“Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.” John 12:24-26
Greetings. It is with the utmost joy that we are spreading God’s Word effectively into the hearts of tens of thousands of souls monthly – to the saved (feeding His flock) and to lost souls who need Jesus.
The Gospel tracts are going out like a river and equipping many. There are many upcoming Scripture-rich resources under way including a new book titled Mercy, Mercy, Mercy, and a new believer’s booklet for making disciples of others.
Those who have given share in the treasure of healthy saved souls (well fed) and the conviction and salvation of many lost souls. We cannot do our part without you doing your part. We are not in this for the money (that would be insane).
“We seek not yours but you.” 2 Corinthians 12:14
Is the ministry work having an affect? Well, you decide. The preaching of God’s Word is getting responses, sometimes good and sometimes bad. Here are some of this week’s reactions:
Jesus gave all – What are you willing to give to see His saints fed and the lost saved?
Do we so vainly believe that the Almighty doesn’t see that we have extra (excess – more than we need) and other saints are without? Does He who is the Judge of our eternal souls not see how we have hoarded – refused to share with others?
“If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain;12 If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works?” Proverbs 24:11-12
What example did the earliest believers leave us?
“And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.” Acts 2:44-45
“And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. 34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,35 And laid them down at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.” Acts 2:32-35
Did you catch this?: “neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own”
Those who have are the privileged ones – to give to other saints who currently have a need. That’s why we work – “that ye may have to GIVE.” (Ephesians 4:28) Those who are called out of the LORD MUST answer that call.
For the record: I refuse to apologize to any mere man or devil for answering God’s call to be set apart to minister to His people. I do, however, question and wonder about those who would question such. I wonder where their heart would be – to be so cold and indifferent about the most important work in the earth. With all the evil in this world in this late hour and the great need for humanity to hear the only life-saving message, how is it that we do anything but get behind a work of Christ? How could we possibly “sit in the seat of the scornful” and mock or question those called out of God (Psalms 1)? Where is our heart? Should we not rather be applauding this obedience in answering the divine call and getting behind it?
“For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! ” 1 Corinthians 9:16
Is it okay that there are full-time plumbers, attorneys, insurance salesmen, medical personnel of all kinds, accountants and clerical workers? Is anyone at all complaining about full-time secular workers – people doing work infinitely less important than the eternal Gospel work? Not one. Yet, some, moved in their sinful heart by the evil one himself (accuser of the brethren), question whether those called-out of God are truly called out. Why? Many times it’s because they – those very accusers – are full of greed, serving money and not Christ, and do not want to be bothered with someone preaching on stewardship. Instead of helping, they attack. May the LORD deal with them according to their deeds.
The answer is not to question obedience to the infinitely most important and only eternal work of Christ, but rather to jump in and be a part of the solution!
Our stewardship reveals exactly where we are in abiding with Christ. Attempting to sweep this essential and litmus test truth under the rug will only frustrate the grace of God and hinder the work of Christ in our own lives and in the lives of others (Proverbs 28:13).
If we are saved then our money is saved. If we are under Christ’s rule, so are the resources He places in our hands.
The Bible instructs you to give to those who are truly feeding you (Galatians 6:6). They need your help and cannot be ultimately fruitful without your participation (1 Corinthians 9:1-14) Also, most of those they feed will never bother to help, so keep that in mind and do what is right – even if it hurts at times. God sees all and will reward you here and hereafter.
If you don’t like preaching on stewardship, you will not want to continue to receive this email. There will be no punches pulled. The left hook of hell, repentance, warning, the daily cross, and holiness, the right uppercut of mercy, grace, and love, and the overhand punch of stewardship and sanctification will not be spared. These are all essential, vital components of sound biblical truth/doctrine and we shall preach them unapologetically. This email is not for the moral coward who wants his ears tickled and refuses to “endure sound doctrine.” (2 Timothy 4:2-4)
We have no clue to the fear of God or Jesus’ teachings if we think an un-charitable rich person will enter Christ’s kingdom.
“And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that HAVE (simply in their possession) riches enter into the kingdom of God! 24 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” Mark 10:23-25
Do those that “have riches” not “trust in riches”? Selah (think long and hard about this).
