THE SPOKEN WORD a
l e t t e r
f r o m
Greetings, Once again the season in which have been set aside to celebrate the birth of Christ is upon us. just this morning in church I got to witness “13” souls saved by the confession of faith in Christ Jesus! The amazing thing about this morning’s service was, the altar call was given at the beginning of the service, instead of at the end. That’s what Jesus came into the world to do to save souls anytime - anywhere! As the brother said in making his appeal for guys to come to Christ: “you may not live to see the end of this service”! I know that there are many who read this newsletter on a regular basis, or you just come by it from someone else that have not accepted Christ as Lord and Savior. With this being the season we celebrate the birth of Christ (and not just this season), us at The Day of the Lord Ministries “plead” with anyone who haven’t accepted Christ in their life, to do so without
o u r
f o u n d e r
delay. Just as we had a wonderful service this morning, and welcomed 13 brothers into the family of God, just last night a fellow inmate was rushed to the hospital after having a major heart attack! I’m told this guy “didn’t” or “don’t” (don’t know his status) know the Lord. Men, women, and children never assume you have plenty of time to do what man have been encouraged to do since Christ came into the world - “REPENT” and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ! The vast majority of you don’t know me or my past. But I can assure you that I’m truly a new creature in Christ simply by accepting what He did and where He now is, by “FAITH”! Don’t worry about your past or if you’re worthy of His love and forgiveness, just believe His word when He said: “whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved”. After trying everything else, I dare you to try Jesus! If something I’ve said compelled any of you to call on the Lord Jesus, please let the ministry know, and get
with some strong mature Christians to help you in your walk. Be Blessed, V.L. Wilson Sr.

Our Vision
The mission of “The Day of the Lord Ministries” is to embrace offenders, ex-offenders, and their family members with love through the various groups under our umbrella; to assist them in becoming equipped with the things they’ll need to be productive citizens, and loving family members.
Membership in The Day of The Lord Ministries includes all persons participating in any of the stated Ministries who choose to embrace our stated vision and values
To be an instrument through which the power of the Holy Spirit can minister to offenders, exoffenders, and their family members. Causing them to be self confident as they learn their purpose; to develop a new attitude toward their circumstance and rise above it.
“For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savoir, who is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:11 “WHAT IS CHRISTMAS?” Every year people from all around the world, and of all ethnic groups go in debt buying and exchanging gifts on December 25th. That is the date that has been handed down through many generations as the day to celebrate Christmas (the birth of Christ). How that date was chosen I can’t say, but there’s no scripture reference to indicate what day our Savior was born. Then somewhere along the way Santa Claus started being affiliated with Christmas, and you have people celebrating this day for all the wrong reasons. In the Great Commission Jesus told His disciples: “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you…” (Matthew 28:19-20). Personally, I haven’t found nowhere in Scripture where Jesus commanded His disciples to “observe” His birth. I’m not saying that those who celebrate Christmas are wrong for doing so. Because Romans 14:5-6 informs us to let each one of us be “fully convinced” as to why we esteem one day above another. I simply want all believers to know why they celebrate Christmas. I believe we all would be better off if we celebrated the birth of Christ everyday. That we give and help those in need everyday, and not just during the holiday season. Jesus said when you do for those in need; you have done it for Him (Matthew 25:34-40). The birth, death, and resurrection of Christ are a very significant part of history. If you celebrate them on the dates appointed by man, be sure you know why!
Be Blessed! Virgil L. Wilson Sr.

