My Life’s Testi- Happy Thanks Giving mony of God’s Faithfulness & Deliverance
By Joanne Newcomb
My name is Joanne, and I am a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. I was born in the small town of Methuen,MA, being one of six children, the second oldest. My parents were both alcoholics. My life was always in crissis, never knowing what would happen next. The police were called weekly as my father violently abused my mother and each of his children. Mom was sick from mental illness because of Dads hitting her all the time. He was also having affairs with her friends. God helped me get through each day. I feared my father because of the abuse he inflicted on us. I needed to do whatever I could to survive. Thinking he might try to kill me as he did Mom. My fear eventually turned to anger. - Continuation on Page: 2

State Of Georgia Miraculous accounts Demands Pastor Hand of God stirring Syria Over His Sermon Notes & Transcripts
ATLANTA, Oct. 26, 2016 / PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Dr. Eric Walsh announces that he will not hand over his sermons to the State of Georgia. His announcement comes in response to the government serving him with legal papers during the course of litigation, requiring him to surrender copies of his sermon notes and transcripts. Walsh, who was a lay minister and Georgia government employee, became embroiled in a lawsuit with the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) after evidence surfaced indicating the government fired Walsh over his religious beliefs. Read more about the case and view legal documents at FirstLiberty.org/Walsh “The state insists that it did not fire Dr. Walsh over his religious beliefs or sermons. If that’s true, why is it demanding copies of his
sermons now?” Jeremy Dys, Senior Counsel for First Liberty Institute and counsel for Dr. Walsh, asked. “It’s clear the government fired Dr. Walsh over his religious beliefs, which is blatant religious discrimination.” In May 2014, Walsh accepted a position as a District Health Director with Georgia’s DPH. A week later, a DPH official asked him to submit copies of sermons he had previously preached as a lay minister with the Seventh-day Adventist Church. After DPH officials obtained copies of
his sermons, they divided them up, reviewed them, and then terminated Dr. Walsh two days later. (View email correspondence between DPH officials and employees dividing up the sermons) First Liberty Institute, along with Atlanta law firm Parks, Chesin & Walbert, filed a lawsuit against the Georgia Department of Public Health on behalf of Walsh, charging state officials with engaging in religious discrimination against Walsh. On September 28, in the process of building their legal case against Walsh, the State of Georgia served a Request for Production of Documents on Walsh, which requires Walsh to surrender copies of his sermon notes and transcripts. The request carries the same force of law as a subpoena. Read the docu-

My Life’s Testimony of God’s Faithfulness and Deliverance
My father and his cousin, which was the chief of police in my town, had my mother murdered we suspect. I was age 13 and was very close to Mom. At age 16, I starting drinking alcohol, my father’s girlfriends would always leave alcohol in the house and I would sneak it. In the end of my 11th year of school, we moved to the city. I was very frightened. The day we moved into our apartment, my baby sister and I went to the drug store to call my older sister to tell her we moved. I was in the phone booth when two men came in to rob the store. They saw us in the phone booth, came over, opened the door and put a gun to my head. “Stay in here till we leave” they demanded. Then they ripped the phone out of my hand tearing it from the wall. I think I had a nervous breakdown after that. They put me on meds and the police thought I was involved. After graduating from High school and saving enough money to visit my Moms sister in California,

I learned I was pregnant. I had been dating my father’s girlfriend’s brother who lived with us in Massachusetts. Now I found myself in California and pregnant, so I asked the Doctor if I could have an abortion. Thank God he said no since I was so far along. When my Uncle found out, he was very angry with me, so my Aunt put me in a Hospital for unwed mothers. God intervened in my life again and I kept my daughter. With a new baby and on welfare, I came back to Massachusetts full of fear, hate, and rage. This led to smoking “marijuana”, thinking I could numb the pain. “God please help me” was my prayer. I didn’t want the life I now had, alone in a strange city, people braking into my house, having a stalker following me and calling me on the phone saying horrible things to me. I had my number changed and unlisted 10 times and could not figure out how this guy kept getting my number. I eventually found out that the lady

upstairs I worked with would write it on her wall, and since the stalker knew her, he was getting it there. Next I met my fiancé and thought my life would get better. Unfortunately, we both had a lot of baggage coming into the relationship. Fighting and drinking were the norm. One time he broke my nose and another time he gave me a black eye. It was disturbing to say the least, that I was involved with someone just like my Dad. Friends of ours witnessed to us about Jesus with a message of Fire and Brimstone. I came to know Jesus as my Savior Christmas 1979. Wow, what an experience. I said the sinner’s prayer they had given me the night before. I felt a hand on my shoulder gently showing me how to kneel. All I did was cry. God had totally delivered me from drinking alcohol

We spoke with Brother Michael*, a Syrian Christian and ministry partner with The Voice of the Martyrs, USA. He shared with us the humbling perspective of believers in Syria who stay, literally, in the cross-hairs of danger and persecution. “I was talking to one of the pastors, leaders in that nation,” says Brother Michael. “His son was attacked, a bullet flew right threw his neck; his other son is under threat, he has

