“Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” Luke 23:34

Jesus’ cry to the Father was to “forgive” our sins so we could be one with He and the Father.

Is this our cry for the lost?

“While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”

“Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;” Ephesians 3:8

Just this week, a dear sister in Christ and I both sensed, remembered the many testimonies of our LORD Jesus has in our very day, repeatedly turned the seemingly vilest of militant sinners into saved, born agents of His heavenly kingdom! (2 Corinthians 5:17-20)

“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” Micah 6:8

May our LORD change our innermost disposition, that when we previously reacted in anger, upon seeing sinner commit crimes, we’d quickly hasten to lift them in prayer (Matthew 5:44).

ALL men are already condemned. Jesus came “to save them”:

“For the Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.” Luke 9:56

“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” John 3:17

If God had excecute His perfect justice upon me, before He was able to save this wretched soul, I’d be burning in hell where I deserved to be. Can you relate?

Let us never forget the most merciful cross of our bless-ed Savior who died for you and I, “while we were yet sinners.”

Let us be ever reminded….. That God is ever so merciful and “READY to forgive” – and otherwise we’d already be justly doomed:

“For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. … 15  But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.” Psalms 86:5, 15

If God dealt out justice, I’d be the first, the most wicked, depraved sinner slammed to the bottom of hell. Remember that Paul wrote the following words, BEFORE you and I were born and so he didn’t know the even worst sinners were still yet to be born. 😉

Remembering the great mercy of our God, of himself the apostle Paul, who was once Saul of Tarsus referred to himself as “less than the least of all saints” and the very “chief” of all sinners.

“This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.” 1 Timothy 1:15 


There are no organizations supporting this Gospel work. It’s only individuals who are born again disciples of our LORD who support His work. We only have to work with what you choose to give (2 Corinthians 9:6-11).

With very little money to use, we are dropping the Scripture-rich ministry books to both saints and sinners who are presently incarcerated. If you wish to help, your money will be the fuel to make this happen. Nearly daily there are these ministering blessing being sent out. Several more monthly supporters needed. Takes seconds.

The apostle Paul, who was hailing Christians to jail and to their death, now forever changed by Jesus, pens the following words:

“For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.” Romans 5:6-11

YOUR own life, my life, is the clear proof that God can change the hardest of hearts, the vilest of sinners. Let this ignite your fire to minister to the seemingly most distant sinners….

Yes, civil authorities are rightly in place by divine ordination “for the punishment of evil doers.” (1 Peter 2:13-14)  Yet Jesus gave us, His people, His divine command and authority and Holy Spirit to be His “ambassadors” who call all sinners to repent and be saved into His glorious eternal family (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 2:49; book of Acts; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20, etc.).

No one else can or will do our LORD’s work. God has invested this commission in His body. That’s us!

May the Lamb of God be magnified in the hearts and lives of His people today – to rejoice and communicate His great mercy by which we are now saved into His eternal family and commissioned to say “Come” to those who are not yet His.

“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.” Revelation 22:17

ALL men, every man and woman, is already condemned in their own sin (John 3:18, 36; Romans 5:6-9).

God has sent us to call them to Him – to repent and put their faith in Jesus Christ.

“And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.” 1 John 2:2

As evil as we think people are, we should keep in mind that since God is “Holy, holy, holy”, we are no less evil and depraved and separated from Him – outside of being blessed to be in Christ (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8). Now may God bless us to help others know of His great love!

Jesus died for them and He wants them!

“Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.” 1 Timothy 2:4

“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9

Ephesians 2:1-10

1  And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 

2  Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 

3  Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us

5  Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 

6  And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 

7  That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 

8  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 

9  Not of works, lest any man should boast. 

10  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. 

YOUR PRAYER: Holy Father, please forgive my wicked and evil heart that is at times hardened and full of hatred for the sinners You sent Your only begotten Son to die to save. Please teach me Thy ways and remove the stony places from this depraved heart. Grant that this heart be an heart of flesh, abandoned unto Thee my LORD – walking in the very mission You came to accomplish – to save sinners like me. Let Your divine mercy wash over and fill this heart. Reduce me to love. Please baptize this, Your vessel, with Your Holy Ghost now and use me dear LORD. In Jesus’ name.

AI TECHNOLOGY IS WHAT?

By Stacy Strother

AI TECHNOLOGY IS WHAT!?

The Bible doesn’t mention AI by name, but its warnings about deception, control, and false images in the last days speak directly to the dangers technology could bring.

Look at Revelation 13:14-15 (KJB):

“And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles… saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast… And he had power to give life unto the IMAGE of the beast, that the IMAGE of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the IMAGE of the beast should be killed.”

In the original Greek, “IMAGE” (eikon) means a likeness, simulation, or even an artificial representation. The text says this image is given “breath” (pneuma) so it can speak. Today, that sounds like AI—an artificial system that can “speak” and even influence or control people, becoming something people look to for answers or even authority.

