Steps Of an Unknown Writer

Said Brother Monk: Lord, I have been through much pain and suffering of late…May, June and July are blurs. Still, I call upon your name, that thou, O Lord, according to your great love and mercy and will …That You, O Lord, will be able to continue my healing, step by step by step, little by little. I sense Your hand upon me. I know You are not healing me all at once, but, that I may be ever humble and thankful and give You the glory and praise and thanks for my progress. Everyday is some forward progress, Lord, a little bit and a little bit and a little bit…for Yours is the glory forever and ever. Thy will be done, Lord, on earth as it is in heaven. How great art Thou, Lord, O great healer and guiding hand for those who love You. O Lord, how great art Thou! Nothing is too hard for You Lord, but a little thing in Your greatness and power.

From recovery to my room at the hospital from the second surgery at the same site to remove a large hematoma, in the wee hours of the dark morning, I lay in my bed straight up, fearing to lie-down; my incision of some 40-50 staples in my lower back was raw…I could not get the right breathing, could not get a full breath…and this was how I suffered through the long morning hours…the thought that I might die was ever present…and I prayed to the Lord Jesus that if this is my time, that He would be pleased to receive me with open arms, to be with Him forever. Then an infection was discovered at the wound site, and I was given a pic line to administer two heavy duty antibiotics for four weeks at home following my release. Then came another set-back: two blood clots…one in the back of my right leg behind the knee, the other in my right lung! We got it in time, Lord, and that is the pattern of how You bring me through all my trials and sufferings and illnesses, and operations. O how great Thou art, my Lord and God and Savior! I had to learn to walk again with my right leg that doesn’t work so well-the ankle and toes are very weak, the toes move very little…the nerve (s) to my tight foot was accidently cut during the second surgery due to a massive amount of blood at the wound site…But, thanks be to GOD, my Lord and Savior, I can walk! You are with me Lord, and ever present, and I am with You. I love You Lord Jesus, O BLESSED AND HOLY TRINITY, O Father, and Son, and Holy Spirit, with all my heart, and all my soul, and all my mind.. Thanks be to God, I can walk and walk and walk.

For three months I was hurting, Lord…but you brought me through, and now, even though my right leg is getting better, yet my toes and ankle are not yet strong or working as they should. But now I can walk with a cane and have completed months of physical therapy and pool, and am able to walk about two miles, and do the recumbent bicycle for about 4-5 miles, plus weights! And what a blessing my Lord You have given me at this time of healing; and what a wonderful blessing You have given to me my wife, my coach, my cheerleader, and my family and friends who have prayed for me and supported me throughout. I am focused on walking tall, and I have some work to do on my belly. But I will get there Lord with Your constant help. To be where I am now, Lord, Almighty God, Heavenly Father, Eternal Father, King of the universe…your humble servant is ever grateful.

In the fullness of time as appointed by God, He sent His Son, His only begotten Son to earth to be born a child of His earthly mother, Mary, blessed and holy Mary, mother of God. And at this time, your appointed time in the year 2014, approaching 2,00 years since the death, burial, resurrection and ascension of Christ Jesus up to heaven, I am only one of millions who you watch over and help and heal. Who cannot gaze upon You, O Lord, and think in the heart and mind exactly what You did for the world when Your blood was shed for us on the cross at Calvary. You and only You, Lord Jesus, for You are the Holy One who takes away the sins of the whole world; You are the Lamb of God…so that believing we would have forgiveness of our sins and have eternal life with our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. O that more than a quarter of the world’s population would come to faith in the Lord Jesus, as the Father calls through the Holy Spirit. Shall it ever be so? Shall there ever be a great harvest of souls as when it shall be done in the Great Tribulation in future years? O that today, this very day that God has given us in His wonderful creation of His spoken word, one more Gentile and one more Jew would come to the saving faith in Jesus as their Lord and Savior. If the world only knew of Your great love and mercy and saving grace for all people-everywhere, who would come to faith.

O Lord, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven. Thanks be to GOD.

Amen.

Brother Monk…what has put you in such a contrary mood? You, of all my holy ones, are most favored, I am sure, by the Lord Jesus. He knows your heart and your great love for Him, and He hears your constant prayers. He knows how you put your life on the line for Him, even facing certain death,
when, on your missionary trip to Uganda, you stood face to face with a Muslim rebel gang leader who ordered you to renounce Jesus or die!

