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

Alone?

Do you remember the movie Home Alone?
Well for single people thats what Christians is like for million of single people. They sit at home on Christmas day perhaps eating a simple tv dinner while watching either some movie or watching a sporting event. What about family members? Well if you have family they might invite you over for a home cooked meal. However, if your the last one in the family Christmas can be  an welcomed guest.
The latter aspect is true for this writer. So, every Christmas its a simple microwaveable tv dinner and a little time for a movie from the DVD collection. And forget the Mincemeat Pie not one grocery store sells them. So my favorite pie and ice cream go by the wayside like other traditions.

How can you help?

#1.    Adoption:  thats right adopt a single person for the holidays. treat him like family. 

#2.   Gift Giving;  find out what he or she likes and make an effort to give them a few gifts, Some people might even make a Christmas Wish list right over there on Amazon

#3.    Food: NO person should spend the holidays alone even at meal time. If you treat him or her like family find out what foods s/he likes such as does he or she like apple pies, cherry pies or maybe even mince meat pies. Maybe a person likes ham instead of turkey. Taking someone out to a restaurant does not count as it make the person feel like an outsider!

#4.   Games & TV  if your family plays games then be sure to invite him or her to play. If your family watches a sporting even invite them to watch with you. 

Church idea: perhaps in October your church could have a Adoption Day. A family adopts a known single person for the holidays where all of the above could be put into play.

Remember to treat him or her like family.

Last Days?

AS I recently spoke with the board of directors of Thunderdome Ministries sad news emerged. Allow  yours truly  to explain;

1.  Since 1982 yours truly has made sure the ministry had its needs met with it be a newsletter or domain name or even a website the needs have been met head on.
2. instead of having a huge bank account lit other ministry's funds are so little larger purchases have been sweep aside. I am talking about desktop computers, laptops and even buying property.
3. Love gifts are and have been slow to come forth. And always it was just enough to meet the needs at the time. However, I can tell you that there wes never enough afterwards to make a bank depost.
4. Repairs: sometimes things break and need repair as in the case of a Asus G60 laptop. It has sat for nearly 4 years needing repairs. Repairs such as a new keyboard to name only one aspect of many, Regretfully there has not been enough in coming funds to have the laptop not only repaired but updated as well. I think the system right now is running on Windows XP when it should be on Windows 10.

One of the directors is trying to find a way for readers like you  to contribute to the ministry. Offering such things as perhaps cd's, and or books but this ministry is not like Kenneth Copeland  and or Swaggart who can give away things

Below is a small list of things that need some kind of funding in 2018

• Internet via Comcast Business Class = $1020/yr
• Domain name @ Our Church = $19.95/yr
• Paper, ink printer from HP and a newer all on one printer is needed in about a year or less.  

Fact: 
 All ministries and churches have to have funding to press onward in this battle and Thunderdome Ministries Network is no different.

Would you like to assist Thunderdome Ministries Network with a love gift? Do you since the leading of the Lord to do so?  IF you feel lead of the Lord to do so there is two ways that you can send in your gift of love.

The Underddog

A vast majority of Christian ministries are listed as "non-profit" and do pretty well. listed as a But What happens when a ministry is "profit" ministry?  Truth of the matter is they strive to stay afloat, often digging into their own pockets to make ends meet. Thus the underdog as in the case of Thunderdome Ministries Network.

From 1983 to 1989 Thunderdome Ministries often published a newsletter. At one point  there was 150 subscribers each and every month. Sadly the newsletter had cease due to rising costs. What is even more sad is the fact that not one subscriber sent in funding.

 This is one example of what can transpire when the elect of outside God fail. And  part of it this is due to the thinking that they should receive just about everything free. In fact they believe that any outside assistance, such as in evangelism, should be paid little to nothing. 

Thunderdome Ministries is underdog ministry striving to stay afloat after all these years. How does the  ministry do so?  Well its simple; when there is a mountain to be moved we tell it to be gone in the name of Jesus. And we press on  moving the stones and rocks out of the way one bit at a time.
As of 1982 there has been one mountain  that yet needs to be moved,  obtaining funding for a homeless ranch(?) for the Christian community. And right now we are about three million dollars short.

The ministry mentioned above is not the only underdog ministry within the invisable walls of these United States. In  truth I would guess there are over five thousand underdog ministries. And they too need the assistance of the Christian community

Now dear reader, Christian, what will you do to help underdog ministries in your city, state and country? Will you assist in moving their mountains or will you hold back from the Lord?

