Steps Of an Unknown Writer

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be always acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer. +

How blessed we are to know and love Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.

How thankful that we are saved by His blood for our sins and from the wrath to come.

How blessed we are to know we will be in His Kingdom to come to earth one day where we will live with him with brand new immortal, glorified bodies just like His! Wow!

Why, that is the best Good News I ever heard. How about you?

Someone once asked me how many people I thought will be in God’s Kingdom?

I replied that I didn’t know, only the Father in Heaven knows for sure.

I said it must be a pretty big number though, something no man could count.

Pretty much the way a financial analyst once described to his boss when asked how much money was in all the banks of the world?

“A BLUEZILLION, SIR.

How much?

A Bluezillion!

Never heard of that.

That’s ’cause it’s a number no one can count.”

And maybe that’s the best way to describe the number of saints who will be in the eternal Kingdom of God…a “bluezillion people,” an uncountable  number.

And you and I shall be there who have put our trust in Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior…we shall be in that uncountable crowd of a “bluezillion.”

Folks, the world we live in is a mess! For all the beauty and goodness, you have evil and darkness popping up everywhere, every day! And it’s getting worse!

There is good and evil…

Righteousness and unrighteousness…

The just and the unjust living side by side, like the wheat and the tares!

And when the Lord Jesus comes back as the “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS,” He will sort it all out, so don’t worry about that.

Yet we live out our lives as believers, following Him as best we can, asking for forgiveness, ever longing for the day to be with Him in God’s Kingdom.

Now I’m not talking about a spiritual kingdom…I’m not talking about some people thinking it’s here now, or the teaching that someday when the world is all Christian, then folks will bring in the kingdom for Christ so he can return?

No, what I’m saying IS A REAL, PHYSICAL KINGDOM ON EARTH THAT CHRIST WILL SET-UP WHEN HE RETURNS THE SECOND TIME.

And that’s what I’m talking about! The Children of the Kingdom.

Just who’s gonna be there?

It often comes up when people talk about the Kingdom of God, they ask: “Who is going to be the greatest in the Kingdom?

In other words, who is gonna sit in the first row, and who’s gonna be in the back?

Well, that’s what the disciples were arguing about as they followed Jesus: who will be the greatest in the Kingdom to come?

Matthew 10:13-16: Jesus asked them what they were arguing about on the road? They kept silent, but He knew their thoughts. And what was the answer He gave them? A scolding? A lecture?

No, He gave an answer they never expected!

Why, He took in His arms a child, and said to them that “becoming like a little child, you welcome my Father and I into your life,” and therefore “The Kingdom of God belongs to such as these…”

“I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

The disciples thought that by their good works one would be greater than the other in the Kingdom to come!

No, he that would be in the Kingdom shall be as a little child: trusting, happy, innocent, full of wonder, accepting, ready to jump into the waiting arms of Jesus. We shall go flying into then arms of Jesus who will never drop us.

Again in Matthew, chapter 18, they asked the same question, and if repetition  does anything, it proves a point.

“At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, ‘Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?”

“He called a child whom He put among them, and said, ‘Truly I tell you, unless you change, and become like children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”

‘Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.”

Wow, that sure took the wind out of their sails!

Jesus also said in Matthew 19: “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these.”

Like a little child, you can’t have extra baggage; no agenda, no stuff, just believe, and trust, and be happy and long for that special Kingdom Jesus promised in the Lord’s Prayer: “THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE, ON EARTH, AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.”

We are to come to Him as little children with a child-like faith…let go of the clutter in your life; make room for Jesus.

So, you who are blessed in the Lord, rejoice and be happy, for Jesus is coming for His children made suitable for the Kingdom!

And here it is, For John wrote: “BUT TO ALL WHO RECEIVED HIM, WHO BELIEVED IN HIS NAME, HE GAVE POWER TO BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD.” 

Did you get that? He has given us power…you and I, true believers in the Messiah, Jesus Christ, to become children of God!