and smoking pot. For years after that, each time I would go to church I would cry during the service. My husband came to Jesus too and stopped the physical abused. There was still a lot of garbage in me which God needed to clean up. At that time, I chose not to face the hurts and instead put a wall of protection up. The pain of those feelings hurt way too much for me to deal with them now. My intent was to protect myself, little did I understand that what I needed was recovery counseling and ministry. The pastor of my church put me into ministry right away. We became very close, like family. I was trained as I went along. The primary thing I learned was to serve others. He had me doing Sunday School, communion, bulletins, hospital visits, cleaning the church, or whatever I was told. I was happy to do it as long as I knew people cared about me. God knew what I needed at that time in my life. I also was very co-dependent, always wanting to be in control of my own life, which I had not done very well with so far. Well I thought if I controlled my life and made my own choices I would not get hurt, that was a lie from the enemy. When my first daughter
was six years old, I become pregnant again. After being confined to bed for five months, I miscarried. My daughter would make me breakfast before she went to school. The people from church brought lunches and dinners to help. Even though I was afraid of getting pregnant again, I did. This time they thought I was having twins, because I was so big. I was so large I could not breath. I had to sleep on 5 pillows at night to get any rest. When they did an ultra sound, we learned the baby had no arms or legs and was anencephalic. Their advice was to abort her since she was not growing and the fluid inside me was suffocating me. The Doctors also told me she would not live outside my womb. They gave me the weekend to decide about aborting her. I was to call the Doctor on Monday to let them know my decision. After praying with my church friends, I decided to trust God so I called them and told them no to abortion, as I had decided to trust God to heal her. Wednesday, my water broke and I delivered Sarah, 5 lbs. 2 oz baby girl. She was the same weight as myself when I was born. She only lived 52 minutes. I believed God to totally heal her, and He did. He received her home with Himself. The feeling of unworthines
haunted me in regards to my motherhood. It seemed to me that I was not worthy of being a mother especially since I was not doing a very good job with the first child. Turns out I had become physically and verbally abusive to her because of my anger toward her Dad. He left me long ago and has never gotten in touch with me up to this day. I didn’t know what to do so I did what I seen, hurt and abuse others. There were still open wounds and resentment towards my father, her dad (my husband) and life in general. Although saved, I had not worked on deliverance from any issues in my life yet. God soon came to my rescue again after I started asking Him to change me. The Lord just wanted me to give my will to Him. I hated who I had become, but thank God for lots of prayer from church family that got me through. My older daughter was growing up angry like her parents. She stole my car one time in the middle of the night. In my efforts to take care of two children, my older daughter felt left out and wanted to move in with a friend. As long as she went to school and maintained her studies, I permitted it. Well, the girlfriend’s boyfriend was taking my daughter to school each

Harris Poll
American Teens No Longer More Likely than Adults to Believe
NEW YORK, Nov. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Though Americans are currently attempting to recover from their Halloween sugar comas, with our presidential election looming, religious beliefs are rising to the tops of many conversations and minds. Over the past few years, The Harris Poll has found that the gap between the proportion of U.S. adults (18+) and teens (13-17) that believe in God is closing. Where in 2014, 8 in 10 teens (80%) believed in God while only 74% of adults felt the same in 2013, now in 2016, just over three quarters of each share this belief (77% teens, 76% adults).
In God
It is worth noting, how ever, that while over half of all Americans aged 13 and older say they are absolutely certain there is a God, teens are more likely than adults to feel this way (58% teens vs. 53% adults). These are some of the results of The Harris Poll® of 2,463 U.S. adults aged 18+ and 510 teens aged 13-17 surveyed online between July 14 and 27, 2016. Whether or not a person believes in God, everyone must still find their own way to contend with the matter of death. Just under three quarters of Amer
icans (74% teens, 73% adults) believe in Heaven, followed by seven in ten who believe in angels (71%, 70% respectively). When it comes to the devil’s domain, 65% of teens believe in Hell, a six-percentage point jump on the 59% of adults who feel the same. In addition, just under six in ten Americans believe in the Devil (59% teens, 58% adults). And when it comes to what’s deep inside, over six in ten Americans (61% teens, 64% adults) believe the soul survives after death, while 19% of teens and about a quarter of adults (26%) believe in reincarnation.

So we began just in two hours period of time hearing about three different stories of people seeing Jesus in dreams and visions. “It was just a moment where we opened the Gospel and people right there confessed Christ.” Bottom line: the Church in Syria is blossoming and growing through the pow-

Despite persecution, despite physical displacement or fear, despite even the threat of death, the purpose of God cannot be stamped out in this country whose very roots are embedded deep in the history of Scripture and the story of Salvation.
Pray today for Syria.

The Spirit Of Truth uffany By Madeline D
Dear Reverend, My pastor is emphasizing reading through the Bible each year. I have tried to do this for some time, but I just can’t seem to do it. Now, there is a lady in church who makes it a point of telling me: “Oh! It’s so easy! I read it all in five months!” Yet, she is not someone I can go to when I need encouragement or an explanation of some Scripture. What can I do to get a real interest this year? I want to be faithful. Need Encouragement -------------------------------------Dear Friend, I cannot emphasize enough how crucial it is to be baptized in the Holy Spirit after you accept Jesus Christ and are
born again. The Holy Spirit gives such illumination to each Scripture, that when the floodlight is turned on, all things will be clarified and exciting to you! Instead of glossing over the Scriptures with shrouded insight, the Holy Spirit will reveal things to you which you never understood before. As you begin to pray in tongues and communicate with Father God, He will un- lock the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven. (Pas tor James Anderson taught us that!) Who said you have to read the Bible through in one year? How about two years How about five years? The rest of your life? Listen, here is an example of
what my husband and I experience: Genesis 1:1: “God created the heaven and the earth.” If you have a Great Bible, you can look up a cross refer ence, that is, Isaiah 45:18. The earth was created to be inhabited. Because of sin, the earth, which was dry and normal, was judged and covered with water. Now, look up “Lucifer’s flood”, and look at Genesis 1:4: “And God saw the light and it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness”. See Ecclesiastes 3:11 and you will understand that the word ‘good’ here means ‘beautiful’! When God brought you out of darkness into His light, he now sees you as Beautiful! This is how God’s word should be read, with understanding, so it gets right down into your spirit. Don’t let anyone rush you. Take your time. It’s an exciting Adventure! This is God’s Truth Reverend MMD

