Jesus came after us! And sent us to go after them!!!
“FOR THE SON OF MAN IS NOT COME TO DESTROY MEN’S LIVES, BUT TO SAVE THEM.” Luke 9:56
“Amen! So very honored to be part of this ministry! The Lord hears the groanings of the Prisoner. Psalm 102:20. He promises to hear their cries.” Karen Cochran
“Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. 11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.” Isaiah 43:10-11
“The Lord has called us to ‘proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound’ Isaiah 61:1.” Karen Cochran
JESUS “DIED FOR ALL” (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)
“Lifting them up! Words of Jeffrey Dahmer: ‘I’ve since come to believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is the true Creator of the heavens and the earth…and I have accepted Him as my Lord and Saviour, and I believe that I as well as everyone else will be accountable to Him. I’ve come to believe the Lord Jesus is truly God.’ After this interview many asked if there were any limits on God’s mercy considering how barbaric his crimes were. A pastor who led him to Jesus said ‘I don’t know of any sins too evil for Christ’s blood to wash away.’ Amen to that!” Karen Cochran
SAINTS, we continue to hunt down sinners who are presently in jail and drop a heavenly blessing on them. ALL of us have sinned and are fully guilty before a holy God (Romans 3). These men and women are no exception – and Jesus wants them saved. God is “NOT willing that any should perish” (2 Peter 3:9). So, several times weekly we are dropping books into cold hard hearts that are presently incarcerated.
“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
Instead of getting upset, let’s evangelize! Jesus is the answer!
WHY did Jesus come?
“For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:10
“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
Are you a son of thunder or a son of mercy?
“But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” Matthew 9:13
Remember this?
“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.” Titus 3:5-7
When we act like the sons of thunder, our immaturity, our lack of understanding as to why Jesus came, is uncovered.
“And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. 53 And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. 54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? 55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 56 FOR THE SON OF MAN IS NOT COME TO DESTROY MEN’S LIVES, BUT TO SAVE THEM. And they went to another village.” Luke 9:52-56
May God’s Holy Spirit and Word get the best of us – and mature us – to see things, to see the people He died for through His loving eyes.
Okay, many of the men and woman in jail currently whom we minister to, send the Scripture-rich ministry books to, are already born again and in need of growing in the grace of our LORD Jesus (2 Peter 3:18). They are in a type of heavenly bootcamp, right? Boom. Isaiah 55:11
Feel free to fuel our LORD’s mission. We are Team Jesus.
“WE are labourers TOGETHER with God” (1 Corinthians 3:9).

Recently a currently incarcerated young man received the Born Again book and another book from the ministry. Apparently this led to his being saved. His aunt Cassandra just sent this:
“My nephew we’ve been praying for has received salvation! He’s also asking for more of your books ! I’m so thankful & happy Jesus is working on him ! What a magnificent gift. As Jesus said Salvation is a gift purchased by the blood of the Lamb. This has been a long road for my mother and I, as we watched Satan steal, kill & destroy his life! We never gave up on him & keep planting seeds into his life stayed in faith & prayers for him , as Jesus Christ said one plants a seed, another waters it, but only God gives the increase! Jesus came to seek and save those who are lost ! He also said he leaves the 99 to go after the one lost sheep! The prodigal son! Etc. I can’t wait until he’s out of prison to give his testimony! Todd can he come on your podcast & give his testimony? I’m telling you it’s a magnificent one! Thank you Todd for all your love, prayers, & your ministry. I’ll get the address today and text it to you ! You’re such a magnificent blessing to My family! Forever blessed and grateful that Jesus placed you in our lives! I have the best spiritual family on the planet!
Think about this: It’s the witness of Christ dwelling in His body, His people, as they administer His Word in His love, that leads lost souls to Jesus, right? That how you got saved? Probably. This is how God has brought most of His people into His kingdom. Isn’t this just like it happened with Phillip and the Ethiopian eunuch? (Acts 8)
Here’s the point: All lost souls are in the dark and therefore most will not pick up the Bible and start reading it, right? True. Well, they can’t understand it even if they do read it because it’s spiritually discerned, understood by those who are born again of the Author of the Bible (1 Corinthians 2:14).
So, after the witness of Christ’s saints is given to and erupts in the life of a sinner, they turn to the LORD and Jesus saves them, and now the Holy Spirit lives in that now saint and leads them to read the Word to grow in Christ.
Your witness is so very important beloved of God. He wants to use you to reach the lost lives.
Father, in Jesus’ holy name, please set my life apart and use me for Your eternal glory. In Jesus’ name, amen LORD.