O Father, when I go out into the world, and have a chance to talk to people, even Christians, no one wants to hear about what God has in store for them when they die! There is no concern about death, only the present and all the things they are caught up on in the world. And I want to tell them their eternal future, them and their family and friends, their eternal future after this short life, for we all must die some day, sooner or later. It is not important to them, but my heart hurts for them , and I want to tell them the things I have learned by the grace of God. And…

Well, Brother Monk, write what’s on your heart, and send it out into the sea, perhaps many bottles, and someone, somewhere will find it.

To Whom It May Concern:

When you die, what then? What shall happen to your body and soul? How shall your remains be handled? Will you be buried? If so, where?
And what of your immortal soul? Where will it go until the resurrection?

Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of the Father Almighty, is the only way to salvation and eternal life with Him forever! He is the only way to the Father. Call on the name of the Lord and ask forgiveness, and believe on Him, for what is written in the Holy Word of God?

“That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession in made unto salvation. For whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

The present world, even as in all previous centuries, is made up of believers and unbelievers: those who believe in Jesus, Yeshua, and His atoning death for the sins of the world, and those who don’t. There are only Gentile-Christian and Jewish believers, and Jewish and Gentile unbelievers, period! There is no other way; there is no other grouping…

Just before your death, at your ery last breath, what you believe in your heart determines in which direction your immortal soul-spirit goes…upward or downward…to heaven or to hell…

Jesus and Paul said the Christian body sleeps in Jesus at death, but the soul soars upward to heaven in spirit form to be with the Lord. Whereas the soul of the unbeliever travels immediately to hell away from the Lord. There it shall stay until the resurrection after the Millennial Kingdom on earth when Christ shall rule. They shall face Christ and be judged and shall be cast into the Lake of Fire for all eternity.

When Jesus comes out of heaven to resurrection His church-His believers, He shall bring with Him the souls of all believers in heaven, and shall put them into their bodies in the grave. And they shall be resurrected with new, glorified, immortal bodies like Christ’s body, and we shall follow Him to heaven, and after seven years of the Great Tribulation to the unbelieving people on earth, we shall return with Him back to earth as He crushes His foes, saves His people, and establishes His Kingdom of a thousand years. And so shall we ever be with the Lord.

But the souls of the unbelievers shall remain in hell.

We, and the Tribulation saints, and all the Old Testament saints shall feast with the Lord Jesus at the Supper of the Lord for a thousand years.

If you have not accepted the Lord Jesus into your heart, let Him in, for He has been knocking at the door of your heart for some time now.

This day, my prayer is for one more Gentile, one more Jew come to a saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus as their Savior.

There is only forgiveness, only salvation, only escape from the wrath of God to come upon on the whole earth, only eternal life after death, only in Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords…He is coming soon…

And so the roads we trod in life, the broad and the narrow, and the journey beyond…

Even so, come Lord Jesus…

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

Amen.

Most of the world does not know what the future holds for them. Billions do not know what will happen to them when they die. Almighty GOD only holds the answers of what will take place in the future, even perhaps the very, very near future.

There is only one GOD, the Triune GOD, known as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the very same One revealed in the New Testament of the Holy Bible as the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, one GOD in Three Persons, the blessed and Holy Trinity. There are believers and unbelievers today as in every century of human history. GOD sees Gentiles, Jews, and the Holy Church-the body of Jesus Christ-believers in Him.

At death, two things happen. First, the immaterial part of man, the soul, leaves the body and goes one of two place: to heaven with Jesus, or to hell with unbelievers. The body is buried. Both await a resurrection of the body, but at different times, and in much different circumstances for all eternity. The believers in Christ shall be resurrected at different times but will receive an immortal, glorified, new body to be with Jesus during His thousand year kingdom reign on earth, then with Him, GOD, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit for all eternity. The unbelievers will be resurrected after Christ’s reign on earth, and will face Him, and will die the second death and be cast into the Lake of Fire for all eternity, forever away from GOD. There will also be there in the Lake of Fire Satan, the enemy of GOD, and deceiver of the whole world, along with his son, the Antichrist, and the False Prophet! Plus, also, the fallen angels, the demons!

There shall follow a new heaven and a new earth, and the New Jerusalem shall come down to earth from heaven, prepared by GOD.

Before Creation, GOD had already planned out history in a sequential, chronological order. This generation would be born and accomplish exactly what GOD had planned. All things, both visible and invisible were created by GOD. All people were planned by GOD. All events were planned by GOD. GOD’s plan of the ages, GOD’s plan of salvation can be seen in His holy spoken word written in the Holy Bible. All the prophecies of GOD either have been fulfilled exactly and to the very time, or they will be fulfilled soon, in the future, the time know only to the Father.

