead. Enough said on that for now.
IV of VII. Continuing our text:
2 Corinthians 3:7-12 (KJV) But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
Here I will continue to make bold key words like I did in the previous scripture text. (The bold words are NOT in the bible; I do it for teaching here in this letter, only. Thank you.)
The best way for you to study this passage is not in this letter! By going to your own bible, and asking the Holy Ghost to teach you this passage, you will gain great wisdom, find pure gold, and own a portion of scripture that can be preached on, taught on, and lived by. It just takes time and prayer… and quite possibly, fasting?
A single key point to bring up here in this letter would be, ministration. By the Holy Ghost making us able ministers of the new testament, we are able to perform the ministration of the gospel unto salvation and show all who are open, the way to Christ! This will bring multitudes of people into the kingdom of God. We must step out in faith and serve the living God with all our heart, and with all our soul, and with all our mind. When we love God in this way, and then love people like this, then the Holy Ghost will make us more than able ministers of the new testament!
V of VII. Next up:
2 Corinthians 3:13-17 (KJV) And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
Once again, I am going to make bold key words that caught my attention while studying this entire passage that is in this letter. (Note: none of the bold words are bold in the bible, I make them bold for teaching purpose only. Thank you.)
Yes, I know I made bold lots more words here than before. This is a key passage of scripture. I see the vail on to many Christians. Why is this? Why are Christians confused; and in the dark about their salvation; and their place in the kingdom of God; and their authority in Christ; and the power of the Lord that should be operating in their life? Could the answer be found in these scriptures?
VI of VII. Last portion:
2 Corinthians 3:18 (KJV) But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Corinthians 4:1 (KJV) Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
Here we go again with the bold text. (These are not bold in the bible, I made them bold for teaching purpose, only. Thank you.)
Since we are new testament ministers, we now see with an open face, no vail or covering is over our face. Yes, I realize there are many things that are a mystery to us… this is why I added the bonus section below… me laughing!
Look, we are all growing in our faith. Everyone of us are at different points of growth. Some grow quickly, some grow slowly, and still some take a lifetime to grow. The important thing is to never leave or turn our back on God. That is to say, look to God and not back to our former life. Remember Lot’s wife!
VII of VII. Bonus section:
1 Corinthians 13:12-13 (KJV) For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
(Here comes some more bold words. They’re not this way in the bible!)
Remember that charity is the greatest of these three… faith… hope… charity. Faith is amazing! Hope is the anchor! Charity sends us into the Lord’s harvest and gives us the seed to sow… the word of God is the seed!
Go out and preach the gospel to every creature, my friend!
Proverbs 11:30 (KJV) The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life;
and he that winneth souls is wise.
My dear friend, be wise and win souls for heaven!
____________
In this small section of our letter we’re going to talk briefly about…
“…concerning giving and receiving…” as per Philippians 4:15, KJV.
Luke 6:38 (KJV) Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
That’s how simple it is… concerning giving and receiving, my friend!
Will you be a giver?
Or will you be a taker?
Back to our letter and its ending…
____________
After reading and re-reading this tiny section about giving; I think I’m finished with this Sunday Prayer Letter.
I do hope that this letter will at the least, spur you on to get into the word of God for yourself.
And to search the scriptures daily.
And to study the word of truth.
My friend, always ask the Holy Ghost for help.
Don’t do anything on your own accord.
Trust in the Lord.
Lean not on your own understanding.
Amen?
God bless you my dear friend,
—JC.
Daniel 10:21 (KJV) But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth…
Matthew 21:42 (KJV) Did ye never read in the scriptures…
Matthew 22:29 (KJV) Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God…
Amen, and Amen.

“Grieve Not The Holy Spirit Of God”
Ephesians 4:30 (KJV) And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Greetings friend!
Let’s Pray!
“Heavenly Father, thank you for sending us, your children, the Holy Spirit! Holy Spirit we love you… we really do! There is just something about you, that captures our attention, and our love, and our adoration for you. Help us Holy Spirit to do what this scripture tells us… “…grieve not the holy Spirit of God.” We suppose that is why we are praying and reading this new Sunday Prayer Letter. It is because of you, that we are learning so much about our wonderful Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you Jesus for all that you have provided for us. Thank you for your continuous intercession for the saints. We love you Lord Jesus, and in your name we pray. Amen.”
“Grieve Not The Holy Spirit Of God”
This is the title of the seed sown.
“The seed is the word of God.” —Luke Eight Eleven.
Ephesians 4:30 (KJV) And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Just before I was to sit down and begin the writing of this Sunday Prayer Letter, I spent many hours with the Holy Spirit as he was helping me finish up the 1st/Print of the new, “GEC TRUTH STUDY NOTEBOOK”. And now, this new edition is at the publisher, it should go to press on Monday. I’ll probably receive this proof copy in about two weeks or less. From here, we will work with several of our dedicated partners and finalize the next print, or rather the final copy of the 1ST/PRINT. All this is due to my work and fellowship with the Holy Spirit. And this why this letter is being written today. Let’s begin…
Many times we do things without ever considering the Holy Spirit.
Okay, now read this previous sentence, very s l o w l y . . .
Did you get it?
You see, this is what the Holy Spirit wants to talk about. To many of his saints, grieve him… and they don’t even recognize it, nor even are aware of what is going on. How sad?
Why is this?
Well, for one reason, we as earth dwellers, are on a different time-line. That’s right… we are speeding along on our earthly time-line for what we think is the goals or finish line that is just ahead of us… or even towards what we think is what God wants us to do! All the while, not giving the Holy Spirit a moment of our time… other than a brief nod of our head, or a quick thanks, or even a slight mention in our prayers. This ought not to be so!
Before we go any further in our letter. This letter is different… like every letter is different! In our previous Sunday Prayer Letter, titled, “Let The Dead Bury Their Dead” … which is based upon the scripture, Luke 9:60, King James Bible. If you haven’t read or listened to the podcast, this would be a great location to stop here and go over and read or listen to it….
Why do I say to go back and read or listen?
My friend, how the Holy Spirit is developing these series of letters is important. In the beginning, we don’t see what the Holy Spirit is doing. We just move by faith. Then after a while, and sometimes, a very long while… what the Holy Spirit is creating begins to appear. However, this won’t appear if we are not moving by faith. Because, if not, then we are moving by our flesh… in this way, we will never see what the Holy Ghost is doing! Can you see how and why it is so important to be filled with the Holy Ghost?
When these questions are truly answered, we will move forward in our life. What I mean is, when we surrender to the Spirit of God, there are things that God does in our life, and our spirit, and our mind that sets us up to receive all that God has for his saints. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ!
In this Sunday Prayer Letter, we are going to briefly talk about the title of this seed… “Grieve Not The Holy Spirit Of God” and in this we will see a clearer vision of what God is doing in our life, and why God is doing this in our life.
Are you ready?
Let’s go…
Yes, I do realize that these letters could seem like a lot of repetition… however, they really are not. When we plant seeds, often times, we must plant several seeds in the same hole. Why? Because some of the seeds, for whatever reason, will not take hold and grow.
For a physical example of this; my grandfather use to grow palm trees for the San Gabriel Nursery. He would grow dozens and dozens of palms, in his yard in San Gabriel, California… on San Gabriel Boulevard, on the top of the hill, in the pink block house on the left when going up the hill.
This is where I lived in my 3rd grade, while I was recuperating from Scarletina Fever, which I had almost died from, within 12 hours of the end of my life. I talked about this in my street preaching video on Friday in Denver, February 5, 2021. YouTube.com/JohnChoque.
My grandfather would plant 5 palm seeds in every hole, which where in 1 gallon metal containers. And guess what? Only 1 palm plant would grow out of this! I always found that to be amazing! Five seeds, one tree! Why is that? God knows the answer.
So now I can hear people saying, okay John, what does all this have to do with, “Grieve Not The Holy Spirit Of God” and this Sunday Prayer Letter?
