Here's What's Going On...
God Is Still On His Throne!
Keep
praying my friends, God still reigns over the universe

If this website goes down... go to my new website at Jesusisprecious.org!
Hebrews 11:27, “By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.”
First, I love everybody, and I mean that. You're all so precious to me. Over 800 people have visited this recent section in just the past day, which means very much to me that I have the attention of that many ears, minds and hearts. I am humbled and give God all the praises. HEAR YE HIM! You have a Christian friend, no matter who you are. You don't just have a friend in cyberspace, but a real friend, who uses the internet as a tool to help my brethren and reach the lost for Christ. I cannot wait to meet you all in Heaven, which will come sooner than we all expect. Life is short my friends! Jesus could come at any moment! What a joy that would be!
We'll, the past two weeks have been very rough for me. A malicious group in the Philippines have accused me of trademark infringement for using the phrases “God Loves People” and “Jesus-is-Savior” (JIS). GodLovesPeople.com is suspended indefinitely (unknown amount of time). As you all know, Jesus-is-Savior has also been suspended for the past 2-weeks, but Netfirms has kindly enabled JIS for now, pending the outcome of a legal dispute. My accuser is going after GodLovesPeople.com and says that he's going after Jesus-is-Savior.com next, claiming they're ministry's television show owns the trademarks to those phrases. To avoid liability, every web-hosting company suspends websites and/or content when such complaints are made. This is standard practice.
I just sent in a mandatory DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) counter claim to the legal department of my hosting company, which is the preliminary steps before going to federal court. Once the complainant receives a copy of my counter claim, they have 10-days to sue me or the case is dismissed. The DMCA law is highly abused and 37% of all DMCA claims are bogus. Under DMCA the accused person may be entitled to sue for damages, attorney fees and any costs as a result of a false infringement claim. I bought Jesus-is-Savior.com way back in 2002 and GodLovesPeople.com in 2004. I bought them in good faith. My accuser has accused me in his formal DMCA complaint of stealing their TV program's trademark.
I've had GodLovesPeople.com for 9-years now, and I explain the origin of the phrase in the “Why This Website?” But you can't check it now because the website is suspended because of the DMCA complaint. I visited a church back in 1995 in Norman, Oklahoma. I don't remember what the pastor preached about, but I'll never forget what happened at the end of the meeting. That big ole heavy-set pastor got up with tears running down his face and said, “Folks, always remember that God loves people.” That impressed upon my heart and I'll never forget that. That's how I named my GodLovesPeople website. My faith is in God in this matter, because this is His ministry. I will hire an attorney and fight them to the hills if need be.
I researched the internet and learned that religious cults often abuse the DMCA process to have embarrassing material which exposes them removed from the internet. I am in high spirits, regardless of the outcome. God is still on His throne. The Bible teaches in 2nd Timothy 3:12, “Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” If you're not suffering persecution as a born-again Christian, then you're doing something wrong in your Christian walk. God never intended for us to get saved and then hide our candle for the Lord, live selfishly and never lift a finger to expose evil, take a stand for God and contend for the Christian faith.
That's what's wrong with the ecumenical movement, they want everyone to unite through sinful compromise instead of dividing over the Word of God. Jesus said that He didn't come to bring peace, but a sword. Matthew 10:34, “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.” Jesus said that He came to turn families against each other, because the truth often causes even our loved ones to reject us. Luke 12:53, “The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.” These Scriptural teachings go totally contrary to all the ecumenical garbage being taught in churches today, which attempts to unite believers with unbelievers in the name of love.
If you value the information on this website, get it while it's here because I have no idea where this is all going. I can't give you specifics for legal reasons. The best way to download the entire website (or any website) is with a program called Teleport Pro. The Jesus-is-Savior website is 19 GB in size. 16 GB of that are audio sermons. Or you can download individual pages by going to “File/Save as” and select “Webpage complete” if you want the pictures saved in a separate folder along with the file name you give it. If I do lose my domain names, I will upload the website information under a new domain name, to multiple websites and locations to get the truth out.
I've always been a gentleman when it comes to people's feelings. A woman once wrote to me and demanded that I remove her photo from my Goth article, which exposes the creepy Goth lifestyle. I seriously doubt if the image was copyrighted. She uploaded it to the internet, making it fair use material. Albeit, out of respect for her as a human being I removed the photo and found another zombie-looking Goth photo to use instead. I do love people and the purpose of my ministry is not to attack or degrade people. God forbid. My enemies speak all kinds of lies about me, because they are God's enemies and hate righteousness, the Bible and truth. Part of being a mature Christian is loving the unloving, which is never easy, but loving God and our neighbor are the two greatest commandments in the Bible, which are really one commandment, to LOVE.