ACTIVE FRONTLINE MESSAGE FOR DECEMBER For all the brothers who are married...or have a special women in their lives, think about this: What is her favorite flower? Is it a rose? A tulip? Carnations? Whatever it may be...she is the flower...and we are her stem. It is our responsibility to be firmly rooted in God’s word and feed her what she needs to be as pretty and healthy as can be. If we aren’t firmly rooted, she’ll wither and die. Think about it. Active Frontline Ministries Yuri K. Luckette #679441 Beto One
SCRIPTURE OF THE MONTH BY REY P.: Who is Jesus Christ? What view of Jesus do you have? Teacher, Prophet, Just some good person who lived a moral life? And the men marveled saying: “What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?” (Matt. 8:27) “OUR GOD” I cannot say what tomorrow will bring; or even the next second of breath, but I know for certain my God is near; to help me endure the test. Satan is busy I see it all around; and he’s not losing his every fight, but for those of us who trust our God; will approach our battle in might, for we know He guides and protects his own; and keeps us safe from harm. His hand is mighty and word is true; for He will calm our every storm. Our burdens are heavy and we are weak; we can do nothing in and of our own, but all things are possible for us to do; with Jesus the true cornerstone. No man alive can assure you breath; or promise you tomorrow will come; what man can claim to be creator of life; or maker of our sun, what man can part the mighty, mighty sea; and tell you it’s safe to cross, what father on earth would send his child; to death as payment for the lost. What woman you know could ever give birth; and never know the touch of man, what woman you know was ever born; who didn’t come from the rib of man. What man alive can arise from the dead; and tell all as to where he’s been, what man on earth can say with certainty; my child I forgive your sin, our God can heal, tear down, and rebuild; whatever meets his need, He can give roots to plants if He so desire; or cast out the very seed. By: Danny R. Dean TO MY BROTHER & SISTER, VIRGIL & SHYROLON Wilson Here’s a Christmas Shout out to you! God uses all sorts of common people to do His work like you and me! Joseph a slave to save his family, Moses to lead Israel out of bondage to the Promise Land, Hannah a house wife to save her people from massacre. As we enter into this 2012 Christmas holiday and 2013 blessed New Year, God is using you through The Day of the Lord Ministry to touch hurting men and women in white behind prison walls to give them comfort and hope for a expected end. Thank you so much for reaching way down and pulling me up. Sincerely, David Wayne Brooks; Michael Unit - Minister of Music
POEM by Harry Aguilar Sometimes God has to use correction to bring out perfection, I needed to be put in a cage to turn all my rage into praise. Where the world had me fooled the Holy Spirit had me schooled. My incarcera‐ tion reflected Jesus's resurrection, and I learned how to win against sin, so my life could begin. Now I have faith instead of disgrace and came from a heart of stone to never being alone. Before I was blind, but God was kind and now I have a renewed mind. Don't get it twisted, my soul has been lifted. Though I am still a fighter it is just now my cause is mightier, the word of the Lord is now my sword. Thank you Lord for seeking me and setting me free!!!!! :) My life is yours to be used for your glory. SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT Brothers and Sisters of the Lord. Something for you to truly think about. How is God serving His pur‐ pose through your life?? His purpose for me is to live for him and continue to do His work to bring Him lost souls, and love another as God loves me. Continue to bear good fruit, walk in integrity, love, loyalty to Him and myself. Be the light. Amen God Bless Samuel V. Harris PROCLAIMING TO BE A CHRISTIAN by Joseph Junior Evans #604541 Proclaiming to be a Christian and living your life in sin, doing the things of the world and trying to hide what you are doing, proclaiming to be a Christian walking and talking like one, but behind close doors you’re doing ungodly things giving the false illusion of a Christian. Proclaiming to be a Christian but living your life as you think that you are “Holy than Thou” been just like the Pharisees and Sadducees and not walking according to the new covenant, but walking according to the law! Not realizing that your sins will find you out making promises to people to get their belonging and saying my brethren will pay the debts for me! But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will find you out (Number 32:23). Proclaiming to be a Christian but always getting into confrontations with brethren and others; not willing to humble yourself and show humility to everyday situation and you are always right and everybody else is always wrong...for where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work (James 3:16). Proclaiming, but you don’t want to be corrected; you want to do all the correcting when you see a brethren doing wrong. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16). When you don’t like what a brethren is saying to you, you start saying that the brethren is pointing fingers at you which is a shame. You need to take a very long look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself are you living according to the scripture of the new covenant or living by the law. Proclaiming to be a Christian but don’t want to fellowship with brethren and saying my spirit will be with yall because you want to do something else or watch something on T.V….But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin (1 John 1:7). Proclaiming to be a Christian!!! Praying for you all! May God Bless You! Lord Jesus Christ Ministries
SOUL HUSTLERS FOR GOD Are you one of the many people who feel that you are helplessly bound and shackled down by homosexuality? Are you sick and tired of being defeated by such a lifestyle? Would you welcome a guaranteed change if it was available to you? if you can and have answered (yes) to any or all the above questions, then this message is just for you! “Soul Hustlers for God” is a ministry ordained by God, and spirit led by the Holy Ghost. After God saved, sanctified, and delivered me from (38) years of homosexuality. He commissioned, ordained, and equipped me to reach out to those who live an alternative lifestyle. Homosexuals, Bisexuals, Transsexuals, and Lesbians, God loves you, as I do! “Soul Hustlers for God,” is a non-profit ministry, we believe God will provide all we need to do that in which He has called us to do. Today, more than ever, homosexuality is growing rapidly. (why?) simple because Christians, (those who profess to be Christ-like), have failed or refused to treat such people with a Christ-like character. We are called to be “imitators of Christ”, a (imitator) is copying the way that someone else does something. If Christians are called to be Christ-like, and imitators of Christ, then why are so many Christians shunning and refusing to embrace those who live within a alternative lifestyle? What would Jesus do? I truly believe Jesus would embrace them with love, rebuke the homosexual spirit that controls them, and began to teach and “show them” by example that there’s a better way! “Soul Hustlers for God”, target and embrace those who live alternative lifestyles, and we strongly believe that through the guidance of the Holy Ghost and the calling God has placed upon my life, we will not fail, we will not falter, we will not wavier, and we will prove to be victorious!!!