True disciples of Jesus are called to follow Him and that would include to at times rebuke the rich as did Jesus, Paul, and James.
While it is so very true that God is our Provider, this does not negate the divine mandate for you and I to rebuke the rich – for the LORD’s sake and in His righteousness and NOT just because we have lack. Yet, regardless of whether or not we are currently abounding or abasing (in lack), we must do the LORD’s bidding nonetheless with no fear of mere men (Philippians 4:11-12; 2 Timothy 4:2).
God does put His watchmen in the midst of His people “to know and try (test) their way.” (Jeremiah 6:27)
As you know, the most severe warnings and rebukes from our LORD Jesus came to the rich and to the religious.
The work of the kingdom is greatly hindered by the greed of those touting the name of the One who gave all.
We have never had a problem with too much help. Also, as it was in Jesus’ day and the hour of the widow who gave her two mites – her all – so today, those with excess of monies, will not give. They are rich toward self and not “rich toward God.” Read Luke 12 and 16. Hell awaits!
Hate me for preaching the truth? You won’t be the first or the last – I wear the scorn of rebels as a badge of honor. – “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” (Galatians 4:16)
The Bible commands me to “Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.” (1 Timothy 6:17-19)
Most are fearful to preach what God says about the rich. They don’t want to offend the rich. But we are commanded to warn them strongly – just as Jesus did and Paul His apostle (1 Timothy 6:17-19.
A friend of mine who is a Christian and a doctor in the medical field came to have lunch with me this week. He was speaking for a while about earthly investments. Quickened by the Spirit and Word, I read him the above verses, warning him that he had better be rich in giving or he will suffer the loss of his eternal soul. Nothing could be clearer in Scripture.
Every time we spend money that God has put in our hands, we are demonstrating exactly what is important to us – and what’s not. The way we spend our money – steward money – is a direct reflection of the priorities of our hearts (Matthew 6:19-24). Seems to me that if we will faithfully give to God out of the very first portion of what we are gifted by Him to receive, our consciences will be clear and we will be able to enjoy spending the rest of that money (Proverbs 3:9-10).
“Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: 10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.” Proverbs 3:9-10
“Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.” Philippians 4:17
This ministry work is in great need of an endowment of sorts. Do we really think that if all the people we are blessed to feed were obeying God with their stewardship that we would still be in such need?
Of all the bank accounts in the nation, which ones deserve to have surplus? Our own, a secular company’s, or God’s ministry work treasury?
Is it time to cease pretending and put our money where our mouth is?
If we take care of God’s work, will He not take better care of our dealings than we could? (Matthew 6:33-34)
RUN FROM THIS IF YOU WISH BUT YOUR LIFE WITH CHRIST WILL NOT GO FORWARD UNTIL YOU LISTEN TO AND BECOME ACCOUNTABLE TO HIM IN THIS MATTER. His blessings will follow.
What is the LORD going to say to us on that terrible Day when we stand before Him to give account?
Have we made ourselves rich in this world while scoffing at His work and workers by refusing to sow into those works?
God is watching and will require this of us.
There are people reading this who have tens of thousands sitting in so-called “investments” instead of the true and eternal investment of God’s Word going forth.
Do you think I enjoy having to write these things? Not one bit but it’s obviously needed.
The LORD be praised for those 5-8 people who are giving. And may God quicken 5-10 more of you to begin giving on a regular basis.
Through the preaching of Christ’s kingdom message, slowly but surely, some are begin to be imbued with His revelation that His church is His called-out PEOPLE and not some physical structure some enterprising hireling is selling you on. If His kingdom is spiritual, and it is, then it’s getting His Word into the hearts of men and women and children that is the work of Christ, calling them to repent and edifying those already saved. Jesus never instructed, nor does He today sanction what is feigning (faking) to represent Him – namely in building physical edifices supposedly for His glory. Not one penny was collected in the New Testament to do such a thing. Instead “The ceased not to teach and to preach Jesus Christ” and “they that were scattered abroad went EVERYWHERE preaching the word.” (Acts 5:32; 8:4)
Those called-out to servant lead are called to build up, to equip, and to mature Christ’s saints in His Word to do His work (Ephesians 4:11-14). This would include teaching them to discern between the holy and the profane – that which is of God and that which is not (Ezekiel 44:23-24; Acts 17:11; Ephesians 4:14, etc.).
“It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35
Jesus taught and will hold us accountable for:
“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For WHERE your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Matthew 6:19-21
Those who give give to the LORD – the perfect One who uses imperfect vessels He has called out to do His work.