Jack Chick, Tract Cartoonist, has died at 92 From Page 1
“They portrayed everything from rock music to Dungeons & Dragons and Harry Potter as literal traps of the Devil. “One tract, ‘The Walking Dead,’ tapped into the hit zombie TV show but argued: ‘We’re all like zombies. The spirits inside our souls are dead.’” Christianity Today (CT) called Chick, “The biggest name in tract evangelism,” adding that that his signature black-and-white panel comics warned against the dangers of everything from the occult to Family Guy. CT went on to say, “Chick’s messages were controversial -- including among evangelicals -- but his work enjoyed a global reach. His most popular tract -- This Was Your Life! -- was translated into more than 60 languages. “The former technical illustrator began drawing and funding his first comic books and pocket-sized tracks in the early 1960s, according to Christian Comics International. Chick Publications grew to start its own print shop, and took off in the ‘70s.” The CT story went on to say, “His evangelistic furor was inspired by sermons from revivalist Charles Finney, whose theology continues to underline Chick’s tracks, according to researcher Daniel Silliman. He quotes Chick as saying, ‘When everything
is caving in, and when the world laughs at the church, that’s when we need revival…. Christians are self-satisfied and complacent. God’s got a handful of people out there who really mean business, but the rest are playing

Berends told the ASSIST News Service (www.assistnews.net), that Chick was “one of the greatest influences on my life.” He went on to say, “For years I spoke to Jack practically every day around 5:00 pm and would give him a report on the 300 Chick tracts that I would hand out on the Las Vegas Strip. He was instrumental in introducing me to Pilot

games.’” Among the many provocative tracts Chick produced were two attacking the Catholic Church, namely, “Last Rites” and another which asked, “Are Roman Catholics Christians?”
Jack Chick (center) seen here with Tim Berends (left) and pilot, Mike Cahill
Although he had many critics, Chick also had a loyal band of followers, one of whom is veteran broadcaster, Tim Berends, who hosts the “Jesus and Tim in Las Vegas” show
Mike Cahill. Since he did that, Mike and I have been on over 40 trips including, nine trips to Israel and 18 trips to Mexican border towns and many capitals in Central and South American countries handing out Chick Tracts. “I can only imagine what it was like when he arrived in Heaven. I wouldn’t have been surprised if the Lord asked believers to stand in line to meet the Apostle Paul because the line for Jack Chick was just too long.” Christianity Today said that in the late 1990s, a media watchdog site described the secular fascination with Chick, saying: “To some, Chick tracts are American folk art, or even a form of religious pornography, titillating and somewhat dangerous. Chick is the ultimate underground artist: single
minded and self published, passionately committed to his message without regard for external social forces.” It added, “Chick’s 150plus tracts center around distinguishing the ‘saved’ from the ‘lost,’ the latter represented by various culture war targets over the years.” Scholar Martin Lund in the book Comics and Power, said, “Despite claims to eternal truths, tract subjects are frequently chosen in response to contemporary trends and ideas, references to communism have vanished from Chick’s post-Cold War output, and eight of the twelve ‘Islam’ tracts were published after 2001.” One of the frequently asked questions on Chick’s site is, “Why preach against false religions? Why not just preach Jesus?” His site’s response, in part said: “Here is why: God said, ‘When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.’ (Ezekiel 3:18). It’s not hard to see that God requires us to speak up, even if it is unpopular.” ASSIST News Service PO Box 609 Lake Forest, Ca 92609 www.assistnews.net

A QUEST FOR Making Total NEW Commitment STRENGTH By Christina Cook Lee
John 17:25-26 (NKJV) O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent me. And I have declared to them Your Name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them. Probably all of us have had the experience of accidently walking into the wrong classroom or meeting room. The feeling you have when you realize that you’re in the wrong place is usually embarrassment, along with an eager desire to leave the area and go find where you’re supposed to be. I pretty much felt like I was in the ‘wrong room’ most of my life. It’s still a little puzzling to me, how a person could feel like such an alien just about all of the time. Sometimes the feeling has been less extreme than others, but at this point, I’ve adjusted to it and understand that it’s the way God made me. Maybe if I had been more like other people, I wouldn’t have felt the deep need for acceptance that finally drove me to my knees. Choosing Jesus sets us apart, too. When we’re really filled with Him, through the power of the Holy Spirit—He’s the most important thing in our life. Things that don’t have something to do with Him are not that interesting to us. The longings of our heart are satisfied in a different way because of His presence in our heart, mind, and soul.
The things that were important to me before I gave my life completely to God have now taken on a different meaning to me. I can appreciate some of the things I used to be interested in, but I don’t have the same passions now as I had then. Being set apart for the Lord doesn’t mean that we’re flawless. In fact, we see our own flaws more than we did before we knew Him. We recognize that without Him we can’t do anything as well as if we rely completely on Him for His help—and the strength we need to live for Him. I used to worry that I wouldn’t have the courage to be faithful to Him until the end of my life, if my faith were to be put to the test. I used to wonder how people had the strength to be martyrs. I would sometimes spend time thinking of all of the things that might happen and whether I could remain committed to Him if I ever had to face true testing to the point of death. God has shown me that the secret to being faithful, is being filled. In John chapter 17, Jesus is praying for His disciples and for all those who would follow Him throughout the ages of time. He is acknowledging the love that His Father has for Him. He’s praying that through Him, we would all know the love of the Father and be filled with His love. 1 John 4:8 tells us that God is love. 1 John 4:18 says there is no fear in love. But perfect love casts out fear.
By meditating on those verses, I have been able to begin to understand how a person could have the ability to endure anything, whether it would be pain, danger, fear, loneliness, loss, or feeling like an alien. If the love of God is perfect and complete, and if I am filled with His love—as Jesus prayed I would be—then, I should not be terribly affected by any of those things, because of course God would answer the prayer of His own Son, Jesus—as He prayed for me. Even after many years of following Christ, I still have to make the decision to trust God when I’m faced with things that cause me to experience discomfort. As humans, we have to choose day by day—sometimes, moment by moment—to trust God’s plan for our lives when we can’t see the way ahead of us. I’ve come to believe that all of life is a test. All of the things that bother us, are things that God wants to help us find peace about. He doesn’t want us to worry about anything at all. He doesn’t want us to feel alone or afraid or have pain of any kind—unless it would be for the purpose of teaching us to trust Him and His ability to help us go through it—or bring us deliverance. When I have experiences that cause me to feel like I am lacking—I have the opportunity to ask God to “Be all that I am not.” When I feel nervous about whether I might be accep-

