About me: Hi all, My name is Jim,
The reason that I'm here, alive and well and using
this message board is because Jesus came into my life
He reached down and saved me.And I will for always be most greatful
Travel with me back in time to the 1970's When Jesus came into my life,
I was lost and dying in my sin without hope seperated from God and society
I was going down for the third time and Jesus reached out and took my hand
and...and.. I became a waterwalker..just like Peter did when Jesus reached
out to him. Praise His Holy Name!!
At the time I didn't think that it was fair,you know what was happen to me..
But now I know that it was a real blessing. You see when Jesus saved me
my only expierence with church was weddings and funerals. that was the only
time I darken the church house doors.And for the first six months after Jesus
saved me I had only the Bible and the Holy Spirit to lead me in to the truth,
This was a real blessing not shown to me till much later.. I had six, well really seven
months all alone with Jesus to read His Word and pray. All of my needs were taken
care of, which were not all that much!! Stop and think about it, I had the Word and I
had Jesus what more did I need.Well, for one, my family would have been nice,my
two boys my wife,my Mom and Dad and my friends.
You want to know where I was? Ok I will tell you but first let me tell you what I was.
I was a prisoner of war..a POW...Locked up beat down in a six by nine cell. Now
if you remember in the 70's the Vietnam war had just ended and being the waring
nation that we are we were looking for another war to fight.We were having trouble
getting one started so... the good old USA declared war on it's own people and called it a
war on drugs. So I was a prisoner of that war.
So I read and read and read the Bible and tried to believe and trust in Him That's right
I said if it worked back then, it will work for me now...and if it don't then I don't need it
or Jesus!!Well I am here to tell the world and everyone in it, that the Bible is true and Jesus
Is, Was and Always Will Be the Savior of the whole wide world!!
So I prayed and prayed and prayed some more, I didn't think I should be there and I sure
didn't want to be there.I reminded God more then once how He open the cell doors of the
prison for Paul and Silas.Wow!! guess what? that is just what He did for me!! only in a
different way...
Then for some reason I now thought I was called to the ministry... To preach the good news,
the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the sent one, the one and only savior the world.The only
way to the Father.That God loves us, and that He is not mad at us, and that He wants us
to be healthy, wealthy and wise. He not only wants to Heal all but He wants to save all.
Boy was I in for a big.....no a huge surprise.....God opened the doors to every church in
my hometown and I walked though and gave my testimony,and each time was ask to
meet with the Pastor and he would tell me I was wrong!!And I was just on a honeymoon
with God and God was just blessing me because I was so young and that it wouldn't
always be like this!!It was like they had never heard the Good News or they knew a
different Jesus!!
Now my grandfather was a Pastor from the time he was 17 till he died,he pastored
churches from Viriginia to Oregon mostly Presbyterian and Methodist he had seven
children which he and his wife raised them very well and my Dad was the youngest, do any of you know
what it is like to be a PK? Well I do, my Daddy told me all about it.Even though he was
a believer he never went to church much of his adult life and told me If I wanted I could go ,if
I didn't ,I didn't have to go so.... I didn't.
.So I found myself now becoming a menber of the last church my Grandfather Pastor
it was on the same block that I lived on,just a short walk from my house, I became a
deacon in that church, they used me as a greeter, I got to take up the offerings and pray
over it, I visted the sick and prayed for them helped out the widows, help feed the homeless.
All Churches need helpers, did then and do now.Well I kept renewing my mind with
the Word of God till I was asked to leave,and I did .But God was just getting started
with me,Jesus help me to start New Life Revival Ministries,which I used to preach
and teach Gods Word outside of the Church and With the help of Jesus I started
Believers Word of Faith Fellowship.... Then God open the door for me to be
crusade coordinator for a international Healing Ministry. It was my job to contact the
Pastors of churches and set up Revival meetings. I did this for five years booking
and setting up meeting in Australia,New Zealand,England,Japan ,Hong Kong, India
and through out the United States.
Then without any warning God wanted me to do something I wouldn't have ever thought He
would !! Jesus wanted me to come out of her[the Church]He made it very clear to me
in away that I was sure it was Him!! This was a big problem for me...What about all my
Pastor friends and all my close church friends,what about me!!! I told God I could not be
happy if I was not studying His Word,getting ready to preach,preaching and praying for
people and all that went with being in the ministry!! This took me sometime to do ...you
know let go of all of that...Jesus had to remind me of things I had told Him I would do when
I first got saved.So now He was putting me in remerberance of my words just like I had
put Him in remerberance of His many years eariler. It is so true that you reap what you sow.
This was ten years ago and I am more blessed then ever and completly satisfied..What is
impossible with men is possible with God It took some time for me to get my head out
of the way and follow His Spirit..And I made a lot of mistakes on the way and will make
more as I go on. But He will never leave or forsake me I am so greatful to my Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ.

'A Woman of God' Be very careful if you make a woman of God cry,
because her daddy counts her tears. The Woman of God came out of a man's rib. Not from his feet to be walked on, Not from his head to be superior,
but from the side to be equal. Under his arm to be protected,
and next to the heart to be loved.' Pass this on to all exceptional Women that you know and to men so they can be reminded of the value of a Godly Woman.
Hey dad, I tried to send Donna a friend request but it said she doesn't accept requests from bands. So I tried to send her a message telling her to add me, and it said "you have to be Donna's friend to send her a message".
