Let's Pray Over Our Loved Ones, Those In Need & Our Country Today:

"Heavenly Father...To the weak, I ask for strength...to the poor, I ask for a open door...to the broken hearts & bodies, I ask for healing...to the gossips, liars, slanderers, who call evil good and good evil, and have returned good with evil, I ask you bust their jaws day & night until they repent...to our nations authorities, I ask you guide them in righteousness and salvation...to those who are attempting to destroy this nation, I ask that the sword of judgment come swiftly upon them...to those who protect this nation & people, I ask your hand be upon each and they listen to your Spirit to guide their steps and angels be assigned to watch over & protect...to those who are your children, son's & daughters through simple faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, we ask for the opportunities to show your strength, light & life of your Holy Spirit to set free from every bo***ge, every evil work that has snared those we love and those we come into contact with today…that we will shine purely & powerfully the light of your transforming love...I pray the revelation of Jesus be given to all who do not know Him as we each become laborers in their pathway...In Jesus' name...Amen!!!!!"

Shalom!

I took this picture 10 days before Levi crossed the finish line of this life and stepped into eternity and the arms of Christ Jesus. I remember when God spoke to me and told me Levi would be crossing over soon, I drove out there to see him, knowing God doesn't tell me anything about someone that He hasn't already told them, and there he sat looking out over the creek valley and hills he c**n hunted, trapped, fished, chopped down tree's to split up and sell for 35¢ a rick, worked as my grandfather's ranch hand and lived ever since he was a child.

I skipped the small talk and told him I hear that you are going to cross over soon? Levi replied saying, Yep! Could be any day now...You know Billy, I don't understand people who are afraid to meet God. Because as soon as I see Him, Im going to run up and give Him a hug and thank Him for all He's done for me! And Billy, I want you to know that the last 7 year's have been the best year's of my life (that's the number of years since I found him and had taken care of him)!"

Levi wanted me to do his wake and funeral...I did and it was anything but normal... To begin with,I had the service at a church I had called before to pick him up for church, but was told by the pastor that he only gave a couple of dollars, so he wasn't worth driving out there to pick up...The church was so full, there was standing room only, as everyone in the community came out...Had a young "goth" man come to Christ at the wake who told me that before hearing me preach, he was going to commit su***de, but instead gave his life to Christ, and an elderly man came to Christ at the funeral, which is practically unheard of. Many were healed of their backslidings and a marraige that was on the ropes got on the mend...All out of Levi's wake and funeral services...Just the way he would have wanted it! Yes Sir! Levi literally went from walking gravel road's to walking on the streets of gold! From living in a one room shack, to living in a mansion in Heaven, from swimming in Saline Creek, to jumping in the River of Life flowing from God's throne! All because of Levi's profession of faith in Jesus Christ, as his Lord and Savior, and receiving forgiveness of all his sins! Glory to God!! AMEN!!

Jesus is coming soon!

My friend whom I sure do miss, Jimbo Elrod...To know him was to love him...He and I used to tag team on hospital patients, as he knew I was just a text or call away to join in whatever needed to be done to help someone.

I remember one time, I was helping a Vietnam War vet, and took him to Arnold's Hamburgers on Admiral, when I saw an old autographed OU picture of James Jimbo Elrod on the wall, and took a picture of it and texted Jimbo saying, "LOL, I bet you don't know where I'm at!!" In a few seconds, he texted me back and said, "LOL, you're at Arnold's Hamburgers!!" 😅

Then Jimbo said it was strange I should text him right now, because he was just talking about me, and wondered if I would go to the hospital to pray with a young man he had befriended, who had no family, and whom doctors didn't expect to make it...Of course I said I would and went that afternoon, and led the young man to Christ, and God healed him and he left the hospital a new man.

Jimbo always had a big heart, and always was willing to reach out and encourage others. As a matter of fact, in 1975 at the peak of his career at OU ( He is the only OU athlete to start on both a National Championship Football and Wrestling team the same season ) when Jimbo Elrod was a household name known by everyone in Oklahoma, on Christmas day, Jimbo and another Tulsa celebrity, Uncle Zeb, spent the day visiting children in the Tulsa hospital's and giving them presents, just to cheer them up and make their day special, and let them know they weren't forgotten. I know this as a fact, because in my years of hospital ministry, I met a grown man whom as a child was visited by Jimbo on what he thought was going to be a miserable Christmas day in the hospital, and Jimbo and Uncle Zeb made it the most memorable Christmas day in his life, and when I told him that Jimbo and I were friends, his face lit up like an excited child on Christmas and asked me to please tell him how much that visit meant to him as a child!! People who take time out of their life to bless other's are special people, and that's one of the many things I admired about Jimbo.

I never will forget our last conversation, not long before his auto accident which took his life. We were in his brother Billy's kitchen. We all had a beer and we're talking football, when all of a sudden, Jimbo and I were alone and he put his hand on my shoulder and asked, "Now, brother Bill, let me make sure I got this straight...All I have to do is put my faith in Jesus, and all my sins are forgiven and Heaven is my eternal home?!?!" I told him that is exactly what John 3:16 and Romans 10:9-11 tell's us, and right there in his brothers kitchen, Jimbo and I confirmed his faith and salvation in prayer through his profession of faith in Jesus Christ as his Savior!!