You see, it takes a great great great amount of patience to work with and fellowship and commune with the Holy Ghost. As it takes much much much time for a palm to grow, so it takes much time to grow our relationship with the Spirit of God. Yes, I know we immediately receive the Spirit when we are born again. However, there is more, much much more… than just being born again. That is only the beginning!
Here is where many Christians don’t give the time needed to the Spirit to develop their spirit. I see new believers receive their salvation… and then go running down the road hollering, I’m saved! I’m saved! I’m saved at last…!!! Then the devil steps out from around the corner, and punches them in the face… down they go… crying and bleeding… and now… doubting their salvation. My friend, yes, I have seen this… to many times. I suppose that is one of the reasons why I am so excited to be around after 47 years of salvation! And not just saved… but rather preaching and ministering and now… building a new missionary church! I’m excited… at 67 years of age! Hallelujah!
Let’s take another look at our scripture…
Ephesians 4:30 (KJV) And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Wow! I was just looking at the previous scriptures and was wow’ed by the depth of this topic. So now, I’m not sure if we will be able to continue the entire topic in this letter, maybe the Spirit will let us do another letter with these scriptures. Because it’s to much to cover in one letter.
It looks like the Apostle Paul started this topic around verse 22… yes, I see that there is a paragraph symbol above this, however, this is not what I want to use… because we are focused on the seed titled, “Grieve Not The Holy Spirit Of God” and in this seed is the idea of “conversation” just like Paul is discussing in his letter to the Ephesians.
Therefore, this entire topic is based in Ephesians 4:22-31, King James Bible. Now, this is one huge chunk of scriptures! To big for one little letter… let’s then go to the key idea of what it takes to grieve the Spirit of God.
Looking at Ephesians 4:22-31, can you see that “conversation” may be the key topic of what causes grieving… think just for a moment of how we speak and communicate to each other? What we say does things in the other person. Right? Think about this for a moment, and we’ll go on.
When we speak, we act. We do something. When we speak, words come out of our mouth. These words are like seed. Think about the sword of the Spirit… this sword, which is the word of God, comes out of our mouth… it is not held in our hand. Do you get it?
What is in our hands is not what grieves the Spirit of God.
What comes out of our mouth is what grieves the Spirit of God.
Why would that be?
Think about this…
our words create…
our words make things happen…
our words give life…
our words give death…
our words give love…
our words give hate…
our words…
yes… it is our words!
Our words… grieve the Holy Ghost!
My friend, please take some time today to read and study and search this section of scripture. Start at Ephesians 4:22. Then very slowly and deliberately go on down through the scriptures to Ephesians 4:31. In this passage of scripture, you will see something that you have never seen before.
This will be the first time!
Will you actually do this?
The Holy Ghost would not have put this here, in this Sunday Prayer Letter, if he thought this not to be very important.
Consider this… if you don’t study this passage of holy scripture, the word of truth… then what would you now do with your time?
My friend, here is where the Spirit of God will take over from this letter, and begin ministering to you… I too will do likewise… after I’ve finished the editing and the podcast of this letter… I too will spend some precious time with the Holy Ghost in this certain passage. Ephesians 4:22-31, in the KING JAMES BIBLE… NOT ANY OTHER BIBLE! This is important… you want only the pure preserved holy truth of God to be seeded into your spirit. This will produce FAITH!
_____
NOW, right here, I’m going to go into a small section of scripture…
NO CHURCH COMMUNICATED WITH ME AS…
“concerning giving and receiving” as per Philippians 4:15, KJV.
Philippians 4:10 (KJV) But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity.
Having opportunity to give and to sow seed is a huge blessing from God! It is very wise to never ever pass up an opportunity to give. This is what way too many Christians do, every day! Therefore, from today forward, never pass an opportunity to give!
Philippians 4:14 (KJV) Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.
Here we see that the Holy Ghost is using the word communicate, this is very similar to what we were previously talking about. Communication is not just words… it is also our actions! We do well in your actions… in this way, we grieve not the Holy Spirit of God.
Philippians 4:15 (KJV) Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
Once again, the Holy Ghost is using a word to describe communication. How we act… how we talk… how we do many things in our life is all a form of communication. Is our communication grieving the Holy Spirit of God?
Philippians 4:17 (KJV) Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
The Holy Ghost is not desiring a gift for himself… God doesn’t need our gifts! God already owns it ALL! Psalm 24! God is concerned and cares for each of us and our accounts in heaven. Because a day will come that the books will be opened… will you have something written by your name?
Philippians 4:19 (KJV) But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
God will even supply us the seed to sow! God will provide the funds.. the money… the tools… the gifts… the food… the fellowship… the love… and actually, God will supply absolutely everything!
Philippians 4:13 (KJV) I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
I placed this scripture out of order because we all need to think for some time on what this word actually says to us… “I can do… all things… through Christ… which strengthens… me.” Yes, you can, and when you are doing all things… pay strict attention to your words… your communication!
NOW, back to the letter and the ending of our letter…
_____
There you go my friend… this is what the Holy Ghost wanted to say in this letter… more is found in your searching of the holy scriptures… God wants you to be one of his holy saints!
Once again… Ephesians 4:30 (KJV) And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Communicating the LOVE of CHRIST,
—JC.
Matthew 5:37 (KJV) But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
1 Timothy 6:18 (KJV) That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
Hebrews 13:16 (KJV) But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Amen, and Amen.

“Let The Dead Bury Their Dead” — Podcast Episode 47 on the show, “Touching People For Heaven” with your host PREACHER JOHN.
“Let The Dead Bury Their Dead”
Luke 9:60 (KJV) Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
Greetings friend!
Let’s Pray!
“Lord Jesus, thank you for giving us the Holy Ghost to teach us your word. We love you Holy Spirit for all that you are doing with us… you’re beautiful! One of the great things about you Holy Spirit is your endless teaching of all the things that Jesus taught, while he was here with us; God was manifest in the flesh. So many times we wonder what this or that means, and then you prompt us to ask you… and we do… and you give us the understanding. We also pray Holy Spirit, that you will help us to not grieve you; whereby we are sealed unto the day of redemption. It seems that our love is boundless for our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. In your name Jesus, we pray. Amen.”
“Let The Dead Bury Their Dead”
This is the title of the seed sown.
“The seed is the word of God.” —Luke 8.
Luke 9:60 (KJV) Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
Don’t you just love to pray? What was that? You don’t pray that much. Oh, my friend, prayer is how we build our relationship with our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Without prayer, we lack the intimacy that is in a marriage. Jesus is our bridegroom… we are his bride. The Lamb’s wife. (Ref: Re. 21.9, Jn 1.29, KJV).
If you my friend, are here reading, or even listening on the podcast show, and you don’t have this relationship… nor understand what I am talking about… then maybe you are not born again. This is what the scriptures teach us about being born again…
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.
John 3:7 (KJV) Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
This is Jesus teaching a very smart and intelligent man, the mystery of the kingdom of God. Even today, we should listen to what Jesus taught this important man.
The next scripture here, Peter makes a key comment on why being born again is vitally important.
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.
Realize, that being born again is by faith… NOT by works… NOT by intelligence… NOT by believing in some mystical new age mantra or guru or idol of any kind. To come to God by faith, is to come like as a little child… like a child that comes to their parent for help, and then that good parent teaches their child the ways of God. Amen?
In these next few scriptures, Jesus goes on teaching why, and what, and how, and when, and the type of information, that was good for that key man, and now also, good for all of us to know and to understand. Maybe so that we too can teach it to someone who needs to be born again.
John 3:6 (KJV) That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
John 3:8 (KJV) The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
John 3:17-18 (KJV) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Then how do we get born again? It’s right here in this next scripture!
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.
You can even be more street preacher like, and simply say something like, “Give Jesus a call… his number is Romans 10:13!”
My simple prayer of faith was, “Jesus, if you’re real, here I am.”
