First I would like to say that I love you all with my entire heart. I pray that the LORD Jesus Christ blesses you all. And I am glad to be back messaging again.
My family and I are very thankful to God and everyone who has held my son Jonny in their prayers. If it wasn’t for the grace of God, he wouldn’t be here today.
(Note: Mom, please share with Jonny, Sham, JD, Jordan, etc.. And brother Dick, share with all if you like. Dad, do the same.) This was just going to be a short note with a verse. Turned into something a bit more.
Our scars, our testimony.
Our scars(Jonny this is especially for you right now)are warriors marks, to be a testimony of what we live. To glorify our Father in heaven. Jesus has His scars for all eternity, reminding all what He did for us.
In Isaiah 66:2 it says-“For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.”
What stands out to me and we don’t usually notice it because we are so focused on what this verse says of us; is the following: “those things hath Mine HAND made”. The LORD is saying that His HAND made all things. Who’s HAND? Those beautiful scarred HANDS, the Right Arm of GOD!!! And Who is this we read of?(Look up- Psalm 44:3,89:13&21,98:1,Isaiah 40:10,51:5,52:10,59:16 and last but not least Isaiah 53:1) He is our LORD and Saviour
Jesus Christ!!!
He looks to all who are of a poor and contrite spirit? Sure thing… But what does contrite mean here in this verse? We know contrite can mean broken,destroy,dash to pieces or crush,break, humble. But in this verse and context it literally means smitten,maimed,lame and dejected which means sad,in low spirits,depressed,disheartened.
So physically, mentally and spiritually broken. The LORD looks at us Jonny!!! So don’t worry, He will put you back together again and better and stronger than before.
And also at anyone who trembleth at His what? WORD!!! We know Jesus Christ is the WORD of GOD!!!
So lets praise the LORD for our scars, whether they be bodily, mentally, spiritually, for they are a testimony of what God the Father did for us through Jesus Christ our LORD and Saviour. Amen.
Romans 8:28, we know what it says and if you don’t, look it up.
So many people are praying for you my son, we love you Jonny…
Just received a reply to the circuit court from my lawyer stating how they didn’t rule correctly in my appeal because I was never given due process for demanding my 1st Amendment rights. Do I believe they will overturn it? Not really. But seeing and being reminded of what Jordan and I said in our first hearing and other hearings. How we praised the LORD Jesus Christ ,stood for the Gospel and said all we have been doing is what the LORD commanded us to do. To help our fellow man and in our case, helping people be healed of diseases. The Truth was and has been told the whole time, and it will not return void(empty).
May God bless us all and strengthen us for the days ahead.