Another moment I won't forget is when I told Jimbo that I already asked Jesus to let me have a football team in Heaven, lol, which he got pretty excited about and said well you better pick me for linebacker!! I laughed and said I would, as I mentioned other player's and positions, including Jesus as QB, lol...Talk about the ultimate hail Marys, lol. 😃☝️🙏

Jimbo may be gone, but he's never forgotten by all of us who had the privilege and honor of calling him our dear friend.

Jesus is Lord!!!

In 37 years of ministry, I've made some wonderful close friends. But having a childhood hero, a true worldwide living legend become a close friend for all those years AND who was like a father to me, who would call me to ask why I hadn't been over to their home in Perry, OK in a while? Well, let's just say that knowing Danny and Delores Hodge as close friends, was like living a dream come true and every moment was a great joy in slow motion as I rejoiced over every second.

No matter the problem. Jesus is the answer!

This is Rocket, a sweet little guy.
Many times over the last 36 years, I've snuck beloved family pets into places they weren't supposed to be, and this one time it was for my dear friend Mark, as I was bringing in his faithful friend, Rocket, to see Mark one last time, and say goodbye.

Nothing except Jesus loves us like our beloved pets. They also need and deserve to tell us goodbye, and not think we abandoned them.

Mark Montanes…ETB (Earnest T. Bass)…My great friend & brother from another mother…What can I say, other than the fact that all of us who knew Mark, loved him…& we greatly miss him & continue to pray for his beloved Betty Montanes & son Marco …I miss counting on him to laugh at all my jokes and add to them one of his own…I miss his prayers for me which always brought me to tears, when I called to pray for him! Knowing he was in a violent struggle to live each day…I miss his partnership with me in ministering to people, as he always wanted to know and pray for others in crisis with me…Mark gave me a vest with Looney Tunes characters on it, for me to remember him by when I minister to children…and not long ago I was called to minister to a little girl with a broken heart who tried to take her life…and before I walked into the home, I told Mark, “You and me buddy…We’re going to do this one together…We’re going to see this little girl’s broken heart and broken mind healed…” and with God’s wisdom and love, we did…and her great big heart and beautiful mind were healed in no time at all.

In all my years of ministry, I have never seen anyone fight for so long, so far beyond what their body is normally capable of against cancer…I could always feel his struggle on those days in my spirit/heart, and would call him to pray for him or in one incidence take him to the ER as I knew in my spirit he needed a blood infusion…and I was right, and God gave him more days to be with us…and more days to see some of his personal/family goals he wanted accomplished before he left.

I never will forget one morning when I came to get him and take him to chemo, that when I walked in the door he cried out, “Bill…Bill…is that really you?? I know it sounds weird but come over here, so I can touch you…” I did, and he told me to sit down because he needed to tell me something…He told me how he had a bad night and that this morning he heard a knock at the door, and when he went to the door there was two men in white robes and three white horses…One man was on his horse waiting, while the other man was at the door talking…and the man looked at Mark and said, “C’mon…let’s go…Let’s go home!” Instantly Mark knew these men were there to take him home to heaven…but he wasn’t ready to let go yet, so he told them to go on without him and that he would go later, but not now as he had things to do yet…things to finish…and with that the man mounted his horse and was gone…and then there was another knock on his door, and it was me! I sat there in awe and knew I was there to help Mark finish…to finish his hearts desires, his goals…and I, along with Betty, Marco and many others did.

The day Mark left us and crossed over, he was staying at the Claire House, a very beautiful and gracious place of care for those that are dying…a hospice home…One of the things I knew was that Mark for a couple of months had not seen his beloved Rocket, his beloved furry four footed family member.

So I told Betty, I felt like I needed to get Rocket and bring him to Mark..so they could love on each other one more time, and say goodbye, for now.

Mark was of course at his weakest and emaciated from.the chemo…Just a skeleton of who he was physically…Betty and Mark agreed, and I went to get him…When I picked him up, I told him that I was taking him to see Mark and Rocket got nervously excited…I carried Rocket into the building, and could barely hold him the moment he smelled his master! After preparing Mark for Rockets excitement by putting a blanket on him so he wouldn’t accidentally in his excitement tear Marks skin with his paws, Mark weakly called Rocket as I held him in the foyer…Immediately Rocket sprang to life as his ears instantly perked up and he leaped out of my arms and ran into Marks room! At 1st Rocket nervously looked at Mark, not recognizing him, as Mark was a skeleton of his physical form that Rocket had always known…I pulled up a chair next to Mark and held Rocket towards Mark to smell him…and then it registered…This is his beloved Master, and what we were afraid of never happened…as Rocket was slow and gentle with Mark…and happily but compassionately licked Mark and then nestled in his lap…Now both Mark and Rocket were happy…It had been a long time since I had seen Mark smile such a genuine happy smile from ear to ear.