Because: “WHO WERE BORN NOT OF BLOOD OR THE WILL OF THE FLESH OR THE WILL OF MAN, BUT OF GOD.”

And now you know the truth!

He will welcome us one day into His Kingdom. Why? Because of His almighty power for us to become the Children of God, the Children of the Kingdom, that’s why!

We, who are Christ’s, are His children. He is our Father. We are the children of the family of God and it doesn’t get better than that!

Therefore, you can know your future and that of your loved ones.

Paul wrote in the 8th chapter of Romans: “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.”

That’s us.

For, “When we cry, Abba! Father! It is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are Children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ.”

We will inherit eternal salvation and God Himself and all things with Christ…

Paul wrote: “For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God.”

Something great has been going on in the world undetectable by man…for Paul said: “We know that the whole creation has been groaning…”

Our bodies don’t feel very child-like when we groan, do they? But we groan all our lives…just as we groan within ourselves when we don’t feel so good, reaching for an aspirin or alkaselzer, muscle rub, and wanting to take a nap because we are very tired!

But we press on, still groaning as Paul said, “in labor pains until now; and not only the creation but we ourselves, who have the first fruit of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait for the adoption, the redemption of our bodies.”

And that’s when we shall be perfect! That’s when He shall come for us…that’s when we shall be glorified according to the promises and power of GOD.

Just as we are waiting, so, too, the saints who sleep in Christ Jesus.

Just before he died, the great missionary to China, Hudson Taylor, said: “I am so weak. I can’t read my Bible. I can’t even pray. I can only lie still in God’s arms like a little child and trust.”

For in hope we were saved…But. if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience…According to the will of God.

Paul wrote: “We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to His purpose.”

In His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus was talking about the children of the Kingdom in Matthew, chapter 5:

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. 

In 1 John 3, the Apostle John concluded:

“See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called the Children of God; and that is what we are.”

“Beloved, we are God’s children now, what we will be has not been revealed. 

What we do know is this: When He is revealed, we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is.

And all who have this hope in Him purify themselves, JUST AS HE IS PURE.

Take some time to think about Heaven and all the awesome glories GOD has in store for us, His children of the Kingdom, we, the children of God.

Therefore, my precious saints:

Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you, hallelujah.

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

THE CHRISTIAN VICTORY is always and always will be faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Lamb of God, our Lord and Savior, our Lord and our God.

His death on the Cross for our sins; His mighty resurrection from the dead gives us, His true believers the assurance of our resurrection from death and eternal life with HIM forever; His glorious ascension to the Father in Heaven means that we too will one day be with Him in Heaven with the Father and the Holy Spirit in new, glorified heavenly bodies, for we shall be like Him when we see Him face to face.

All our family and friends will be there too and we shall be part of an uncountable number of the heavenly host.

In reading about the 12 Apostles, I came across a passage about Philip and discover that, “It was he that stressed the cross as a sign of Christianity and Victory.” +

Therefore, do not lose heart-Jesus Is Coming!

“And so, since God in His mercy has given us this wonderful ministry, we never give up. We reject all shameful and underhanded methods. We do not try to trick anyone, and we do not distort the word of God. We tell the truth before God, and all who are honest know that.” -2 Corinthians 4:1-2

Furthermore, “We know that the same God who raised our Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and present us to Himself along with you. All of these things are for your benefit. And as God’s grace brings more and more people to Christ, there will be great thanksgiving, and God will receive more and more glory. THAT IS WHY WE NEVER GIVE UP. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. For our present troubles are quite small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us an immeasurably great glory that will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see right now, rather, we look forward to what we have not yet seen. For the troubles we see will soon be over, BUT THE JOYS TO COME WILL LAST FOREVER.” -2 Cor. 4:14-18

We have overcome the world because Christ overcame the world; we have the victory in Christ because he was victorious over all things; we can do all things because Christ strengthens us; by faith we are forgiven; by faith we are saved; by faith in Jesus Christ, Messiah, we have eternal life with GOD forever and ever.

