| Letter 5-12 |
|
| |
I got to talk to Scott last night about all the stuff going on, YEAH!! I wanted his input about what to do with the merchandise. All that I will probably blog later but know that God is working it all out in our favor. Again YEAH!!! Oh and please pray about that too because we need all His favor we can get, LOL.
Scott asked you all to pray for a guy we will call Nick- He is having a rough time with the enemy constantly threatening him with violence. He is one of the "core" guys for Scott.
5-12 There is an Old Time radio program that comes on every night at 11pm and last an hour. I put my head set on and lay in my rack and escape from this place for a while. Afterwords we had a good prayer time in our cell. We prayed over Nick because he is due to get shipped up state soon. Then we talked for quite a while. I pray that God keeps him safe.
5-13 Jackson claims that he has more charges on me. He is holding on to them so that if I get out they will just pick me up again. I just don't understand how God is going to work all this out.
Bible study was a heart changing and commitment time. A few of the guys said that it was the best one they had ever been to here. (now these are the new guys) God was most definitely present. We talked about how God throws us a safety line. If we choose to take it we get pulled out of the sin we are in and He will save our lives. No matter what others think of our faith in Christ we need to trust Him completely. Romans 1:16-17 -not being ashamed of the Gospel. Then we ended up talking about Faith and our eternal Life decisions.
16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.
17 For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."
Two of the guys in the group will be going home tomorrow. I tried to convey the importance of giving their problems to God. I had the whole group visualizing their sins being thrown into the sea of forgetfulness. Then I had them fall into the arms of Jesus and allow Him to hold them up. Not many dry eyes. It was God working in these big burly men.
Lately we have been just breaking out the Bible and digging in. These guys are wanting to hit the meat more. I am still reading out-loud at lockdown from areas we hit on during the day.
5-14 My two guys have left. It is starting to do a complete turn around again. These guys that have now and the ones just lost in the last week, were absolutely the best group yet. One of the repeats has become the strongest of the prayer warriors. He has some of the strongest discussions I've ever heard. He was the one who used to sit on the steps outside of our Prayer calls when he was here the first time. He gave is life totally to God and now is filled with the Holy Spirit. I try to allow the guys to have the freedom to ask questions and discuss the scriptures in detail. They understand better what we study and they are memorizing scripture.
5-15 (skipage about inmate details- violent threats against Nick)
They are taking of the scripture Galatians 6:9-10 in taking care of the members of our group. And I carry on with Phill 4:13
9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
13 I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength. |

| Just awesome to hear every time. Each time I see you post an update, I stop what I am doing to read and pray. I don't like the "holding other charges" part. That has to be weighing heavy on Scott. Lord, we pray right now that Scott will have Your favor before all he comes in contact with including those who claim to be his enemies. Scott is not ashamed of You, Lord. He is not ashamed to declare You his King. He is bold beyond our understanding. Father, please bless him. Surround him with people who need You so he will be encouraged, but also surround him with Your divine presence so no arrow formed against him will prosper. We don't know what else to do, Lord, so we stand. We wait on You to renew his strength and to raise him up as an eagle. We thank You for Ruth who continues to support him. We thank You for Repeat who is so filled with You that he can't stay quiet - what an encouragement for Scott. Thank You Lord. We thank You for opening doors that only You can open. We thank You for Scott's protection, Scott's supply, Scott's witness, Scott's testimony - all of it a reflection of Your word that never returns void. We all stand with Ruth and Scott, Lord, as Your work unfolds. We all rejoice in Your favor and Your blessings. Please Lord, keep their marriage strong, their faith in You unshakable, and their love for those who hate them pure. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. |

| BTW, I didn't know the one guy's name. I hope "Repeat" is ok. Sorry about that. God knows his name. I didn't mean anything bad by the name I chose. |

Jackson claims that he has more charges on me. He is holding on to them so that if I get out they will just pick me up again. I just don't understand how God is going to work all this out. I asked God, what do you want me to write about the above sentence that literally jumped off the monitor to me ---- He said this - and write it in the Message version -- Isa 54:17 MSG but no weapon that can hurt you has ever been forged. Any accuser who takes you to court will be dismissed as a liar. This is what GOD's servants can expect. I'll see to it that everything works out for the best." GOD's Decree.

AMEN!!
Repeat will work, I will have to refer to him that way so we know who he is talking about. LOL |
|
|
| I am with Mrs. W Ruth....the whole time I read this, I just kept think of that verse. No weapon means NO WEAPON...none, not one, I like her version better! So encouraging to read these...I love you lady.... |
|
|
| I will send that verse to Scott! |
