“God bless your work and keep you and your team safe always.” Rosemary


“Your book Moments with our Master just reinforces that statement as each time I started my day reading it that day was full of blessings! Daniel (he’s here in Mexico and was the first one saved after I arrived here. Recently Daniel and Justin were water baptized and are growing in grace) | Update: Water Baptism of Brothers Daniel and Justin [ video ]


“Thank you so much for this update. I always feel so blessed to hear of all the Lord is doing in the hearts of the beloved people of Mexico. Blessed to be even be a small part of what the Lord is doing! Praying everyday for these precious people and for you. You are very blessed, by the Lord, to be able to minister to these dear ones whose hearts are so pure and open to receive.” Karen Cochran


The LORD is saving souls weekly in the ministry teaching to the group in Florida with sister Teri Guadalupe.

Also, this just in from PA with brother and sister Thomas and Karen Cochran:

“Kingdom breaking news! Three more saved in the home today! One guy is probably in his 40’s and it looks like he had a Stroke. He came in very hungry. Hung on every word Tom spoke. He prayed the prayer on the Jesus tract and his whole countenance completely changed. Hallelujah!”


HERE IN MEXICO ….

Miracle!
Thank you for lifting up beloved Susanna in prayer!

WHILE searching for a certain location on google maps, navigating unsuccessfully, and not finding that location, as I drove very slowly down a side street, a distinguished lady in her 40’s just happened to be exiting her vehicle. With windows down, and her being right by the passenger window I smiled and gave a Jesus tract and told her that “Jesus died for our sins and rose again from the dead.” She stopped dead and look at me and the tract and back at me….. she was dumbfounded and I still don’t know why…. apparently she had cried out to God and HE was answering her prayer. Tears were flowing from her eyes. She couldn’t believe it as she was told that it’s all about relationship with JESUS and not religion and that He loves her.

As you will see in the picture below, Susanna’s countenance went from depressed to delighted. She knew God heard her cry and answered it.

Just before this all happened, as I drove through the tight streets of a beautiful Mexican neighborhood, I saw a small family-owned bodega (store) and stopped to buy a fresh supply of eggs, vegetables and fruit (organic!). All this played right into the timing of Susanna’s and my paths crossing. It was nothing short of a miracle. God heard this woman’s cry and HE was answering.

WHEN God allows misroutes may He bless us, His people, to be tempered in these matters and trust that He is leading us. Proverbs 3:5-7, right?

“The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.” Psalms 37:23

Jesus please help us to hear Your voice in Your leadings of our lives You gave. I am all Yours LORD, have Your way in me!

***Lots of ministry is flowing and the Jesus tracts and the Word being spoken, being distributed this way—as paths cross the way Susanna’s and mine did. In Mexico, in the towns, this is a conducive way to also minister. EVERYONE receives and thanks you for speaking the Word of Christ to them and giving them a Jesus tract! These people and their receptivity to our LORD’s Gospel will spoil God’s people in their evangelism.

Oh and NO one is ever asked to hold up the JESUS tract but as you can see so many here do so, as they are overjoyed to receive the Gospel!

Oh and I don’t think it’s a sin…. for someone reading this to say “I want to fund this precious woman having a nice warm meal, hot cup of coffee, and fresh water!” If that’s you, go here to Support | Mission Mexico.

Every member of the body of Christ who is involved in the Great Commission work, is laying up eternal treasure in glory! What will be your reward? (Matthew 6:19-21)


Pictured below is this lovely lady who was in need of some warm food and hot coffee with water.

When we are blessed to feed the hungry here, they are told “This is for you, a gift from our LORD Jesus and the members of the body of Christ. You are loved. Jesus and His people love you!”


From sister Karen Cochran:

“It seems the Lord gave me this, concerning Mexico, as I was reading His Word this morning. Acts 13:44-49

We sure can see there is a huge explosion of the Word of God in the beloved people of Mexico. Just as there was in the book of Acts. When the gentiles heard the gospel message, it brought them joy, and they glorified the Word of the Lord and believed in Christ. Then the gospel message was published (spread) throughout all the region.

It could be said, the Jews who in these verses are rejecting the gospel are like America. They are full of pride and see no need of anything, and especially not salvation.

The Beloved Mexicans are the gentiles who rejoiced when they heard the Words of the Lord (gospel message). They actually gloried in them. And believed in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour! The Mexican people see their need for something beyond themselves. They are poor  spiritually and know it. Unlike the Americans who are spiritually dead and do not see their need. Their pride and riches has blinded their hearts.