Well, we are off an running again with another Sunday Prayer Letter! As you can clearly tell, we are an evangelist missionary church… we preach the gospel of Christ: for IT IS the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth… and that my friend is as simple as it is to become born again! Amen?
In the previous Sunday Prayer Letter, we talked about the seed called, “The Word Of God Is Not Bound” this is in 2 Timothy 2:9, King James Bible. In this Sunday Prayer Letter, we are going to discuss the seed called, “Let The Dead Bury Their Dead” which keys off of an event that happened to me this week. And one that the Holy Ghost is going to use to teach us something very important to what Jesus said to a couple people. Are you ready?
Our key text scripture is…
Luke 9:60 (KJV) Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
At first glance, we might think… WOW, how crude or cruel is Jesus!? However, in further understanding we can see this is very important to understand. All to often we breeze over a scripture without stopping and listening… sort of like what every one who crosses a railroad crossing should do, but does not! Just think, if every single person ever, would simply, STOP LOOK LISTEN, then there would not have been someone killed just NOW! Do you get it?
STOP often as you read the word of truth…
LOOK into the living water of the word of truth…
LISTEN to the Spirit of the word of truth…
Many times in our life we are asked to do something that is contrary to what God has told us to do. At that point we must make a decision. Now comes the hard part… do we choose to go with friends and family?… OR… Do we choose to go with God?
There has been a few times that people have come to me for counsel on this similar topic or rather question. As a minister, this could be a defining moment in your ministry. Because what you say will lead that person to God, or away from God. Can you see that being a minister of the Lord Jesus Christ can be a daunting task, if we rely on our spirit and mind to answer and to counsel? Right here would be a good location to stop look listen!
Okay, let’s go more into what exactly is Jesus talking about, and what other scriptures can we search for and see more clearly into the living water?
Here’s one…
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.
What does this have to do with, “Let The Dead Bury Their Dead” …? Well, let’s look at it. This refers to preaching the gospel. If all we do is bury the dead, and never talk to them about Jesus Christ before they die, then we make an eternal mistake! So then, go preach the gospel! You see, it’s so simple… that means it is not complicated, nor confusing. Just tell people that Jesus Christ is Lord. Then allow the Spirit of God to move on that person… it’s not your spirit that moves on that person… so then don’t make so!
This one is a tough one…
1 Timothy 5:6 (KJV) But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
After you tell her about Jesus Christ is Lord, and she decides that Jesus is not real, and that God is not real, and all this gospel stuff is stupid… then she makes her decision. Okay. Good! On to the next one! Let God be God. Stop being God. Relax and rest in hope!
Okay, I get it… this bothers you. Here’s what I do, and what I tell everyone that is interested. Give her a gospel tract, ask her…let’s pray, and then get her first name… put her first name in your Prayer Book… and now daily mention her name to God in prayer. In this way, you are interceding for her soul and she doesn’t need to know what you are doing… why? Because she doesn’t believe it! You just be faithful… and pray for her!
Then one day, the Holy Ghost will lead her and you together, or someone else, and the right words and the Spirit will confirm the word of God with signs following… she will believe on the Lord Jesus Christ… be born again by the Spirit of God. Now, wasn’t that easy?
This next scripture provides us a little different perspective…
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.
Now, how does this relate to “Let The Dead Bury Their Dead” …? Good question, let’s see what the answer is…
To be in Christ is to NOT to be in the world. In Christ is to be BORN AGAIN. Christ is God who shed his precious blood on his cross where he was crucified, the place called Calvary. In Christ is to be justified freely by his grace through the redemption… that is in Christ Jesus. We are sanctified in Christ Jesus. We have hope in Christ.
Can you begin to see and understand that to be in Christ Jesus is the ONLY WAY to eternal life? To put this another way, as per Romans 3:10 so clearly states… “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one…” Okay there you go! No argument there!
Either the word of truth is correct OR it is not. But we just said it is the word of TRUTH. Therefore, IT IS THE WORD OF TRUTH. Truth is not a lie. Truth comes from Jesus… Lie comes from Satan. Simple!
The above scripture says, “old things are passed away” …is that what it says? Okay. Then that is the truth! Believe the truth… do not believe the lie.
Let’s go back to our scripture for this letter…
Luke 9:60 (KJV) Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
The reason I am writing on this peculiar word is, I received an email about going to a funeral. The very moment I began to ask the Lord what he wanted me to do, this scripture immediately came to me. I let it go, because I didn’t want to receive this word. I wanted something else. I continued in prayer over the next couple hours on the request about the funeral. The Lord gave me another scripture, Matthew 8:22. It says the same thing!
Matthew 8:22 (KJV) But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
Now, I have two corresponding words. Where is that in the bible?
It is… 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.
If we believe the word of truth to be the truth, then this settles this issue. I am one who believes the word of God to be the word of truth. I believe God’s word. I believe the Holy Bible, as it is written in the King James Version. I am a King James Bible preacher. I don’t use any other book to preach from. I use only the pure word of God. I am held accountable to the word of God. The word of God will check me later on!
So now, what do I do about this funeral? I write back and say I will not be attending due to Luke 9:60 and Matthew 13:1. Simple. Tough. Difficult. Not easy to do. Feeling hurt. People not getting it. People accusing me. People cutting me off. And the repercussions may continue for years. What does Preacher John Choque do about it?
I will do the word of God!
Where is that in the bible?
It is… Proverbs 3:5 (KJV) Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Can you now see why so many believers fall away from the Lord Jesus Christ?
Luke 9:60 (KJV) Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
Is the life of a Christian an easy one?
Can a Christian live the way they want without repercussions?
When we say yes to Christ… do we say no to the world?
What can a Christian do when faced with life changing decisions?
The way I read the word of truth… the only answer is…
John 14:15 (KJV) If ye love me, keep my commandments.
Thank you my friend for hearing me out in this Sunday Prayer Letter. It was a most difficult one to write. Because it is apart of my real life. Many of these letters come from my life. And this is why I pour my heart into every single letter. I do it because I love my Lord Jesus Christ. And I love you my dear friend. Amen.
Respectfully in JESUS,
—JC.
John 14:15 (KJV) If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 15:10 (KJV) If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.
John 15:11 (KJV) These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
Amen, and Amen.

“The Word Of God Is Not Bound” — Podcast Episode 46 on the show, “Touching People For Heaven.”
“The Word Of God Is Not Bound”
2 Timothy 2:8 (KJV) Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
2 Timothy 2:9 (KJV) Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
2 Timothy 2:10 (KJV) Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
Greetings friend!
Let’s Pray!
“Thank you Lord Jesus, you are the Christ, the Son of the living God, and ONLY through you do we obtain salvation with eternal life. No other doctrine, Lord Jesus will we receive. Holy Ghost, we need your edification to lead us away from the devourer and deceiver, the devil. We look to our only Saviour to redeem us from this wicked time. We wait patiently upon you Lord Jesus. Thank you in advance for coming for us! We love you Lord, come Lord Jesus. Amen.”
What is it in some prayers that move our spirit so greatly? Because, I started writing this letter and when I got to the prayer… I started crying and simply loving on my Jesus my Saviour my Lord and my God! Folks, there is nothing in this world that compares to the glory we will see one day. Please folks, I beg you, do not continue conforming yourself to this world. This world is dying… it will be gone and replaced with a new earth… will you truly, be there?
Well, once again, I sit down at my little desk and begin writing the Sunday Prayer Letter… then the Holy Ghost moves me to write a certain way… this is difficult to explain, however, those who do write for the Lord Jesus; articles, discourses, books, even songs…. you know what I am referring to… it’s an amazing feeling and filled with inspiration!
If there were a way to push every one of you, who are reading this letter, into writing or preaching for the Lord Jesus Christ… I would push with everything I have. There is nothing greater in this life than to be a faithful servant of the most high God.
The fact that I’m called by God to serve in his ministry is the reason most people tell me that they can’t do what I am doing. What these people who make excuses are actually saying is, I love the world more than the Father. Sort of blunt, I know, and painful!