WHAT IN (HELL) IS GOING ON THAT HAS SO MANY “CHRISTIANS” RACING TO GET THERE??? Scripture: Now the spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron. (1 Timothy 4:1-2) The condition of the church today, is an absolute (embarrassment) to the cross. The vein of God is hemorrhaging from Christians who have exchanged the (righteousness of God) for a (lie). So many of us have become the prostitute of our own minds...drinking from the cup od “sin…” with no hint of conviction; and our Sunday morning worship services are polluted with “self-centered morally depraved hypocrites.” We call ourselves (Christians), but our lifestyle depicts someone totally different. Right has become wrong… wrong has become right, and abnormal has become the norm. Men having sexual relations with men; women having sexual relations with women; husbands and wives participating in unhealthy sexual adventures (swinging); Pastors pimping the church with a watered down gospel, and the list just goes on and on. WHAT IN (HELL) IS GOING ON THAT HAS SO MANY “CHRISTIANS” RACING TO GET THERE??? If we are the salt of the earth and light of the world like the Bible says we are (Matthew 5:13-14), then we (must) walk the walk, just as well as we talk the talk. “We” the church have gotten so far away from our Christian values, that there is hardly no difference between (us and the world). Love is rarely expressed amongst one another, because so many of us have hearts that are full of hatred, lies and deception. We judge each other and others as though we are “GOD” himself—acting as if we are without spot and wrinkle. We backbite like the devastating under current of a Tsunami, and when a fellow believer happens to fall down, instead of lending them a helping had to stand tall again, so often do we (shamelessly) rest our foot upon their neck. WHAT IN (HELL) IS GOING ON THAT HAS SO MANY “CHRISTIANS” RACING TO GET THERE??? To be honest—”I don’t know and for darn sure don’t care to find out.” HEAVEN is my home, and that’s where I’m racing to get to. It is past time that (we Christians stop grieving the Holy Spirit with our ungodly ways), and rise to the occasion of being the children of God that we are “born again” to be. This is (not) a contest, so we mustn’t treat it as such. However, the Christian life is and should be our way of life - because the only one we should be striving to impress, is “GOD” himself. So let us all “examine ourselves” today, and make the necessary adjustments. AMEN! A man after God’s own heart, Minister Oesby Mr. Antonio Oesby #13350-007 FCC, USP-2 PO BOX 1034 Coleman, Florida 33521
Hi, my name is Tiffany Brown and I am married to inmate James O. Brown, Jr. He is at the Carol Vance Unit in Richmond, TX. We have been married for almost 13 years and he has been incarcerated for 17 years. He will be released in March of 2014. Third times a charm with parole. Never give up and keep the faith with your family member coming home. It is all in God's time not our time. That is hardest thing to keep in mind, but keep the faith. I love this time of year whenever we focus on giving thanks to the many blessings that God blesses us with. The one that sticks out the most are blessings. I had the privilege of being on the other side of the coin. I was a volunteer at the marriage seminar along with many others. As I was going through the weekend and seeing all of the couples it made me reflect on how many blessings there are around all of us each day. These blessings can be as small as a smile or as big as getting to hug your husband for three days straight. To those who are wives, sisters, brothers, mothers and fathers of an inmate you all know how lucky that extra time is with our loved ones. Now for those who are married to an inmate this is for you. Precious time is all we have once a week, but when we get to have the family days or the day with dad it makes our journey so much better. Those extra minutes are so special. We hope and pray for those extra minutes we get at visitation and that extra time to hold their hand for just moments longer. These things that everyone else that has not gone through this situation take for granted. I watched each couple interact with one another for three days. I saw the growth in their relationships, the hearts restored from the past and the devotion to each other. The whole weekend was about the many blessings that were showered over each one that was there. The love of God radiating off each person there. No matter what religion each person knew, they felt the love, many blessings and of course acceptance. The ministry World Wide Voice of the Wilderness gives the marriage seminar's and they show all of the love and many blessings those who attend feel. During this time of year weather you are a family member of an inmate or you are the inmate, remember love, dedication, honor and most of all keeping your eyes on God you can do anything under the umbrella of his plan for your life. I am privileged to be addressing each one of you and I wish many, many blessings to you and your family. Pray hard, keep the faith and never let a blessing go by without giving thanks to the one who blesses you each day. God Bless You Always, Tiffany Brown Isaiah 40:31