MINISTRY which pleases God is simply helping people know and grow in Christ for themselves – by the cross life and getting into HIS Word for themselves so they can follow HIM, not you! True ministry fosters in the hearers faith in God, not the preacher or local church organization! Read 1 Corinthians 2:1-5; 2 Corinthians 1:9; 3:5; 4:5.

“I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting (equipping, maturing) of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;” Ephesians 4:1-14

God Himself personally sends a “strong delusion” to all who do not love His truth so that they WILL believe lies. He greases their pole to hell. That’s how personally He takes it when people call Him a liar by not believing His Word.
“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12 that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” Colossians 2:8

Jose was given a stack of JESUS tracts after he said he wanted to evangelize.
Brother Juan passes by where Jose works for work daily and so that connection and fellowship is being put in place.
A FEW DAYS AGO: Sister Maria called for more JESUS tracts. She ran out as she is distributing hundreds per day. So our dear sister, thanks to you who are praying and supply…. was given a new jacket to keep her warm (pictured), food and drink to bring home for her living quarters, a fresh supply of JESUS tracts, some cash (Mexican pesos), and some Scripture that she as usual read out loud and devoured as I brought them up on my cell phone from the Spanish Bible (Reina Valera). God is good saints. May He be glorified in all you are doing to see the beloved people of Mexico reached with His bless-ed Gospel! You are refreshing His beloved saints.
LORD willing, I will be meeting again with our dear brother Juan this week to refresh him in fellowship etc.
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” James 1:27
Mexico: The Land where the Gospel of Jesus is Freely Received
“Freely ye have received, freely give.” Matthew 10:8
As we truly follow Jesus He makes us fishers of men.
“And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.” Mark 1:17
This was the sweetest couple ever as you can tell by the picture. They were overjoyed to receive the preaching of our LORD’s Gospel and were told how to be saved – repentance and faith in Christ, and showed the prayer on the back, etc. They were directed to the prayer on the back and exhorted to pray in repentance and faith and receive eternal life. When asked they said they’d welcome your prayers for them.
On the streets today in Mexico ministering our LORD Jesus’ Gospel to many. As usual the name of Jesus was preached in Christ’s love and it was readily, eagerly received by most who thanked us for giving them the Gospel. SMH. It’s no even fair!
A man name Jose was ministered to, received the Word, and prayed in repentance and faith to be saved! Would you like to lift our new brother in Christ in prayer? Jose Patron is his name and we are connected and he’s already been given more Scripture and added to the Spanish WA group.
Jose just sent me a voice recording saying Thank you to Mark and I for ministering Jesus’ Gospel to him and that he wants to do the same thing we are doing, minister to others our LORD’s Gospel.
Here’s a clip of brother Mark ministering.
“So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.” Acts 19:20
“The food looks healthy. Just this morning I was thinking that it is unfathomable, in my mind, to comprehend what the Lord is doing in Mexico. I watched the video of Mark passing out Jesus tracts and everyone was so receptive. That stuck in my mind, because I recently watched a video of a man preaching the gospel on a train. Zero response! Everyone kept looking at their phones and never once looked up. This is the true state of America. We have need of nothing and especially not Jesus. Rev 3:17. As opposed to the precious people of Mexico who know they are poor in spirit and are in need of the Lord to save them. They know something is missing in their lives. When Mark was passing out those Jesus tracts people were very happy and joyful to receive them, here they are rejecting the Savior.” Karen Cochran
We went to a colonia, to a street where no one was outside at the moment, Brother Mark said “God sent us this way for a reason, for someone.” 30 seconds later we came upon Jose! Boom.
Then came the Gospel explosion!
Upon ministering Christ’s Gospel to him, Jose Patron excitedly shared with brother Mark and I about how God had saved him from dying. He simply needed the opportunity to repent and be saved – and that’s exactly what JESUS did. Thank you for lifting our beloved brother Jose in prayer.

Thank you for lifting the salvation of the people of Mexico in your prayers. | Mexico Mission
“I love this brother! May God continue to provide and increase his fruit in the lives of the disciples in Mexico, in the Philippines, in Pakistan, in Kenya, in all his earth for his glory! Amen.
I was reading Psalm 8 and John 10. Beautiful beyond understanding is God’s love poured out in Christ Jesus toward us who hear his voice!
Much love to the body of Christ in Mexico and throughout the whole world. Jesus is coming!
Love brother Jon.”
“EVERY person you meet, or stand next to in line, is an opportunity to share the Good News. Do not miss the opportunity to bring another into the Kingdom.

Your prayers coveted for the people of Mexico to be saved (Ps 2:8).
After receiving the ministry of God’s Word, Antonio was asked if he wanted you to lift him in prayer. He eagerly accepted and is glad you will pause to lift his life to the LORD in prayer. | Mexico Mission
ON THE TOPIC OF MEXICO
The Mexican people never handed their country over to the government so that the government can take it away the government cannot take it away because
Historically and presently the Mexican people find a way to circumvent the government. They never let the government have control and therefore the government can’t take their freedom away – because the people recognize their freedom coming from God.
The tax money of the people is a large way that the government controls the people they are empowered by the riches of the people through taxes in order to control and exploit them endlessly. Your tax money fuels your slavery….
Mexican people have a very healthy dis-trust for government. This is unlike many Americans. Many Americans it seems, haven’t learned that the promises candidates make before an election, will nearly never carry them out when elected. It seems the “We’re going to release the epstein files” was a mere ruse to cover those secret files. “It’s all a big club, and you’re not in it.” George Carlin
Thank you for praying for this man, Juan. He received ministry today and is in need of being saved.