When I performed Mark’s life celebration service, we all told many stories and laughed and cried together…as we began to heal, just as Mark was enjoying perfect health and youth on the other side…waiting for us…ready to call to us when we come to that door, to exit life ourselves…I told this story at Marks service, and couldn’t help but compare it to how Jesus is on the other side, and how one day we too, just like Rocket, will excitedly and nervously run through that door to see our master, our Lord & Savior Jesus…when He calls our name.

Just like with Rocket & Mark…our relationship with Jesus is one of love, fellowship and family…and thank God, because of Jesus, that love, fellowship and family is eternal…Amen…as one day, we will be able to pick up where we left off in this life with those we love…Amen…A great day…A great reunion to look forward to..Amen!

Shalom!

Jesus is Lord!

Consistency

Nothing as sad as seeing a person who calls themselves a Christian, not rejoice over the salvation of another sinner coming to Christ.

I intentionally focus on and lead others to saving faith in Christ because Jesus is real, Heaven is real, our sins and salvation through faith in Jesus is real, and Hell is real, and I wouldn't want even my enemies to go to Hell.

When I started in ministry, I had what I thought was an aggressive goal of leading 1 person per day to Christ. God exceeded that goal. The next year I had the goal of leading 5 people every day to Christ. Once again, God exceeded that. Then it was 20 per day (which greatly exceeds the results of any mega-church in Oklahoma). Then I realized that the best thing I could do is take the limits off God. Since that, I've had hundreds in one day, then thousands some days, 20 another day. But I learned to believe God for daily opportunities, and they manifest through hospital visits, crisis counseling calls and meetings, online messages, texts, and my testimonies shared in the U.S.A., and other nations that have an 87% English speaking and reading population.

36 years of consistently doing the same thing's every day, produces a lot of results and testimonies.

It all begins with making a choice, a daily goal, being prepared, then doing it! Real praise and worship to God is seeking and saving the lost.

If you don't know how to seek and save the lost, then call me and I'll teach you how.

Shalom!

Jesus Christ is Lord of ALL!

The key is consistency. Acknowledging your life has a daily purpose. Jesus, if you believe in Him as your Savior, has given every believer, Christian, a commission. The Great Commission given us by Jesus is to go into all the world (everywhere), and share, preach, teach, the gospel.

No matter what, be grateful, be thankful, knowing God is with you, loves you, and nothing can take you out of His hands.

Bill Lowder Ministries Statement of Faith:

The Lord Jesus Christ
I believe in the deity of Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God. I believe in His substitutionary death for all men, His resurrection, and His eventual return to judge the world.

Salvation
I believe all men are born with a sinful nature and that the work of the Cross was to redeem man from the power of sin. I believe that this salvation is available to all who will receive it, as Jesus told us in John 3:16, and shown in the Bible in Romans 10:9-11.

The Holy Spirit
I believe in the existence of the Holy Spirit as the third person of the Trinity and in His interaction with man. I believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit as manifested by the fruit and the gifts of the Spirit.

The Sacred Scripture
I believe in the scripture as the inspired Word of God and that it is the complete revelation of God's will for mankind. I believe in the absolute authority of the scripture to govern the affairs of men, and that it is how God renews our mind to the mind of Christ and transforms the life of every believer, as in Romans 12:1-2.

Stewardship
I believe that every man is the steward of his life and resources which ultimately belong to God. I believe that tithing to a fruitful ministry from a willing heart is a measure of obedience to the scriptural principles of stewardship, and the way a person personally participates in the preaching of the gospel in their community and the world.

The Church
I believe in the Church as the eternal and universal Body of Christ consisting of all those who have accepted the work of the atonement. I believe in the need for a local assembly of believers as in the book of Acts for the purpose of evangelism and edification.

Prayer and Praise
I believe in the worship of the Lord through singing, clapping, and the lifting of hands. I believe in the authority of the believer to ask freely of the Lord for his needs.

Body Ministry
I believe in the ministry of the Holy Spirit to the Church body through the anointing of oil by the elders of the church as in Mark 16:18b, and James 5:14-16.

Evangelism
I believe that evangelism is the obligation of every follower of Jesus Christ. The Lord commands us in Matthew 28th chapter to go out and make disciples of all the earth. I believe that each person is first responsible to evangelism in their own family as the Holy Spirit leads them daily and gives them the ability.

Water Baptism
I believe in the ordinance of water baptism by immersion in obedience to the Word of God. All those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior should be baptized in water as a public profession of their faith in Christ and to experience what the Bible calls the "circumcision of the Spirit."

Our Commitment to Israel
I believe in the promise of Genesis 12:3 regarding the Jewish people and the nation of Israel. I believe that this is an eternal covenant between God and the seed of Abraham to which God is faithful.

The Priesthood of the Believer
I believe that every believer has a unique relationship to the Lord. As His children, every Christian has immediate access to the throne of Grace and the ability to manifest the power of the Lord Jesus Christ in ministry to save, heal, deliver, and restore, everywhere the soles of our feet tread.