“COUNT IT ALL JOY” Read James 1:2-4 Becoming a Christian does not automatically exclude a BELIEVER from DIFFICULTIES…(1 Peter 1:6), present TRIALS are only for a little while, see the proper ATTITUDE in meeting ADVERSITY “COUNT IT ALL JOY” James said let joy reign when you are surrounded by many TRIALS as a mean of SPIRITUAL GROWTH. “COUNT IT ALL JOY” my brother knowing that TESTING of your FAITH produce PATIENCE, see PRODUCE means more of…(Romans 5:3-4) says and not only that, but we also GLORY in TRIBULATIONS knowing that TRIBULATIONS produces PRESERVERANCE and PERSEVERANCE, CHARACTER and CHARACTER, HOPE. See when a Christians character goes through HARDSHIP, hope of receiving what GOD has promised grows STRONGER, because TESTING carries the idea of proving GENUINENESS, patience is not a PASSIVE RESIGNATION to ADVERSE circumstances, but a POSITIVE steadfastness that BRAVELY ENDURES… but let patience have its PERFECT work that YOU may be PERFECT & COMPLETE LACKING NOTHING see PERFECT does not denote ABSOLUTE SINLESSNESS but carries the idea of being FULLY DEVELOPED… COUNT IT ALL JOY… 2 Timothy 3:16 & 17, Philippians 4:13 & 19 MAY GOD GREATLY BLESS EACH OF YOU IN CHRIST, EVANGELIST, JIMMY L. TENNISON
AND GOD SAID….” I said, “God, I hurt.” And God said, I know.” I said, “God, I cry a lot.” And God said, “That is why I gave you tears.” I said, “God, I am so depressed.” And God said, “That is why I gave you Sunshine.” I said, “God, life is so hard.” And God said, “That is why I gave you loved ones.” I said, “God, my loved one died.” And God said, “So did mine.” I said, “God, it is such a loss.” And God said, I saw mine nailed to a cross.” I said, “God, but your loved one lives.” And God said, “So does yours.” I said, “God, where are they now?” And God said, “Mine is on My right and yours is on the Left.” I said, “God, it hurts.”And God said, I know.” AMEN Submitted by Samuel Harris (Goree Unit) (THIS CHRISTMAS BE IRRESISTIBLE TO GOD) As we enter into the Christmas holidays we all should want to be irresistible to God. When I think about that the best way I can describe it is how Chocolate Covered Peanuts are irresistible to me. Here in prison they sell Chocolate Covered Peanuts at the prison store for the holidays. So I bought me a bad and for me it’s almost impossible for me to open a bag without eating the whole bag. So I opened the bag and are a few and they was so good, so I ate a little more so I closed the bag before I ate the whole bag and I locked them up in my locker. So the next day I went to work and I must confess that I had Chocolate Covered Peanuts on my mind. At the end of the work shift I shot home and found myself sitting on the floor eating the remainder of those irresistible Chocolate Covered Peanuts. That’s how we are to God when we live in humility, God just loves humble people and he can’t help but bless them. (Proverbs 15:33, 18:12) tells us that humility comes before honor. God wants to honor you with His many blessings when you walk in humility and give Him the glory. This Christmas don’t forget to humble yourself and you will be irresistible to God. Michael Unit Minister of Music, David Wayne Brooks MERCY UNTIL IT’S PAIN… When it’s time to see the light, When it’s time to let the tears fall, mind altering into sadness, love start being confuse, heart getting congested with hate, never let the bad overwhelm he good, keep your head up, make your God proud. So much pain to sustain, so much life to live, ain’t no way of saying it, the Holy Ghost shuffle can be the dance, when it’s time to shake the devil off, shake it off permanently, when misery turn to pain, in make the mind soar, it’s pain when you fall in that trap of wickedness. When you trapped in your own evil dealings that’s in your own mercy. When you’re locked up singing the blues, that’s the pain of the mercy of our sins. Shout out to: Yoakmon Hearn - Yuri Luckette - Michael Robinson...to everybody that read this newsletter get a BIG shout out from Grape St. William Conner