It Takes....

If it takes one person to feed a family what could a group of Christians do?

They say there are over one million Christians in the United States alone. But the number of homeless people can not truly be counted. But there is a way you can help so left me explain if you please.
Thunderdome Ministries Network Inc out of Flint Michigan wants to help the homeless. However there is a catch  per se. And it goes like this:

Every year even Christians find themselves homeless either on a short term level or long term.
What if  the Christian community gathered around to assist? Here re is a plan that very well could work.

If everyone reading this could commit to giving $10 per month who know how many  it could assist. To top it off there would be no need goverment grants whatsoever. In fact as CEO of the ministry I do not want any grants from the US goverment. Why no grants you ask; simple answer is this; grants are filled with rules and  regulations.

Ever hear the phrase "Hay buddy can you spare a dime?" That phrase came out of the days of the Hobo  and depression era. Today you can not get a cup of coffee for a dime. In fact many restaurants charge  a dollar or more. Now the question to you is as follows;

Hay mister can you spare $10 per month committing to at least 6 months?

If you are willing to commit to a mere $10/month for six months or more click on the following link.

                       I commit to freely give $10 per month for at least six months

If you are willing do make the above commitment the staff of the ministry thanks you for your free will love offering. As you so freely bless so God will bless you someday.

Yours in the faith and knowledge of Jesus who is the Christ

A Softer America?

Here is a question for you to consider;

Have all the "legal" Americans gone soft?
You think about it a minute and as you do consider all those US Generals in recent years who "retired" under pressure. I have NEVER seen such a happening before in US history.

Now, think back to September 11 2001 and those so called "terror attacks." Including that of a certain building just outside of DC. If you review the footage you can clearly see that it was NOT a airplane but a missle that hit the Pentagon.

Yes, I say not only have countless Americas gone soft but various branches of these United States.
How can I say this?  Look at the following;

#1. When the World Trade Center  was attacked why was the Pentagon not put on full alert?

#2. When the Pentagon was attacked what took them so long to protect the President of the United States? The government has secret underground bunkers all around these United States he could have been hid inside. Instead they put him on an airplane that could have been shot down.

When i went into the US Army we ALL took an oath to "defend against all enemies both foreign and domestic."
I would hope that ALL those who took that oath still stand by it and do and or will protect these hallowed grounds called the Unites States of American.

And lastly, let me say this:
This is no time for the household of faith, aka the church, to go soft either. Scripture that  says that we are to "fight the good fight of faith." Furthermore it also says to "put on the WHOLE armor of God."

If the church will look through history people, yes those who today sit in pews across America, fought to protect and defend its land. Today should be no different!

Are you as true blue American as the late General George S. Patton?
Or are you as soft as the soldier he slapped?

You, as not only perhaps as Christians, but also Americans needs to get tough on "the enemy both forgein and domestic."

This is no time to get soft and cozy. Its past time to defend what our fathers and grand fathers have fought so bravely for. Freedom!

It's time to defend and protect our freedom!

Like the late Dr King said, "let freedom ring." And it needs to be rung from the highest mountain to the lowest valley.
Indeed let"freedom ring" and let it ring loud and proud.
Its past time to defend and protect these lands.
Your very freedom is at stake. What will you do?

David "Littlethunder" Liebler

I Am Me

Over the Easter season of 2016 I lost my spiritual mentor, spiritual father,  best friend, tennis partner, chess partner and so much more. Its still hard to talk about my friend Pastor Richard E. Blue as he meant so much to me over the 26 years we were together.

After his departure from this planet I frankly was lost. I knew I had a task to do with the Lord but I was still at a loss. Which way do I go left? or how about right? or how about I just take the middle ground and  play it safe. Even to this date May 21st I want to pick up the phone and talk to my best friend, then in a small way I remember. I remember he is gone but God is not.

Even as I pen this I hear the voice of te Lord saying, "Do you trust me?" and I answer indeed I trust the Lord with all my heart so whats next?

First, God says, "be yourself. Don't be Pastor Blue but use the tools we taught you." Then I say, Lord they wont listen people are just not all that fond of me so what do I do?  "Its their loss." Says the Lord "You have much to teach them and share with them if only they would listen. Does it not say that I will teach them by my Spirit? "  I understand more about Moses and Jeremiah as it seems they had speech problems. But God always finds a way to get the task done.