+In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

In the Holy Bible, the Word of God says in the Book of ‘The Revelation of Jesus Christ,’ in chapter 19, verse 10: “For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

Do you have the testimony of Jesus Christ?

Then do you have the spirit of prophecy?

What do I mean? Well, for one thing to be able to correctly understand the prophetic Word of God of future events still to come that await fulfillment, all lined up in God’s calendar of time of recorded history.  Things that must shortly come to pass!

What things? In order, and just to mention some: the end of the church age at the Rapture of dead and living believers in Jesus Christ; followed the start of the last seven years of human history known in Scripture as the ‘Tribulation, followed by the glorious 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ to earth to set up His kingdom and reign for a thousand years; followed by the Great White Throne Judgment when Jesus the Messiah shall judge the unbelieving dead of all time; follower by the new Heaven and the new Earth, and the New Jerusalem which comes down from Heaven, and the Eternal Order forever with GOD.

These will all happen in order…why? Because God said so!

To think, to meditate upon, to visualize, to imagine, to talk about them, and to teach and preach them is the spirit of prophecy.

So set your heart, and soul and mind on the things above, the things unseen, on eternity, for God has placed them in your heart.

The prayer, “Even So, Come, Lord Jesus” was used in the early church during the darkest of times when it seemed that things couldn’t get much worse! And so the believers prayed that Jesus would come back and make things better. Only Jesus is the answer to all the world’s problems; our fears, our brokenness, our hurting, our suffering.  only Jesus can bring true peace, comfort and joy! Only Jesus!

But before the prophecies of Revelation take place in rapid succession, the rise of Antichrist and the False Prophet, before the seal, trumpet, and bowl judgments, before his 2nd Coming, the ‘Rapture,’ which is imminent, must first take place.

First of all, the doctrine of the Rapture is set forth in the New Testament in John 14, I Corinthians 15 and I Thessalonians 4. There are others to be sure, but these are the ‘big three.’ The Rapture could happen at any moment; only God the Father knows the day and time. The Rapture is a mystery. This is something Jesus Himself will do with the voice of the archangel and the trumpet of God…for Jesus will come out of heaven to the earth, in the air above the clouds…and the dead in Christ will be raised first; then the believers who are alive at that time shall be changed-translated in the ‘twinkling of an eye,’  and rise to meet those in the air (raptured; harpazo; transported from one place to another)…and together we shall meet Christ in the air above the clouds, and follow him to Heaven…And so shall we ever be with the Lord! This is our sure and blessed hope!  therefore, comfort one another with these words.

Are we doing this? Are we telling folks the rest of the story? Do you have the testimony of Jesus…the spirit of prophecy?

As we say goodbye to 2019 and all it held, all that happened both good and bad, all the things we did or didn’t do, all our hopes and dreams and prayers…all the wonders of life all around us…all the blessings and gifts and miracles sent from God on high…all our thanksgiving and prayers and healing and comfort and peace…

May this last day of the year, December 31, 2019+In the Year of our Lord+ New Year’s Eve be a blessing from Almighty God to bring in 2020 with His mercy and love and blessings to us all,

In Jesus Christ’s name forever and ever,

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

Amen.

I am just a man…

I do not have the power of healing…that is something only God can do…and does do through the Holy Spirit.

If someone is given the gift from God for healing, it is the Holy Spirit working through them.

Faith…believing God can heal has a lot to do with it.

Jesus said, “Your faith has made you whole.”

So our prayer unto Almighty God is believing He can heal us, and in His great, great, great mercy, He will do it! Just as he has always done on earth as it is in Heaven.

So, dear Lord, send Thy healing mercies upon Thy faithful servants who cry out to You, and that by Your mighty power, they may be made whole to Your glory in abundant years of life to come…

In Jesus Christ’s name we pray, now and forever…

Amen

Discovery is a beautiful thing! What a wonderful feeling when you discover something new…something you had not seen or thought about before. Wow!