This also includes those who proclaim the name of Jesus. They are also spiritually dead but believe they are alive. We live in the days of Noah telling people get on board the ark of Christ. But the message is rejected.

I rejoice every time you share these testimonials of the precious people of Mexico. It fills my heart with such joy. I think why would anyone not want to be a part of what God is doing in this great nation. The word of God is being spread throughout all the region! Hallelujah! I am grateful we are a small part of it!”


MINISTRY calls for much opportunity to pray from the body of Christ. We are all part of our LORD’s Great Commission work. In his ministering and travels, the apostle Paul said that “Satan hindered us” (1 Thessalonians 2:18). HE also said that because Christ’s body prayed, that “the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,” was poured out to the success of Christ’s kingdom blessings in his ministering.

“For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,” Philippians 1:19

Boom!

“WE are labourers TOGETHER with God.” 1 Corinthians 3:9

In fact Paul requested that the disciples of Christ pray for him and those who ministered with him and promised that as they did, “the word of the Lord” would “have free course” or unhindered flow into the hearts of the people Jesus came to die for.

“Finally, brethren, PRAY FOR US, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:” 2 Thessalonians 3:1


WOULD you like to pause and lift our new friend, a brother in Christ in prayer? This is Vicente.

Our LORD is moving all over HIS world upon the hearts of men and women. Today, so far, 2 individuals who received Gospel ministry wept with tears flowing down their face. The first was bless-ed Vicente. It was a miracle that we crossed paths. After parking my vehicle wand walking a lengthy distance to do some Gospel work, I was lost as far as trying to find my vehicle. So, God was leading. I walked past Vicente’s beautiful restaurant and stumbled because I was looking at the beautiful architecture across the street. And Vicente, whom I didn’t even see, said something like “be careful, lots of people stumbled on that ridge.” We began conversing and in the conversation he said “God bless you.” I then began ministering the Word of our God to Him and he immediately began to weep. In the pic, taken minutes after that, you can still see the tears in his eyes. God is good and we traded contact data and I am going to go eat at his restaurant, etc.

Jesus is King. YOU are full of His Spirit and His ambassador, beloved of God (2 Corinthians 5:17-20).

He texted this to me after I left: “Thank you friend God is good and seeing you was a gift from my Lord Jesus.” Vicente


Your prayers for the beautiful people of Mexico are being heard, answered by our great God and King Jesus!
Matthew 9:35-38 anyone?

The Harvest Is Plentiful, the Laborers Few

“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” Matthew 9:35-38

Jesus’ Counsel to the Lukewarm [podcast]


Laodicea: How Jesus Instructs the Backslidden to be Restored

Jesus’ Letter to the Church at Laodicea

“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

15  I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 

17  Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 

18  I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 

19  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. 

20  Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 

21  To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. 

22  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. 

The cross, the crucified life is the cure to the curse of sin—sin dominating our lives.

Romans 6

Inflation is part of the judgment of God upon a wicked people, nation. We see such in Sodom and in Laodicea (Ezekiel 16:49-59; Romans 1; Revelaton 3:14-22).

“It appears that in this scarcity each might be able to obtain a bare subsistence by his daily labor; but a man could not, in such cases, provide for a family.” Adam Clarke

Your money doesn’t go far….. inflation

“Revelation 6 describes the opening of the first six seals, which represent God’s judgment, often called the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The third seal, broken by a “black horse,” is interpreted to show hyper-inflation and famine, where a day’s wage (a denarius) buys only a quart of wheat. The judgment includes a command to preserve the oil and wine, which some interpret as luxury goods, while essential food becomes scarce and expensive.”

“6:5, 6 In obedience to the third living creature, a rider holding a set of scales came forth on a black horse. This represents famine, which often follows war. A voice in the middle of the four living creatures announced that wheat and barley were being sold at prohibitive prices. The scales were used to weigh the rationed grain and were thus a symbol of famine. The expression do not harm the oil and the wine is difficult. Some say that these were the food of the poor. If they were staple items, then they must be protected in order to preserve life. It seems more likely, however, that the luxury items of the rich are contemplated here: historically, even in famine the rich can get some luxuries.Believer’s Bible Commentary

The only thing needed to go to hell is to not be on fire for Jesusto be “lukewarm” (Revelation 3:15-16).