And so there is a sequential, chronological order of events which must surely come to pass. These are tied into the “sevens of God.” There was the creation week of seven days. There are one hundred years in a century, and ten centuries to a millennium. We are currently in the sixth millennium of human history. By the time of the birth of Jesus Christ, approximately four thousand years had passed. And since the time of Christ’s crucifixion, death, resurrection, and ascension, almost two thousand years have passed. That’s six thousand years coming up! And Messiah Jesus, the Son of God, the coming King of kings, and Lord of lords will reign on earth for a thousand years, the seventh millennium. Then comes the final judgment, followed by eternity.

The horrible things that are happening around the world today in the 21st Century must happen, and will happen despite the talk of “blood moons,” the Temple, Jihad, Armageddon, the Second Coming, and the “End Times.” But the end is not yet! We are not there yet because GOD has said in His Holy Bible that things future must take place in order. The next great event to occur in GOD’s prophetic plan is the Rapture-resurrection of the Saints-His Church, an event that has no signs, an event that is imminent! Something GOD has promised, something only GOD can do and will do. Once heaven is reached with Christ, the unholy Antichrist will be revealed and the seven year period of judgment and chaos-the Great Tribulation will be present on the whole unbelieving earth! There are many things that will happen during this terrible time in human history. Billions will die, most of the earth will be destroyed! Then the Messiah, Yeshua, Jesus Christ will return from heaven in glory with His armies-the heavenly host. Then He shall reign on the throne of David in Jerusalem for a thousand years. Then comes the judgment of the fallen angels and unbelievers of all human history. Then comes eternity, either with GOD, or away from Him, in the special place He made.

So, it is important to know the future and what it holds.

Heavenly Father. if it be Thy will, please bring today Gentiles and Jews and their families to the saving knowledge and belief in Jesus Christ, the Savior, God, the Son of God. I also pray for the souls of those who were conceived but never born, and that they are with You in heaven. So many mysteries, Lord, that we shall one day know. Blessed be Thy holy name, O Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and forever…

Amen.

Evolution is all wrong. It seeks to undermine the foundation of God’s words of truth. There is no evolving of anything, the simple to complex life forms is nothing but a load of horse dung, a man made theory that Satan is then author of, for he is the father of lies! Contrary to popular belief, GOD did not create out of chaos, He created out of nothing! And everything He created in the six days of Creation as told in the very first words of GOD’s spoken word written, was very good.  And then, on the 6th 24 hour day, GOD made man, the very first man, out of the ground of the earth, “and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life: and man became a living soul.”

Chaos speaks of decay, death, everything in disarray, out of control, everything that is not of God. No, He created by His spoken word, and in an instant it was, working as God gave it to work and praise Him for their creation. Where you live and what you see outside is the same things that God created in those six days when time began. Everything, plants, animals, insects, man and woman were created adult so that they could produce offspring and continue their kind century after century after century, and even now in the 21st Century, today…just look around; praise God for His mighty creation-beautiful, good, lovely, perfect.  Chaos, chance, cannot praise God. Didn’t you know the heavens and the earth declare the glory of God?  Or did you not know the grass came before the herbs and the trees?

We know the names of the Creator: the Father, the Son, Jesus, the Christ, and the Holy Spirit. All were involved in Creation. There was no millions of years of life, then spoiled by Satan, and God had to re-create. That slanders GOD and makes His mighty power to be upset by a created being, a cherub, as if to say that he has power like God! Really? You believe that?  Guess you have not read “The Revelation of Jesus Christ,” the very last book of the Holy Bible, the very last message of Jesus Christ to His church, and to the world. Believe then, His simple, understandable words of Holy Scripture, with it all beginning in Genesis.

Genesis means “In the beginning,” the very beginning of all things, and here you can know Jesus, God, before He became a man thousands of years later. Here, in Genesis, you will see how God chose a special people for Himself, and follow the “seed line” of the Messiah, beginning with Eve’s offspring.  You will discover that Satan will have a son in the future (the Antichrist), and how the global Flood was brought about and why?  You will discover that the people lived very long lives, and died.  You will discover that it is God, Jesus who brings about inventions and the means to build houses, cities, and modes of travel. Even instruments for war first appear in Genesis.

The only people saved during the Flood were eight people out of a world population that reached into the millions.  God saved only Noah and his wife, and his three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and their wives. It is from these that the earth was re-populated. It is from the off-spring of these three sons that God made 70 nations, and caused new languages to come about, from Hebrew, the first language, to hundreds. And so, over the centuries the earth was once again peopled, by speech, tribe, and area.