Dis you know Jesus-Yeshua-Messiah-Christ has many names? My goodness, one could say an awesome prayer just saying His names. But did you know you have been praying His Holy Name without thinking? In the Book of Exodus He revealed His name as, “I AM.” That’s one of the very first names of Jesus. And you have been saying His name ever since a child. For example, when someone asked your name, you replied, “I am John.” Every time you said, “I am,” you were also saying His name. In Revelation 3, Jesus introduces Himself to the church as the “AMEN.” Think of how many times in church or Bible study or finishing a prayer you said, “Amen,” it is so…of a truth. So we are really praying Jesus in these two instances, over and over again. What a blessing!

And here’s a Jesus prayer you can pray anytime, anywhere as often as you want.

“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, my Lord and my God, have mercy on me a sinner.”

Blessings and thanks to you, Almighty and Eternal GOD, Creator of Heaven and earth, and all things, seen and unseen, and we, your people.

Blessed be Almighty GOD, Father, and Son, and Holy Spirit, and our eternal thanksgiving to you, Lord,  One God, forever and ever.

Blessed be Genesis, the book of beginnings and all things therein. Blessed be ‘the things to come,’ as so clearly stated in Scripture in Your prophetic word: the Church Age-the Age of Grace; the imminent ‘Rapture of the Church; the Great Tribulation; the 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ to earth to set up His Kingdom and reign a thousand years, the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS; the New Heaven and New Earth; the New Jerusalem which comes down out of Heaven; Eternity with GOD forever and ever.

Blessings and thanksgiving, Lord, for your awesome Plan of the Ages-Plan of Salvation in the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, Jesus Christ, He is the LAMB OF GOD.

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

AMEN.

Well, your favorite monk has been away for some time. Caught up in the busyness of life-going to and fro, supporting, doing the things our ministry requires, family, visits to the doctor…

Yet during all that time, never, ever too busy to stop and look around and look up and give my  eternal thanksgiving to the Lord God Almighty, creator of heaven and earth and all things seen and unseen. I am a small piece of God’s great, great universe in this place where He put me. And here I am so blessed for all He has given me: not the ‘things’ of this world, but rather my family and friends and relatives, my life and health, my church, our ministry…especially, my GOD.

I lift up my hands and voice to praise God for the wonders of creation, His mighty, stupendous act of creating all things in just six days, as the Holy Bible tells us, yes, and by  the power of his spoken word! God created us in his own image; therefore, we bear his image; we are His ‘image bearers.’ Do we act like it?

How beautiful, Lord, how marvelous everything you made that I see all around me. The ancient grass, the herbs and trees, each one different after its own kind…numbering beyond our ability to count them all. Each leaf different, special, and the coming autumn will display the awesome array of colors that only God can do. I look at the beauty in the sky above, and the clouds, the sun and moon, and the stars, and I praise God for all I see and know and sense. Thank you Lord for each and every day and the time and place you have given me. Thank you Lord for each and every drop of rain and snow, each one different than the other, and the grains of sand at the seashore that God knows each one.

I rejoice in the Lord with a thankful heart and bless his holy. almighty name forever. Let us always have the time to give Him our worship, our praise, our joy, our thanks, our all for all he has done, is doing, and will do as it is written. Thank you Lord Jesus for our knowing the truths of the past, for living in the present in You, and for knowing the ‘things to come’ in the near future. Blessed be the name of our GOD, the Father, and the Son, Jesus Christ, the Messiah, the Son of God, and the Holy Spirit, One GOD eternal.

Blessed are You forever and ever.

Even so, come Lord Jesus.

Amen.

We live in it and among it.

Some accept it, some don’t. Some don’t care.

Some try to prevent it but can’t. Some pretend they can stop drugs.

One way or the other drugs lead to death.

Behind the onslaught of illegal drugs is spiritual warfare.  Satan, the fallen cherub use his evil power through his host of countless fallen angels-fallen spirits who are demons.

