The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day
of trouble; and He knows them that trust in Him. Nahum 1:7 In my brief exhortation before the congregation yesterday morning, I shared this verse from the little known Old Testament book by the prophet, Nahum... Behold, I stand at the door and knock:
if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me. Revelation 3:20 Yesterday I was very fortunate. My chaplain is on another vacation. But before he left, he placed Philip and I in charge of overseeing the worship service... Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon
His name, make known His deeds among the people... Talk ye of all His wondrous works. I Chronicles 16:8-9 Project Yellowknife is now underway. "What is this?" you ask? The Lord has directed my heart to begin writing to different churches in the city of Yellowknife... They seem to enjoy playing games with me whenever I would look at them. Some of these celestial creatures have faces like men, but bodies like dragons...
And let us not be weary in well doing:
for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9 I'd like to continue with what I was discussing yesterday. In relation to battle fatigue, last night I had the desire to confess to the Lord (within the privacy of my prison cell) that I have been somewhat disappointed and bitter about a certain matter... Come unto Me, all ye that labour and
are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 I have been dealing with a condition known as "Battle Fatigue." I'm not kidding. For a while now I have mistakenly labeled it chronic fatigue and a general feeling of tiredness which never seems to go away... I can do all things through Christ who
strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 Recently the Lord revealed to me that whenever a Christian is called by the Lord to do something, it requires a degree of supernatural strength... You will show me the path of life;
in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11 NKJV This morning, as is my custom every Sunday, I headed to the chapel area shortly after the completion of the breakfast meal around 8:15... And I will give them a heart to know
Me, that I am the Lord: and they shall be My people, and I will be their God. Jeremiah 24:7 The parole board and the media can beat me up all they want. After all, they don't know me. But by the grace of God I am moving forward on this journey called life... They that trust in the Lord shall
be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever. Psalm 125:1 Today marks thirty-three years since I was arrested. The entire ordeal is not a fading memory. It was a nightmare that I do not care to relive or revisit... Yesterday we had fifteen inmates volunteer to set up everything we needed for today's event. They also had to pound steel stakes into the hard earth with sledgehammers in order to erect four large tents under which will sit approximately 150 people...
Be of good courage, and he shall
strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord. Psalm 31:24 I am a blessed man because my hope is in the Lord, and my strength comes from Him alone. And God's Word reminds me to be of good courage, always... But they that wait upon the Lord
shall renew their strength... Isaiah 40:31 As I wrote in my last journal entry, I need to regain both physical and spiritual strength. For awhile now I have been trying to cope with tiredness and exhaustion... Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He
shall strengthen thine heart; wait, I say, on the Lord. Psalm 27:14 For a long while now I've noticed that I am lacking the inner strength and spiritual power that I had enjoyed in the past... |