Jesus instructed the Laodicean church… to obtain, to “buy of me….

“3:18 The people were counseled to buy from the Lord gold refined in the fire. This may mean divine righteousness, which is bought without money or price (Isa_55:1) but received as a gift through faith in the Lord Jesus. Or it may mean genuine faith, which when tested in the fire, results in praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ (1Pe_1:7).

Also the people were counseled to buy white garments, that is, practical righteousness in everyday life. And they should anoint their eyes with eye salve, that is, gain true spiritual vision through the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit. This counsel was especially appropriate, since Laodicea was known as a center for banking, textiles, and medicines—especially eye salve.” Believer’s Bible Commentary

“Revelation 3:18
I counsel thee – O fallen and deceived soul, hear Jesus! Thy case is not hopeless. Buy of me.
Gold tried in the fire – Come and receive from me, without money and without price, faith that shall stand in every trial: so gold tried in the fire is here understood. But it may mean pure and undefiled religion, or that grace or Divine influence which produces it, which is more valuable to the soul than the purest gold to the body. They had before imaginary riches; this alone can make them truly rich.
White raiment – Holiness of heart and life.
Anoint thine eyes – Pray for, that ye may receive, the enlightening influences of my Spirit, that ye may be convinced of your true state, and see where your help lies.” Adam Clarke

Warning

“Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” Revelation 16:15 

Coming forth as Purified Gold

“But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” Job 23:10

To “come forth as gold” refers to the finished product, where gold has been purified of all its impurities.

“That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:” 1 Peter 1:7 

“The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts.” Proverbs 17:3 

Idolatry is Sin

Putting, having anything or anyone before Christ in our lives is the soul damning sin of idolatry. Such a person has rejected Christ for something, anything else.

One such idol, one such cause today is patriotism for one’s earthly country. See Hebrews 11:14-16.

SO, you are fighting to save America (impossible) and not see souls saved for and by Jesus? Yet you claim to be following Christ who said “I MUST be about my Father’s business”? See Luke 2:49. You are deceived and in need of repentance before it’s too late. You left your “first love” and are in sin, in darkness (Revelation 2:4-5).

And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. 33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. 34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. 35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.”  Daniel 11:32-35

“Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.” Daniel 12:10

PRAYER: Father in Jesus’ name, please grant to my heart Your gift of repentance and the deep desire to have Your righteousness, to not be deceived by sin, Satan, or counterfeits and false teachers. Please forgive all my sins afresh, here and now by Your precious blood LORD Jesus. Unite my heart to fear Your name. Fill me with Your Holy Ghost and use me LORD. In Jesus’ name, amen.

“You Who are Troubled Rest with Us” [podcast]


Many instill fear in Christ’s saints concerning these last days. Paul says: “You Who are Troubled Rest with Us” 

“Rest with us” because Justice is Coming

2 Thessalonians 1:3-10

3 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

4  So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

The Judgment at Christ’s Coming

5  Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

6  Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

7  And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

8  In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

9  Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

10  When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

Divine “vengeance” is coming “vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:” (v8)

Remember, while He instructed us not “avenge,” He also promised that “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”

“Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” Romans 12:19

We shall rejoice to see the LORD retribution come upon the wicked.

“The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. 11 that a man shall say, 11 1  So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.” Psalms 58:10-11

The Happenings just before Christ’s Soon Return

Luke 21:25-28

“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” Luke 21:25-28

Being Prepared for His Return

Luke 21:34-36

“And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.” Luke 21:34-36 

Walking unwavering with and suffering with Christ and His body now – as we look forward to being with Him!

“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” Romans 8:18

The LORD knows all before it happens and He’s not surprised of anything. God is going to use all these things to conform His people to Christ. Remember, all things are not good but God takes them and uses them to conform us to Christ, to be “crucified with Christ.” (Galatians 2:20).

“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. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.” Romans 8:28-29

This truth has never been so relevant saints of Christ and the signs of the season of His return are at hand. He’s coming for you precious one!!!! Rescue mission!!! The Return of Heaven’s KING

May God allow us to preach in such a way as to cause His people to begin to be homesick for Heaven to be with Him.

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9

I wonder how full our hearts will be as we become nourished up in His Word concerning Heaven. Will our hearts not burst forth and be filled with excitement, overflowing with joy like before we go on a vacation, the anticipation filling our hearts as we eagerly await being with our glorious Savior and Father? Read John 14:1-6 and Revelation 21.

