Dear Father in Heaven: I love You! Please forgive me of any sins I may have done, known or unknown to me. I pray for traveling protections for a family heading on a big trip. Also, Lord, for those from St. Katherine Drexel that are traveling in Rome. Lord, I pray for the families of those lost in the mass shooting and also for those who were injured. Lord, please heal the four year-old with cancer. Please, dear Lord, protect Israel our homeland. Lord, I will need help as always with a message and sure will appreciate this on our Salvation Wednesday. Please also help me to get it dispatched so it might lead someone to You. In Jesus' Name I give praise and say thank You. Amen.
Dear brothers and sisters. I do not have a name on the four year-old with cancer. I will try and get it. I think they are from Ohio. Also this year as I post prayers for those traveling I am not going to list names until people are safe back home. This is for security reasons. And it is Salvation Wednesday, and yes, everyday we should be working on Salvation. The mass shooting was in Israel which is our homeland.
Note, yesterday we attended the funeral service of Glenn Gamber. The church was packed and I want to thank Pastor Larry Hale for doing a wonderful service for the family which included an ALTAR call, and yes, there were people who came to Christ. Amen.
Salvation Wednesday: June 8, 2016: A Few Promises (Day Three)
James 5:13-16 - Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make a sick person well, the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. (NIV)
Jeremiah 30:17 - But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord. (NIV)
Let me address James. Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. How many of us pray when we are in trouble, but when we are going along pretty well we do not pray as we should? (Please note I said us, meaning me along with you.) I am guilty of this often, more often than I should be. How many of you when happy are singing out for Him? (Or making a joyful noise?) I love to sing but admit that I do not like it like I did at one time. I really enjoyed singing at the funeral yesterday. Great songs. "When the Roll is Called Up Yonder" and "In The Garden" Moving on. Is any one of you sick, you are to call on the elders of your church to anoint you with oil. Do you do that? Now we must remember the prayers must be offered up in faith and we must also remember that God heals according to His will land not ours. Sometimes this is hard to understand. The Bible also tells us we are to confess our sins to each other and this will help with the healing. I want to put a note in right here. We have Jesus to confess our sins to, and sadly today if you talk to others about your sins, you might have them used against you. We who have faith and believe have a direct line to Jesus, and once you are forgiven those sins are covered with the Blood of Jesus and are cleared.
How many times have you prayed for healing and were healed? How many times has God healed you and you did not even know you were sick? Think about that one for awhile. I am healed of cancer!! Praise God, Praise God! What has God healed in you? Some people think God does not heal, so let me add this. While a doctor can set a bone in place, who heals it so it grows back together? Yes, God does that. My dear friend Grant caught his hand in a saw, the doctor stitched it, but it is God who is causing the skin to heal. Please trust God in all you do. Also please remember you must do your part. And what is your part? For another day. So how does an old man share God on a windy day? Used my scooter and pulled trash cans off the street of those not at home. You can work for God each day and the very best way is letting your JESUS LIGHT SHINE.
Now go forth sharing Jesus, telling others of His saving grace. Again I do want to share this. You are welcome to share with others what I write. I do not add disclaimers like, if you send it to so many people and one back to me God will bless you. God is going to bless you regardless of what I tell you if you just stay with Him. He, not I, is in charge of blessings. Love ya.

Monday 6/6/16 A Few Promises 2
Dear Father in Heaven: I love You very much. Please forgive me of my sins. Please, Lord, be with each one on this line. Be with Judy who is going into the Marines and keep her safe, strong and in love with You. Thanks, Lord, for our veterans and for our current military. Please protect all those who are serving this country including all branches of the service, our police, firefighters and first responders. Lord, I pray that more and more people come to You, and I pray also that more and more people work Your fields of Harvest. Please, Lord, help me to work for You each day in some way. Please help me now with the daily message and then to get it dispatched. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.
Dear brothers and sisters. It has been a beautiful day here at the Southern Location of the North Pole. I must send for more "Read N Grow" children's Bibles as we are down to two in stock. I gave two away in a parking lot this morning. Also today we received our first of our "First Responders Bibles" which we will have in our car. They are the King James Expositors New Testament Bibles. Thanks to all who responded to my last message and thank you so much for your prayers. Now to the message.
Monday: June 6, 2016: A Few Promises (Day Two)
Malachi 3:6 - I the Lord do not change. (NIV)
Hebrews 13:8 - Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. (NIV)
Brothers and sisters, if we truly love Jesus we will find out that He is the only one in our lives who does not change. Everyone else changes, everything else changes.
Last Sunday a group of people heading into their church noticed this man laying on the sidewalk just outside the church doors and this man looked bad. He looked like he did not have a bath for a month and smelled a little "gamey" and a tad like booze. People walking up the walk walked around him and went on into their big church. They all seemed excited for indeed this was the first day for a new pastor and they were excited to meet him. The choir came out and sang, and those in charge lit the candles, but the new pastor had not arrived. Talk started about traffic or did he get lost. The church lay leader was getting ready to preach when this man who was laying outside slowly walked up to the front of the church. He took off the blanket he had over him to protect him from the night air and walked up to the pulpit. In a loud voice he said, "GOOD MORNING, I am Pastor John Smith, and I am your new pastor. Let me get started. I see we have a lot of work to do at this church."