I encourage anyone and everyone to copy/paste anything you desire from this website to your own website. You can use my articles and I don't care if you mention my name. My reward is in Heaven. I just want the truth to get out and for others to benefit from it. I'm probably one of the easiest going guys in the world when it comes to sharing. I would NEVER fuss over someone using my internet stuff. I believe some of the hallmarks of being a good Christian are generosity and sharing. Jesus said to give without expecting something in return. Luke 6:34-35, “And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.”
If this website is terminated, I will rebound back elsewhere by the will of God. Be patient with me, because my health is a heavy burden and I'm trying my best with the Lord's help. The Devil can destroy my website, but he can't destroy me so long as I stay close to Jesus. Brother Jack Hyles once said that he'd rather know how to make a million dollars than to have a million dollars. Because if I have a million dollars and lose it, then it's gone; but if I know how to make a million dollars, then I can do it again and again. Likewise, I'd rather know how to build and promote a website than to have a popular website. I can always build and promote another website.
The Devil can only temporarily hinder us from serving God. The apostle Paul was incarcerated in prison at times for preaching the truth. Paul couldn't serve the Lord like he wanted during those times, but he was able to still pray. Yet, Paul was compelled to preach the Gospel to the lost to lead them to Christ. The Devil can only hinder me, but he cannot stop me unless it is God's will. If God is for me, no one can stop me; and if God is not for me, then the U.S. Supreme Court couldn't help me keep my ministry online. I live by faith, not by sight. 2nd Corinthians 5:7, “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” That was Brother Roloff's ministry motto... “LIVING BY FAITH!”
Satan May Win A Fight, But The Battle Is The Lord's!Satan is already a defeated being. Bible prophecy is history written in advance. We already know who is going to win the age old battle between good and evil. Evil dies and passes away with each generation of flesh, but the Word of God stands forever!!!
Matthew 24:35, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”
Mark 13:31, “Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.”
Luke 21:33, “Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.”I love our text verse that I gave you at the beginning of this article. Hebrews 11:27, “By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.” The Bible says that Moses fled from Egypt, not for fear as many teachers and movies claim, but because the Bible says HE SAW HIM WHO IS INVISIBLE!!! Moses had faith in God, Who is invisible! Amen! What a precious Scripture! Do you see Him Who is invisible my friend? By faith Moses refused to be called the son of pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season (Hebrews 11:24-25).
Romans 1:20 sheds some light of understanding upon Hebrews 11:27. Romans 1:20, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.” I laugh when I see and hear worldly scientists questioning whether God exists or not, and when they try to use science to prove or disprove God. The reason why is because God is right in front of our faces if we simply open our heart to the truth. Satan blinds men's MINDS 2nd Corinthians 4:4 teaches; but Romans 10:9-10 teaches that with the HEART men believe that Jesus rose from the dead to be saved. God is as obvious to me as the noonday sun shining! Do you see Him as I do, as Moses did? Moses fled Egypt, enduring the affliction, because he saw HE WHO IS INVISIBLE!!! What a wonderful truth!!!
Having said that, it is possible that I will lose the right to use my domain name(s). I've spend 11-years and over 15,000 hours building this ministry. I won't walk away without a relentless legal fight, wounded and defeated if need be. I will go to court if need be and Jesus will be with me. I've been praying a lot, and ask that you all do the same if you value this ministry. I've never accepted a donation (although many have kindly offered). I've never profited a penny financially from any of my websites. I do not sell anything. This is a labor of love for the Lord Jesus Christ, Who is precious to me and to all who believe on Him (1st Peter 2:7). 1st Peter 2:7, “Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner.”
Clearly, this attack is from Satan, the father of all liars and murderers (John 8:44). My accuser has been belligerent and refuses to cooperate. I contacted him via e-mail and respectfully requested information concerning his claimed trademark, but he replied belligerently, refusing to send me any information concerning his alleged trademark. In my thinking that should have disqualified his complaint automatically, but it doesn't evidently. The trademark registration number that my accuser provided couldn't be found under USPTO (where trademarks are registered). My accuser may not be a legitimate entity since he refuses to cooperate and the provided trademark number cannot be found. Nevertheless, there is a legal process for matters like this and I am going to follow this through until the very end. This is God's ministry and Lord willing it will stop or continue.