Verses we will be studying Luke 1:46-55 Why study these verses? Introduction The Bible tells us in a number of places that God will surely test us and that the level of our commitment will be revealed. In fact, it will be refined by fire and purified in the end. People like King Saul failed the test and thus limited his usefulness to God. Many others passed with flying colors and were exalted by God. Honored as giants of the Christian faith. So we would argue that high atop the list of those tested by God and found faithful in her commitment to God was Mary, a young virgin chosen for the single greatest honor ever bestowed on a human being and raising the Son of God, Jesus Mary is the second of three, praise to God. 1. Elizabeth praise to God, Luke 1:39-45 2. Mary praise song to God, Luke 1:46-56 3. Zechariah praise to God Luke 1:57-80 Mary’s Commitment was Tested and Proved. The testimony: Mary thanks God for six things. 1. God’s Understanding : 1:46-48 46 And Mary said: “My soul glorifies the Lord

Conclusion In Mary’s mind and as reflected by her Song, there was nothing special about a young virgin from an average family from Nazareth. She simply said “YES” to a God whose slave and daughter she was, and she received blessing upon blessing as a reward. This is God’s way, she sang. God always has and always will bless those who yield to His will by making total commitments to Him. 1. How strong is your commitment to God? 2. Can it be made stronger? 3. How about your commitment to your family? 4. Do you see commitment to family as separate from your commitment to God? 5. Should these two commitments be related? 6. If So, how?

My Life’s Testimony of God’s Faithfulness & From Deliverance Page: 2 day and they were getting close. Her girlfriend didn’t like that and instead of calling me, she called D.S.S. and said I was neglecting my daughter. My daughter was seventeen and I knew exactly where she was, not to mention we spoke by phone often. But God had plans for my deliverance and recovery. I ended up getting into counseling with a Pastor who was set up through a Christian D.S.S. worker. Never had I considered counseling as an answer. The counseling was affordable and he helped me and my family work on a lot of issues. When my first Pastor and his family left, it devastated me. This brought back thoughts again of my family leaving me. The result was emotional retreat into total seclusion. The saving grace was I remained in church and that kept me going. Another Pastor I was close with left and then another. I just kept building wall after wall so I would not get hurt. Then I digressed back to drinking after 15 years of abstinence. I went right back
to my old addiction when I used to be with my husband. Miserable, I would cry out to God for help. He is so faithful, He had my girlfriend from California ready to assist. She suggested I try Al-anon since it had helped her. Al-anon lasted for me about a year. It seemed to help me to focus on my issues that not everyone’s else’s “enabling” had touched on. I was so far into “denial” without realizing what it was. I didn’t want my life to turn out like my parents. I kept going to church and Bible study, reading self-help books and journaling. But I still was caught in a cycle of addictions and bad habits. My emotions controlled my life choices since I was still following man instead of God. I knew I needed to change. After the fourth Pastor left, my anxiety came back. God led me to another counselor who helped me to sort out my feelings and find out who I really was. She was a sweet heart but a non-Christian. I prayed and witnessed to her. Life was great for a few years.
My health began to grow worse. I could not work or even dress myself, let alone take care of my family anymore. Depression set in and I was overweight and in pain lying in bed. I said to the Lord; “Ok God, you’ve got my attention. What do I do now? Please heal me, I am all yours.” While still in this condition in bed, God sent a Christian friend, Mary Ann, to tell me about Celebrate Recovery. Once again I didn’t listen but remained in denial, always finding excuses. Boy, was I stubborn and rebellious. Even though I would not help myself due to my co-Independency and low esteem, another friend needed help for her family so I took her to Celebrate Recovery. The pain in my body was getting worse and I was still in denial of my unhealthy behaviors, yet I realize now God was trying to speak to me all along. As I lay in my bed, God was speaking to me through Pastors, Christian Nutritionists on TV, and through friends. Finally, a light went on, I began to get rid of all the white things in my diet and my pain started going away. I thank God who was showing me how to get healthy by getting rid of foods like Pizza, white bread, white potatoes, pasta, soda, coffee, and sugar. I learned

