The Jewish People

It is my prayer that Gods people the Jews would come to the saving grace of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Bro. Fain Jordan--

Bro.Fain Jordan went on to heaven. I know that by meeting him for the first time in 2004 at camp meeting, I am a better man. He was to me the greatest Evangelist in this country. He had such compassion when he preaches and just talking to him you could feel his love for sinners. First time I heard him was on a choir tape and he spoke of his aunt Lula, and when he said,"I just stopped by, on my way home." It gets me filled knowing that heaven is a home for us Christians. Man I miss him so much just sitting here typing these blog. I didn't spend enough time with him, but yet he blazed a trail for God. I remember here in Odem we stayed up late just talking about the Lord. I missed seeing him in Jennings but I can honestly say I am glad I was not there, I would be a mess right now, more than I am now. I mean he was real, he is real. What compassion, what love for sinners, I remember in one message he mentioned about preaching in a prison and every time he was there there was one man that would come and just sit and listen, he said one night he came to him and asked Bro. Jordan that when he talked to God, would you ask Him to talk to me. That just broke his heart that Bro. Fain just prayed that God would touch his body, he said he went outside and just prayed to God at his car. That following visit he came and that man said Bro. Jordan He did it, he spoke to me, and I accepted Him as Lord. Years later Bro. Jordan got a call and it was Him and after he got out he joined an old fashioned baptist church and got baptized and served God and even joined the Choir,,,, Praise God.....I can go on and on with illustrations of his messages. I have only a few but I listen to the message, and oh what a message.
Dear Lord bless his family......I know you will Lord,,

Its been awhile

Well I have been so busy since we moved back to Texas that I haven't had time to post, also due to I haven't got Internet access, though our town has a library And I come here often to check mail. I have been twittering via text by phone but i don't have my alerts pop up from followers because it is to much texts, so as a phantom I drop a few twitters now and then. I lie I do have Johnny Popes active, only because I love his quotes from past preachers. He is a very smart man of God. I have been active with my new Pastor here in Odem, and I love his compassion. We went soul winning for 5 hours Saturday and it was awesome, tiring but yet gratifying. We also had a man join our church yesterday also, Pray for him his name is Joe, Italian last name so I don't know it yet, Look forward to go soul winning with Pastor at the Shoreline in Corpus Christi also. we stayed out till 11p.m. one night last week and it was great to see people responsive to the Gospel. Last night I gave Adam and his wife our testimony, ''me and wife" and he looked at us and said then there is hope for those I work for because he thought they are to far into sin but after hearing our story he wondered how God saved us, it was funny, but yet true. I just thank God that he did save me and my family. Pray for my son as well he is battling the flu, he is better today, but Sat. night my daughter thought it would be cool for John John to give her a piggy back, well piggy was to heavy and hurt his back. Well thats all I got for now, hopefully I will update later.

Happy Birthday

Today is Melinda's Birthday, Sept. 4th, I hope as you read this post that you have had a wonderful day so far. I am so happy for you and proud to be your husband. You are a wonderful wife and caring mother,"I wish you were my mommy" Joking! hello.. I love you Melinda and don't worry God has and will continue take care of us. It almost seems like when we first moved to Louisiana, It was scary, knowing we didn't have a home and yet God provided all our necessities, and He will again.He will find us a home, and jobs. It is just great to be in Gods perfect will. I do thank you for trusting me all these years and following me. I know that when God called me to preach that you would have to sacrifice much, and sacrifice you did. And I believe you are a better woman for that. Since being in the ministry we have had much headache and many trials, but yet it has been worth it all. I thank God that we still have some good Friends here in Louisiana, Hard to forget Mike and Tiffany and those kids, and who can forget Bro. Ronald and Brenda, Who would have thought that for a short while I would Pastor Cajuns, and then still have lasting Friends, and then those here in Jennings, oh what memories. But yet as we get ready to travel back to Texas I am grateful for you. I love you Melinda, and don't you forget that.... and as you would say,,,Thank you Jesus!!!!

Texas

Havent posted in a while because of busy schedule, but one news I can give is that, we are moving back to Texas, more later.

I have been Justified, Justifeid in the sight of God,

Justified by the blood of Jesus, Hey I am saved by the blood of Jesus. I am not saved but what I did, I am a sinner, a forerunner of the 1st Adam. I am saved today because of what Jesus did for me, He took my place, I trusted in my redeemer, I was convicted , convinced of my sinful state. I could do nothing to save my self. What the law could not do, Jesus did for me. Jesus saved me. Jesus is my savior.
I can still sing, " And its still the blood, that saves from sin, its still the blood that cleanses from within."
Paul said," By the obedience of one shall many be made righteous."
By the obedience of one, I thank God that Jesus was obedient unto the Father. At 12 years old He told Mary and Joseph, " Wist you not know that I must be about my Fathers business."
Amazing Grace, how sweet that sound. Hey how sweet does that sound to you,
That were sin abounds, Grace much more abounds, Hey no matter how great or greater the sin is the more Gods grace abounds.

Don't worry this was all free,,,,, won't cost you a dime!!!!