These evil, wicked demons do Satan’s command to kill people through drug use and the destruction of the human body as millions have died from drug overdose and many other forms of death from addiction.

Satan has always pulled people away from God through his lie, his deception, and planting the thought into the minds of human beings.  They are the forces of whisperers, unseen yet able to keep the idea in minds of people to try the drug…”it’s cool;” it’s the thing to do; everybody’s doing it, besides, it will make you feel good and release you from all your worries, stress, and the life you are living that you don’t like…

Why go to the drug store when you can get it on the street corner?

If you had any ambition, drive, work ethic, focus, follow-through, completing jobs and tasks, or even dreams …a game plan for your future…well, forget it…ain’t gonna happen…you will always put things off…do it later and later and later….days, weeks, month, years? You can’t…you won’t…why? BECAUSE YOU ARE ADDICTED!  THAT’S WHY.

THE DRUG HAS YOU AND YOU HAVE THE DRUG!  SNORT IT; INHALE IT; SMOKE IT; SWALLOW IT; INJECT IT.  THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO ENJOY YOUR ADDICTION…MANY FORMD AND KINDS AND A GOODLY SUPPLY FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD COMING INTO OUR COUNTRY…EVEN MADE LOCALLY IN A BASEMENT OR SHOP!  DOESN’T WHERE IT WAS MADE OR HOW, OR EVEN WHO HANDLED IT…

YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT’S IN IT…BUT IT’S DEADLY…AND IT CAN KILL YOU…AND THAT’S SATAN’S END GAME!

THE SUPPLY AND SALE OF ILLEGAL DRUGS IS BIG BUSINESS.  Millions and millions and millions of dollars are being made!  And millions of lives have been destroyed because of drug overdose.

Some said over 70,000 people died of drug overdose in 2018 in the U.S.  Millions more are addicted and their lives are hell…this is truly the culture of death…and you can’t sugar-coated it and pretend otherwise.

Only the return of the Messiah, Jesus Christ can fix the problem…man has tried and will continue to try, but can’t.  It will get worse before it gets better.  It’s a world problem and under the power of the prince of this age.

God created all things in order.  Nothing that was made was not made without Jesus, the Word of God…In the Beginning.  History has reached its fullness.  Just as in previous centuries since the beginning of the Church, God the Father has been calling people to His Son by the Holy Spirit.  When that number reaches the last human being to be saved on earth, then God will tell His Son to go get the Church.  And thar will be the Rapture!

Perhaps soon, I don’t know, Jesus shall come out of Heaven with the shout of the Archangel and the trumpet call of God…

Then those who are asleep in Christ (who have died in Christ) shall rise from their graves at the resurrection with immortal, imperishable bodies just like that of Christ…then we Christians who are alive shall be changed in the twinkling of the eye to immortal, incorruptible bodies and together we shall meet Christ in the air, above the clouds, and shall follow Him to Heaven…

And so shall we ever be with the Lord.  This is the blessed hope…the sure promise of Godin our salvation and forgiveness of our sins and eternal life forever and ever.

Let us pray for the calling of God on each and every heart today as possible whereby salvation shall be near.

May the season of Easter in celebration of the death of Jesus on the cross for the sins of the world; His burial; His mighty resurrection when He arose from the dead on the third day, and His ascension up into Heaven, be on our hearts and minds as we proclaim the love of Christ for the world and the mystery of Faith.

May God richly bless you in proclaiming the only name in Heaven and under Heaven when every knee shall bow and every mouth confess that Jesus is Lord and God.

For, it shall be so.

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, one GOD from the beginning and forever…

Amen and amen.

Praise God for this most blessed day, this Sunday before Ash Wednesday and a new time in God’s time to celebrate that special day, that awesome moment, that stupendous act when our Lord Jesus was transfigured from his earthly life to a transfigured body that He would have in glory.

He set the pattern for how the resurrected or translated life will be when we shall all be changed to be like Him!

