Mountain Moving 2019

Before I begin let us look at the Holy Scriptures;

It reads as follows

Mar 11:22  And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 

Mar 11:23  For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 

Mar 11:24  Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 

Let’s look at this and in doing so understand many think/believe its Gods  responsibility to do everything.

This, dear reader is farthest from the truth.

Your Responsibility	Gods Responsibility
·         Have faith in God. Mar 11:22	·         he shall have Mar 11:23
·         whosoever shall say Mar 11:23	·         and ye shall have them Mar 11:24
·         shall not doubt in his heart Mar 11:23
·         but shall believe Mar 11:23
·         he saith Mar 11:23
·         soever ye desire Mar 11:24
·         ye pray Mar 11:24
·         believe Mar 11:24

                                      

What me have faith? Indeed! As you read and hear Gods Word your faith grows little by little just like having a bank account.  God does not need faith, nor silver nor gold not even cattle. Why not? God has owned them since the beginning of Earths meger beginnings. So, lets look at this simple part you and me both need to move a mountain but how? We use our faith not His; look at it as a withdrawal from the bank. You need a little cash so you either use a teller(legally of course) or use an ATM machine. You don’t take all your money out of the bank just enough maybe to buy dinner at a nearby restaurant.

How do you know if you have faith in God? It’s called the test of time if you will. If you have been reading Gods Word you have faith.  I think the biggest test is what transpires between your house and the hospital in the back of an ambulance.  Whenever tradgy strikes it seems we end up in the ambulance. If you have ever been in a bicycle or automobile accident you know where I am coming from. There is zero time and place to pull out a Bible and start reading that’s because the workers have to do their work. So its time to layback and trust God to the fullest; This has happened to me several times and every time it was a life and death situation God took me through the ordeal. Even as recent as December 2018, while having what they referred to as a level two heart attack, God saw me through.

But what about Thunderdome Ministries Network Inc?

As stated once before, God will get this ministry through the rough waters though the faith of loyal believers that believes in the vision of the ministry.  However, and due to personal finances which God will be changing soon I trust one thing is certain.  What I have to share next will shock you but you need to hear the following;

Several brothers in the faith have suggested that the ministry ought to shutter its doors or perhaps be sold. Yours truly have given so much into the ministry since 1982 and little has returned on the physical side. Even when I tried to help a few homeless people not long ago, that were referred to me, I got burned big.

Will I still help homeless Christians in the future? Indeed, but under entirely different surroundings, like a campus on one hundred acres.

 

What can you do in 2019?

Ø  Be faithful

Ø  Be loyal

Ø  Be prayerful

Ø  Help move the mountain legally so we can help others in need. Help the homeless Christians.

Ø  Help buy and build a legally run campus, for those mentioned, on one hundred acres.

Ø  Volunteer: there are many areas of the ministry that need help form the talent inside Gods House. From a paper pusher to a website creator or even a person who handles customer service to perhaps evening being the next CEO of he ministry. 

 

Let us move that montain starting in 2019, yes?

Shall we set a monetary goal  for 2019?

What if we set a goal of say $150,000 for the entire year?

Some of which would cover monthly costs of course.

If, you believe in moving a mountain then lets move this mountain together. Let us put together a ministry, not made of fancy jets and cars but of souls that need Gods hand.

I.            Picture a campus of 4 bedroom houses, not dorms that homeless Christian families could sleep in peace.

II.            Picture a campus with a chapel that would sit 500 men, women and children several days a week..

III.            Picture a man on a tractor plowing the land, sowing seeds and harvesting crops to feel those on campus.

IV.            Picture a man/women in a large garage servicing vehicles of every size

V.            Picture a special house for Christian music groups like Petra, Newsboys, Christ Thomlin and so forth, to stay in peace, to save on their expenses. Asking nothing in return.

VI.            __________(left blank on purpose)

All of these pictures are possible, but we all need to work together.

We all need to start moving the mountains that are in the way.

If they hate me….

The year was 1953 one that would see tragedy with tornados in various part of the state of Michigan. Port Huron saw a twister as did Flint Michigan. In 1953 one was avoided the birth of a male child on July twenty-seventh in Norman Oklahoma. But wait, this child was not posed to live he was, according to stories this writer heard, to have been aborted. Yet, some sixty-five years later, there are stories to tell and heart breaks to be seen and felt.

Lets fast track to the end of 2018, some sixty-five years later, if you please;

Over the course of my life I was told I was dumb, stupid, would not amount to very much and that was just at home, putting it lightly. At school I was bullied and beat up and yet through it all I still managed to live. The reason why I was bullied was because of the work my foster father, worked at so the kids thought they could push yours truly because I would not fight back being the “son of a policeman.” 

So allow this writer to get to the point, fair enough?

Being a Christian would seem like a easy road to walk down right? But it is not, I will not sugar coat the story. Ever since the issue with Jesus and the Scribes and so forth His followers are  degraded to the teeth. Allow me to throw out some names and see if you know any of these who were degraded.

·         Pastor Billy Sunday

·         Pastor Charles Spurgeon

·         Pastor David Wilkerson

·         Rev. Billy Graham

·         Rev. Oral Roberts

·         Rev Rex Humbard

·         Peter

·         John

·         James

·         Paul who you also was known as Saul

·         Steven

·         Kenneth Hagin

·         Keith Green the prophet and song writer

·         Jeremiah the prophet

·         Rev Leonard Ravenhill

And the names could go on for eternity. And, by the way, the late Pastor Richard Blue has come under attack. And since Pastor Blue was my mentor I get the occasional riding of the rails as well. People degrade not only the man or woman of God but the message of reconciliation as well.