REFUTE THIS PLEASE!

Jesus warned in Matthew 24:24 (KJV):

“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall DECEIVE the very elect.”

The Greek for “deceive” (planao) means to lead astray or seduce—exactly what can happen if the masses start trusting an AI system that doesn’t actually know truth, only what’s common or popular.

Almost sounds like cultish celebrity followings, right?

Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 3:1, 7 (KJB):

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come… Ever learning, and NEVER ABLE to COME to the KNOWLEDGE of the TRUTH.”

This describes our world—where knowledge explodes, but discernment and real truth get lost. AI can gather endless information but cannot provide spiritual wisdom, EVEN THOUGH, people will flock to it to get it!

Daniel prophesied in Daniel 12:4 (KJB):

“…Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”

The Hebrew word for “knowledge” (da‘ath) means skill and discernment, but today we see more INFORMATION than ever—without the FOUNDATION of truth.

All of these passages warn us: the last days will be MARKED by artificial IMAGES, persuasive DECEPTION, and overwhelming INFORMATION without wisdom.

AI fits right into this picture—a tool that could be used by the “beast system” to control, deceive, and subtly SHIFT doctrine AWAY FROM the truth.

AGAIN—It’s a reminder to walk in the Spirit and test everything by God’s unchanging Word, not by artificial intelligence.

Stay Blessed!
If you are not ready to meet the Lord, please call on Him today and then pray for wisdom and discernment!

Blessings!

Despicable Dogs and Stabbing Swine [podcast]


Matthew 7:6

“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.”

God’s wisdom is that you have to get rid of the “SCORNER” in order to get rid of the “STRIFE”.

“Cast out the SCORNER, and contention shall go out; yea, STRIFE and reproach shall cease.” Proverbs 22:10 

How do we know when someone has truly repented?

“… to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.” Acts 26:20

When someone has truly repented, their changed life will be full of the fruit of the Spirit.

“Bring forth fruits meet for repentance” simply means prove you’ve repented with the corresponding restitution of making things right (Matthew 3:7-10; Luke 19:8-9, etc.).

Luke 17

1  Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
2  It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.
3  Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
4  And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

“And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.” 2 Thessalonians 3:2

“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” Matthew 10:16

Jesus saw the heart and proof of Zacchaeus’ repentance and granted him salvation.

“And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. 9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:8-10

Rich in Faith [podcast]


“Them that Love Him”

——WHAT one temporarily has in this fleeting world or doesn’t have, has NOTHING to do with that person’s spiritual state. This is what Jesus taught: “Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.” (Luke 12:15) In fact James says:

“HEARKEN, MY BELOVED BRETHREN, HATH NOT GOD CHOSEN THE POOR OF THIS WORLD RICH IN FAITH, AND HEIRS OF THE KINGDOM WHICH HE HATH PROMISED TO THEM THAT LOVE HIM?” JAMES 2:5

James says God chooses those for His eternal kingdom “that love him,” namely “the poor of this world.”  We are justified by “faith” and not by what we do or do not temporarily possess in this fleeting life.

IF in your mind you rate people by what they have or don’t have in this fleeting sinful world, you are deeply deceived and in utter need of repentance and the washing of water by the Word of God. You are carnally minded (Romans 8:5-6).

Regrettably, it seems that most people professing to be following Christ, the One who gave all, are not the least bit concerned if their brother or sister has a need. God have mercy upon us and grant us repentance in Jesus’ Name! Are these people truly saved?

“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? 18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.” 1 John 3:16-19

“If we are in Jesus we have the unsearchable riches of Christ (Ephesians 3:8). Unfathomable (in our small minds), infinite wealth and spiritual blessings! Endless mercy, grace, and forgiveness. That is inexhaustible! Why do we need any worldly riches that will rot and corrupt our hearts!? Lay up in your hearts God’s riches! Which are eternal!” Karen Cochran

Some have tens of thousands in the bank and could care less to find out if a sister or brother has a need. The Bible assures us that they are not saved. If you have even a little to give and don’t, it’s because you simply have chosen not to know and abide in Christ.

“What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” James 2:14-17

The financial institutions and their salesmen are vying for your money. They want your money to invest so that you and they earn a financial gain in this life. Christians in need, orphans, and Gospel workers are also available to invest in. To help them is to invest in the LORD’s kingdom and be repaid dividends for eternity. Oh, and your heart will follow where you choose to place your money. Jesus says “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)

PRAYER: Holy Father, please break me and make me Your authentic follower. Jesus I love You. Let me walk as You walked, live as You lived, love as You love. Bless this life You gave to be truly crucified with You – dead, buried, and raised up – a vessel of honor for Your glory! In Jesus’ name.