Whom do you truly serve my friend?
Will you serve the great and mighty King?
What are you going to do for our Lord and Saviour?
When will you turn from the world and serve the Lamb of God?
The Word Of God Is Not Bound
This is our title to today’s Sunday Prayer Letter. There is much more here, inside of this title, than what will be talked about in this letter. We just have to wait and see what transpires.
In our previous Sunday Prayer Letter, we had the title, “Teach No Other Doctrine” and it’s a good letter, if you haven’t read it or listened to the podcast episode on that letter, it may be good for you!
In this Sunday Prayer Letter, we’ll be going over several topics covering about ten scriptures. From 2 Timothy 2:7-16, King James Bible. In the beginning of this letter I struggled briefly on trying to find just one scripture to use… all the while I was being moved by the Holy Ghost to use this entire passage of scripture. The Holy Ghost knows the truth… because he is the truth! Then once I started using the context that was showed to me… then it all began with the prayer we just prayed. Glory to the Almighty!
I think what we’re going to do is key in on certain aspects of our scripture and highlight others that back up what it is we are writing and reading and listening on… sound good?
We can start off with the scripture just prior to our text… namely, 2 Timothy 2:7 (KJV) Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
By considering what is being said in the Holy Bible, and that is meditating on the truth, the Lord will give us understanding. This understanding comes by the Holy Ghost teaching us all the things the Lord Jesus taught. JESUS is the Word, per 1 John 5:7, King James Bible.
(Gentle Note: this scripture, 1 John 5:7, is not found in many other bible versions. Beware of their text. They may have the opportunity to sway you and your family into another doctrine. Not today… but the seed sown will produce after it’s own kind. Be alert to the version of the bible you use. Okay?)
Are you still with me? Good!
Let’s go on…
2 Timothy 2:8 (KJV) Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
This raising from the dead, called resurrection, is what got Jesus to lose many of his disciples and followers. Did you know that? And even here, Paul is in bonds, chains and prisons, and many other horrible things for teaching and preaching the word of the Lord Jesus. Sort of sounds like today, because that is what us street preachers go through. Of course, you guys who only preach inside four walls, may not get that sort of rebuke… or maybe you do? But for certain, us street ministers do! No question about it… I get it six days a week. I can relate to some of what the Apostle Paul went through… only a TINY tiny tiny bit… okay?
When did Jesus get into hot water with his teaching on this subject of resurrection? Do you know? That’s right… it’s in John 6:66, in the King James Bible. Take a note, the chapter number AND the scripture number??? 666 ??? Something to think about!
2 Timothy 2:9 (KJV) Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
The word of God is not bound. Is that what it says? For some reason, I just love that statement! The word of God is not bound! Isn’t that amazing? This means that no matter what happens on earth, with anything at all… the word of God is not bound.
Bound is defined in this first mention in the King James Bible… here it is…
Genesis 22:9 (KJV) And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
Isaac is the promised child… sort of like JESUS! Look at this scripture… this is the first mention of Isaac…
Genesis 17:19 (KJV) And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
Doesn’t that sound familiar? Jesus Christ was our sacrifice… he was bound upon the cross…
John 1:29 (KJV) The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
The word of God is so totally awesome! Why isn’t it read, and heard, and prayed, and kept, and written every day in our lives? The cares of this world… that’s the answer. Oh well?
2 Timothy 2:10 (KJV) Therefore I endure all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
I wrote a note in my bible when I was reading this text this morning… I wrote, “If a man is NOT IN Christ, then there is NO eternal glory for him.” Do you see it?
As a believer, we are in Christ Jesus. Can a believer leave Christ Jesus, and therefore leave eternal glory? Why would anyone leave Christ Jesus? Can you find scriptures for this? Does the world have that much of a pull on believers, to the point that they would leave their Saviour Jesus Christ for the world and all it has to offer? Man, these are serious questions to ask. If we are living in sin… then what? Be holy my dear friends. Be holy.
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.
These three scriptures tend to be overlooked at times. Because they are sort of poetic… and therefore not taken serious. They are important and should be taken with great understanding. Have ears to hear and a heart to understand is in order here.
1. To be dead with Jesus is to be born-again
2. To suffer is to take up your cross and follow Jesus
3. To deny Jesus is to go back and walk no more with Jesus
4. To believe not is to not accept Christ Jesus as Saviour
As we can clearly see in this passage, we could spend an entire letter on just these three scriptures! Wouldn’t you agree?
2 Timothy 2:14-16 (KJV)… These remaining scriptures of our context, could be a little overwhelming coming from what has already been written here in this Sunday Prayer Letter. Why not stop here, or maybe after reading the rest of this letter, go look up this entire passage, then slowly and deliberately read, or dare I say, study and search, how these holy scriptures apply to your own life.
We can take a quick look at a couple of words that some use out of context. These are “profane” and “vain babblings” from here we could go in many different directions. But let’s not… let’s simply say, that when we speak by the Holy Ghost, this is NOT what they say it is.
Because over the years, I’ve heard it said, praying in tongues is “vain babblings” which is or could be blaspheme! This is an extremely strong word to use… even in the Holy Bible. The first time that God used it is in Leviticus 24.11, in the King James Bible. The context or definition is to curse the name of the LORD. That’s a tough one for many. Again, beware…
1 Peter 5:8 (KJV) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
Going back to our title of this Sunday Prayer Letter… “The Word Of God Is Not Bound”, nor is it in prison, nor is it locked away, and most certainly is alive and is for you my friend!
When you too, have the word of God, you too are not bound… nor in chains… nor subject to hell and the great white throne…
Revelation 20:11 (KJV) And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Revelation 20:12 (KJV) And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
I’m going to ask a tough question here…
Are You Saved?
If you are not sure of your eternal destiny, not convinced that you are saved… then right now… give Jesus a call… his number is Romans 10:13…
Romans 10:13 (KJV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
“Lord Jesus, I call upon you now, save me Lord, save me!!!!”
John 20:31 (KJV) But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
Welcome to the family of God my friend!
You are loved by God Almighty!
You will spend eternity with the Lord Jesus Christ!
You have eternal life!
You are saved!
Okay, that’s it for this letter… I pray it was enough to get you started, and even going further into the word of God… because as you know… “The Word Of God Is Not Bound!”
With the grace of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
—JC.
Genesis 6:8 (KJV) But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
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.
Proverbs 22:11 (KJV) He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.
Revelation 22:21 (KJV) The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Amen, and Amen.

“Teach No Other Doctrine” — Podcast Episode 45 on the show, “Touching People For Heaven.”
“Teach No Other Doctrine”
1 Timothy 1:3-4 (KJV) As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
Greetings friend!
Let’s Pray!
“Lord Jesus, thank you for giving us a clear and holy doctrine to follow. With the Holy Ghost as our teacher of the word of truth, we are able to understand the knowledge of God. What a wonderful blessing this is Lord Jesus, to be allowed to grasp the mysteries of God! We fully look to you Holy Spirit for our direction in this study of God’s word. Only by you, the Spirit of God, will we be able to hear the Lord Jesus Christ call us home. In your precious name Jesus, we pray. Amen.”
Many times when I write, and I write a lot… just about everyday, my flesh tells me that I will run out of things to write about. I immediately rebuke that! Because if I don’t catch this lie instantly, it will disappear into my mind and lodge itself somewhere so that I’ll forget about it. Then when the season of germination ends, this evil thought of doubt will rise up and take my life. Do you think that this is possible? You best believe it, my friend! The devil hates God’s people, and if you’re a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, then you too are one of God’s people!
This is sort of a long intro to the letter, but I wanted to make clear that Satan is real and is a deceiver. The god of this world blinds people’s eyes and mind and stops their ears. Be alert! “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” (Reference 2 Corinthians 2:11, KJV.)
