Good morning everyone, it is good to see everyone back as we gather in the assembly of the Lord Jesus Christ, Let us worship the Lord, We love you Jesus and we all Love you Father and we all love you Holy Spirit our congregation is a world wide Church and it is probably the fewer ones that are getting out there into the 10/40 window, I praise the Lord for all the gifts the Lord has given me, and us I was able to get in touch with the right people to get the officers and directors so we can go corporate.  I am so glad that this little church office in the middle of the pacific can get our orders from Jesus to go all to the world, we should not have any problems, I know God doesn’t want his churches or the congregations to be so large that we can’t communicate with the people one on one, we have been doing well so far soon I will be able to communicate to everyone and then we can start passing off our prayer letters and sermons to others into the 10/40 window and to be able to communicate to all of you, this one was going to be my last sermon and I was going to end The Church Ministries, but I can’t do that,  because I got a letter from my dad telling me to get out there and work, he does know anything about me, he still thinks I am cooking somewhere it has been about a good 7-8 years, so he missed school and graduation and everything, not believe how sick I really am and so many things in my brain that could hemorrhage, plus I put over a 100 hours a week on this church I have never in my life have come across so many people that just don’t care, I can understand there whole reasoning , he doesn’t want to get his situation that he worked out and forget about his only son blood wise me, I have a half brother and all his love is poured out to him and his family if any other man read that email he sent today they would have jumped of the nearest bridge, I just took out the history behind the whole family matter and to tell you between the tears and the pain when I get upset the pain becomes even more intense. My own father or should I say dad, does not have even a clue what is going on, he has no idea how critical I am, and how God is keeping me alive, probably to keep this church in order and the visions He has given me, so we can get to the people that really need to hear the Good News most of my family doesn’t even know Jesus Christ, one of my Uncles does, so I can expect anything to be written or not written.  All that means the rest of the family does not care and that means the information my mother is telling them is either not getting through or they just have arrived at there own conclusion, that is why the family went the way it did in the first place, that is why I had to take it out of print it was not a good thing to write for a Sunday sermon.  That is why I never got married and became a priest and now an ex- priest, now I am just a minister or a messenger for the Lord. I still am a Chaplain too, and now I am working on The Church Ministries. This was going to be my last sermon, but when my dad wrote me an email I knew that was the biggest broken heart I could ever have gotten, so I figured how God felt if I took 2 years work and just stopped, which I can’t do that, not to God or my Jesus, because if now I have to crawl to the computer I will do the Sunday sermons, and continue on writing the prayer letters to all the people that need more help than I or less or the same, the prayer letters will continue, God knows where my heart is and He loves what I am doing and I know I am a sinner and I don’t deserve to be treated so well, I know the spiritual abuse will in the end run get me stronger, and God is in control, I don’t understand the suffering everyday that every morning the pain is so bad I am in tears for at least a good year and now my feet are really bothering me and I can’t understand why God would permit Satan to continue to wage war on my body, this is gone beyond the book of Job, but I have to trust God and Christ because one day I could wake up totally healed it is not up to me it is up to Them.
Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him;
      I will surely defend my ways to his face.
  Indeed, this will turn out for my deliverance,
      for no godless man would dare come before him!
  Listen carefully to my words;
      let your ears take in what I say.
  Now that I have prepared my case,
      I know I will be vindicated.
  Can anyone bring charges against me?
      If so, I will be silent and die.
  "Only grant me these two things, O God,
      and then I will not hide from you:
  Withdraw your hand far from me,
      and stop frightening me with your terrors.
  Then summon me and I will answer,
      or let me speak, and you reply.
  How many wrongs and sins have I committed?
      Show me my offense and my sin.
  Why do you hide your face
      and consider me your enemy?
  Will you torment a windblown leaf?
      Will you chase after dry chaff?
  For you write down bitter things against me
      and make me inherit the sins of my youth.
  You fasten my feet in shackles;
      you keep close watch on all my paths
      by putting marks on the soles of my feet.