Brothers and sisters, I heard that story years ago, but let me tell you there are churches like that out there. If you are going to a church where that could happen I suggest you RUN and find another church.
Each morning as we get up we need to talk to God and know we are going to change some and know He is not. I pray that we all change for the better. How would you handle something like that story I just told you? Think about it. Years ago when Dolores and I traveled mostly by motorcycle, we often stopped at different churches along the way. I can remember how people would look at us as we walked in wearing leather jackets and carrying the helmets. Also some would get nervous as we would raise our hands in praise to the Lord or give a shout "AMEN" once in awhile. Tomorrow morning I want you to look in the mirror and tell the face looking back at you that "you love them." Why would I tell you that? Because God wants us to Love Him and He also wants us to love our neighbors as ourselves. So brothers and sisters, you can see it is okay to love yourself.
Dear Father in Heaven: You made us a promise that You will not change. Please help us to change for the better and grow in You each day. Thanks for helping us today. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.
Now go forth, changing for the better and sharing the love of Jesus along the way. Love ya.

Salvation Wednesday 6/1/16 A Few Promises
Dear Father in Heaven: Thank You for all things. Thanks for the rain and sunshine all coming at once today, and thank You for the Sonshine that is always with us. Please help us to open the windows of our hearts so that the Sonshine can get in. Please, dear Lord, give strength to Marie Gamber and her family as Glenn has graduated into Heaven. God, thanks for Your Son Jesus and thank You, Jesus, for the blood You shed for each of us. And thanks for the Holy Ghost who has entered into my heart. Please place Your healing hand on Dolores and protect her from pain and also from falling. I love You, Jesus, and even though I am unworthy, I seek forgiveness of my sins and also my daily mess-ups. Please, Lord, please help me with the message and also help it get dispatched. In Jesus' Name, I pray. Amen.
Dear brothers and sisters, I am so sorry that I am hit and miss on my writing. I have been talking to God about it. Please pray for my hands to work better and my attention span to get longer again. I want to talk to you a tad for the next few days about promises. Let me get started.
Salvation Wednesday: June 1, 2016: A Few Promises (Day One)
I think I could safely say that all of us have a few treasures, and some maybe more than others. It is funny we take our treasures, and some of us have safes at home, or we put them in the bank in their vault. And people who have worked hard for some of their treasures have had them stolen by people who work hard to steal from others. Growing up I watched my parents work hard. They were in the Iron and Steel business. Mamma would Iron and pop would steal. No, that is not true. My parents were both teachers. They had their treasures also. My pop had two five hundred dollar bank notes that he would keep in his drawer. Each summer he would need to post them for money and then work on buying them back. Teachers did not make much back then.
Lately we get phone calls from people trying to sell us a security system for our home. I tell them we have one, and they start trying to sell theirs. People are cutting phone lines so you cannot call the police they say. Then I tell them of Pastor Dan's security system. First I have The Big Three, The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost. Then I tell them I have my Bible with the solid Word of God. If they are still on the phone I tell them I have a double-barrel 12 gauge shotgun and four Rottweilers. By then they have hung up. The only lie, we have Yorkshires. Now let me tell you that if you really want to protect your treasures you will store them where they are safe and there is truly only one place for your treasures to be safe. That is in Heaven. No other place is 100% safe. Let me show you that in God's Holy Word. No thief can steal them.
Luke 12:34 - For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (NIV)
Matthew 6:19 - "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (NIV)
So I ask you this day, do you have treasures here on earth? Think about that before you answer, for I think we all have some treasures. Here is the next question. Do you place any of them above our Lord Jesus? I am talking even family here, brothers and sisters. As much as I love my family and all of you, and I for sure love my dogs and cats, no one do I love more than Jesus. NO ONE!!!
This past Monday Dolores and I have been married 34 years and we have been in this earthly home for 30 years. And I am telling you it is so full of STUFF I don't know where to start when we say it is time to get rid of STUFF. We still have a few boxes we have not unpacked from when we moved in. Sometimes I think if someone came and stole it all, other than Dolores and our animals I would not miss anything, well, with the exception of my teeth.
Brothers and sisters, once you call on Jesus and put Him in your heart, no one, no one can take Him from you. Unless you throw Him out, He will be with you, and if you do throw Him out, He will be waiting for you to come back to Him. Have you seen the picture of Jesus standing at the door and knocking? Notice there is no handle on the outside. You must let Him in.
So I ask you again, what is your treasure, and where is your treasure today? I pray it is Jesus and He is in your heart.
Please pray for our dear friends Wanda and Grant. Wanda's father has graduated to Heaven. He is now with his treasures.
Dear Father in Heaven: Please forgive us, forgive me of my sins and come into my heart. I love You, Jesus. I believe Jesus died for me and was risen from the dead. I want to be with Him someday, and until that day I want to work for Him. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
Now go forth and serve Jesus. Love ya.
