Hab.2:4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: But the just shall live by Faith.

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. John 13:34-35 Good morning it's been awhile since I've posted anything. Just wanted to say to all who know me or know of me, if I have done are said anything that has offended you may I ask your forgiveness.
Life is so short and when I look back over my life I see many empty moments of time where there was a voice that I felt was my friend. I still consider them my friend and before God Whom I love and serve and Who's responsible for every person that has entered into my life, because if it hadn't been for Him allowing me to become His son through believing that Jesus died for me and paid for all of my sins, and sealed me with His Holy Spirit I would never have met the people that's in my life, including my wife, and immediate family. I know for a fact if it wasn't for Jesus, nothing good would be in my life.
So if you ever considered me a friend and hopefully brother in Christ, if I've said or did anything that has caused you to no longer be able to love me or accept me as a friend, I ask your forgiveness. Jesus said, if you're at the altar and there remember that your brother has ought against thee, leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother and then come and offer thy gift. I thank God our Father for watching over His Word to perform it in our lives, I thank Him for His promises that His Word will not return void, but that it will accomplish that which He has sent it to do.
May we love one another as Christ loved us. Pray for me as I will pray for you, again accept my forgiveness if I have done or said anything that has caused you to have unforgiveness in your heart concerning me. God Bless you.

The most common cause of failure is being distracted by self-reliance, which gives us cause to quit, rather than fail because of our inadequacy, inability to provide for ourselves.
Matthew 14:31 O thou of little faith, Wherefore didst thou doubt?
My declaration unto our Heavenly Father for allowing me to be a part of this day that He has created and expects me/us to rejoice and be glad in it, for we know it's going to be exceptionally great filled with His goodness.
As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after Thee Father, O my GOD. My soul thirsteth for you God my Father, for You are The Living God Who sees and knows all things: when shall I come and appear before Father?
My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God, I thought He was your Father? They can be anything of this world that causes distractions from our Heavenly Father. I John 2:15 - 17
When I remember these things, which Thou has done for me when I was an enemy Romans 5:10, I pour out my soul unto Thee Father the Lover of my soul and my Redeemer, for I had went with the multitude, I went with them to Your house Father, with the voice of joy and of praise, for I knew You Father would not forsake me, Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted in me? I openly acknowledge that no good dwelt within my flesh alone Romans 7:18, my hope is in God as my Father, for I will yet praise Him for in His presence is the fullness of life. Psalms 42:1-5 Would love to hear from you in the comments. God bless you and again thanks for your prayers and thank each of you for your calls. Love you

Do we want Jesus to show up in our community, our workplace, are in our lives in a major way? There's something that you and I can do to make that a reality in a very real way.
We have to give His Word first place in our lives, meaning that we hold fast to My teachings and live in accordance with them.
Colossians 3:1-25 v.1-4 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4.When Christ, Who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

I must clarify my posts from this morning, yes last month Natty celebrated her ninth birthday in heaven. In my last post I shared how Jesus told us These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
I have been working at J.A.I.L. ministry for over 24 years, and must admit that after giving what seems like all that God our Father has given us to those He has given us to serve. That it can leave you feeling so very empty.
Ministry can be overwhelming at times and very lonely, the war with the world is too be expected. It's the war with them that we serve with that can be very painful. For there's no way to fight with your brothers and sisters with joy, it's painful. Forgive me for sharing from the rawness of my soul, it really reminds me of letting go of my daughter Natty, when everything within me wanted her to remain here with me, she brought me pure joy, no judgement of any kind.
Thank each of you for your prayers.
For the LORD our God has blessed each of us, in all the work of our hands. He has watched over our journey here on earth, He has been with us and we have not lacked nothing. But there are battles that make you feel totally alone. Which based upon Jesus words, I'm not trusting in Him, for my peace, but in the world and that's the reason for the tribulation.
Have a blessed day in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Okay my last post for this morning I believe I've heard His voice, the disciples said, Now you're speaking plainly and not using parables. Now we know that You know everything and don't need anyone to question You. By this we believe that You came from God. Jesus responded to them, Do you now believe? I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will suffer but be courageous, I have overcome the world. Amen, we just need to get into the place of Peace, our peace is in Him.