Now I want to say this to all my friends and web visitors, and to all my brothers and sisters in the Lord... I'm not going anywhere, Lord willing! If the Devil defeats me in this particular battle and robs me of these 2 websites, my labours won't be in vain in the Lord. My rewards are secure in Heaven! I also have all the original website files and can upload them under a new domain name elsewhere. I can make some new icons to promote the new domain and start over. I've been listening to Brother Lester Roloff's sermons lately (what a blessing!.. I love that dear man of God!). Brother Roloff says, “You can't keep a good man down, and a good man is a godly man!” Amen, Yes Sir, he is correct! My philosophy is that when the Devil kicks me in the butt, I kick him in the groin! If the Devil takes down a website, then I'll upload two more. If the Devil takes down two websites, then I'll upload four more. As long as I have an internet connection, I'll have a ministry for the Lord online, Lord willing.
The big loss is this website's preferred ranking in the search engines. From what I've read, older website domains have preference over newer website domains. I'm not certain what truth there is to this, but we'll likely find out. My JIS websites was started in 2002 and GodLovesPeople (GLP) in 2004. Even though I could buy a new domain name and upload my website elsewhere, it would likely suffer horribly in the search engines, losing much influence for Jesus Christ. My faith is in the Lord. My enemies are hurting the cause of Christ, not me. They cannot hurt me, it is impossible, because I serve Jesus Christ. The Bible teaches that the world CANNOT HATE YOU, because it's the Lord Jesus who they hate. John 7:7, “The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.” My website steps on a lot of toes because I expose evil, refute false doctrines, preach against sin by name and cry aloud against the tyranny of unjust men who rob men of their jobs, savings, homes and very liberty. I am on the Lord's side and everything I do is for Him.
Great Things Ahead For My Ministry, Lord Willing
I have good news for my web visitors and friends. I have purchased VPS webhosting, which stands for “Virtual Private Server.” It costs twice as much annually, but is well worth the money. All these years I've used what most websites have, that is, Shared Web Hosting, which means that your website shares a computer with thousands of other websites. Everyone shares the available resources. For a large website like Jesus-is-Savior that is growing like the Rose Red mansion in the film “Rose Red,” account suspensions are inevitable because of exceeding bandwidth limits and disk space usage. With VPS hosting, my website will now only share a computer with a small handful of customers; but, the nice difference is that I am guaranteed a certain amount of bandwidth per month and server disk space. I have 40 GB disk space and one terabyte a month of bandwidth.
The great thing is that I can simply pay extra if I need more bandwidth, or upgrade for a lot more resources at a reasonable price, instead of having my account suspended without warning each time. Costs have come way down for disk space and bandwidth in recent years. VPS allows me to host multiple website domains on one VPS server. Since each website has a separate account, if one website is compromised the others aren't affected. So each website is independent of the other. My SteelC6th.com (music website) went down with Jesus-is-Savior.com (JIS) because I had it as a subdirectory. As I speak, SteelC6th.com is already uploaded and running from a VPS server, totally independent of JIS now.
One of the things I hate about Shared Web Hosting is that companies advertise “Unlimited” bandwidth and disk space, which is obviously impossible to live up to. They're all doing it nowadays to keep up with the competition. I was having arguments with my web hosting company several years ago when my website was only 5 GB in size (and I paid for the advertised 100 GB). Then they changed their policy to “Unlimited,” but they still have serious complaints with my usage of 19 GB (and my website is growing like the Blob!). So this explains why there have been multiple suspensions over the past year at Jesus-is-Savior. Still, I am grateful to my web hosting company for their leniency all these years and I thank them. I really like VPS hosting because now I know that I can use 40 GB without wondering if I'm using “too much.”
Lord willing, I plan to move JIS to VPS hosting very soon, but I have to see if I can move it during a pending legal matter. By removing SteelC6th from the JIS directory, it has reduced some of the bandwidth usage, so that helps. I want to be slow to move my websites, just one at a time to avoid them all going down at once. I'm of the old school of thought that says, “If it works, don't mess with it.” Yet, I want to move all my websites to VPS hosting, which I hope to do in the weeks and months to come. It takes 7-17 days I was told to transfer domains. That's why it will take some time. JIS is the one that I need to move to VPS very soon. I'm just overwhelmed with everything right now. I so much need your prayers. Just ask God to help Brother Dave and his ministry for the Lord. Prayer is work, labour, and God rewards all labour in the Lord (1st Corinthians 3:8). Colossians 4:12, “...always labouring fervently for you in prayers...” Even if you're locked away in prison, you can labour in prayer and earn rewards in Heaven.