Listen, if you please, what Jesus had to say about those who hate Christians and ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Joh 15:18  If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 

Joh 15:19  If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 

Joh 15:20  Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 

Joh 15:21  But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. 

Joh 15:22  If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. 

Joh 15:23  He that hateth me hateth my Father also. 

Joh 15:24  If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. 

Joh 15:25  But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. 

Do you get bullied and degraded because you’re a Christian? If so you see the reason why in the scripture above.

Does the message of salvation(sometimes known as the Romans Road) get kicked around like football(known  as a Soccer ball in the USA)

And what’s freaky all the bullies who do the degrading are within the walls of a brick and mortar church.

Now, and since Pastor Blue is on to be with the LORD, I get to be bullied. And its over a simple tract Pastor Blue used for ages that, for the most part is located on Thunderdome Ministries Network  very own website.

“Well how many people have been lead to the LORD because its on your website?”  And the answer is I hope every person who reads that “the wages of sin is death” makes it to heaven. As I would rather they be happy in heave for eternity that in pain.

The late Pastor David Wilkerson said it the best, “the sin message is the hardest message to teach and to preach.

Because no one wants to hear the very truth that would set them free.”

To all Christians who are being bullied at school, home, in the work place or even in the hallowed halls of a church, I say the following:

Since they hated Jesus without a cause how much more shall we be hated.

Rember what was said in the the book of Epesians. And it reads like this:

The Whole Armor of God

Eph 6:10  Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 

Eph 6:11  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 

Eph 6:12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 

Eph 6:13  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 

Eph 6:14  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 

Eph 6:15  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 

Eph 6:16  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 

Eph 6:17  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 

Eph 6:18  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 

Eph 6:19  And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 

Eph 6:20  For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. 

It was once said that Samuel Clemens (Aka Mark Twain) knew how to speak to his audience. He, Samuel Clemens,  knew the power of the pause. It is said that at one of his conferences that he stood on stage 30 full minutes not uttering a sound. Some thought he was crazy and walked out. Some berated Clemens. But when Clemens did speak there was much respect and awe. For you see, those who know not the power and strength of the pause know little of the power of the story.

And what a story Christians have indeed.

Christians own the pause

                                  while God owns the story.

How many men, women and children have I lead to the Lord?

I know not

And do not want to know.

I will allow God to be the score keeper

As He owns the rest of the story.

After thought:

IF you are attacking the Gospel message and or being a bully to a minsiter of the Gospel I would so inclined to give God a wide berth as He walks by.

          

Make A Wish Make A Wish

Picture yourself a single person, not a bad life right? Eat when you want, sleep when you want, that is if your not working. Now, picture yourself also with no family; no mom, no dad, no brothers or sisters, no one to argue with right?

Now its the holidays; you know Thanksgiving and Christmas? A time to be merry and bright, right?  But lets face it that merry and bright departed when you found yourself alone. Then you ask yourself, "why put up the decorations  when only you will see them?" That makes no sense right? Plus you need to find a way to curb that energy bill, right?

Thats why this 2017, yours truly, created a I Wish page for all to see and use. On the page you will see its broken down into various categories, to make it a little easier to use. All except one refer back to my Amazon account where you, the reader, can choose which gift you want to bless me with. From DVD's to household and garden ideas I tried to put everything there thats wanted. or needed around the house.

What's nice about this page is it works not only for the holidays but birthdays or just thinking about you type days.

So... What you say want to help make a wish come true for one fellow who is single and retired?

 If so simply go to http://www.littlethunder727.yolasite.com/i-wish.php

If you do happen to make a wish come true. I know you would make this writter one happy person

2016 Hindsight

So here we are only hours from the swearing in of one Donald D
Trump as out new President of these United States of America.
Thus,  all the campaigns are finished and the country can move forward. In a nutshell that's what transpired in 2016 nationally.

However,  this blog entry is about yours truly. So,  let's take a brief look back at 2016 from my view;

The year started out just fine with visions and goals. Some of those goals I've shared before; you know the one entry about not being able to do this or that.
Yes,  while others were having a grand OK time going to the beach,  watching the fireworks, shopping for new cloths,  going out on a photo shoot I was stuck at home. Yea,  my friends took me grocery shopping and or to church there was times I wanted to excape.
Oh yes I did! Example I wanted to attend a Newsboys concert or some other Christian concert. Problem was I had no car to get me from here to there and so forth. In fact I've been housebound since April 5th 2016. And its just not that but picture yourself missing out on many activities I enjoy.

While I'm glad I have a roof over my house one still likes to engage in hobbies,  sporting events and such to unwind,  right?

Oh,  in case you did not know my 2007 Dodge Caliber blew a drivers side ball joint. Once fixed it was learned that certain parts were rusted out because Dodge forgot to put rustproofing on the parts.Now you would think that Dodge would correct the problem without charge right? Well its not the case. After several phone call Dodge said there would be no problem and would do repairs under warranty. So we got the car towed to a local Dodge dealership only to find out that its going to cost some $2000,  ouch right?

So here I am nearly 2am writing this summery of which you may have found boring. Well,  that's kind of what 2016 was like for me. A year of valleys,  hills and even more valleys (actually they felt more like Grand Canyon experiences.) But this I know the sun will come our and there will be better days. There has to be better days.

So how can I remain so positive? It comes via experience. Even people in the Bible had good and bad days. But they were able to rise above their troubles due to their faith in God. And as my faith grows I too can see a better tomorrow just over the horizon. A tomorrow filled with the love and peace of God that surpasssss all understanding.

Farewell 2016