Want to know your past and how we got to be born in the 20th/21st centuries?  Read Genesis. Want to know your future? Read the Revelation.

God-Jesus has put it all in writing for you to read and believe.  Jesus is the fullness of the Father; Jesus makes all things work and holds all things together. All things were created by Him and for Him.  Praise God for His wonderful revelations in His most blessed and holy words of light, life, and truth.

Amen.

I still say that the Lord has sped up the time we live in…who is not saying where did the past month go? This, I believe, is quickly moving to the events the LORD has told us will soon take place! The things that will take place follow an order the LORD God put in place at the very creation when He spoke the words: “Let there be.” And before any human being can think it, even faster than a thought, poof! AND THERE IT WAS! Sequential, chronological, in God’s perfect order of events in the first week of Creation, seven 24 hour days!

I was just looking at the trees in the woods…how many different trees were there? Then, how many different trees are there in the world? Can’t count them, can we? And all these millions and millions of different trees were created adult, with its own seed, and so that the seed drops to the ground and in the spring, it sprouts up! All this by the word of God. And that was on the third day. He did not create everything at once, but in a sequential, chronological order.

That’s how GOD works, and that’s how He, the Lord Jesus has worked in my healing and recovery from two back surgeries, and some serious setbacks! Little, by little, stronger and stronger, right leg starting to work again, sequentially, not all at once. And realizing just how much I have missed our ministry, and the very time he would have me ordained a priest in the Anglican church…the precious, holy ministry the Lord Jesus gave me…three years in the making…not counting my studies toward masters and doctorate degrees all to the blessed ministry of writing, teaching, and Holy Communion.

Prophecy is for today, for the age in which we live, the Church Aga, the Age of Grace…going on 21 centuries…almost 2,000 years…not the foretelling that the prophets of the Old Testament did, but truthful, powerful insights into future events the Lord has written in the New Testament, events yet to take place…you can know your future…and know that these future world events spoken, for example in Thessalonians and the Revelation, and as true to God’s Plan of the Ages, they will happen in a sequential, chronological order that the Lord Jesus will execute from Heaven. Just wait and see. We are born and die in a time and order of God.

All this in the mind of God…He saw all people, in all places, in a distinct time or age, doing what He already planned according to His mighty will…even those that followed a different will in the world, directly opposite God’s will…and the invisible battle rages for the souls of men…to whom will you worship…and just what do you believe? All or some, just a little? couldn’t be…not sure…heaven hell, saved, unsaved, all saved, the Holy, blessed Trinity, the Devil, Satan and his host of billions of fallen angels or demons, the Lamb of God, Jesus: God or man or God-Man? The Rapture, the Great Tribulation, the Antichrist, the False Prophet, the Second Coming, the Millennial Kingdom, the judgment of the unsaved, the new heavens and earth, the New Jerusalem, eternity with God, or without? You can know the future, not when they will occur, but that they will occur! In order, one by one by one…in Jesus Christ, Messiah, Him, our Savior…beyond words.

Blessed be His holy words of the Bible…blessed be His holy name, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit forever and ever and ever…

Amen.

I awoke praising GOD, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit for a new day in His creation. Even though dark rain clouds blocked the morning sunshine, I see the a part of the countless variety of trees and the thing God created them to do, to bloom with a showering of bright leaves unfolding in the Spring season, and in the Fall, sheds its leaves in a brilliant display of God’s colors that are indescribable, but bring warmth and joy to the heart. And, in HIS INFINITE PLAN as He created everything as adult, the trees drop their seeds to the ground where the root and grow into adult trees over the years. This same seed may also be carried by the wind to a different location, or, one of God’s creations, the birds, can carry the seed for miles and miles away.

Praise GOD for His spoken word, and what he created was instant and in the thousands of varieties of plants, for example, on the third day of HIS creation, that first He saw everything in creation and history happen before it happened! We cannot understand it because He is GOD. All will come to pass as HE planned it and saw it before HE CREATED it. Nothing is by chance or accident, that is the tactic of Satan to trick men into thinking it is their own idea. Those ideas or theories about how the earth came into being, and how life began on the earth are dead, because they go against GOD.