I am reading through the Book of Jeremiah listening for His voice to still my words and bring me some peace. I like the way Jeremiah says that God's Words had become for him a constant disgrace and derision. If I say: I won't mention Him or speak any longer in His Name, His message becomes a fire burning in my heart, shut up in my bones. I become tired of holding it in,and I cannot prevail. I must speak, I have nothing but the hope that God has called me and ordained me, I did not ask to do this and do not call myself a pastor or any other title, I just want to share what believing in the Lord Jesus Christ could be like for one who's suffered the sin of addictions, jail, and prison. That there truly is a hope for the redeemed of the Lord. Father may you continually open our eyes that we might see more clearly that the Power of Your Word truly does hold everything together, this month will be 32 years for me walking with Him, in truth I believe He's had to drag me through most of those years. I never thought that teaching His Word could cause so much pain. Well hopefully I can get some rest, I got to get up in four hours. Pray for me, and I trust the Holy Spirit to direct your prayers. God bless you

Jeremiah 10:19 Woe to me because of my brokenness- I am severly wounded! But this is my intense suffering, and I must bear it. We're told in the Scriptures that he who tries to save his life will lose it, I believe that the last few days has helped me to understand that verse of Scripture. It's amazing how our battles with life can bring us so much clarity. You can truly be hated without a cause, I have never had anything to offer but what the Lord has freely given to us all who believe.
His Word, and it has brought me the greatest of joys and some of the most painful moments of life. The pain of feeling you're all alone and that there's none to come to your aid. But you're not alone, Jesus said of Paul, I must show him how much he must suffer to bear My Name.
This has been a very intense few days for me, the pain of being strip of all that you hoped had been to the glory of God. I found myself at my daughter's grave site, it's there where I feel as though I can cry out to my Heavenly Father without any feeling of shame or feeling as though I'm not trusting in Him. For the passing of Natalin Grace Martin stripped me and humbled me, for I had cried out for her to remain, for she was my strength, she showed me how to endure, how to find joy in the little things. It's at her gravesite where the Holy Spirit comforts me turning my sorrow into joy unspeakable. The third of this month will be 26 years of marriage to my lovely wife Melissa, today is 23 years we've been in our home, and yet as I write this I must fight the good fight of faith. The question I have is Father am I to keep fighting? If I have done anything to offend any please forgive me for that was not my intention, and if there's any who consider me a brother in Christ. I ask you to please pray for me and with me to have a clear conscious before God as we speak forth His Holy Word, that as always I may conduct myself honorably in everything and that I may finish the race set before me.
Gracious and loving Father, what great joy and inspiration it brings to my soul to realize your greatness, that as we come to realize that all of the things that your creation reveals to us of your awesomeness, we can come to realize that there's nothing too hard for You, You can truly do all things, the one thing You can't do is fail, Father may your faithfulness be the Truth that I walk on in this day and all the days You may bestow. In Jesus Name

Are you experiencing the overflowing, more abundant life that is available to all who believe in Jesus as Savior? Paul says, we're to be more than conquerors if we believe in the love of God, that was expressed through the Cross of Calvary.
We must believe that God expressed His love while we were yet sinning. Romans 5:8 But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (who were still sinning at the time of Jesus Crucifixion).
The acceptance of God's love, is what protects us against whatsoever we may encounter. Our confession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior anchors our souls, allowing us to be more than conqrerors, being fully persuaded that nothing can separate us from that Love.
So what are you facing right now? Are you a conqueror? Let me hear from you.

A Psalm of David. 1.Unto Thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. 2.O my God, I trust in Thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. 3.Yea, let none that wait on Thee be ashamed, let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

To say that we trust in the LORD and lift our souls to Him and then to allow doubt to enter our hearts, should produce shame. I know every time that I refuse to trust in the LORD, I've always experience shame, when I don't triumph as His Word says, I have to learn to trust in Him no matter what's happening.
Have you ever experienced shamed when a promise is left unrealized?
Have you ever experienced shame waiting on the LORD? Starting to feel anxiousness creeping into to interrupt your peace. Have you ever experience shame after leaning to your own understanding, and God answer comes immediately after we lean to our way.
Let this be our confession, Thank You Lord for showing us Thy ways, O LORD; thank You for teaching us Thy paths to righteousness. Thank You for Leading us in Thy truth and teaching us for Thou art the God of our salvation; on Thee do we wait all the days of our lives.

I always believe that the Word of God is the source of all life, including redirecting our lives as the Word of God comes alive in you. The difficulty with life change is being willing to admit that maybe the direction of our life might need to be redirected. In 1Peter 4:1 Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin.
So to me the question is have we suffered enough? And before we can truly answer that question, we must look at what we're doing right now in light of the suffering in which our past/present decisions has caused. If we're still doing the same thing then we haven't suffered that which causes life change. For he who have suffered will ceased from sin/ disobedience to all that is good.
This new way to living comes at a cost, we must die to self-dependence and start the journey of obedience to life free of every obedience that produces deconstruction to being alive. But God be thanked that we were the servants of sin, but we have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine/teaching which was delivered you.
So have you suffered enough to desire life change? Please let me hear from you.