As typical fashion, the Sunday Prayer Letter is out of the yard and rolling, north bound. We’re headed for some good stuff ahead and there should be some exhortation that will edify our spirit. Looking always to God’s grace, mercy, and peace, from our Father in heaven and Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour! Amen.
In the last Sunday Prayer Letter, we talked about Mark 4:30,31,32, titled “Mustard Seed” …if you haven’t read it, or even listened to the podcast episode based upon the letter, then by all means, you should! It appears that each letter has bits and pieces that build upon each other and quite possibly be constructing something of great value in our spirit. The Holy Ghost is moving in our ministry. The Holy Ghost is our Boss!
In this letter, “Teach No Other Doctrine” …we should be going over many important scriptures that seed the word of truth into the good ground of our mind and spirit. Are you good ground?
This passage of scripture is where we are building our letter with or on… more specifically, it’s the part of scripture text that tells us or even charges us to, teach no other doctrine, and as you can see Paul gives a brief on what to look for.
1 Timothy 1:3 (KJV) As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
1 Timothy 1:4 (KJV) Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.
Let’s quickly look at our title: “Teach No Other Doctrine”
“Teach” is first mentioned in Exodus 4:12 (KJV) Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say. (Reference the entire passage: Exodus 4:10-17, KJV.)
When you finish this letter, take a quick recourse and read and think on this reference passage… there is a huge lesson for all of us! There really is!
“No” is an absolute order to not do the thing God is telling us NOT to do! I could only find the words no other, because the bible app indicated that, no is to small… but look at the first mention of “no other”… Exodus 20:3 (KJV) Thou shalt have no other gods before me. This is such a bold statement! How many of today’s modern Christians obey this one. It’s actually quite easy for Satan to sneak this into unsuspecting believers. Stay on watch!
(The thought just came to me to place Exodus 4:10-17 in the bottom portion of this letter. Interesting, we’ll see how that works out!)
“Other” is a peculiar word. It’s actually apart of a group of words that describe family. Look here at the first mention of [m]other… it’s Genesis 2:24! It’s also here, [b]other… Genesis 4:2, and here, [an]other… Genesis 4:25. This is very interesting! The actual first mention of the single word, other, is Genesis 4:19… and this here too is in reference to family! Don’t you just love the King James Bible! How could anyone see and agree that the KJV is archaic and needs to be destroyed? Now we know who is saying this… that’s right, Satan, himself! My friend, never ever be ignorant of his devices. (Reference: 2 Corinthians 2:11, KJV.)
“Doctrine” is the word I really like the most… the way teachers teach this from corrupted bibles, I was taught the wrong definition and usage of this word. Let’s go to the pure word of God and see what doctrine actually means, by referencing the first mention of the word… Deuteronomy 32:2 (KJV) My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
Let’s add here some more scriptures, because these are really good!
Deuteronomy 32:3 (KJV) Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
Deuteronomy 32:4 (KJV) He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
Doctrine means our speech. Or quite possibly, the way we speak, the actual words used!
Doesn’t the word of God get you excited? Hey look, if for some reason you don’t get enthused with the holy scriptures, then possibly you may not be born again. Just saying here… then if you are born again, there just might be some sin in your life. Hey look, I just want to write a nice little letter here, and be done with it… but guess what… the Holy Ghost is in charge here! I only want, what God wants. That’s it!
Are you saved? If you died tonight, do you know for sure, absolutely know, that you would go straight to heaven? Do you have the assurance in your heart, that if you died tonight that you would go to heaven?
If yes, then is that assurance based on faith in the precious blood of Christ? (Reference: 1 Peter 1:16-25, KJV.) (I place these scripture references not to look cool, no… they are here for you to go read and study and search the scriptures. The holy scriptures are given to us so that we may know how to be saved. Therefore, get to it! It’s how I got saved! If Fred Bertsch hadn’t loaned me his bible, when I relieved him at my battle station, a King James Bible, non-the-less, then who knows what might have happened to me?) Get serious about the word of truth!
If no, then simply call upon the Lord Jesus Christ. Ask Jesus to come into your life. Pray to Jesus asking him to forgive you and save you. I simply prayed a little prayer, I said, “Jesus, if you’re real, here I am.” Then instantly I was saved and delivered from drugs and set free from the spirit of fear! I was born again, my friend! (Reference: Romans 10:13, KJV. In fact, read the whole chapter, it’s only 21 verses.) This might be your answer, the real one that you are looking for? Not that other one. Okay?
If you just now, received Jesus as your Saviour, congratulations on the very best decision of your life! Now hang on for the ride of your life! You can get started by going back to Romans 10 and reading that chapter again, then do it again, and talk to God… thanking Jesus for saving you! Always be thankful! Now go tell somebody, but watch out when you do… be easy on them! Get one of our gospel tracts, and just sit down with them and talk about it, then just say… “let’s pray!” Then begin praying, DON’T WAIT! Just start praying.
Can you see from this Sunday Prayer Letter, that the commandment to publish the gospel, as per the Lord Jesus Christ in Mark 13:10, KJV is quite easy to do, and quite easy not to do?
Mark 13:10 (KJV) And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
And here too..
Luke 8:39 (KJV) Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.
It really is something that you can do!
Get a simple little gospel tract, a Chick Tract, (chick.com), it’s a small booklet with the plan of salvation in it and a parable of sorts that catches people’s attention and they read it… then the Holy Ghost proves to them that what they just read, is the truth. They are moved by the Holy Ghost to pray, then by faith, they ask Jesus Christ into their life… then there is joy in heaven!
Luke 15:10 (KJV) Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
Okay, it looks like the mission of this letter is successful!
It’s written…
It’s lead another soul to Christ…
It’s edified the reader…
It’s exhorted the same..
It’s comforted likewise…
This is called… being obedient to the call of God on your life.
Amen?
God bless you, man!
Here is the scriptures I said that I would place near the bottom of the letter…
Exodus 4:10-17 (KJV) And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD? Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say. And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart. And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth: and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do. And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God. And thou shalt take this rod in thine hand, wherewith thou shalt do signs.
Servant of the Lord Jesus Christ,
—JC.
Psalm 31:16 (KJV) Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies’ sake.
Psalm 113:1 (KJV) Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD.
Psalm 119:140 (KJV) Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.
Amen, and Amen.

“Mustard Seed” — Podcast Episode 44 on the show, “Touching People For Heaven.”
“Mustard Seed”
Mark 4:30-32 (KJV) And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
Greetings friend!
Let’s Pray!
“Lord Jesus, you are simply amazing! It seems that every time we call upon your name, there are things that happen that could be called a “miracle!” We love you Lord, and so appreciate all that you are doing to prepare your bride for that beautiful day. Thank you Holy Spirit for your continual communion and fellowship and comfort to us. Without you, we suppose there may be no way that we could be ready for our bridegroom. We love you! In our Saviour’s name we pray. Amen.”
Isn’t it odd when you think about the prayer we just prayed? Did you notice that we prayed about being a bride for a bridegroom? Have you also noticed that many people are asking questions about the end times? Also, some are asking is this when Jesus is suppose to return? Interesting questions that many are asking. Of course we all know that questions like these are asked when there are great tribulations going on around us and around the world… like the years, 2020 and 2021. However, we just continue on our path with the Lord Jesus Christ!
In our previous Sunday Prayer Letter, we talked about Romans 8:26 and the letter was titled, “Intercession For Us” … the letter outlined many key items that may help us to understand the roll of the Holy Ghost in the believers life. In this letter, we will be continuing our discussion about the many aspects of the Holy Ghost. As usual though, we will look at this in a most unusual way. So let’s get started!
The titled sort of says what I want to share in this letter. “Mustard Seed.” What is the first thing you think about when you say the words, mustard seed?
Here is Webster’s 1828 definition of mustard…
MUS’TARD, n. A plant of the genus Sinapis,and its seed, which has a pungent taste and is a powerful stimulant. It is used externally in cataplasms, and internally as a diuretic and stimulant.
