John 15:12
12
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 17These things I command you, that ye love one another.Greetings Saints in His Perfect Peace,
Tonight just a little down wondering why I go on. You know the ministry we are in is a constant battle. To many I could gain support from we are set apart. A ex hardcore biker with strange religious Idea's. At least that is how so many look at us. Not like some of the Biker groups that are mainstream Christian that got saved but still ride their bikes and look like Bikers. No I am not downing them at all as many of these groups do much charity work. They set up aid stations at Biker events for first aid and prayers. Yes if I were mainstream Christian like these groups we could get much more support. But we are not. We are grafted into the early Church and must be called out of pagan things. We read use our King James Bibles and are put down for not using an easy reading version. Well what can I say, one of the "girls" in her forties has a learning disability but yet she is using the KJV Bible to learn to read and right...go figure....
I look much like I did when I was in the Biker world, a lot more cleaned up but t-shirts jeans, boots etc. All are clothing functional to the lifestyle. But I have had Christian attack me over the way I look...the most recent said " Stop trying to appeal to hippies" ..Do not know what his problem is I am doing the Lord's work, not going to church for one hour a week claiming to be a model Christian..but really doing his work.
Like now I am in pain tonight dealing with my lower disk problems, ripped torn and prolapsed disks, degenitive disk disease, and about the same in my neck but with bone spurs. Burning pain from arthritis, hand cramps etc. But people look at me and say " well you look okay" say jump inside my body for minute. Not to mention the fact I am diabetic ' more than likely from a bad younger lifestyle" . Being diabetic is no fun, your blood sugar can jump one way or another in a moment, deal with that while you are trying to right or talk not easy. I had my blood sugar drop to about 60 something last week just before radio, great, I had a hard time as it take 30 minutes to adjust my sugar to a better level. I bet Michael , Dumtru's Duduman's grandson thought something was up....so why kill myself? Why go on? Why go through endless hours on the computer searching for news to send around the world in mail out newsletters and on the net for no pay or reward? Why drive 120 miles round trip twice a week to Wichita to help the poor? Walk out in the extreme cold and the extreme heat to care for people have already wrote off as losers or throw away people. Why the constant search for funds for a ministry that has no bottom? Why work in such a cramped space in Wichita, feeding out of a small room that used to be an office but is not even as big as that? Then Sabbath comes which I love and we go on till late into the night driving home 60 miles tired but very fulfilled... Why, why, why...Just why kill myself worrying about who will be on our next radio program and who will fund it? Why worry about warning the world? I am not interested in fame or money only to quietly raise my children and grandchildren, to see them happy and safe.
1 Corinthians 1:27
27
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; It's for many reason's I go on. The Love of God in me I just can do nothing else. The Holy Spirit in me urges me to go on giving me strength, direction, and orders from the Lord. In my weakness He is very strong. I know my Lord he loves everyone and he wishes none to suffer, I am doing what he clearly put on my heart to do.
Then I think about the poor in heart at the mission. Like the one who got up during watching the Passion of the Christ, went outside crying, I held him and told him the Lord knew he was a sinner and he was worthy through repentance, that He died on that cross for him. I hugged him with the Love of Messiah. A man most preachers would not even talk to, then underbridge Barry came in on the last of the program telling me he was dead in 6 months, colon cancer had been let too long go. I loved him and He wanted to see the Passion, but it was over and we were cleaning up. Mom overheard and said run it anyway...Yes pray for Barry. These are just normal stories I face everyday I am there. Yes this is why I do as I do because this is what Messiah did and still does through people willing to care to let the inside man, the Holy Spirit come out and do His work. He extends on not to just homeless and poor but the love and peace of our lord to everyone, do you not get it, that's what the Word Shalom Means, In his Perfect Peace about everything under His wings shall I abide..under the shadow of the Almighty.. Sharing His love with all, yes I am okay and not down anymore. By Faith I know I am doing what HE wishes and by Faith HE will provide all the needs and if he gives me a speaker this week fine if not HE will give me the program as it is HIS and not mine. Barry, please pray for him in this his hour of need. Pray for all the people nights are getting cold. Many have no winter clothing, blankets, socks etc, the list goes on but one thing they can count on just go ask them, Pastor Dan and family is there to give all who need it the Lord's love and that we have an abundance of...do you?