Daily Prayer Guide [podcast]

Daily Prayer Guide
PRAYING EVERY DAY FOR:
THE BODY OF CHRIST
Here’s some of the biblical truth I personally pray daily for those disciples of Jesus on my prayer list:
- That God would take away the stony places in our hearts and grant us hearts of flesh – pliable, humble, teachable, worshipful, obedient (Ezekiel 36:24-26).
- That the LORD would unite our hearts to fear His holy name (Psalms 86:11).
- That He would bless us to stand perfect and complete in all the will of God (Colossians 4:12).
- That the LORD would fill us with His love and cause that love to be demonstrated through our lives daily in our interactions with others (1 Corinthians 13).
- That He would baptize and fill us with His Holy Spirit and use us powerfully for His eternal glory (Acts 1:8; 2:4, etc.).
- That God would quicken and give us His wisdom concerning fruitful stewardship of His resources He’s entrusted us with (Matthew 25:14-30, etc.).
- That we would be blessed to know Him in that oneness and abiding relationship He spoke of and prayed in John 15 and 17 – bearing fruit to His glory.
- That the LORD would teach us and bring us to be consummate soul winners as His ambassadors (Proverbs 11:30; 2 Corinthians 5:20).
- The our LORD will multiply His grace, love, and wisdom in our hearts (2 Peter 3:18; Romans 5:5; James 1:5).
- That God would increase our faith (Luke 17:5).
OUR LEADERS:
“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour.” 1 Timothy 2:1-3
OUR CITY:
“And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the Lord for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.” Jeremiah 29:7
GOD’S KINGDOM TO COME ON EARTH:
(Both today and the Millennial Kingdom when Jesus Christ reigns on earth for 1,000 years)
“Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10
GOD TO SEND LABOURERS INTO HIS HARVEST:
“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 9:37-38
THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM:
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.” Psalm 122:6
—— • ——
Also, Jesus gave His disciples a model for daily prayer which is an excellent starting place for each day.
“After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.” Matthew 6:9-13

Jesus will Judge Us by Our Works

By Glenn and Dezi Langohr
JESUS — JUDGED BY WORKS
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father… Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied…? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Matthew 7:21–23
Our works clearly reveal what is in our hearts! Fruit.
“For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.” Matthew 16:27
“…all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” John 5:28–29
“He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: *the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.” John 12:48
PAUL — CONTINUE IN GOOD WORKS
“Who will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life.” Romans 2:6–7
“For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.” Romans 2:13
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10
“…they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works.” Titus 3:8
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” 2 Corinthians 5:10
“…for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing…” Galatians 6:7–9
JAMES — FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD
“Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” James 2:17
“Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.” James 2:24
“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” James 2:26
PETER — BE HOLY, DO GOOD WORKS
“And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear.” 1 Peter 1:17
“Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.” 1 Peter 2:12
“Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.” 2 Peter 1:10
SUMMARY
Jesus said He will judge every man by their works (Matthew 16:27, John 5:29).
Paul taught that eternal life is for those who continue in well doing (Romans 2:7, Titus 3:8).
James declared faith without works is dead (James 2:17, 24).
Peter warned God will judge every man’s work (1 Peter 1:17) and exhorted us to abound in good works.
God’s people are called to endure to the end with living faith proven by works of obedience, love, and holiness.

To Walk in Love is of the Highest Priority to the LORD [podcast]

If we die without His love we will not be with Him above.
Jesus loved us and all His enemies, even under to death – for our, for the redemption of the world.
“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 (displayed) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:6-8
Our promised we, His people, will be persecuted as He was (John 7:7; 15:20, etc.).
“The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. ” John 7:7
“Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.” John 15:20
God commands that we walk in His love toward all men, including those who hate and persecute us.
“And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and
hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice
to God for a sweetsmelling savour.” Ephesians 5:2
To “walk in love” is of the highest priority to the LORD. Study
this important topic, asking God to fill you with His love and
all the corresponding fruit thereof (Galatians 5:22-23). How
can those who claim to know He who “is love” not walk in
His love? (See 1 John 4:8, 16.)
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of
angels, and have not charity, I am become as
sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I
have the gift of prophecy, and understand all
mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all
faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have
not charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all
my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my
body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth
me nothing. 4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind;
charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not
puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly,
seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked,
thinketh no evil; 6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but
rejoiceth in the truth; 7 Beareth all things, believeth
all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8
Charity never faileth.” 1 Corinthians 13:1-8
“Walking in God’s love requires the cross life. This takes dying to your flesh (Gal 2:20). Because our wicked flesh wants revenge. And will rise up in anger. Believing their attacks are personally against us. But when you are walking in the Spirit of God, Jesus will fill you with love for them. By loving them instead of looking for revenge we are showing them the character of Christ. We don’t need to retaliate. Because we see it is the Jesus in you they are attacking. And we are to rejoice in that! Matthew 5:12. I am beginning to see this manifest in my life. I don’t take their attacks personally anymore. Hallelujah. That can be debilitating in your walk with Jesus. And just keep you in anger! But through the cross you have victory and see them through the eyes of Jesus! And most importantly bless and pray for them!” Karen Cochran
Prayer: Father, You are love. Please fill my heart and life with Your love—to pour on others. In Jesus’ name, amen.