I want to shout out to: Virgil & Shyrolon Wilson, and The Free World. I received my first newsletter and I must admit that it feels good to see how many people care for people that’s on lock, I must admit also that I’m very upset with us as men, this is my first time coming to prison and I want the world to believe that God got different wake-up-calls for everyone (coming to prison was mine), it’s a blessing because it allowed me nothing but time to hear God’s voice along with love ones which was always trying to get me to become a real-man instead of always thinking about myself, 90% of men are here because of that reason. The last 5 years the wool has finally fallen off my eyes so NOW I see and understand life as it should be for one that consider his self a Man, a real-man thinks about others (all around) and knows how to listen and understands others and is willing to teach, it all consist of a man being in control on a positive note. I use to be a gang-member and was out of control until 5 years ago, I put myself in school, got my GED, enrolled myself into a very positive program Bridges to Life, got myself off gang-file etc...It feels good to finally be in control of my life, I also put myself on a mission to help other gang members focus on life and becoming the man we’re supposed to be, I feel so bad for a lot of family members; mainly wives and children, we as men need to step up to the plate and live a honest life, we work in here for-FREE. I’ve set myself a goal to go to this TYC halfway house in Dallas once a month to talk to the young fella’s about Boy-hood-n-Man-hood. One more thing before I close, I’ve learned that trials and tribulations come from God, every human being goes thru them, so the main important thing is how we handle them when they come. It’s also important that we understand the difference between a NEED or WANT, we bring stress upon ourselves a lot of times because we’re not satisfied to enjoy the needs that God bless us with. I’m up for parole in 7 months and God blessed me with the gift to give advice, I’m much better in person, if there’s any group of kids y’all know that need some advice, please look me up, I truly believe that’s one of my callings from God. Kevin Smith #870145, Hughes Unit, Rt. 2, Box 4400, Gatesville, TX 76597 “WHAT ARE YOUR DESIRES”? I’m sure as individuals we all have different desires, but as men and women of God our desires should line up with the Word of God! Now lets go to the Word of God. (Luke 16:19-21) (v.21) and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table, moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. Now we have a man’s desire is to eat crumbs off this man’s table. Now I guess if you’re a beggar you may feel that this rich man has top quality crumbs. But these crumbs will only sustain your physical being. But that’s what he desired! Now let’s go to (1 Peter 2:2) as newborn babes desire sincere milk of the word that ye may grow thereby. Now Peter says that we should desire the word as babes desire sincere milk. What are your desires? One desired the carnal thing of the flesh, and one desired the Word. see once we desire the sincere Word of God, we want have to beg for crumbs! (Psalm 37:25) (If we only desire Matthew 6:33) What are your desires? Now lets look at that word; desire. Its not just wishing for something but its an intense longing for something! A sense of need creates desire. Desire should intensify our prayer life (Matthew 5:6) that hunger and desire, should be brought before God. Desire is the basis of unceasing prayer, not a shallow prayer. Desire is intense but specific. It wants a few things and wants it so badly that nothing but God’s willingness to answer will bring about that peace. Before I close lets go to (Psalm 27:4) David didn’t allow his desires to spread out everywhere, but was very specific. Our desires must be made personal and be centered on God! The question is, what are our desires? Crumbs from the table, or the sincere milk which is the Word of God? I hope and pray that all readers and their families have a nice and safe holiday! Also thanks to the prayer team, and Mr. Thomas. Sherman Harris - Michael Unit
SOMEBODY IS LISTENING - BRO. MICHAEL HOWARD - BEING PERSECUTED FOR JESUS Greeting & Happy Holidays! To all my brothers and sisters in Christ, grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. Who would be persecuted for Jesus? Or who would give their life for Jesus “right now?” Kind of like being ask by God to go and sacrifice your only son. Alright, you get the picture. Not many can say they would do this. And if they did, they would be another Simon Peter. In Matt. 26: 31-35 Peter boldly declared he would not stumble, then went on to tell Jesus: “Even if I have to die with you, I will not deny you! was Peter lying to Jesus? Absolutely not! Peter wanted to be faithful to Jesus but couldn’t because his flesh overpowered him. He loved his own life more than he desired God’s will. He did not recognize the true condition of his heart. Men of God! Who will be persecuted for Jesus? Our persecutions compared to the Apostle’s is like eating baby food vs. stones. I understand we’re not in those days (Thank You