Also here is the definition of seed…
SEED, n. 1. The substance, animal or vegetable, which nature prepares for the reproduction and conservation of the species. The seeds of plants are a deciduous part, containing the rudiments of a new vegetable. In some cases, the seeds costitute the fruit or valuable part of plants, as in the case of wheat and other esculent grain; sometimes the seeds are inclosed in fruit, as in apples and melons. When applied to animal matter, it has no plural. 2. That from which any thing springs; first principle; original; as the seeds of virtue or vice. 3. Principle of production.
Mark 4:30-32 (KJV) And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
When you think of the “kingdom of God” what comes to mind?
Here is maybe a different answer to this question. In preface, since the Father is in heaven, we are on earth, the Word is on the right hand of God, therefore this leaves the Holy Ghost… where is he? Yes, that’s correct… the Holy Ghost is here on earth with us! This is what Jesus talked about, when he mentioned that the Father will send the promise.
Could this be likened to a “Mustard Seed?”
See what I mean? This letter may be a little different than what you hear most preachers talk about when the sermon is on the “mustard seed!”
Look at this scripture: Matthew 13:31 (KJV) Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
What field would this be in our discussion? That’s right, the earth! The Holy Ghost is here, now, and growing and maturing the body of Christ into a bride fit for a KING!
Here’s another one: Matthew 13:32 (KJV) Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
We are like trees… the Holy Ghost is growing us and shaping us into the image of Christ! So much so, that people will come to lodge in our branches and take shelter. This is a stretch and I understand this… however, the Holy Ghost is not limited to our brain. This is why the diligent study of the word of truth is very important to a believer’s life in Christ. This also let’s us know why our enemy is hot after changing the bible to match what he wants done. Beware!
Mark 4:30-32 (KJV) And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.
Okay, so let’s come back to reality or earth or whatever… and see what Jesus is talking about here in our text of Mark 4:30-32. There are several key points that Jesus is teaching on, not just one. Do you see that?
Let’s talk briefly on some of these points.
“Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God?”
Clearly we can see that Jesus is going to tell us about his kingdom. He is the King of the kingdom of God! That’s pretty cool… we are apart of the King! Jesus is also teaching that the kingdom of God is simple to understand and not a complex, mystical, metaphysical, cosmic, universe type thing that you here new age people discuss or describe. I am so convinced, that new age philosophy is NOT the way to go. However, I hear many Christians on the street talk like new age… their words are scrambled and nonsensical. As a street preacher, I think we come up with a lot of goofy words to relate to the passerby on the street! This could also by why many don’t get the street preaching ministry. Oh well… tally ho!
“or with what comparison shall we compare it?”
Comparing the kingdom of God to something on earth is really bringing heaven into focus for us and giving us the opportunity to grasp the enormity of eternity and of heaven. We can look around and see what Jesus is taking about. Therefore, we can understand the kingdom of God by what Jesus taught and what the Holy Ghost has written in the word of truth.
“It is like a grain of mustard seed,”
Now that is simplifying this huge eternal existence down to our little earth, and not just to it, but to the smallest seed on the planet. (I’m just using the scriptures for discussion here, so I’m not aware of the all possible seeds on earth. Okay?)
“which, when it is sown in the earth,”
Are you glad that God didn’t talk about this seed being sown on the planet of Mars, or Jupiter, or even Pluto? I know that sounds funny, but God is very specific and not random and haphazard to his kingdom! Praise the Lord!
“is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:”
This part is the mind stretching part when we talk about the Holy Ghost in this parable. Think about this for a moment… in Acts chapter 2 we see that the Holy Ghost came to one place… he didn’t come to every place on earth all at once!
This one place, as described in Acts chapter 1 is a small location and in an upper room, not even in the entire home! This is a small place… one place… “And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room,” Acts 1:13, KJV. “And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.” Acts 2:1, KJV.
Can you see that the Holy Ghost started in a very tiny location? And of course is now, over the entire globe! That is amazing! And this is why we start with something small and build. Amen?
“But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it.”
This is why I love the Holy Ghost so very much! (Ref: 2 Corinthians 13:14, KJV.) Plus it is also why I have such a vast amount of joy, it’s because the Holy Ghost is in my life! (Ref: Acts 13:52, KJV.) This is also why we all must build up ourselves on our most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost! (Ref: Jude 1:20, KJV.)
When we grow with the aid of the Holy Ghost, people will be able to come to us and lodge under the shadow of our life in the Spirit. This is not us being big deals and full of pride and of a haughty spirit… NO… this is allowing the Holy Ghost to build our ministries so that people may come and hear the preaching and ministry and teaching of the gospel of Christ!
If we don’t grow in the Spirit of truth… then our spirit may turn and seek out the god of this world to be edified by. A HUGE ALERT HERE! This is another example of Ezekiel 13 in modern day. Always be alert and aware of false teachers and corrupted seed! That corrupted seed, just might be a devil! (A wolf in sheep’s attire?) I don’t know?
Let’s include here one more scripture… Mark 4:33 (KJV) And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.
Do you see the words, “as they were able to hear it.” This tells us that our Lord and Saviour knew their hearts and what they were able to digest at that time. This life with the Holy Ghost is no different. The Spirit of truth will only reveal what each of us are able to understand at the moment.
This could be another reason why Satan teaches those who will listen (hint hint… stop listening!). What the devil teaches is that conforming to this world is the better way to go, as a Christian… because, as Satan says, “so the world can relate to you.” That’s NOT what you, who are reading this Sunday Prayer Letter, need to do. What does the scripture actually say? Do you know? Do you know where it is in the bible?
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.
The seed that God sows in you will grow if you follow this Romans 12:2 commandment. And this is why we all need to know all the counsel of God. If we don’t know the word of truth… then being led astray becomes easy for the deceiver. Beware!
Okay… that’s it for this letter!
May the grace of Jesus fill your heart and mind…
May the mercy of God be full in your heart…
May the truth of the kingdom of God be overflowing in your life!
With great respect in JESUS,
—JC.
John 1:17 (KJV) For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
2 John 1:3 (KJV) Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
3 John 1:3 (KJV) For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
Amen, and Amen.

“Intercession For Us” — Podcast Episode 43 on the show, “Touching People For Heaven.”
“Intercession For Us”
Romans 8:26 (KJV) Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Greetings friend!
Let’s Pray!
“Holy Spirit, thank you for helping us. Everything you do for us builds us up and edifies us. Without you Holy Ghost, life as a believer would be impossible… but with you, through Christ which strengthens us, we can do all things, to the glory of God our Father. Even now Holy Ghost, to the point of helping us to pray, right now. Thank you. Prayer brings us close to our Lord and Saviour. It’s almost like when you help us pray, we can see what we pray, even hear the answer to our prayer… isn’t this too a miracle? To hear from God, what a glorious communion we have with God by you Holy Ghost. Thank you for teaching us the word of truth about prayer. In the name of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.”
There is something so very special about real Spirit filled prayer that captivates my attention and my emotions. I hear so many naysayers put down the emotions of our spirit. I feel so sad for people who make life as a Christian mundane, legalistic, and emotionless. All we have to do is look into the word of truth and see for ourselves all the emotion exhibited by God himself! We are created in God’s image and his likeness. How could anyone categorize emotion as worldly or evil?
Obviously there are emotions that are of flesh and of the world. Must we talk about that? No. We move onward towards the high calling of God in Christ Jesus upon our lives. We are ambassadors of Christ! Resist what the devil tells you. Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up! Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. In Jesus name, in Jesus name, in Jesus name. Amen. Amen.
Well there you go! Another Sunday Prayer Letter is off and running… I love it! God is so good… let us all ask God to help us to be as good to him as he is to us. It’s a two-way street my friend… God is not mocked… whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. That’s an absolute doctrine… and not up for debate! Don’t be deceived my friend.