  "So man wastes away like something rotten,
      like a garment eaten by moths. Job 13:15-28 NIV

I have gone through so much and I am in praise to still be alive, at any time those things in my brain can hemorrhage and that will be it, in the arms of Jesus. I hope none of us are for certain even pastors don’t have a ticket to heaven, it has to be earned and we must follow obedience, and have a true relationship with both God and Jesus, I have always tried to be a respectable man, and I don’ t know where to go from here. I have begged God for one day of peace and I have been on my knees and I have all little areas to pray and they are setup so at anytime I can sit or kneel and pray. The Love of the Father and the Son and the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit, are deep with in my heart and no one can take them away. I just feel with all these tests and trials that have been happening to me in the past 6 months are getting to just get out of hand, I don’t have one human being that I can take and hold and cry on there shoulder, it has been a long road. But I have been chosen to help others and to be a beacon of light just like Jesus, everything is going to come out in the wash and all this darkness will all come to the light, and I will be the one standing, because I am not going to let Satan and any of his agents get to me, I will endure to the end, and I will stay a repentant man, and My love for others is not going to change. The games that people are playing now will eventually all come to light. And my Father will take care of everything. I have to trust everyone to a point, but I can not give up totally on the world there is goodness in everyone. The Church Ministries with go on, even after I die. And I hope all the board members keep this format well after I am gone. The real missionaries are the ones that live there and I have so many Friends but I did show them my system of letting the neighbors get right into the areas where there isn’t any scripture or any of the Good News, there is still 3,000 languages that we have to break this situation, we here have so many bible translations and most of them don’t agree, I used to carrying about 5 bibles at all times the teachers editions with all the notes on each scripture to better explain each verse to everyone I would come across, but now my strength will not let me carry so many, so that is where all my friends come in I am just starting to write on the prayer letters: if you can hand them to others and being that they are right there in all these different countries, it would be a lot easier to translate, because they grew up just so close, and even as children they probably learned to communicate. And they probably all played together.
Dear heavenly Father, you have been the most we enjoy and we want to praise You and worship You, it is not that we have to, we want to, You have done so much for all of us and all the many to do is say that we love You and God we are going to need more strength to fight off these evil people and tilt has gotten worse, that the field in Matt. 13 You are right and Jesus predicted it would go down hill, and if you are surrounded by evil and you naturally become like they are,  let us all take time out to pray for all the Christians that have been moved or even swayed a bit because they are just in the world so my Lord please forgive all these people, they all have been  hurt and some of them hurt me but there are a few that have helped me at the most crucial times. I am Loving the way The Church Ministries has been the Lord Jesus because even if we don’t see Him ,He is there deep with in our hearts and You Father have been so full of Grace with us and the Church, I do want to say even though I have gone through so many trials I still can stand, and I just want to say I am not giving up. I am a Christian messenger and I do not want to be a fairer and I love if they hate me or dislike me, it doesn’t matter we are all God’s children and that is the way this Church looks at everyone, we care and we wish we could do more. There is an old saying when we bring people to Christ before we can bring anyone to Christ the understanding must be supernaturally enlightened , the heart must be supernaturally changed, the stubborn will be supernaturally broken. The Cross is the badge of Christian discipleship, not just the one that most people where about the body, we have to look at the principle of self-denial and self sacrifice ruling heart. It is plain and simple we at The Church Ministries are out there trying to work with all kinds of nationalities and all kinds of religions. But we are out to make disciples of all people and that too is supernatural, We are an assembly of people that love one another, and even that makes people think the divine work of Grace working in the human heart so make a change from a good man to man of Love who can share in the worship of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen
Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared. Prov. 3:25-26 NIV
You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Isa. 26:3 NIV
No matter what happeneds to us or what ever we are going through, we can’t avoid all the evil that is lurking in the corners, but when we have God we can know perfect peace even in turmoil. You see God’s love does not Change and He has so much power, we all have to plant that in our minds, there is no room for fear, when God is with us, we will not be shaken by the immediate chaos. Do you need peace that is all I pray for we have to keep out thoughts on our God and trust Him to be always there.
Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble; when you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Prov. 3:23-24
You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound. I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:7-8
You have to understand that inward joy lasts forever and happiness is only for a short time. The inward Joy is comes from knowing and having a relationship with God, plus you must trust God, and like I said happiness can cover things up but that inward joy of really knowing God is everlasting.
