Hi everyone,

  Can I rant and vent for a minute here?  Bear with me my fellow brothers and sisters.  I’ll try not to complain to much. (Note: If you are serving the LORD, take this message as an encouragement to continue on.  And if you are not serving the LORD, then I hope this will motivate you to serve Him.)

  I just got my molar pulled today, 07/29/25.  It has been bothering me off and on for months now.  And on Thursday it was acting up again.  It had been loose for a while but now got infected again and needed to go.  Mind you, I never had tooth problems before prison, maybe 2 cavities in my whole life and no gum problems either.  But thanks to this” wonderful system” that we live in, I have had dental problems.  Boy, this evil system and its people truly know how to mess things up.  I want you all to know that I am refraining to use words that would better explain this whole system and the people who are in it.  Yea, you might say, “But Jonathan, it’s only one tooth and a bit of infection in the gums”. 

 Yea, but what if you can’t treat it, or that they won’t in here.  Do more teeth and the gums suffer?  How about what gum disease can cause, even heart trouble and more.  O yea, I have had high blood pressure off and on since I was locked up.  Never did before this.  When these evil people kidnapped me and took me away from my life and what helped me maintain my health, MMS being only one of them.  These are only a few of the results.  They put you “in” for years and destroy your health.  So, when you get out, you are useless, or less useful than before.  This whole system is not about rehabilitation, but it’s about destruction.  Destruction not only of your life, but your families and many more. 

And I am commanded to not hate them?   But they keep finding ways to push the buttons of my heart, literally.   Why do people enjoy hurting and ruining people’s lives?  What do they get out of it?  I have given most if not my whole life for helping the poor, needy, sick, the lost and the list goes on.  And yet, as I do that, I get smashed.  I know what the Bible says and that this is what us believers are to go through. 

But evil is just that, evil!!!   And the more people do it, it becomes them, we become it.  So, if I hate evil and one has been consumed with it.  How do I not hate that person?  I only find that I can’t do this on my own, I need the guidance of the Holy Spirit.  On my own, in the flesh that is, hate will succeed in my heart. 

I have such a great desire to see justice, that I want it more than life itself.  Why would dad and us sons go on and stand against this evil system?  To lose all?  To lose even my own personal use of our sacraments?  To lose my health?  I could have just sat back and been with my family the whole time and been healthy.   WHY DIDNT I????????????????????????????????

Because if you are not willing to lose your life for Christ’s sake, then you are not worthy of being called His follower.   Yes, salvation is by grace through faith, which is unmerited favor.  I know this, believe me I know this.  But if seeing injustice doesn’t even move you to do anything, are you even saved?  Or are you trying to use salvation as a “get out of hell card’?  That would mean you would be coming to the LORD with a selfish interest, unrepentant and not because you love Him and want to give your life to Him.  We are to live selfless lives, because our lives were bought with the precious blood of Jesus Christ!!! Your life is not yours, it’s His!!! 

But even after saying all of that, I am a man and the injustice that affects me and so many in this world, causes me to be angry.  Anger can be wrong, but righteous anger is one of the things that pushed me to go on.  And that righteous anger is of the LORD.  I tend to confuse it at times.  I am a man and fall at times.  It hasn’t been easy these past 5+ years.  Heck, I could say it hasn’t been easy all my life.  The devil never has stopped attacking me even from my childhood.  Once he saw I was saved at a very young age and would tell my brother, friends and look forward to passing out tracts to spread the Gospel, sing in the churches to support dad in trying to go to the mission field, and so much more.  The enemy knew he had a warrior of God coming and wanted to break him.  The enemy has tried for so many years to destroy me, but greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world. 

 We are to love justice, true justice that is. Which is the only justice. Just because the DOJ has the word justice in it, that doesn’t mean anything.  They are corrupt and or compromised, basically the same thing. We are to always do what is right, always!!! No exceptions. In Micah 6:8 says-” 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?)   So, what are you doing to see justice given?   Are you waiting on a man to bring justice?  An agency?  A government? A judge?  Well, anything of man or man himself to bring justice?  Or are you taking part yourself in exposing evil by taking a stand for truth and justice?  If not, are you even saved?  Is the Holy Spirit of God even in you?  Or are you just a coward?  I John 4:18 says-“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment.  He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”

Just because what has happened to me and so many others might not have happened to you doesn’t mean that it isn’t coming to everyone.  O its coming people.  Read the Bible and you will see that its coming, evil is here and its only gonna get worse.  You can’t believe the so called promises of everything getting better.  Yea, there will be a fake peace and things might look good for a time, but its fake.  There is a great deception happening now and this is the time of the apostasy.  Are you gonna get caught up in it?  Or are you ready to be caught away/raptured when the LORD Jesus Christ comes for His bride?  Or are you gonna be left behind?   I Thessalonians 4:17

You must stand against evil in your everyday life and do what is right and just at all times and in every decision you make.  Or else you will get caught up in the evil of this generation.  You must be led by the Holy Spirit and then you will see your life as it should be, for the service of our Almighty God.  And then a tooth, infected gums, abused, hated, loss of family, imprisonment, and loss of your life and everything and everyone else falls into 2nd place.  Where it should be.  Because 1st place is reserved for the King of kings and LORD of Lords, our Saviour Jesus Christ.  In Him alone I find peace, true peace.  In Him alone I find justice, true justice.  In Him alone I find salvation, the only Salvation.  He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. (Read John 14:6)   Glory be to our God, who is the only One who will reign forever.  

To all men and women, I almost feel sorry for you when you think and believe that you can accomplish anything without God allowing it.   For all things are created by Him and for Him. (Read Colossians 1:16)    O the pride of man.  I thank the LORD for saving a wretch like me, I once was lost but now I am found.  Through all the pain and suffering, I willingly lay down my life so that more will be saved.  I am moved by His Holy Spirit; therefore, I stand, I stand. 

Pray for Jordan and I, as we suffer for the sake of our LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ. 

I love you all and forgive me if I complain too much at times.  I know I shouldn’t, but I want you all to see my feelings. As king David wrote in the Psalms and expressed everything to the LORD, so will I.  This I bring to the LORD in prayer: “LORD Jesus, don’t let me hate them LORD, help me to love my enemy, those who purposely hurt me.  Teach me to say, Father forgives them, they do not know what they do and may Your will be done in my life.”  In Jesus name I pray Amen…

  1. I am reminded to continue to pray for you, your father, and your brothers to endure. I continue to pray for justice in regards to your unrighteous imprisonment. I pray that you are encouraged knowing that God will more than make up for this with eternal rewards. May the hope of the glory to come far outweigh the challenges of the moment as you surrender it to the Father as worship to glorify His name.

    2 Cor 4:12, NLT – “For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!”