Jesus) but we are still under attack by Satan and his demons. When I look in the mirror I ask myself, am I a real Christian, fake, phony or perpetrator, because I want to make sure I do not get on that high horse where I think my boo-boo don’t stink. When I rededicated my life to Christ in 2010, that last night in front of everyone who listen, we call it preaching - but at that time I didn’t know what it was because God had come inside me. I was talked about, mocked, etc, etc,!! That only made me stronger in Christ. I rejoiced in being persecuted for Jesus. I thank you Jesus for letting it be evident who I serve. I pray, God, that you will continue to increase my fear for you, because I’m not there yet. I thank you Lord Jesus that you moved me to preach the gospel to my brothers in white and I thank you Jesus for God fearing officers who also hear your words. Who will be persecuted for Jesus? Not caring what men think, but what Jesus think. Family...we going to go through things that old person is quick to rise up, Satan is always waiting until we can’t take it any more. If you’re not going through things while working for Jesus, HURRY - HURRY!!! Run to the mirror! Because if you’re not going through anything then Satan already have you in some kind of a way. Most of the time our persecutions comes from our own. It comes from family, church members, the ones that is close to us hurt us the most. This ain’t no game, Satan knows his time is running out. Matt, 10:34: Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. Jesus is the “Prince of Peace” and truth must always be proclaimed in love. Christians must remember the proclamation of God’s word and its truths will bring opposition, division and persecution. Living for Jesus will bring ridicule and scorn-so don’t think its strange when people from your own Christian circle has turned on you. it’s the work of Satan working through them. Rebuke it and keep on going. see, we must “know” who we are fighting. It’s real family, and if we let our guards down long enough Satan will be sitting right next to us in disguise. So, Lord, who do I feel out numbered amongst my own brethren? And the Lord saideth: God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked everyday Psalm 7:11. My God, why do my brothers hate me so much, why do they wait for me to stumble so they can mock me? BEHOLD, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood, he made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate Psalms 7:14-16. What shall I do, oh Lord? Stand firm! Take heed to yourselves! If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. to all my brothers and sisters taking on some kind of persecution for serving Jesus...Remember, we all have one purpose; that is to “save a soul.” So don’t think its strange you stand alone, don’t think its odd you are the ONLY SOLJAH FOR JESUS! Keep your head up high and pray for the lost. Prayer: Father God, I come to you in unison with my brothers and sisters, standing in the gap for the one that don’t know you. we thank you for all you have given, taken away, and what you have in store for us, Father God, on the behalf of all the brothers - THANK YOU! We thank you for our beautiful wives, just because you could, you blessed us, thank you in Jesus name we pray, AMEN. Bro. Michael Howard - Goree Trusty Camp
Shy & Virgil “HAPPY ANNIVERSARY” 5th THANK YOU LORD! My brother’s and sister’s in Christ, I gave all praise and glory to our Lord for his love that lies on the hearts of Shy & Virgil Wilson. I’m so grateful that I have become apart of the family (sorry so late ) I pray this will help somebody see the struggler and know that it ain't over until God say so. I just got out of jail, for trying to help a gang member see the light. I spent 3 nights in solitary cause I was told I withheld information from the STG officers when in fact, when has it become a crime to do the right thang? YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO ANYTHANG WRONG TO SUFFER. Here in this life us believers get so trapped in thinking we can have the perfect job, wife, husband, life or kids and not suffer! I just now realize that when you do good wrong is coming. When times get hard, don’t cry or even look down, just because the storms is in your life, don’t be scared where it takes you. People must know that just because when can smile when its good, smile when its bad. I think about Job and in his conversation out of anger we speak words of pain. Why ask why? when we don’t understand it. If we understood it then why would not be a question of you. when the devil accuse the saints he has a objection why? look at the word (good) notice it has two o’s in it right? If you drop one of the o’s you see it is God right? So that means if people can’t see the good in you, then they can’t see