' "The LORD bless you and keep you;  the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you;  the LORD turn his face toward you
and give you peace." '(Numbers 6:24-26)

This is the model of the blessing is a way that God’s blessing will be upon them and it breaks it down into 5 different parts. The first would be to bless and keep them in other words He would give them favor and protection, the second would be to make God’s face shine upon you, in other words to be pleased with that person, the third would be to be gracious, and in all thing Grace is wonderful it leads into being merciful and compassionate. The forth would be that He turns His face to you or them, in other words God is giving His approval. And our Last the one I have been seeking is peace just to have peace of mind and to relax, when you ask God to bless you or others you are basically asking Him to do these five things, the blessing of others is probably the most you can do for the one receiving it, of course the word love is always in there, encouragement, and it is like a model or a focus just for caring for others.
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33
We as Christians face a lot of different let downs and different hurts but you see when we are in tune with Christ we have an peace that can not be described. We know Him through His gospel and the people themselves, when we are surrounded around a bunch of Christians that all love the Lord there is a feeling that everyone experiences a warm of God. We also feel that peace and comfort from others, and Jesus is also trying to explain that His disciples must take courage , no matter what we are going to face or what obstacles that may lay before us. We are never going to be alone, Jesus never will leave us and that is fact, He will never let us fight a battle that we can’t win, He is always going to be there for us. We have to understand the victory has already been one at the cross, so even in the most terrible time we just plead the blood of Christ that He shed for us all.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid "You heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. I have told you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe. (John 14:27-29)
The thing is what Jesus is trying to tell us is the work of the Holy Spirit is the most deepest lasting peace, I mean it is heavy, this not like the worlds peace which is usually a period of time where there is any troubles or burdens or arguments or disagreements. with Christ’s peace it is pure confidence and assurance through any type situation, when you have Christ’s peace we don’t have to fear nothing at any time period now and forever, that is a gift that out weighs any other gift in my book. The Holy Spirit can wade through all the stress in your life plus sin fear, insecurity and doubt, and the other entire negative forces that are against us. That peace of God is like no other it can cure any trial or temptation or anything that seems like any heavy burden on your heart. Some people like me have to live with pain and live in the unknown most of their lives. There is nothing like when you just relax and call the Holy Spirit and He will come into you and relieve all the strain that could ever be bothering you.
"All this I have told you so that you will not go astray. They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. I have told you this, so that when the time comes you will remember that I warned you. I did not tell you this at first because I was with you. John 16:1-4
In the last moments before Jesus was going to be taken away, He wanted His disciples to be set in there thinking, even though He had to Go but the thing is that He didn’t want them to feel alone or powerless, He had to tell them about further and future persecution and He had to give them a heads up on all of what is going to happen, Jesus knew what was going to happen next but they didn’t and He worked with His disciples for so long and He didn’t want them to loose what they already had learned and all the faith the built up while they were with Jesus, so He told them and really sat them down and mad it a point that they are not going to be alone the Hoy Sprit is going to be with them. He had to tell them why and when He was going, they began to understand He was beginning to talk very plainly to them and it comforted them that they new He was speaking clearly. He wanted hem to know that they would not be shaken, the thing is you may be having a tuff time but with God there is nothing to fear or to even worry, look back and you will see that the Lord is right there and has been every time, so How on earth can anyone can have a feeling of more pain when you are already suffering, we know the devil tries to work on you and he tries to destroy your faith, but God is always in control and no matter what happeneds the Lord is going to be there and He will never leave you alone, people hurt you and they leave you alone, the thing is if you get hurt by enough people continuously like maybe a bad childhood it makes it just a bit harder for any man to realize that God is Spirit and He is not a “person” that will let you down, He does not treat you like some of the earthly fathers He is your Father and He will guide you to the top of the mountain and if He has to He will pull you out of the caves and valleys and put you up on a clearing where there will be grass and a gentle stream and you will be at peace.
