Who Am I?

Some of you have asked me what makes me qualified to be a Licensed Clinical Pastoral Counselor. How did I get chosen to do the work of Christ? And, what makes me special in doing it? And, just what have I suffered for Christ? Well, now I will tell you (Though I am bragging as a man) I have been in Wars. I have seen what nobody should see. Men’s guts spewed out on the ground. And, worse! I have seen the Devil at his worst! I have been imprisoned for my Faith in Jesus many times trying to proclaim His Gospel. I have been persecuted, defamed, tortured and denied because I am a follower of Christ. I have suffered internal attacks of temptation from the evil ones. Sometimes I have failed. Sometimes I have overcome. Oh, yes! I have paid the price of admission to the Kingdom of God. I have been beaten and tortured, suffered homelessness and poverty all for my Lord Jesus. Who dares condemn me? It is only Christ who defends and saves me! So, I do have the right and commission to request from you to spread the Gospel of Jesus. If I ask for money, then what is that to you but you obligations? If I ask for support of any kind then who are you to deny Christ? OK, that is what I am about and where I am coming from. I’ve paid my dues, have you? So, when I call to the Church for assistance, then I expect it in His Name. If you want to dent me then you deny Christ also, for I am His Commissioned Minister. I have a specific calling to the poor. Take it or leave it, but you will answer Him on Judgment Day. Come to me all you who are weary and need rest and I will comfort you. Those were His words. But, what I see is suspicion among you! Where is your Faith? GIVE!

More about Homeless Project

I recently met a man named ISACC down at the Oceanside Pier. He is a true Christian and delivers his way of the Gospel by means of his 12 string guitar. He not only plays wonderful tunes, but he is always willing to stop and talk with anyone he meets there. I even saw him once stop playing a tune to prevent a child from getting too close to the Pier railing and possibly falling. Now that to me is a real man of God. Basically, why I am writing this is that Isaac confided in me that he need more support to reach the homeless in Oceanside. He knows where many homeless “bed down” around the area but he cannot help (Other than his music). So, I assured him that the Christian Community would reach out to anyone desiring help. He was elated. So, to make this short, I am asking for you Christians out there to make a sacrifice that pleases God by donating some cash for our “Homeless Outreach Project”. Just send it to me and I will assure you it will be well used. By the way, if you want to see and hear one of Isaac’s songs just go to UTUBE at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdNVAgeLLWw This guy is rated one of the 12 best 12 String guitar players in America! And, he is doing it all for Jesus! Please understand that I get noting from this ministry except to please Jesus. He called me to do it. And, I MUST obey. And, like Paul the Apostle I am asking you to show some love and support for the miserable souls her. We as a Church together end homelessness in our community with Spiritual Doctrine and Physical help within this year. Jesus assured me that IF His church gets together it will be done. So, I stand on His Promise! Now, all you have to do is join in the opportunity!

DO YOU NEED AN ANSWER? Matthew 19:26 (NAS)

I have found one of the great secrets to a successful life, and I want to share it with you. It never fails me whenever I speak it out loud. And, it answers all my problems and questions (And others’ I’m concerned for) ALWAYS! I found it from an author in one of my daily readings with my Bible Study. So, use it wisely! Jesus can’t lie. He has to do it if we believe. When or how He does it is not our business or choice. He WILL do it according to God’s good will and pleasure to give good things to His Children. I Pray that you will believe it! And, witness (Watch and see) Him fight for you in action. So, here it is: “I have learned that with Jesus I can succeed. He not only has the answers, but He IS the answer. He makes a way, but He’s also THE way. In my weak attempts to love and serve Him, He gives me both strength and motivation. Living for Jesus requires more than positive affirmations and good intentions. Jesus puts the initial “WANT TO” in my heart. Only when I rest in His power, His strength, and His character do I find the way to accomplish anything. With Him, all things really are possible.” (Rebecca Barlow Jordan “Mornings with Jesus” Jan 29, 2017, Vol. 3 NO 1) Oh! How I agree with her! The Supernatural Power Jesus flows out to people, places and things needed, IF you will just speak out this Truth always and often! Because of this Truth my own life (And those around me) has been blessed in large and small miracles! Try it and know!