I am stuck on a lesson for Sunday School, I have a few thoughts but don't have the liberty yet, I also have some prepared outlines but yet I have not the liberty yet. The thought is there though.
As for the last post, here is another part to add:
We as Christians claim to know what to do but yet we are not doing what we are suppose to. I mean think about it. We have access to the Holy of Hollies but yet how often to we take advantage of it. In one of Jesus's examples he was in that secret place constantly, Praying to the Father. Pleading to the Father, and the Father supplying the need. God told Paul once, that His Grace is Sufficient for the. And yet we don't believe it,just by the way we act under hard situations,
more to come later:

Give me liberty or give me death, you know with as much as liberty that has been given, the death rate has gone up: Seems like the more liberated we get,The more we are killing ourselves. Even though we have all the resources we need (THE BIBLE) we would learn from those written about.

note: more to come

Better Pics

I Did It Again

Today I bought me my first General Motors Truck, a 1994 GMC 1500 Sierra Extended Cab. I paid $2100.00. My wife and I knew that since Diana's school and work schedule were going to conflict we would have some problems. As she gets closer to finishing, she has alot of classes. So with that I would either find her a cheap car or a truck for me and she would use my Pathfinder. After much prayer the Lord gave us the liberty to buy this truck. For the year that it is, it is so clean. No tares on the seats or wear. and the paint job is great. a 89 year old man gave it up and wanted a small car. Here are some night pics, but I will put newer pics later. My wife asked me what am I going to name my truck and after much thought I said it will be called Chevy.

I had a geat Fathers Day

My day was great yesterday, and even Saturday was great. Saturday after work my wife and children took me to the Olive Garden, and boy was that great. I ordered the Tour of Italy, what a meal. The soup and bread sticks was awesome also. Then they took me to Lowe's and bought me a Dewalt Drill I have been wanting, 18 volts of sheer power baby. That brings my collection of Dewalt drills to 3 drills and 1 18volt sawzall, and as my friend in Texas; Juan would say, '' Yes it is a collection." But I do thank my wife for the gifts. I also got a Dewalt suit case with over 100 different bits. I also got a travel pack of my favorite cologne. Polo Blue, after shave lotion, deodorant, 2 bottles of cologne, in a zipper travel bag. I love Polo Blue. I remember in Texas I was preaching in a prison and a former Mexican mafia prisoner asked me what I was wearing that smelled good and I told him what it was and he response was." Its the Machine". Well anyways I had a great weekend thanks to my family, I love you guys.

Love Dad

Just Existing!

I may believe that you are saved, and positionally you may know that you are saved, but you are just existing.
I have studied my Bible and knowing that Gods word is true, He does not want you to just exist knowing that you are saved. He wants you to do good for Him. To keep His commandments and to be a witness, 5 times He gave the commission. 5 in the bible is the number of Grace. Gods Grace through Jesus, salvation by grace through faith. What if I never took the commission and became a witness, what if I wasn't a soul winner. You would still be lost. What about the one one that led you to the Lord. what if they didn't take it serious to win you for Jesus. You would be lost.
Take this anyway you want to, but devices and excuses keep people on the path to Hell. Saying no to God keeps people on the way to Hell. Just being satisfied with being saved keeps people on the way to Hell.
I ask again. What if the one that lead you to the Lord didn't take it serious? You would still be lost and on your way to Hell.

Yesterday

Myself and my son went out yesterday for a little adventure, first we went and got raspas,(oh by the way probably why my stomach hurts today, it was to sweet) any ways afterwards I called our preacher and asked were John jr. could shoot his 22 rifle, and he told me about a gravel road about 5 miles out of town. So we went and found a bridge over a gully and a pocket of water and we shot at some targets and even took aim at some fish. I could tell they were big but couldn't see what it was, so today we are going back with the 22 and a fishing pole. As we were driving the length of the gravel road John jr. asks me if I could teach him to drive and I was like okay. We switched places and for about 4 miles of that gravel road he drove the jeep as though he has been driving for awhile. I mean he was doing good, even when up coming cars were coming and going over a narrow bridge, I mean it wasn't the best but he did good. I told him we would come out here and practice some more.

Whats more important?

That is the question I find my self asking lately. What is more important? Jesus asked the rich young ruler that of all his doings and sacrifices he was missing one thing. And that was that he put his possessions before the Lord. There is nothing wrong with possessions as long as they don't posses you. Jesus told him to sale his possessions but yet he would not and left with much sorrow. Sometimes I wonder about some things we do because of our American values but yet our Christian Principles are not put first. As an example we are told not to put gas in certain companies such as Chevron and other Arab companies. And they are so vigilant about it but yet will go to movie houses, Casinos and other worldly amusements. The one thing I here is, I don't watch dirty movies, or go make bets, I just eat there. But yet what about Abstaining from all appearances of evil. If it represents Evil then a true Christian will leave it alone. I ask what is more important. I am a proud American, and love my country, and I hold true to American Values, But as far as being a Christian my Testimony is far more important, for this land is not my land, I am an Ambassador of a far away country. A far better country were my Lord Jesus is. This may not be a popular subject and I might be ridiculed for it, but it doesn't change truth. I would rather you hate me for saying truth than you loving me because of compromise. I know what is important. And I am aware that one day I will stand before the Lord to be judged for the good and the bad. The least bad the best. I ask you again, What is more important?

There will be no wind

With all these new windmills going up, and they are big and there are many. but yet God in his word said that he will hold back the winds.

Now during hot days we look forward to some fresh breeze. But yet one day during the tribulation it will cease, amongst other things.

This was just a thought.