a lot of my depression and mood swings came from what I was putting in my body. The Lord showed me how to take the fiery darts out of my heart and mind as referenced in Ephesians 6:16. God also put on my mind in prayer that morning to stay in C.R. for the next 5 years. I even lead a C.R. group in my church while praying for God to rescue me again. I got a call from my brother in Florida to help a friend take care of her mother. Since coming to Florida, I starting living in a quiet, peaceful environment. The Lord started directing me to get deliverance. A friend back in MA had a granddaughter that received deliverance from a ministry in Tampa. Again, concerned about all the ‘how’s that come to mind along with the fear about money for counseling. I surrendered to the Lord again; “Ok Lord, I put my life in your hands.” Ever since my deliverance, I feel free like the world has come off my shoulders. I am still in the process till Jesus comes to take me home. But so many fears are gone, addiction, walls have come down. I know and believe who I am in Christ. The Lord has lead me to an amazing Spirit-filled church where
my eyes are being opened to the gifts and callings God wants to use me in. After deliverance, my counselor asked me if I would share some of my testimony (on their TV show and Youtube.com) so we taped that show Sept. 24, 2016 for GOD’S VIEW TODAY. My life has been hard but I know I never went through it alone, the Lord has always been with me. As I cried out each day to the Lord, I see now how He is molding my character and life after His. That is what living is all about, not me and my issues, but loving God, serving Him and His children and spending quiet times, singing, praising and listening to Him to direct my days. In May, the Lord woke me up with a song to sing to Him. “Good morning sweet Jesus.” That day He gave me the rest of the words. As I spend time singing and talking to the Lord each morning, major changes of more deliverance, peace, and hearing His direction for my life seem to come. I would not desire to change anything right now, only that my children and grandchildren were closer to me. But I needed to surrender them and trust the Lord for my future decisions. Thank you, Jesus, keep me humble.
A QUEST FOR NEW STRENGTH From Page: 5
ted—I am able to say to Him, “Thank You, for giving me favor.” When I am weak and at the end of my own strength—I can offer Him praise by saying, “In my weakness, You are made strong—be the strength of my life today and always.” Declaration: I will find new strength by knowing that God would answer the prayer that Jesus prayed for me when He asked the Father to fill me with His love through Jesus. I will have the courage to face anything, knowing that His love is perfect and complete—and if I have His love in me, then I can be faithful to the end. If I feel like an alien, it’s okay, because I am who God made me to be. I am set apart, and I belong to Him.

OUR DAILY WALK... By Bob Duffany I would like to speak to you of the debt which each one of us as human beings owe to Jesus Christ. Please notice that I did not say ‘born-again believers’ or ‘Christians’ or ‘non-Christians’ or any other classification of human beings or their faith. This discussion applies to each and every human being. So, that includes me and you and everyone else. The debt which we ALL owe to Jesus Christ is immeasurable, above all our individual ability to fathom or conceive. As humans (each man and woman), repayment to Christ to satisfy this debt is unattainable and forever utterly impossible. What Jesus Christ provided was of Heaven, of God. What we are able to render in reciprocation and payment is only from our feeble, limited human nature. There is no comparison. Scripture states, “Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it
shall die.” Ezekiel 18:4, 20. (Emphasis mine). Since God did not create mankind just to kill it off, something had to be done about the sin of man. It is required that an atonement be made for sin. (Ex. 32:20; Rom. 5:11). Atonement: In the Old Testament, meaning reconciliation, was associated with sacrificial offerings to remove the effects of sin. In the New Testament, atonement refers specifically to the reconciliation between God and humanity effected by the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. Atonement involves forgiveness and mercy (the Mercy Seat). The focal point of God’s atoning work is Christ’s death on the cross. Paul wrote that “when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son” (Romans 5:10). These words not only define the meaning of atonement; they reveal the heart of the gospel as well. Let’s consider the neces sity of the incarnation of
Christ (‘Messiah’ in Hebrew). As stated above, it is required that an atonement be made for sin. Sin is disobedience and inflicts dishonor upon God, who Himself is sinless, and in deed, cannot sin in any way. This sin, this disobedience, the transgressor cannot himself repair. Were he to even become perfectly obedient, he could not render satisfaction for the past – for the offence of having robbed God of what belonged to Him. The sinner, the human offender, owes a debt which he cannot pay. The whole world would not suffice as a compensation; it would not balance the guilt of a single transgression. Only God can provide a satisfaction commensurate with the offence. Yet, it is a man, who, being the offender, must provide such satisfaction. Therefore, the need for a God Man. Christ, to be sure, owes only obedience for Him
Host an orphan this Christmas
BY BETH STOLICKER
Ukraine (MNN) – Imagine your life without love. One where nobody takes a second look at you and you’re left with a great hopelessness. Statistically speaking, it’s safe to say this kind of life is similar to that of an orphan’s. And it is exactly why Force For Christ works hard to show these kids that they are indeed loved. How? Through orphan hosting. And over this Christmas season, Force For Christ is asking families to open up their homes and share it with an orphan. Well, it’s where kids come and stay with a family for a defined period of time, in this case, it’s four weeks. And earlier this fall, Force For Christ’s Chad and Liz LaForce met with orphanages in Ukraine and discovered numerous kids who’d like to come to the United States and stay
with a loving family. Have you considered orphan hosting this Christmas? Bring the mission to your home and show the true love of Christ to orphans in need!
their lives, especially in a Christ-like way,” Chad LaForce explains. “The statistics for them upon leaving the institution are pretty bad.”
(Photo/Caption Courtesy Force For Christ via Facebook)
Yet for some people, orphan hosting might seem sketchy. After all, a child staying with a family for a month can’t really help that much. But it does. “You know statistically it’s not good if the kids grow up in an institution and they don’t have anyone actively supporting them in their lives, or feeding into
For many of these kids, the idea of staying with a family is revolutionary. Some have lived in orphanages their entire lives or have lost everything from the war in Ukraine. Currently, Ukraine is the only European country in an active war, and its effects on these kids are devastating. “Only about one-in-four
self. But, since He is spotless, He owes not submission to death … owes not the gift of His life. Yet, this purely supererogatory gift, He, being the spirit of love, loyalty, and obedience, makes to God. He makes this gift to God! (Rom. 6:23). It more than counterbalances the direst, the worst, of sin. Christ must be rewarded for His precious gift, but how can He be? Having all things already, He can be rewarded only by blessings being bestowed on His kindred. (Let the reader understand. Understand who are His kindred; and from whom, and to whom the reward is given). His kindred are the race of sinful men to whom He is so intimately bound. On His account, forgiveness is granted for them. On His account, forgiveness is possible for the sin of slaying Jesus (of which we are all guilty), since it was a sin of ignorance: of His slayers, He said, “Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34). Others may raise the objection that the dominion of Satan over men is protected by some ‘right’ or ‘position’ which he holds as a result of Adam’s fall. This thought advances the moral, emotional, human view of the atonement, which makes it consist, not in an expiratory act (which is the sense of having power to atone for, or
offered by way of, expiation or propitiation), but in such a manifestation of God’s love and mercy in the self-sacrifice of His Son, that it melts the soul of the sinner in penitence and kindles love in return. Expiation extinguishes the guilt of the transgressor by a definite act, not an emotional experience. (Again, let the reader understand). The vicarious work of Christ is a real and absolute equivalent for which the transgressor owes to God and to His justice. As such, it is urgent that we truly recognize the means by which we as individual men and women, may be cleansed of our sins, both Adamic and iniquitous. How? Look at God’s steps to such a condition. He is the Provider. Recognize that you are a sinner, and that you are unable to atone for your own sins. “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one”. Rom. 3:10. Neither you nor I nor Mr. Jones down the street is righteous enough to stand before God. “For All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”. Rom. 3:23. If God Himself were standing in the very room with you, you could not be there, could not exist or survive in the glory and goodness and sinlessness of His presence. “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men,
of them statistically has a shot at a normal life. Most of them will end up in incarceration or dead. Many of them actually commit suicide before the age of 21 and many of the young women go almost immediately into trafficking,” LaForce shares. “So it’s really kind of a desperate situation and hosting makes a radical change in that…it gives them access to a Christian family that’s invested in their future and cares about them. And it just breaks up that statistic of hopelessness that’s in the lives of so many of these kids.” As LaForce says, these kids are looking for a lifeline. Someone who cares about them, their future, and acknowledges their worth. Orphan hosting helps do this because when the hosting period is up, families almost always keep in touch with the child who’s life they mingled with theirs. We’ve met some pretty fantastic kids who are desperate to be hosted this Christmas! They long for a family to show them love. In fact, LaForce knows the impact hosting has on a child from personal expe-
rience. “We hosted a teen girl in our home a year ago at Christmas and we got to tell her a little bit about Jesus. We got to walk that light before her, but it was
for that all have sinned”. Rom. 5:12. That one man was Adam. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Rom. 5:8. God showed, demonstrated His love for us by the sacrifice of His Son for us – you and me. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord”. Rom. 6:23. You earn your wages as you do your works, and receive your pay at the end of the period. But the wages of sin accumulate in a death sentence. The soul that sins, it shall die. However, God provided a gift of eternal life and forgiveness of sin through Jesus Christ! “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Rom. 10:910. If you say with your mouth – speak out the words – that you believe and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ for your salvation, and you believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead – YOU SHALL BE SAVED!!! Pray humbly and wholeheartedly and seriously in that manner, expressing those thoughts from your heart. He will answer you and save you – today. young girl’s favor. Yet through hosting, God did a work in her life and changed it for the better. “You know, many of the kids that come over for hosting, they find Jesus… And even some of them,