On the streets of my city I talk with dozens of people who have their own beliefs. They tell me that they don’t need the bible because they believe. They believe all kinds of weird and stupid stuff that they are convinced is the truth! Listen, if somebody believes a lie, that belief will not ever change the lie into a truth! Come on man… be smart! Oh well…
So now we move onto what this letter is all about. First, in the last Sunday Prayer Letter we talked about Romans 10:13 and the many supporting scriptures. The basis was that if someone would call upon the name of the Lord from a sincere or broken heart unto the Lord Jesus, that he would save them through their faith. This is along the lines of repentance and justification by faith. It was a wonderful letter, you should read it if you haven’t already, or maybe read it again?
In this Sunday Prayer Letter, we are about to talk about the theme in Romans 8:26. Now from my point of view this continues on a similar theme as many of the previous letters have covered. It’s rather amazing to me to see what the Holy Ghost is doing. I truly love this time in my Saturday Sabbath that I sit down at my desk and open up my SwordSearcher bible software, along with my King James Bible, and my Scourby app. It seems like this is a time that I get to listen to the Holy Ghost like none other time. I cherish it and protect my time with the Spirit of truth. I hope you do too!
Romans 8:26 (KJV) Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
One of my most favorite scriptures tie directly into this letter’s key scripture… namely, Jude 1:20. Let me also put it here:
Jude 20 (KJV) But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
The title of our letter is, “Intercession For Us”. At first glance, one would think that this refers to the Holy Ghost, and of course it does, however I see that this can include each of us interceding for all the names in our Prayer Book! I say that because, to think that we know what to pray, for each of these names that we mention to God in prayer, is to think we know more than God does! Right? I hear so many believers pray for things that God has no intention of answering! Why? Because they are praying out of their own spirit, NOT the Holy Spirit of God!
The good thing about any kind of prayer is that, if you continue praying AND asking the Holy Ghost for help, then the Spirit should redirect your prayers, or in other words, change your prayer and your heart to reflect what God wants for that person that you pray for. When we pray the words of God’s desire for the person, then we may most likely see a miracle! And let me clarify the word miracle… if God answers your prayers… that’s a miracle! I mean really! So many want some spectacular-earth-moving-out-of-this-world answer! Why not just be humble, and meekly ask our gracious Father which is in heaven, to help us to pray.
Romans 8:26 (KJV) Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
“Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities:…”
The word, likewise, points back one verse or so… it’s this one: “But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.”
To wait with patience, is an act of the Spirit of God in you. By forcing yourself to be patient, your flesh will grow, but your spirit will remain weak. By always trusting the Spirit of truth to show you the way, then your spirit will grow and mature in the Spirit of God.
We hope in things that are eternal, not temporal, because that is only what we can see. Eternal things are what edifies and builds our spirit. For we will not live here on what we now see. Later yes, however, we will have a new earth… this refers to much later in time, and only at God’s timing will that take place. Be ready now! And you can do that by, allowing the Spirit to help our weaknesses.
“…for we know not what we should pray for as we ought:…”
Do you think that is true? If so, then why is it that I hear so many Christians on the street pray like they know what is going on, and they don’t need any help from the Holy Spirit? To me, this is a scary way to live. For some reason, I’ve been blessed for decades to not pray on my own. What I mean is, I pray with the Holy Ghost. I ask what to pray. I ask how to pray. I ask is this correct? I ask how can I pray better? I ask how can I love you more? I ask how to pray the word of God? I ask and I ask and I ask… I don’t stop asking for help!!! I look at myself as being ignorant… that is the opposite of being smart! I think?
“…but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us…”
There it is… our answer on how to pray! This is very similar to what one of the disciples asked Jesus, “teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.” What we understand is, the Holy Ghost at this time, that Jesus was teaching how to pray, was prior to the Holy Ghost filling all, when the day of Pentecost was fully come. So then, could it be that now with the Holy Ghost present for all those who receive, can we now ask the Spirit of God to teach us to pray? And you know what? The Holy Ghost will take us through the holy scriptures, teaching us all things that the Lord Jesus Christ taught! Isn’t that beautiful?
Now a caution! We all know that when we build another foundation, even if we think we are doing good for people, then this person or persons or country will build something that will be like the city and a tower whose top may reach unto heaven. (ref: Ge 11.1-9). Beware of false teachers. This is why in these Sunday Prayer Letters, I constantly refer you back to the word of truth, the Holy Bible, King James Version. “The words of the LORD are pure words…Every word of God is pure…thy word is truth.” —Psalm 12 and Proverbs 30 and John 17, KJV.
“…with groanings which cannot be uttered.”
Okay, now here is the sticking point that get many believers off track and into wrong doctrine. Wow! Now that is a mouth full… and should wake us up from reading this long letter!
Take a long look at the word “groanings” or “groan”. Right next to this word is the phrase… “which cannot be uttered.”
Groan is first found in Exodus 2:24 “And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.”
Question: If groanings cannot be uttered, then how did God hear their groaning?
Answer: (Found in Webster’s 1828 Dictionary.) “GROAN, n. A deep mournful sound, uttered in pain, sorrow or anguish. 1. Any low, rumbling sound; as the groans of roaring wind.”
You see, groanings can be heard! They are sounds that come up out of your spirit.
Look here at the first mention of “groan” in the New Testament: John 11:33-35 (KJV) When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept.
Please take a few minutes and think on these things. This is important to your future now, and later.
Groanings are low, rumbling sounds that resembles wind, wind that blows, wind that fills, as the groans of roaring wind. 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 2:4 (KJV) And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Groanings can be heard! Let us take this to the next scripture that is important to your future. But first let me say, one of the reasons why the scripture says, “cannot be uttered” is possibly to safeguard us from forcing our spirit to take the place of the Holy Spirit of God. If the word said, can be uttered, then people may force their spirit to act like the Spirit of God. You can reference this in Ezekiel 13. However, in God’s wisdom, he said, “cannot be uttered.” This is something good to think on.
Jude 20 (KJV) But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
Jude tells us to build up ourselves on our most holy faith! Now, that is one big statement. When I say this to people, their first reaction is, they tilt their head in wonder! You see, to many preachers and pastors are feeding the flock of God’s sheep with “milk-toast!” This letter here is not milk; I think this could be titled “meat!” What do you think?
So now the Question is: How do we build up ourselves on our most holy faith?
The Answer: Praying in the Holy Ghost!
When we connect all the scriptures, in all the counsel of God, we come up with this: “They shall speak with new tongues;” —Mark 16:17, KJV. When you speak with new tongues, you are building up yourselves on your most holy faith!
From here, praying in the Holy Ghost, will be the answer to living through what may come next on earth? What is coming? God knows.
To fully understand the context of our verse for this letter, read the book of Romans. At least this part: Romans 8:1-39, KJV.
There you go my friend!
Here’s to another Sunday Prayer Letter in the books!
May the Lord who keeps the books see your name written that book!
The book of life…
In love with the Holy Ghost,
—JC.
Philippians 4:3 (KJV) And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life.
Revelation 3:5 (KJV) He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Revelation 20:15 (KJV) And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Amen, and Amen.

“Whosoever Shall Call”
Romans 10:13 (KJV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Greetings friend!
Let’s Pray!
“Lord Jesus, we love you! We can love you because you first loved us. This is almost to hard for us to believe. Here we were hating on you, and you were loving on us. We suppose, that is one of the reasons, we love you now so very much… we were not lovable, and you still loved us. Lord Jesus, you provide to us such a wonderful example on how to love. If we love people like you love people, then our ministry should flourish, because all we have to do is to look around at all the souls being saved. This tells us that you truly do love people. Thank you Lord Jesus for all your beautiful gentleness and love. Help us to be like you, our Saviour! In your name Jesus, we pray. Amen.”