Yes, there in the Gospels of Matthew (17:1-8), Mark (9:2-8), and Luke (9:28-36), and 2 Peter (1:16-18) about how Jesus took three disciples, Peter, James and John up to a high mountain, and there before their very eyes, His was transfigured: His face shone bright, His face and body was altered, and His cloths were white and glistering.as snow!

And next to Jesus there appeared two of the long dead prophets: Moses and Elijah in bodily form in glory.  And they talked with Jesus about His upcoming suffering and death that would take place in Jerusalem, and that He would be resurrected on the third day.    So why were Moses and Elijah there with Jesus for the disciples to see with their own eyes?

Because one, Moses, represented life after death (the resurrection), and the other, Elijah, did not die, but was translated into a glorified body and taken up to heaven by God.  So it will be at the Rapture of the Church, believers in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.  When we die, we “sleep” in Christ Jesus until we shall receive new bodies just Jesus has, for we shall be like Him and see Him face to Face.

Paul tells us how it’s going to happen in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18…

“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethen, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with Him.

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.

Then we which are alive and remain shall be “caught up” (raptured) together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”    

Luke 9:35-36: “And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

And when the voice was past, Jesus was found alone.” 

Jesus showed His three key disciples the future…what’s going to happen (perhaps soon?) to us, today, and our children and grandchildren and their children when we die or are alive when Jesus comes for us.

Therefore, I rejoice and believe and say it from my heart, with all my strength and with the blessings of God, to proclaim to all that this day, this most precious day we have seen a glimpse of our future in eternity with GOD, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

TRANSFIGURATION SUNDAY WHEN JESUS AND MOSES AND ELIJAH ON THE MOUNTAIN SHOWED THE FUTURE IN THE PLAN OF GOD.

Amen.

Brother Monk, why so sad?

I’m sad and mad, Father.

How so?

Well,  during my visit with my cousin in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’ he had tickets to what Americans call ‘The Army and Navy’ football game between these two branches of their military services.

Yes, and…said Father Monk…

Well the stadium was huge, and there must have been about 80,000 to 90,000 people packed in there, and it was cold and rainy…and the pageantry was spectacular with all the bands and cheergirls and the people cheering and yelling their heads off for their side!

And talk about patriotism, why, when those Army corps of cadets from West Point Military Academy,  and those Navy midshipmen from the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland marched in, the roar of the crown was incredibly spectacular! Then the teams came running on the field and the roar of the crowd intensified!

President Trump and several of his cabinet was there and also some of the top officers of both branches.  Then an Army chaplain took center stage to offer the Invocation prayer.

And it was a good prayer, and he mentioned God and prayed in His name (although which God or several gods he referred to so as to be neutral so as not to offend?), and with all those 80,000 plus people listening intently with heads bowed, and, as I later heard, the millions and millions of people across the U.S. watching the game on TV, why, the perfect moment of the year to proclaim Christ to the world was missed!

And this was intentional  because of the stupid, cowardly policy put in place for their armed forces so as not to offend the Muslims, Jews and all other sects or cults that our not Christians for fear of losing their job!  You can say Allah be praised, but don’t you dare mention Jesus! Oh, no, that would be strictly against policy!

And so Father Monk, I am mad, angry, me, an Englishmen, because of the cowards in the ranks! Those who are afraid to proclaim the name of Jesus for fear of retaliation! Don’t they know that no man, no words, no prayers come to Almighty God, our Father in Heaven except through Jesus Christ?  Do they even think their prayer was heard?

Well, I shall proclaim the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, our Lord and our God, the soon and coming KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, to reign on earth for a thousand years and forever.

I shall proclaim here and to America that Jesus Christ is Lord, who died for our sins, and that by confessing Him we are forgiven and have eternal life with Him.  Blessed be the name of GOD, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and all thanksgiving be to Him now and forever for all things, for all blessings, for His love, mercy and grace, and to all those, even the cowards of this past Army-Navy football game of December 2018 In the Year of our Lord+

Amen.