And it was amazing that through the help of a translator, we were actually able to lead her through the sinner’s prayer and usher her into the family of God. So it was a really powerful experience.” The odds were not in this
just over the course of life and staying in touch with host families, they ultimately come to know the Lord,” LaForce explains. These sweet kiddos are desperate to be hosted.

Sending Petitions to God & Government to Defend Religious Freedom
Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt, PhD
Supreme Court Obama says Obama forces takes Co-Ed “No Aid for Chaplains to buy Christians” from Homosexual Bathroom Case by High School unless they Suppliers convert to LGBT
The Obama Administration just dictated another “rule” banning religious contractors from helping to distribute federal aid to the poor, unless they convert to pro-homose xual views. “The Obama administration announced a rule last week that threatens to strip federal contracts from religious relief organizations and charities that adhere to traditional views of gender and sexuality, continuing a trend of governmental hostility toward religion,” reports The Washington Times. “National Security Adviser Susan E. Rice said the rule prohibits organizations that contract with the U.S. Agency for International Development from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in the administration of aid... “I’m pleased to note that
just yesterday a new rule went into effect that explicitly prohibits discrimination by USAID contractors,” she said. “This rule means that any organization that contracts with USAID must ensure that all people can benefit from its federally funded programs, regardless of race, religion, disability — or sexual orientation and gender identity.” [Dr. Chaps’ comment: It is unconstitutional to ban religious persons while favoring non-religious persons from either receiving or distributing aid intended for the poor. What’s next, they will only serve pro-homose xual poor people and starve Christian workers and receipients because of their faith? This is blatant anti-Christian persecution by President Obama, who acts as the puppet of the Homose xual “Rights” Campaign.]
President Obama is threatening to veto the entire Pentagon budget (NDAA) because Congress included a religious freedom amendment overrriding his Executive Order which currently forces military chaplains to buy all supplies from pro-homose xual vendors. “Chaplains use diverse and varied contractors to help facilitate their ministerial services. For example, a chaplain may seek a vendor to provide ecclesiastical supplies such as communion wine or religious music for worship, and virtually everything in between. Historically, chaplains have been free to use vendors who meet their denomination’s religious standards with little or no government interference,” reports The Hill. “In 2014, President Obama signed Executive Order (EO) 13672, which severely restricts and undermines our chaplains’ ability
to choose vendors that align with their denomination’s religious eligibility criteria. EO 13672 forces all federal contractors and subcontractors to affirmatively state that they make employment decisions without regard to sexual orientation or gender identity. Non-complying contractors are declared ineligible to contract with the federal government. Notably, EO 13672 does not provide any religious exemptions. “Thankfully, Congressman Steve Russell (R-OK) recognized this moral dilemma, and submitted a smart, necessary amendment to this year’s NDAA. The Russell Amendment simply applies the well-established religious exemption found in Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to federal contractors, including military religious vendors.” [Dr. Chaps’ comment: Continuation on Page:12
A Virginia high school is trying to keep cross-dressing boys out of the girls locker room, but their defense will now be reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court. “The Supreme Court added five new cases to its docket this afternoon. Among the new grants was Gloucester County School Board v. G.G., the case of a transgender student who identifies as a boy and wants to be allowed to use the boys’ bathroom at his Virginia high school,” reports SCOTUS blog. “Although the controversy over the school board’s policy requiring students to use the restrooms and locker rooms that match the gender that they were assigned at birth instantly became the highest-profile case of the court’s term so far, the dispute actually centers on more technical (and, some would say, rather dry) legal issues. In this case, the district court ruled against G.G., relying
on a 1975 regulation that allows schools to provide ‘separate toilet, locker room, and shower facilities on the basis of sex,’ as long as those facilities are comparable to those provided to the opposite sex. “But, in January 2015, the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights issued an opinion letter stating that, if schools separate students in restrooms and locker rooms on the basis of their sex, a ‘school generally must treat transgender students consistent with their gender identity.’ In light of the 2015 letter, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit reversed and ruled for G.G. It relied on the Supreme Court’s 1997 decision in Auer v.