God. I realize that people will always have objection to the good in me, Why? because if my past don’t respect my present how is it gone understand my future! When I was in jail those 3 days, people were talking and saying all kind of stuff, but you know what, I done what God told me to do, the inmate was back there with me, and just like that my good is evil spoke of. People we got to remain in the race, even if it mean we have to take a loss. (2 Timothy 2: 7-10) don’t let the plan of life trap you, there’s a plan A, when that doesn’t work we go to plan B, then there’s plan C that didn’t work, D is a default to A, B, C then there’s E, effect (ABC had no effect on your life) F, is finally skip over G (God) landing on H (Hell) looking at I not realizing that I (Jesus) wanted to help...Yuri Luckette, brother I still remember the words we shared while on Estelle Unit, you keep on pushing brother, know we gone have to suffer some to have the goodness of God. Virgil brother, I was feeling you on what you write bro. I too feel like that, now I’m not saying this to find somebody but I tell brothers all the time make the most of your time and get back out there to your wife. Virgil man I been in prison along time, I got saved 12-30-2008 and baptized 1-04-2009, the whole time I done 17 alone, I still feel like I must live the rest of my life alone, I’m OK with that. I thank God for you and your wife, my joy comes from you all. How God has used you both to bring love, joy, and smile to these brothers and sisters face. Even though we’re on different sides of Texas, brother I’m grateful to suffer and smile with you all at “The Day of the Lord Ministries”, don’t worry Shy God gone send you some help soon. WE MUST SUFFER 1Peter 2: 19-21 Love in Christ Minister Robert Earl aka Roc Fellowship Prayer Group Ferguson Unit
Devotional/Gospel Entertainment and News By: Javoni Jones #1463120 Eastham Unit 2665 Prison Road #1 Lovelady, TX 75851 (“The Gospel scoop” from Home groan, Buffalo New York”) Praise God, Praise God! You know who this be, this is “Javoni the realist” back up in you one moe gain, my brothaz and sistaz in Christ. I got the scoop from the Buff. I told you, some good, and some bad, but God can change something bad and turn it into something good, as He did this notorious gang member of the Los Angeles, California street gang “The Crips”, who later relocated to Buffalo, New York and started his own drug cartel empire called “Gangsta style”, and as it reads on his profile, all that was true until it all came to an end. I’ll be the first to admit, back in my younger days, well back then, when I was in my sin, I met (Donald “Sly” Green) through a source I sold drugs for, I did not do drugs, so let’s get that straight, but I sold a few stones and quarters here and there, but meeting “Sly” was no fun house, he wore dark shades in the dark, soft spoken, a man who had a cold heart, ruthless, he recruited a bunch of street thugs who took over other dealers turf, knocked people off. They found a million $ plus in his home when they raided him, he kept beating murder wraps, he had the head people in the legal system on his payroll, he was a “big meech” in deed, but more dangerous. He’s not a big guy, but he had a heart of a lion, kill at will, had shoot outs with the “rude boyz” a Jamaican posse on the Eastside of Buffalo, it got out of hand, his lavish life, and dangerous life came to an end when a federal judge was kidnapped by Sly’s hit man—entourage as they say, while he was awaiting trial, “Sly” would put hits out on people while in prison, from the outside. His wife, which was a Buffalo public school teacher was indicted, but was later released on a plea deal. “Sly” knew he could not get out of this one, he was found guilty on so many charges, it’s hard to count, as of now, he resides in one of the most infamous prison in New York state called “Attica Correctional Facility” in which he has turned his life over to God, he is now active in the church, he’s saved, he’s a prison writ writer who assist indigent inmates in filing writs, he donates to prison ministries. God has turn “Sly” into a man of God, so I say that to say this, If God can change him, what greater works he can do in and with you? Oh, it gets better, I’m going to bring it raw and uncut, every month. I got a lot more, it’s so many things going on around the world that God is doing. I’m so tired of hearing all the bad, so I bring you some bad, but later explain to you how God turned it good. J I’m going to give you updates on the Gospel News and Gospel Entertainment, rather it’s a local gospel artists on the rise, or a major gospel artists, I’m going to give it to you! Amen. Until next time P.U.S.H. and God Bless! VISION Joel 2:28 “your old men shall dream dreams; your young men shall see