To: Pastors, Church Leaders, and other readers around the world!

God’s Peace!
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
These words of our Lord are on my heart and mind this morning as I write this letter. So many portions of scripture assure us that the Lord is in control of our lives. Even today as the USA has the presidential elections, we know that the Lord is in control. He is watching over us and the whole world. We as individuals may not get our own way at the moment, but we know according to scripture… And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28 (KJV)
We have such an Almighty God in control! Even though we have setbacks in this life, there is such a bright beacon of hope waiting for those that love God. This life may be racked with pain and sorry, but eternity is forever. This life is at best up to 100 years long or so. This is just a flash compared to eternity! Imagine dear reader, Glory in Heaven forever! No sorry, no sadness, no pain there, only joy and gladness! We cannot even compare. In our best imaginations, we cannot know how wonderful heaven will be because it will be so much better than we can picture!
So now when we look at the country we live in, remember the words of our Lord:
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chron. 7:14 (KJV) As the USA turns more and more away from God, as the Children of God did in the old testament so many times, we have this promise to trust, that He will forgive them if they repent. Pray this for each of your countries. If the people would repent and believe the Gospel, and live according to HIS WORD, they will be blessed. Pray this also for the USA, which has been drifting further away from God for many years now. The Lord has blessed the USA so much in the past, because the people believed in Him. As they turn away from God they become hardened and cannot see God and His Promises clearly anymore.
So dear pastors and dear Christians everywhere, do not weary! Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 2 Tim. 4:2 (KJV)
The Lord Jesus Christ came for all, even our leaders that do not trust and believe in him. This is why the believer is here on this sinful earth still during this time of grace. To spread the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ! In Romans 10:14 is says: How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
The Gospel of Luke says in Ch.24 v47: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
This is the glorious Gospel that must be preached for all to hear! Call out dear Christian, be a watchman on the tower! Blow the trumpet! Thousands are dying each day. Oh, that they could hear, repent, and believe according to scriptures, that all their sins are forgiven by and through the Name and precious shed blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The perfect atoning work that HE has done! He died on the cross for me! He died on the cross for you! He died on the cross for all! He has conquered all. He has won the VICTORY over death, hell, and the power of the devil. He is ALIVE! He arose on the third day! He ascended into heaven! He LIVES! Oh that we could all be even more aware of the fact that we worship a LIVING GOD! The LIVING GOD is in control of all things! What a comfort for the believer today!
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. Jude 1:24-25 (KJV)
May God Truly Bless Your day and week!