“A federal judge on Thursday sided with women’s health provider Planned Parenthood in a lawsuit aiming to block a Mississippi law that barred medical providers that perform abortions from participating in the state’s Medicaid program,” reports Reuters. “The decision by U.S. District Judge Daniel Jordan III is the latest in a string of rulings striking down similar laws elsewhere in the country against the women’s health provider. “Jordan’s two page order noted a ruling from the 5th U.S. District Court of Appeals that rejected a similar law in Louisiana, saying ‘essentially every court to consider similar laws has found that they violate’ federal law.

It set her whole life on a new course and we can really see that.” Hosting is also a beautiful opportunity to live out James 1:27, which says, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” So if you would, take a risk and open up both your heart and your home to a child who has known neither of these things and share Christ’s love over this Christmas season.

ample, when some one repents of a 20-year smoking habit during a counseling session and the minute he or she leaves, light up a cigarette, a voice in their mind might declare that they are a failure and the counseling session was a failure. I understand Satan’s tactics and just before the session is over; I warn them of the challenges they will face. I encourage folks to find a Godly, loving, Bible teaching church community if they do not have one. Then find a mature Christian to help them with their spiritual challenges. Finally, I tell each counselee that when they feel they have failed, they are to ask the Lord immediately to help them become free of the addic-
Counselor’s Corner Let’s Walk By Louise Alleva
Over the past several months, I have been writing about the importance of a relationship with God and His love for you through His son Jesus. It can set you free of any bondage or judgements you may have towards others and yourself. It is my heart as a Christian counselor, through the direction of the Holy Spirit, to guide you to the realization of God’s love. However, there comes a time when you must begin to walk out your newly acquired freedom. It may even begin the moment
you walk out of your meeting with your counselor or minister. The Lord has many promises as in Jeremiah 29:11, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” There is also an enemy named Satan who has his plans for you and will work full time to get you to return to your previous patterns of hurts, judgements, addictions, etc. even as soon as you close the counseling door behind you.

tion of smoking for example and to believe they are not condemned or feel hopeless. Christian maturity is not a smooth road. It is a battle against “the wicked spiritual forces in the heavenly world.” (Ephesians 6:12b). However, it is our responsibility to learn Satan’s strategies and understand that he is out to “steal, kill, and destroy” all of us. We must realize who we are in Christ and how we can mount a very effective defense and good offense. Therefore, when the ministry sessions are over I would give them a copy of a guideline called “Walking It Through”. Following are the examples from this aide and it is my hope that you will pursue expanding it with your own experiences as you realize who you really are as a child of God. Defense: Constantly claim the protection that is yours in Christ by put ting on the full armor of God,
(Ephesians 6:13-18). Avoid going to places or associating with people that would wound your self-image. Stop allowing negative self-talk in your thoughts and start playing praise and worship music often. Best of all get to know God better. Then you will be able to recognize His voice and able to combat the enemy’s voice. Offense: Attack the enemy in prayer and self-talk. Be intimate with God in prayer, as we now understand that we are accepted and loved by Him. Get a copy of Father’s Love Letter (free online), speak it aloud and firmly believe God’s love is for you using the scriptures in the letter. Begin to ACT AS IF GOD LOVES YOU! Spend as much time as possible with Him through reading the Bible, Daily devotions, God’s Promises, etc. With all of this as our foundation, we can stand in our authority to command the enemy to stop telling lies

My name is Servant William Martinez, a servant of God to the incarcerated, the poor and the needy. I am sixty-four years old and have a wonderful testimony of the goodness of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. The Lord has chosen me to preach to the men incarcerated in our state prisons and to bring them hope with the love of Jesus Christ. It was on June 8, 2015 when I decided to take my wife and Grandchild to Orlando to celebrate our 45-year marriage. At the same time, we decided we would take our grandchild to enjoy Disney. The first week went very well with much joy and excitement together celebrating and enjoying the park. But during the second week, all hell broke out. The park was fun and wonderful. We had a great time doing all the activities available. As it began to grow dark, we stopped and enjoyed a great dinner together as a family the headed back to our resort hotel for the night. It was around midnight that I got this bad headache. I told Dora, my wife, that I was not feeling well. When I tried to go to the restroom, the pressure on my head got worse causing me to pass out.

