Sharing something Good.

Another note to my friends, readers and fellow soldiers in Christ, before I hit the hay. If anyone knows something about power chairs and/ or power scooters that help disabled ones get around, I am having a problem charging my scooter, a Golden Avenger that I like. I tried re-setting the kick out button in back of the seat, and tried changing the fuse in the charger itself, but it still won't charge-- and that will prevent me from seeing my wife in Milwaukee because it's so far from where I park my truck, and my knees and back are screaming at me already. I am not complaining-- just stating a fact, and that is why I have my power scooter that helps me get around and gives me/ us, quality of life! I know that I will have new joints in heaven, if not from the VA...

I also want to share a few points of interest with my dear friends who have to deal with abusive or unbelieving spouses who make things hard for the Christian to practice their Faith and be a good, loving spouse. I can speak about my own failings and many mistakes in relationships -- and maybe someday I may put them in a book-- a big book, lol. I like to communicate with people on my 'own level' in a quick, descriptive, intelligent manner, and that's why I appreciate most combat Veterans and Bible students who know how to speak my ENGLISH language, and I always had a love for languages in high school, studying Latin, French and German. But I like people to pay attention and respond in good order, and try to answer my questions with truth and clarity the FIRST time!
I hate to have to ask 10 questions to get a simple answer, and I don't like to play mind games.
Back to unbelieving spouses who just don't have the humility or desire to accept the Lord and do His will... I want to recall Jesus' words in Matthew 10: 32..... "Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven. But who ever denies ME before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven. Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter in law against her mother in law; 36. and a man's enemies will be enemies of his household. 37. He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of me.

Friends, and brother/ sister in Christ, you don't hear too many preachers and churches talk about 'this side of Jesus' now days-- yet His words have a big time application now in the 'end times' more than EVER!! This is not doom and gloom preaching, this is the stark reality of spiritual warfare! Soldiers and Patriots should understand this the best. Like I said before, Jesus doesn't want any cowards in heaven [see Rev. 21: 8... and the first type of people mentioned there...] --COWARDS! Actually, it takes a lot of guts/ courage to speak about something very unpopular and even die for a belief. But go figure, the heathen and atheist may fight and die for what they believe-- but guess where they are going for all eternity according to Jesus in the bible?? Either you believe in Jesus and the Bible -- or you don't! If WE suffer and/ or die for Christ's sake, WE are PROMISED a reward for all eternity. And in my case and my wife, Sharon [and she thought she had a 'vision' during the operation... but I told her that sometimes for lack of oxygen-- the mind plays tricks on us. But I am NOT discounting her story of course, and she said it was a very positive experience that gave her strength in the Lord!] we are older, when the strong body starts to break down and we realize just how mortal we are. We are really only a heart beat away from eternity!! Ask my wife!

I like to reason that this whole world is going down he toilet [ although you sure won't get that 'news' from main line TV...or the Gov't...] and NO HUMAN CAN PUT IT BACK ON THE RIGHT COURSE! Prideful men and greedy 'leaders' will say they can, but who are they really fooling? Certainly not the well read, studied Christian who loves Jesus and accepts Him!
For the unbelieving spouse, husband or wife, God sees our constant fight to maintain our love, respect, integrity, and obedience to the 'Golden Rule', and we WILL be rewarded in due season. I well know that sometimes 30-40 years may seem like eternity, but even 100 years is just a drop in the bucket compared to everlasting life with God-- or in nasty hell, and Jesus actually spoke more about hell than He did heaven. Yet, some of us will continue in selfish lusts of the present Satanic system--giving in to the temptations of humans and demons daily, instant gratification, immoral behavior, wrongful deaths, crime, greed, and corruption. They are NOT 'sick' as the pill popping liberals and 'doctors' -- want everyone to believe-- they are just plan wicked and evil !!

Some of you people from the Inter Net, friends, have really helped me deal with a great depression and dilemma with my wife almost croaking on me and leaving me alone-- but she got a '2nd chance'-- PTL, and now we are both thrilled at the prospect of starting over, but concentrating on Jesus this time . In a way, it's like combat, where you know you could be killed ANY day from a number of things, and you promise yourself that if you ever get back home alive to the USA-- you will live the rest of your life a different way.

It was a pleasure and privilege posting this message, and I know that some will embrace it and be thankful as it hits home. I want to share my 'good things' with people I care about and encourage them as they have done to me.

Thank you, friends!

Tom