But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned. (John 16:7-11)
You al have to put this in to perspective if Jesus did not do what He came to do there would not be and Good News or the Gospel itself, and there is one point that we have to place in our minds whether you are under attack or severe pain or you are so confused and the evil one is slamming you like a basketball, as Jesus would say and I know He is mad at me because I should have perfect trust in Him, and if you don’t have perfect trust in Him you are a sinner, I have no excuse when all these things hit me I just fall apart and I don’t want Him to not like me because I am so confused I want to have my relationship with Him like it was, and I am so lost, I have people just messing with my mind and it just does not stop, He came here and did so much for us why on this planet that I could ever think in my mind that He would let me down. You see if He did not die He would not be able to remove all of our sins, He could not rise again and defeat death, He only had to do it once. Now if He didn’t go back to the Father He could not send the Holy Spirit, so what on earth has anyone to be afraid of we have Jesus in our heart and He is sitting also with the Father, when He was on earth He could only be at one place at a time, now He is in each believers heart and no one can take that away from a believer. Plus now we have the Holy Spirit in us also and He is actually convicting the world of all of its sins and He is calling each one of us to repentance, plus He is showing God’s righteousness to anyone who believes, because Christ can’t be here on this planet, His place is with the Father, and He is throwing judgment over Satan and all he is doing to people, Satan is afraid of Jesus, he can’t even hear His name. We all have to understand that Christ death on the cross made and did so many changes, he made all evil a public spectacle in front of everyone, He proved in what He said was truth and that the Father kept His promises, and that He opened the doors so we could have a relationship with the Father the Vail was torn in between the inner room going into the holy of holies, that right there shows the power Christ has. Now why don’t we all praise the name of Jesus Christ!! Se now even God has to erase our sins and he declares us His children without judgment to our sins, no we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. (Eph. 2:14-18)
Christ did so much more than we realize, He broke down walls that existed for so long between two different people the Jews and the Gentiles, the Jews were educated men because the had the Old Testament to study and the Gentiles had really nothing they had a few that obtained the old scriptures like Cornelius and what Christ did was build real unity together between all men, this was the ultimate reconciliation. In other words He made people all group together as one heart that loved Jesus, and He bridged the gap between the availability to talk to the Father which was never done before Jesus’ death on the cross, which means all hostility is gone because one man who was also God said well lets do it, it was hard for Him even in the garden he was sweating blood for us, Jesus was scared and He new the pain and the humility He had to face, did you ever have anyone spit in your face when you are surrounded around all your friends, how did you feel, this all happened to Jesus, and these people He helped and healed and they were all in the crowds saying kill Him, just imagine how you would feel, like you whole neighborhood after you have been great neighbors for so long sharing this and that and showing love for one another, then all of a sudden all your neighbors turned on you yelling crucify Him, How would you feel, you people just don’t get what Christ has really done, the whippings and they were no simple whippings his flesh was being stripped right off his body on both sides, then they made him carry the cross through the town where some people wept and some people were glad, and some were full of sorrow, but how would you feel? Things were no picnic then the nails and hanging there on that cross, and could not even breath, just imagine you going through it, just imagine someone driving a big nail into your hands, and then your feet, and then your hole body weight is on there held by nails. That my friend is pain, You probably would have already passed out or fainted, Look what He has done for us and we were the bad guys, we were the ones not even worth saving, and He did it anyway. Jesus I think deserves a bit more then what we give Him, a few minutes a day; we should be talking and thanking Him all day long. He broke all kinds of barriers no matter what color or age, or intelligence, being poor or rich it just didn’t matter He brought the whole world together and we should all love Him and thank Him for what He has done for all of us. Christ made one person out of everyone Greek, Jew, or Gentile or Samaritan, people from Parthia, Media, Elam, Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Potus, Asia, Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, Libya near Cyrene, Rome, Crete,and Arabia. So you see what Jesus has done for all these people, they were all saved in one day together. The Cross should be the focus of all our unity; the biggest thing was to bring the Jew and Gentile together. Jesus also died to abolish all of the Jewish laws. You can’t be saved just because you do good deeds all your life, or you teach a knowledge to all people, or you just were a sincere person, none of that makes any difference the gathering of believers that believe in our Lord Jesus will be saved, but there are many other stipulations, there is many other things like a relationship, I want Jesus to know me, I want him to know me so well where I don’t want that door to get shut on me because He doesn’t know me and feels I may be an evildoer. And all this time we are brought together with all kinds of people and all kinds of cultures and different ways they believe and different types of all made into our unity, which is the body of Christ