I’ve been crying for the last several minutes, and unable to write. Because of Jesus’ amazing love for me. I was a sinner. I was going to hell. I had no hope. I was lost. I had given up. I was in fear. I was trapped in sin. Then I cried out to Jesus, and simply said, “Jesus, if you’re real, here I am.” And he got me. He saved me. Oh Lord, I owe you my life and all my love, I so freely give to you all that I am, and all that I will ever be. I love you Jesus.
Still crying, and tears on my desk and bible… folks, we owe our love to Jesus for what he has done for us. Why oh why do you so love the world and give all your life to this dying world? Yesterday, or rather on Friday, I was in Denver, preaching and ministering for seven hours to about 3,000 people. Do you know how many of the 3,000 wanted to do what I was doing? That’s right, 0. Zero!
There must have been at least many hundreds of Christians where I was on Friday, however, you would never know it. The way Christian’s dress, the way they act, the way they talk, and the way they love all the world has to offer! Why? Isn’t the Lord Jesus Christ good enough to receive all your love? Why give Jesus, your bridegroom but a tidbit or a token or a drop of your love? And then turn away from Jesus, your Saviour who shed his precious blood on that old wooden rugged cross, just for you, so that you can come to heaven and have eternal life! Isn’t that enough to give an hour of your time to the Lord?
Isn’t it enough to give a look in the mirror and ask the Lord, is this what you want me to wear? Isn’t it enough to stop lusting after the world and its sin? Isn’t it enough….? Oh people, look at yourself… look deeply and think… and then ask the Lord Jesus Christ, your Saviour and God to help you to be the man or woman that the Lord wants you to be. I cry for your soul… and for mine. Save us Jesus…
“Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.” Psalm 106:47 (KJV)
Well, once again, I start the Sunday Prayer Letter off with a bang! I write only what the Holy Ghost puts on my heart. I don’t embellish nor diminish whatever I am given.
So let’s move on, in my last Sunday Prayer Letter we talked about can two walk together, except they be agreed. This is Amos 3:3, KJV. In this letter we may talk about the start or the beginning on why this agreement is vitally important to our future. Tally ho…
The scripture base for this letter is in Romans. What a great book this is! I used to call it the Truckers Bible, or letter to the over-the-road truckers in the world! I did this because, I’ve heard people call this the Roman Road to Salvation. The book contains an easy to follow method of leading people to salvation. So, I just called it the Truckers Roman Road! Oh well, let’s go on!
Romans 10:13 (KJV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
When I’m on the street, I usually go to a couple of other verses rather than this one is keyed off of. Namely, Joel 2:32 and Acts 2:21. In fact, let’s just put them both here…
Joel 2:32 (KJV) And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
Acts 2:21 (KJV) And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
As you can see, these are prophetic and powerful, being full of the Holy Ghost… I mean the word of God is filled with the Spirit of truth… because God calls his word, the word of truth!
This is another reason why I love the ministry of the Holy Ghost. And also why many Christians don’t use the ministry of the Holy Ghost, because they say, that there is more to being saved than just these verses! That’s what they say, because of the corrupted bible they all read. Their bible says, you are not saved! It says, you are being saved! So the question is: Are you saved? OR… Are you being saved?
Did you answer the question?
Do you know when people began to call upon the Lord to be saved? It would surprise you! It is not in the New Testament! You might think it would be… but it’s here in Genesis… wow, the very first book of the bible! How cool is that?
Genesis 4:26 (KJV) And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
I really love that! Can you see that people were calling on the Lord before Jesus even hung on the cross, and died for our sins, shedding his precious blood, and being buried and then raised on the third day by the Father. Folks, that is FAITH in action! Why not go read the “Hall of Faith”… it’s Hebrews 11.
Romans 10:13 (KJV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
There is more going on here in this short text of Romans 10:13. To know what is happening here in this text, read the context of chapter 10. This chapter will provide wonderful insight into how to be saved. Then also how the Apostle Paul led people to salvation, and a simple step process that can save even the hard hearted. Some believers use this exclusively, and still others mix several scriptures together to introduce salvation to people.
For me, I just tell people give Jesus a call. I so totally rely on the power of the Holy Ghost to bring new life to people and to aid them in calling or crying out to the Lord. Much of the techniques that people use tend to come from how they got saved. That is why I do what I can to get people to read the bible, or more specifically I get them to read a gospel tract. In the tract are enough scriptures to get people thinking about salvation, or get curious to read more scriptures in the Holy Bible.
That’s what I did… the guys on board our Navy ship witnessed to me, and some how they got me interested in reading the bible. Of course, this took about a year and a half! But what is time? I finally had the opportunity to read the Holy Bible, thank the Lord it was a King James Bible!!!! HINT! HINT! HINT! Use the King James Bible! Always! Stop reading and comparing other bibles. That only destroys your faith in God’s pure and preserved word of truth.
So one day, at battle stations… Fred volunteered to leave his bible for me to read… I read for five hours… then, about two weeks later, I prayed while alone in the bunk area, of operations, (I was a Petty Officer, Quartermaster), all I said was, “Jesus, if you’re real, here I am.” That was a cry from my heart, I called out to the Lord. Jesus saved me that very second! And did a miracle with me, besides saving me.
As you can see, I didn’t go to church, I didn’t change anything in my life prior to asking Jesus into my life. I didn’t recite a certain prayer. I didn’t pray with anyone. I didn’t repent. I didn’t do nearly anything that religious Christians say to do to get saved! Do you get it!!! Stop putting more onto people than simply calling out to the Lord… that calling is a cry from their heart! Let the Holy Ghost clean them up and get them ready for the wedding. You don’t have to do it. Nor do they do it! That is all being saved by works! Not by faith!
What does the scripture say…
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.
Habakkuk 2:4 (KJV) Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
John 3:36 (KJV) He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Galatians 3:11 (KJV) But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
Philippians 3:9 (KJV) And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
Hebrews 10:38 (KJV) Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
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.
Hebrews 11:7 (KJV) By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
Look here at these scriptures too, and think about how you were saved, and then think about how many of the denominations save people… oh my, look at what any church does and see how they are taught to lead people to Jesus… yes, I know there are great and wonderful churches in the United States and throughout the world. However, there are a vast array of churches every where that shackle the people and restrict them from coming to Jesus Christ because they are sinners! Oh man, I could go on and on about this in the Christian world.
Here are those scriptures…
Romans 5:1-5 (KJV) Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Do you see it is the Holy Ghost that is working in the new believer. Just cry out to the Lord, it’s easy and simple to get saved. Look here at these scriptures…
Psalm 18:6 (KJV) In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
Yes, I know what the context is… and that is why so many are afraid to work and to rightly divide the word of truth. I hear to many say, Preacher you took that out of context, that is not referring to what you just said! Oh man, give me a break! Look at this here…
1 Corinthians 9:9 (KJV) For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
So, I suppose that even the Apostle Paul didn’t know what he was doing, based on what you just said… because this verse is taken out of context! Oh but wait, you read the rest of the story and now you can say, no Preacher, this is not out of context… however, when you preach, you preach all over the place! I’ve heard so much stuff over the decades. The best is to just pray to God, and ask what he wants you to do. Then go do it… immediately, or rather when God tells you when he wants you to do it. Okay?
Going all the way back to our beginning text, in Romans…
Romans 10:13 (KJV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
This is the simplest way to be saved.
Why complicate it?
Why change it to make it a hurdle?
Living for Jesus is already a higher road!
So there you go my friend, give Jesus a call…
His number is Romans 10:13.
If that number is busy…
His back up number is Acts 2:21.
And then if that one happens to be busy…
Call this one… Joel 2:32.
Look, I’m just being humorous… getting saved is not a drudgery. Okay?
Here are a few more numbers that you can use…
2 Samuel 22:4.
1 Kings 18:24.
Hebrews 11:6.
Why do I write like this… maybe it’s this…
Hebrews 3:13 (KJV) But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
With charity,
—JC.
1 Timothy 1:5 (KJV) Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
Titus 2:2 (KJV) That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
1 Peter 4:8 (KJV) And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
Amen, and Amen.