Calling on the name above all names today. He’s the Maker and Controller of His whole universe and He’s coming back soon to retake control of it all – to decisively, violently put down all of His enemies both demonic and human (Colossians 1:16-17; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Revelation 19:11-16).  

No matter what’s going on – good or bad – WE KNOW that the song is true …. that our “God is so good, God is soooo gooood, God is so good, He’s so good to me…..” … There’s NO way to sing this simple song of praise and not get happy in Jesus! Impossible.

Our LORD Jesus is coming to establish His perfect Government on His earth. Stand by. Occupy. Rejoice. Look up. “Your redemption draweth nigh.” (Luke 21:28).

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.” Isaiah 9:6-7 

We can be sure that mankind is fallen and cannot solve his own problem – which is sin against His Maker. Only the Prince of Peace, our LORD Jesus, can do so…. and He will (Isaiah 9:6-7).

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Luke 2:14

He is going to crush His enemies under His feet (Romans 16:20; 2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Revelation 19:11-16; 1 Corinthians 15:25, 27).

PRAYER: Holy Father, in the name of Jesus, please break me, cause me to be truly poor in spirit with a humble, contrite heart of flesh. Please grant a deep compassion in me dear LORD Jesus as You conform me to Your holy image in the crucified life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Maria the Evangelist – Mission Mexico is now supporting Maria the Evangelist [VIDEO]


Picked up a portion of the 10,000 JESUS tracts in Spanish. Thank God and you who gave! YOU made this happen.

“So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.” Acts 19:20

“God is the Lord of the harvest! And there is a great harvest in Mexico because the fields are white ready to be harvested! And now He is bringing forth Laborers!” Karen Cochran

“That is a powerful ministry. May the Lord bless her and your ministry efforts. Praying for this outreach.” Stacy Strother

The fervor, the fire that burned in me a few days ago is perhaps due to this opportunity, now that sister Maria and others have been added to us to support….. we are in a war for the souls of men saints. Thank you for praying saints. The LORD is doing His work in the hearts of men in Mexico.

“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21  Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20

On this topic, for your exhortation and edification, feel free to listen to the recent podcast titled LORD Please Prepare and Send Me! [podcast].

The members of the body of Christ came through and we have the money needed to print the first round of 10,000 JESUS tracts.

Keep in mind that the ministry is also supporting brother Allan Abayon in the Philippines as he ministers God’s Word to the Philippino people.

God is able saints.

Please excuse the zeal. Sometimes I err when wanting to make sure we, as Christ’s body, properly, to well support the ministers of Christ He is giving us to support. When you see the video of Maria in action, you will see the blessing and opportunity God is giving us. And this is all because you prayed as Jesus instructed, for “the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.”

“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36  But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. 37  Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38  Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” Matthew 9:35-38

Have been visiting sister Maria nearly every early evening to give her a big hug, to bless her, to feed her food with cold water, and replenish her supply of the JESUS tracts. In distributing our LORD’s Gospel, Maria misses nearly no one. There’s a constant flow of foot traffic where she ministers and she has a stack of JESUS tracts she keeps replenishing on the store counter that is right there when people check out. Even while we were there last night, the stack diminished visibly.

Today, I picked up a few thousand of the JESUS tracts in Spanish. Next week they will have to have the balance ready to pick up. You made this happen saints! See 1 Corinthians 3:6-9. 10,000 JESUS tracts…..

  1. It lasts longer, and
  2. because printing is more cost effective.

When visiting Maria, she is smiling and moving about so swiftly that it’s actually difficult to get good pics of her in action. She is in her zone, in her JESUS zone! Thank you for lifting up in prayer our dear sister in Christ who is one of His “labourers”! (Matthew 9:35-38) YOU prayed and God is answering!

Juan the evangelist!

Maria the evangelist!

And several more!

WHEN we hand out Gospel tracts today, let the recipients see Christ’s love, joy, and peace beaming in and through your life.

Evangelism God’s Way

We also have Spanish Bibles on the way here which some of your have graciously mailed to us. There’s going to be shipping costs when they arrive. Another great kingdom opportunity!

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:14

Recently, and on several occasions, because you care, we were able to feed several people, including sister Maria. There’s no telling how long it’s been since she had eaten. She didn’t ask, we asked her and went to get food and water for her (and a few homeless men who also were ministered to) with the Gospel and with food, and cold water to refresh her soul.

    


“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:10