visions! (Vision) is essential to success. It opens doors that no man can shut because they come directly from God. In the dictionary the word vision means the act or power of anticipating that which will or may come to be: prophetic vision: the vision of an entrepreneur. (Proverbs 29:18 states “where there is no vision, the people perish, but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” There is a big difference between a vision and a dream. Dreams don’t always come true, but visions will always come true. “In the dictionary, dream means a succession of images, thoughts, or emotions passing through the mind during sleep. Notice that vision is a conscious state and dreams are an unconscious state, so know the difference. Read Habakkuk 2:2-3. Whenever God gives you a vision it’s very important to write it down, no matter what time of the day it is, act on it, be obedient and write it down what God reveals to you in a vision. Don’t tell anyone, the word days “he that readeth it may run with it, so tell no one. They can take it and benefit from it, it happens a lot. Like when me and a song writer friend of mines name “Todd T.R. Robinson” of Music Mafia/Blood Brothers publishing which is a production division of Universal/Motown records we wrote a song called “WHY”, another friend of ours at that time just left Davonte of the RNB group “Jo Deci” camp to join P. Diddy (Puff Daddy) production team “Da Hit Men” of “Bad Boy Ent” we song the song to “Stevie J. Jordan”, who took our idea, vision and song and produced the music, arrange the lyrics and sold it to a group called “112” out of Atlanta GA who was signed to P. Diddy Bad Boy records. So you must not share your vision, until you put it down and patent it as Moses did the Ten Commandments, make it Law. Do not question if it will happen, it has to happen. Copyright it, God gave you the vision, not them! God Bless & Amen. PS: my visions are finally coming to past, I’ve been trying to make dreams come true, not visions, but now GOD is making my visions come true. (smile).

*THINKING OF YOU* Thinking of all the days that God has blessed me with to be apart of your life. Thinking of all the blessing that He bestow in your heart just for me. Thinking of all the blessing of becoming a family to fulfill God’s plan. Thinking of all the love we share for one another to glorify God in all that we do. Thinking of all the fun and love we have in Christ even though we’re far apart! Thinking of this day another day to give God all the praises. Thinking of being a rock for Christ and not being moved… Thinking of you always our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. *THINKING OF YOU* Joseph Junior Evans #604541 A SHOUT OUT TO MY (QUEEN) MRS. CHARLENE OESBY
A Shout Out to my Auntie Mama (Kim) Dear Mama, I salute you… My heart giving you a standing ovation, because in these young years of my life you’ve been nothing but good to me, moreover, food to my soul that gives me my healthy determination. Whenever I were faced with an obstacle - that sometimes knocked me down, it was (always) your outstretched hand to help me stand up again, being (more) than just a caring and nurturing “Mother-” but also a loyal and dearly committed friend. And like a beautiful rose given to someone on a special occasion - truly you are (that moment)… I’ll always adore, because if it were not for you that oftentimes gave me (inspiration) - never would I now have these wings to soar . “Happy Birthday Auntie Mama” I love you and pray that (your day) was a beautiful as your smile. From my heart to yours, Your Son ~ Emotional Poet ~ Minister Oesby
A girls best friend… is (more) than what eyes can see and hands can feel, it’s the signature of “companionship” that confirms bonding is real. It’s the expression of a nexus that was made for two, it’s the center of attraction...that connects me to “you” “...and it feels so right!” Wifey, after we met and a (relationship) was eventually established between us, “I tripped over your heart and fell so deeply (in love) with you.” and since that day my life hasn’t been the same. Not only do I think of you during the day, but also while I sleep at night. It’s like you’re the oxygen in the air I breathe, and the scent of your love is so surreal. Our visit on November 30th...December 1st and 2nd was absolutely wonderful...so wonderful that I’m still marinating in the moment, and will most likely be for quite some time. That’s just the kind of affect you have on me. “I LOVE YOU!” Romantically Inebriated, Your Husband Minister Oesby
“MERRY CHRISTMAS SHOUT OUT” First to Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, to my Bro. & Sis. Virgil & Shy Wilson and Family…To my Beautiful Wife Pastor Anita Smith and all of our family. “Merry Christmas,” to all the readers of The Spoken Word Newsletter.