GOD created out of nothing, not chaos; everything HE created was good, very good. He even created all the angels and cherubs who sang for joy at God’s creation, and the heaven and earth all declare His powerful and almighty glory. But, as GOD planned IT TO HAPPEN, HE now had a “rival” in the world of Adam and Eve in the paradise of the Garden of Eden! A mighty, fallen cherub, and a third of the angels of heaven followed to the sky above the earth, for they were and are spirit beings with great power to come down to the earth and mess with mankind. Up to this time, there was only one will in the world, and that was of God. Now, there were two wills in the world, one of GOD, and one of Satan. And so the battles of the ages began as to who’s will man would listen to and obey. It was the battle for the souls of men. GOD ALREADY KNOWS THE BEGINNING FROM THE END He knows those who are His, and those who are Satan’s; those who will live with him in glory; those who will live in darkness and damnation with Satan, his son, and the false prophet!

So let us praise God for His wonderful creation and us. Let us pray without ceasing by saying the name of Jesus and remembering all He has done for us who believe, and all He will do one day soon. Let us pray and sing the psalms and the hymns that give Him the glory and Praise and thanks, and blessings. Let us always bless HIS HOLY NAME, O, BLESSED AND HOLY TRINITY, O FATHER, AND SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT, GOD IN THREE PERSONS, BLESSED TRINITY.

Blessed be the Lord God forever; bless be my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Where did May go…especially since this writer underwent lumbar back surgery and fusion? Then, two weeks later, while recovering with acute physical therapy, a large hematoma developed in the wound site, pinching the nerve to the left hip, causing excruciating pain, which resulted in a second surgery at the same site! Then an infection developed at the bottom of my 55 staples incision, wound site- resulting every 12 hours with infusion of heavy duty antibiotics for four weeks! Then, one week later, a swollen right foot and leg put me back in the hospital for possible blood clots. A CAT Scan revealed two blood clots, one behind the knee of my right leg, and another in my right lung! My doctor immediately put me on a heavy duty blood thinner just in time! And so today, Sunday, June 8, 2014, sleep deficit, nerves firing up in my right leg, muscle spasms and cramping in my right leg, trying to get through the constant pain, yet I praise the Lord God through Jesus Christ for the timing of putting good doctors and nurses and technicians before me to eliminate the problems and get me back on the road to recovery! How great and merciful and loving is our God, the blessed Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit! How inadequate my prayer of thanksgiving and mercy I constantly pray to Him. I wish I had the words to deeply thank Him for His guiding and healing hand. In all my setbacks, I sensed His presence, knowing that He has more for me to do before my time. All last night, in constant pain, I walked with my walker, up and down the halls of our house, through the kitchen, step by step, asking the Lord to heal my right leg, if He be willing. If not, then I shall fight through my pain, asking Him for strength, and praising Him for all things, and for yet another chance in this life. Being away from my ministry in this condition, has created within me an urgent zeal to get back at it, that I may give all glory and honor and blessings to the Lord God Almighty for His plan for me. My time in the hospital was a time to witness to others the Lord Jesus and offer blessings in His most holy Name. How great is the Lord our God! Here is something I wrote during this time: At home, second day…all glory, praise, and thanksgiving to GOD, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for giving me this second day at home with my dear and beloved and blessed wife for helping me, providing constant care in all phases of recovery, praying with me, being my cheerleader and love, helping me battle through this pain, while the Lord works His will. And thanks be to GOD for all the love and best wishes from family and friends all along the way, and my church, Elkton United Methodist Church. I know the Lord Jesus has received their prayers. Blessed be His holy name, now and forever. Amen. Other thoughts: There is only one GOD, there are no others! He is the GOD OF Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, revealed to us in the New Testament at the Baptism of Jesus, as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, the blessed and holy Trinity, the great and blessed holy mystery: three in One; One in Three. He is the true and living GOD of all eternity, of all history, of Light and Life, and truth. The Heavenly Father, who, with His only begotten Son, the Word, the Lamb of God, reigns over the universe and of all things, both visible and invisible, He created and sustains…He is immortal and eternal, He is beyond our comprehension…before anything was created before time began, before the heavens and earth, the sun and moon and stars, before the sea and land, grass, herbs and trees, there was only GOD…All glory, praise, worship, blessings and honor to You, O Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come, for heaven and earth declare your awesome glory, also your spoken word revealed and written that we might know You, Lord God Almighty, and know our past, and our future, and eternity with You, O Lord. Even so, come Lord Jesus. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, hosanna in the highest. My Lord and my God, Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who died for our sins that we might be forgiven, saved from the wrath of God to come, and inherit eternal life with Him. For we, His Saints shall return with Jesus from heaven as the whole earth shall see Him in His glorious power and might, the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS…Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, the Son of God, the Son of Man…and Jesus, with us, shall reign on earth from Jerusalem for a thousand years; then comes the new heaven, the new earth, the New Jerusalem which comes down out of heaven, then eternity with GOD FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER… Amen and Amen.
