Dear Pastor Lang,
You are one of the important persons in my life, whom our Heavenly Father used instrumentally,
in bringing me to the light. You as the Pastor, the Wakefields, Dave, and the rest of Church, all
working together, are all responsible for me getting to know Jesus. This letter is for several
reasons, and one is I hope I can encourage you and say from experience that God is always with
us no matter what. Like Dr. Hyles said (I get his sermons from his homepage on the net)
something like this, God may hide from us at times. For one of his examples was he said his
mother did this at a grocery store and then came out of hiding after she had seen Jacks’
reaction. What I get for myself from the message is, will I continue doing what is right even
if God doesn't seem to be there?
I have been working on my webpage for months on the Internet and I know there is a lot of
perversion, deception, and antichrist on the web, for I have encountered it head on.
Christian has to be very careful when surfing because of the weakness of the flesh; one can
be drawn into that part of the Internet, like any other part of this sinful world, where
there is filth and lies. People are so complacent with all this garbage that is on the net,
on TV, in print, in their neighborhoods, in their neighbor’s lives, and even in just about
every grocery store and service station we go into. I believe the reason there is so much of
this filth right in our faces today in America is because the Church in general have failed to
complete all of its’ mission in "teaching to observe all things whatsoever I (Jesus) have
commanded;" and one shortcoming is to "deny himself (and not to deny what is going on right
under his very nose), and take up his cross, and follow me (Jesus)".
For example, some Christians take ungodly jobs for reasons, such as, they have to because there
is no other job, somebody has got to do it, I have got to feed my family, the money is better,
and not really trust in God when He say’s "but seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" which means, He will take care
us and will supply the right job. Some of these supposable Christians who have not been
sanctified are no better off than the people of this world, because they participate in the
very same things not only using but becoming pushers themselves, mostly for the money and for
someone else’s business being suckered in to selling, promoting, distributing pornographic
material, drugs along with tobacco and alcohol which are also drugs. How can we say anything
to those who use illegal drugs when we ourselves are the pushers and abusers of the so-called
legal drugs. We are a pharisaic, hypocritical Church because we judge and think we are
better off and better than they when we are not. We need to quite prostituting ourselves with
things of the world and clean ourselves, filling our lamps with oil,
R letting our lights shine
in this old dark world that is full of desperate souls; so our lives can be an example for
them to see, and maybe then we can see some real change occur in and around us.
With me promoting some truths of the Bible through this medium (the Internet), it will be just
as bad for me or anyone else in this field to participate, promote or sell any of the filth
and lies on-line. We need to have on the whole armour of God when we go into battle for the
lost souls of mankind. We may not purge the Internet of all its’ filth but I believe if we
continue to battle against the forces of evil that are there, without the help of the Supreme
Court, with the weapons our Lord has provided and with His Holy Spirit, we will save
many souls for Jesus as we prepare for the end time harvest.
I have much more to add to my webpage on the Internet. Prayerfully read and study it if you
have the equipment. I hope God through His word will shed some light your way about the Post
Tribulation Rapture. There are many deceptions not only on the net but also in the Churches,
and the Biblical truth about the Post Tribulation Rapture is not one of them. I was deceived
for years until God led me to the scripture, "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the
last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we
shall be changed" (1 Cor 15:52 KJV). That is when I started to study it for myself along
with Matthew 24:29-31 and other passages. In the future I hope to be able to send you a copy
of my Bible study that is going to take awhile longer to complete.
Satan may appear at times to be winning and at the end of this age gain control of the whole
world for only a very very short second in time, but then it will be all over for him for a
period until he is "cast into the lake of fire and brimstone...for ever." Every passing day is
becoming more like the days of Noah and Lot just as Jesus predicted. So this being true, the
earth will be full of violence and corruption with very grievous sin, but the people will think
nothing of it, for they will be eating and, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, buying
and selling, planting, building when we are resurrected. Noah and all those being shut in by
God on the ark, went through and was protected from the iniquity of man and the anger of God;
and Lot in his day was taken to a safe place, so not to be consumed in the iniquity, before
God poured out His wrath upon Sodom and Gomorrah. "And except those days should be shortened,
there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened"
(Mat 24:22 KJV).
The only way we will endure these troubled days ahead is if we have
His assurance, protection and His precious Holy Spirit. For some of us maybe slain by the
beast and our souls saved, and others will have a place to hide--to flee into the wilderness
from the face of the serpent--while iniquity abounds, just before our Righteous Lord and
Savior returns (The Day of the Lord begins) and takes us with Him at the sound of the seventh
and last trump, which is the (first) resurrection of the just, to the marriage supper of the
Lamb. First, there has to be a falling away, second, the man of sin is revealed and then the three
and a half years of trouble comes upon the whole world. At the end of this Great Tribulation,
after Jesus delivers His Church, the inevitable wrath of the Lamb falls on the beast, the false
prophet and the worshippers of the image, and we go with the Lord to reign with Him for a
thousand years on the earth. If you study the scriptures I have formulated into my Bible
study--you can do this efficiently with Netscape browser and the proper equipment--I believe
God will reveal some great truths to you.
I am sending you this letter called, "The Shedding of Innocent Blood", which is to be copied,
addressed, distributed, and signed by all those who are Pro-Life, who really love Jesus. With
the help of God’s word and His precious Holy Spirit I wrote this letter for the President and
each Senator. All the believers have to do is make copies of the form letter, address it in
the heading to each Senator, then put all, including the Presidents’, into addressed envelopes,
along with the signed petitions and mail as soon as possible. There are two different
petitions, one is to the President and one to your Senators.
I appreciate you so much Pastor Lang. I do not have much to show financially, for I have been
spending much of my time and finances putting together some truths not considering where my
support was going to come from. I have always worked for a living and God who has always taken
care of me. Paul was a tent maker and I am a carpenter. I want so much to devote full time
to getting out the message that God has given me as I help prepare the Church (body of Christ)
for the troubled days ahead.
Hope to see you all,
With Love in Christ!