Miraculously Healed of Bob Dylan: Bleeding in the Brain The Mystery Continues ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO (ANS – October 20, 2016) -- As I was sitting in section five of the Kiva Auditorium in Albuquerque, New Mexico watching Bob Dylan perform -- a few concerts after the announcement that he had won the Nobel Prize in literature -- I couldn’t help but scratch my head. Not because the concert was bad. It wasn’t. Being that I’ve seen Mr. Dylan in concert multiple times across a couple of states (the best being a concert with Van Morrison in California), I’ve become an amateur connoisseur of Dylan concerts, knowing when Mr. Dylan and his band are on, and when they are not. His concert in Albuquerque was good, particularly with the pressure of the Nobel Prize pressing around him.

lan is his faith. Dylan is known to shock the world. The first major shock was his transition from acoustic to electric music. The incident even has its own Wikipedia page [2.]. The second major shock was his conversion to Christianity. Yet after the conversation, many Christians tried to exploit his newfound faith, trying to reel him in like a caught fish. Dylan then shocked the Christian community by
Bob Dylan performing after it awarded him the Nobel Prize in literature.” Of course, Dylan may enjoy the mystique of the wait. Or he may just be busy. Who knows? The mystery remains. If I were Mr. Dylan, I’d run like a cat on fire to the committee, counting it an honor to be in the same breath as T. S Eliot, John Steinbeck,
Double Oscar winner, Al Kasha, a Jewish follower of Jesus, with Dan Wooding at his home. Why I scratched my head was because after all these years of fame, Dylan, 75, still remains a mystery. As an example, as of this writing, Mr. Dylan has

Our selftalk should, “fill our minds with those things that are good and deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable.”(Philippians 4:8b). You see, self-talk should be a scriptural lifestyle. No person can constantly behave in a way that is inconsistent with the way he or she sees themselves. If you see yourself as a child of God who is spiritually alive in Christ, you will begin to live in victory and freedom as He sees you. “Next to a knowledge of God, a knowledge of who you are is by far the most important truth you can possess” (Neil Anderson, The Victory over Darkness.”) Blessings and Love, Louise Alleva, D.

releasing the album, Infidels. Some Christians were stunned, interpreting it as a denouncement of the church (but not Christ), returning to “secular” themes. Did Dylan leave the faith, they asked? Dylan has remained quiet on the issue of his faith for the most part. But British author, broadcaster and journalist, Dan Wooding, founder of the ASSIST News Service, wrote a story stating that Bob Dylan’s faith is strong and intact [2]. This statement came about when Wooding interviewed Al Kasha, a Jewish follower of Jesus, a double Oscar winner, and the man that shared Christ with Mr. Dylan at his Beverly Hills home Bible study. During the interview, Wooding asked Kasha, “So is Bob Dylan a believer?” Kasha replied firmly, “The answer is yes.” Kasha continued, “and I Continuation on Page:11

ous public to know. And here the answer is simple: his music and his art. And though Dylan doesn’t go to great lengths to discuss or interpret his music (he leaves that for the critics and reporters), he lets the regular releases of albums do the talking for him. And of course, the high-profile concerts help keep Dylan relevant and renowned, as the recent billing with the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, the Who, and others testify [5]. On the other hand, Dylan is open to discuss his artwork. In a recent New York Times article
entitled, Another Side of Bob Dylan: Iron Sculptor, reporter Joe Coscarelli, talks with Dylan about his visual arts pursuits [6], both as painter and sculpture. Dylan recently landed a major commission for the Prince George Resort, creating a 26-foot by 15-foot gate for the MGM hotel and casino. Additionally, Dylan has exhibited his paintings in numerous museums and galleries, including an exhibit at the New Orleans Museum of Art [7]. It appears; however, Dylan just doesn’t like all the attention the tributes bring, yearning for an elusive and mysterious existence. Dylan has said in the past, “Having these colossal accolades and titles, they get in the way.” And if you believe Dylan, writing comes before all of his creative pursuits. Dylan once said, “I consider myself a poet first and a musician second. I live like a poet and I’ll die like a poet.” And as many have said, Dylan was the poet of his generation. So, in the end, the Nobel Prize award in literature is fitting for a Continuation on Page:12

President Elect Trump, Now What?
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 2 Chron 7:14 Elections show the spiritual condition of the land. By casting a vote, you are saying, “I stand with the values, principles, and vision of this candidate”. Good or bad, it shows the heart of the voter. It is a sad state of affairs when this great country of America has such a close race between one who stands for abortion, same sex-marriage, and socialism or the one who clearly does not. How could this be?
There are two reasons to consider here. The first is because the people voting are unsaved, they have no Godly knowledge or values. The second is because the Church is asleep and has more concern with self than overall Godly principles. This means the real church must rise to the hour and get to the business of soul-winning. As our Scripture states, we must seek His face, turn from our wicked selfish ways of complacency and concentrate on the Fathers business of bringing in the lost. I believe the mercy of God kept Clinton out of the white house so our religious freedoms would not be hindered.

Donald Trump may have his issues, but he is not an oppressor of the Gospel nor the freedoms we enjoy. Thus Father God has answered our prayers and given to us an extended window of time to reach those who are perishing. We could have been yoked with an administration that favors muslims over Americans continuing on for another four years. We could have seen Sharia Law introduced and welcomed in parts of this country which is the forerunner to persecution of the church. But for the mercy of God. The real issue in all of this and the lesson to be learned, is the need to win our circle of influence. These election issues

would not be a problem if the righteous were in the majority. They do come into play when the church is in the minority. It is time for revival in this great land. Call it what you may but we need a good ole soul winning flood to sweep across America. One that will encompass not only the unsaved, but bring conviction upon the congregational sleepers too. I ask you to join with me in spending your time, money and efforts on winning those around you to the Lord. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice Prov 29:2