"Be Yourself" yes that's what the Lord said, simply, "Be yourself."  But who am I Lord? "You are whom I made and love. I even gave you tools to use." Now I know that God gave us His Word but He gave us more. God gave us the Holy Spirit who, according to scripture will teach us and guild us in all things. Yes even in the things of God.

People may not like yours truly. But the fact of the matter is the very "God who is rich in mercy" wants me to press on. Press on? Yes indeed, press on to the mark of the high calling of Jesus who is the Christ the very Son of the living God.  Indeed press on.

Press on? But how?  God game me a learning tool, a teacher, a pastor, a friend. While that person is gone the lessons and example he left behind are for my use. There are a lot of tools Pastor Richard "Dick" Blue gave me but the one thing that sticks out the most is as follows, just be yourself and teach and  preach what God has given me.

As of others? well I cant not vouch for them but I can teach them if they are willing to learn? And if they fail to learn, then it is their loss, their rebellion.
By the way, God gave the church an example that needs to be mentioned before closing and here it is;

Ananias & Sapphira that's right the lessons of Ananias, & Sapphira  found in  Acts chapter five.

You see they had said they would give unto the church. But they said they would hold back a portion of what they were to give. Their punishment was death. But how can you learn from this story of the early church? Here it is in a nutshell:

When you make an oath unto the Lord and to a fellow believer you are required to keep that oath.
Otherwise it becomes the sin of disobedience and that my dear reader is as the sin of witchcraft and if you have read Gods Word enough then you know the punishment for such.

But wait you say, you cant afford to do the entire oath in a lump sum situation?  Then do the oath in parts, provided the both of you agree. Just make sure you honor the entire oath. Forgetfulness is a far cry from an excuse. If need be write down the oath and make copies, one for you and one for the other person.

BE yourself/

Yes, be yourself. God made you, taught you, left His Holy Spirit just for you to be you.
Its hard to travel the road without a mentor and best friend. "But God who is rich in mercy" (Ephesians 2:4) has brought you to this point for a reason. That reason is rather simple; to move forward with the "ministry of reconciliation." And so the person who  God has made did so with a mission in life,

 Be yourself in all you do. Be whomever your meant to be by Christ Jesus.
Don't try to be like your Pastor, your Sunday School teacher and so forth instead be yourself.

I am me in HIM

By the way I need to to add this following:

In recent 30 plus days some Christians have been lead by the Lord to help with the repairs of my 007 Dodge Caliber. But you have failed to come through for your brother in the household of faith.
Yes, God has shown me that there are many who has lead to assist in this need. But you have used excuse after excuse not to assist. Even going so far as thinkning how much you dislike yours truly.

So I say this:  you have two choices, just like there are two sides to a sheet of paper.

You can continue in your rebellion and pay the price. 

Or

You can give and or assist in this need and see the blessings flow afterwords.

Now Im going to stick my neck out on a limb and say the following:

There is a Christian who has a Dodge dealership/repair business. And God mentioned to you of taking up this need in full and make all repairs as if the car would be new.
However, you have failed thus far to produce the fruit that is required of thee. You know who you are so you need to make things right between you and God in this matter
So, dearly beloved, will you come out of hiding and do the right thing? Or will you continue leaving a member of the household of faith in bondage?

IF you would like to assist in this writers need:

#1.  step up to the plate and say I will help

#2.  Ask how you can help

First you could help by adding to the GoFundMe account @ gofund.me/2015bucket 

or you could text yours truly @ 1+2482951365  Subject line: 007 Caliber Fix

Be yourself 

 trust yourself

 trust God  

obey God

I am me in HIM

Help Us Help Them

For decades yours truly has ministered to those in prison here in the fine state of Michigan. But the task is far from over. Those whom Jesus called the "least of these" still needs assistance.
Problem is, many in society don't believe those in prison deserve assistance. And this frame of thinking even has entered Christian circles. Don't believe me? Count how many Christian half way homes there are and it tells a story. Or how many volunteer to minister to Christians in prison. Numbers are far and few between.

The above is need number one. Need number two as as follows;

Have you ever been homeless? As a Christian you'd think that it's not possible as God would not leave one begging for anything right? While that's true, it still takes Gods people working together to assisting others.

Thunderdome Ministries Network Inc still sees a location where Christians, both bond and free can receive temporary assistance. And all the while making a difference in his or her community.
