Grace to you and Divine Peace from God our Father, and The Lord Jesus Christ:

Much has happened in our world since my last Pastoral letter. It is simply amazing to see END TIME PROPHESY so accurately being fulfilled as it is written [cf. Matthew. 24; Mark. 13; Luke. 17:20f]. There is so much confusion, division, disease, deceit, destruction, hatred, greed, violence and oppression prevalent across the lands. I thoroughly understand the mindset of the prophet, Jeremiah, as he cries out. "Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then is there no healing for the wound of my people?" (Jeremiah 8:22)

I look back some two thousand (2000) years ago and I hear Jesus weeping over Jerusalem. Jesus still weeps for his wayward people. His voice yet says, "Don't worry about your life...Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33)...I hear them nailing Him to a cross and Jesus saying, 'Father forgive them for they know not what they do .'(Luke 23:24)...I command you to love one another as I have loved you (John 15:12).

Friends, Truly, "AIN'T NOTHING NO BIG DEAL, BUT JESUS". HE IS OUR PEACE! STAY FOCUSED ON JESUS. MAKE LOVE YOUR AIM. "THE ONLY THING THAT COUNTS IS FAITH EXPRESSING ITSELF THROUGH LOVE" (Galatians 6:6b)

This Holy Week and beyond, I pray that we each arise to a higher level of commitment to unconditional love through Christ Jesus Our Lord. There is a Balm in Gilead! Jesus, our Risen Lord and Saviour is that balm. "HE IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN INDEED!" HE IS ALIVE! HIS WAY OF LOVE IS STILL THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. LOVE IS EVEN STRONGER THAN THE GRAVE. GOD IS LOVE.

Let God's light of love shine through your good works. Let us each RISE AND SHINE with JESUS, "For Such A Time As This".
