Step By Step

Loved Of The LORD,

It has been a long time since I have posted here and I have truly gone through a transformation.

When I am Done! You Will have something to whet your appetite, tickle your pallet if not to really chew on!

HOPEFULLY Not an antidote for insomnia, as a Presidential Press Conference tho far from being innocuous. (I will not be using a ‘TelePrompter!)

I have no desire to proselytize you, nor to change your political persuasion. Only to inform for your evaluation.

I am not an Evangelist per se, Tho I would be remiss not to bring my conviction of THE TRUTH found is Holy Writ that no man comes to the Father, Except thru the SON. The ‘Lake of Fire’ Eternally for those that pass by God’s provision thru Jesus The Anointed.

Preaching The Good News Of my Lord Jesus Christ is my Profession, But my Love and Hobby is Teaching The Truths found in Scripture to those who are interested and at Funerals and occasions like at Toastmasters where I have a Captive Audience.

There are those who say, The Bible is Not The Word Of God! Why would they say that? "Contradictions!", says one! "Name one?", Say I. They Never read in its entirety, if even read it all.

The Bible will confirm itself. 2 Cor. 13:1 "By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established."

Now that that is established again, I will endeavor to explain what has happened to me over the last two years or so. It Kinda, Sorta snuck up on me as I was pretty well established in my perspective of “What Is!”

To parenthesize a current event of a Memorial Service of a long time Friend That I had encouraged to accept God’ s Provision for around thirty years. He had moved back to his home town about 4 years ago and not in contact with him, I was Called on to officiate at this local memorial last night. He passed on last May. I asked his widow who Jesus was to him and she responded with, “El Senor y Salvador!”

He had a nominal Spiritual Understanding, being a baby Baptized Catholic. Eventually after dropping off his wife and daughter at church for several months while he went for coffee he accepted his wife’s invitation to come to Church with them. The preacher was explaining that the only worthwhile thing to accomplish here was to serve God! I am betting on Ecc. 12:1 ff.

The video of his baptism, he explains that is was like going from Black & White to Technicolor. This is a type of the process we (Who are seeking more of HIM) go thru who are “Just Passing Thru!” MORE ON ITS WAY!

When God paints.... 'Awareness'

When God paints.... Is the break I needed after going solo for a couple hours today. In other words; the pleasures of accomplishment seem to shift that conscious 'Awareness' somewhat to the side and now paying attention to the 'Near Misses' when they are seen is that cue to check back and in. I now you will enjoy this as much as I did/do!

Even this small amount of time to write about the video brings me to where I want to be.
Have a wonderful day! 1 aka DP

The Complex Structure Of Design! “Thoughts” On Creation!

Loved of The Lord, More on Thoughts, now as it appears that I am on a roll, To God Be The Glory! As I was before the Lord, a couple days ago, I was thinking all the way back to ‘The Beginning’ and the complex structure of even the amoeba. Try to imagine the magnitude of ‘The Thought’ to begin with, let alone the design of humanity, then how uniquely each one of us … created to The Designers desire. A mousetrap needs six different parts to work. Eliminate any one of them and it does not work. Again, the complexity of the lowly amoeba having only one element removed from the millions that make up its form would also cease to be a living organism.

Now how man thinks he is so smart that he is messing with The DNA! I am reminded of derision about Science and God:

The scientist and God are having a conversation and the scientist tells God that mankind no longer needs HIM. And when asked for an explanation, the scientist continues with, “Now that we can create anything, including human life, there is no need for a Creator.” God responds with, “allow ME to see you accomplish this!” Now the scientist gathers all his paraphernalia on his bench and reaches for a handful of dirt. God clears HIS throat, (as if HE needs to) shaking HIS Head and says, “Uh Uhaa, go get your own dirt!”

Praise God! As I write this “Thought” I see where Evolution is under attack this last week. Reading in (The Miami Herald) in Florida and in Texas, (East Texas Review Newspaper) that Evolution is losing support. Nine Conservative Counties in Florida are rejecting the State endorsed Text Books, because of the text is purporting Evolution as an established fact.

Now listen to this!: They do not want it replaced or even that ‘Design” be taught along side of it. They only want it to be a theory and the weaknesses, as well as the strengths pointed out.

The Texas article is from a progressive perspective, badmouthing the State Board of Education and classifying the downsizing of Darwin to be on the same par as replacing condom distribution with promoting abstinence.

Please understand that I know that the ‘Progressives’ and even the ‘Conservatives’ ‘Believe without a doubt’ that they have all the facts and that their perspective “Is The Only Way It Can Be!”

What is interesting is that I KNOW without a doubt … (Do not hold your breath!) … (Here it comes!) … That There Is No Way I Would Be Able to Convince Anyone Of What I Believe! They ( & me too! … Oh Yea! You too!) have been conditioned by their customs, culture and rearing to believe what they … we… do!

For over 25 years I have exhorted all that have been placed in my path; Not To Believe What I Believe! I explained to them then and I am explaining to you now that I would pray for them, To Believe What The Word Of God Teaches Them, thru the Precious Holy Spirit, “In Jesus’ Name!” John 15:26;

Hoping I have your attention now, I am posting this, as is thus far. Watch for the next segment on “Thoughts”. Be Blessed, 1 Posted 080315 www.wonpreacher.com ©2008

The Unique Way To Missions

Loved Of The LORD,
So many times, as we have been ministering, I have been asked about the process to be involved in Missions. All I can say is that the way GOD took me,(And later The wife of my youth, with me.) was contrary to any Church &/or Group Mission ways that I know about. Most Missionaries have to drum up support to so much a month, (around $20 - $40 thousand a year) before they are sent. This might be a new term for you, but to go along with that"Special Uniqueness" of our calling, we found ourselves a part of a special breed called “Cowboy Missionaries”. Below is a portion of a very Good article on the normal Deputation process. Check out the link for the full article!

Missionary deputation is often looked upon as "the pits," a horrible experience through which fledgling missionaries must pass in order to become "real missionaries." "If only we could avoid deputation," say some who claim that otherwise they would consider missionary service. Ernest D. Pickering, Th.D.

In July of 2007 we were up in the Yosemite area for a Special Retirement Celebration of one of our former Pastors and some friends from down here in So Cal were staying in the same Lodge with us. During our conversations, our Mission trips were shared in passing & I was “Told” that I needed to write it down so other people could partake of it too. Here it is in the middle of November of 2007 and I find myself writing another chapter of The Book.
I have to back up and tell another story for background before my own story, as this is really a step of faith. Next week … Same writer, Same Blog! 1 ©2007

Another Book Review!

Loved of The LORD,
No moss growing under my feet. Have T. D. Jakes 'REPOSITION YOURSELF' under my belt. It was an informative and found it to be a good read. As I have said before, "Have not found a man (or woman) of God that I agree with 100%, yet Bishop Jakes' book is helpful. Check out my reviews on the link above. NOTE! This is the 1st time I tried this link thing, now watch it work!