This VPS and legal stuff is all new to me and I'm trying to learn as I go, but my health is a big burden and I'm just going on faith despite my much physical pain. I appreciate your patience. There's days when I can't do anything because my pain is so bad. The peripheral neuropathy is an additional burden. I have stenosis, radiculopathy, cervical osteoarthritis and cervical degenerative disk disease. It all works together to overwhelm me on a daily basis. Only God knows what I am enduring. One day at a time. I have taken 80 mg of Oxycontin for unbearable neck pain within the past 6 hours and it's not helping at all, so it seems.
I have purchased two VPS hosting plans at separate hosting companies, to avoid putting all my apples into one basket so-to-speak. Between them I have 60 GB disk space to use and 2 terabytes of bandwidth available. I have started a new domain at Jesusisprecious.org, which doesn't have a website yet, but I am working on it as my health allows. It is already on VPS hosting. Jesus is so precious to me. I based the name of this website on 1st Peter 2:7, “Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner.”
If this website goes down... go to my new website at Jesusisprecious.org!
I am also going to purchase another domain name, I'm still undecided for a name, for a new website I'm working on that will focus on God's omnipotent power. I have many ideas. The site will expose the lies of Evolution, false science and the insane mad scientists of our generation who are playing God. I will upload all my information on transgenics, chimeras and the genetic nightmare ahead for mankind. The website will focus on astronomy, the awesomeness of the universe, mind-boggling scientific facts, the solar system and the lies of Cosmos Cosmology, New Age and the coming New World Order. But it is going to take me time to get it going, Lord willing.
I have already made the basic website shell, I just need to work at it, but right now I have to deal with the legal issues. So, like Nehemiah whose enemies tried to hinder him from building the wall but he kept on building (refusing to come down to meet with them), I am going to continue building with a spade in one hand and a sword in the other. I could easily become discouraged and sit idle waiting to see what is going to happen; but instead I am already moving forward for the Lord, building elsewhere, contending for the Christian faith, preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, rising up against the workers of evil and standing up against the workers of iniquity for my awesome God. The harder the Devil pushes, the harder I'm going to push back in Jesus' name. The battle is the Lord's. Our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the RULERS OF THE DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD (Ephesians 6:12). Our battle is against the Devil, demons and the occult powers subverting and contaminating our American culture today. Every mainstream music artist has entered into a legally binding contract with the Illuminati, selling their soul for mammon (worldly wealth).
With my Jesusisprecious.org website, I will focus on much of the same issues as Jesus-is-Savior, uploading many of the same articles to preserve them on the internet. I will also upload them elsewhere to other websites. If the Devil attacks them, then I'll start a half dozen new websites if I have to. Since I've already written thousands of articles over the past 11-years, it's just a matter of copying and pasting much of the information, which allows me to construct a website fairly quickly as compared to starting with nothing from scratch. Yet I want to create unique content, so as time progresses, Lord willing, the website will become an entity of its own, as have all of my other websites for the Lord Jesus Christ.
With my Jesusisprecious.org website I want to focus on the spiritual decadence in America today, but I'll probably leave most of the evils in government at Jesus-is-Savior. If I lose JIS, then I may start a liberty theme website, exposing the Federal Reserve Banksters and the Communist overthrow of the United States by the International Banking Cartel. Few people realize that Wall Street (U.S. corporations) financed Hitler's war machine and modern-day Israel was founded by the globalists (Illuminati). Antony C. Sutton has written some fascinating books on the subject, which are freely available online. Wall Street And The Rise Of Hitler
Knocked Down, But Not Knocked Out!If I lose these websites by court action, I will upload them in their entirety (if I can) under new domain names (but that's looking ahead too much to see for now). If I can't, then I'll upload the information to different websites. Basically I'm wanting to divide Jesus-is-Savior into some individual website so I can expand on those themes more and create safety in numbers. If one website goes down, the others won't. I'll still have Jesus-is-Savior website (or some new domain) if I lose JIS, but one way or another, Lord willing, I'm going to continue fighting the good fight of faith. Multiple websites!!! More websites means greater influence for the Lord in cyberspace. I only wish I had more hands, an extra brain and three lifetimes to live for my King Jesus.
You may have knocked me down old Devil, but you ain't knocked me out yet!!! Greater is He (Jesus) that is in me, than he (Satan) that is in the world (1st John 4:4). Without God's help I cannot do anything. John 15:5, “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” You cannot serve God in the flesh. You can do religious work, run a charity or promote behavior modification; but without the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ neither you nor I can accomplish anything for God. And the Holy Spirit ALWAYS works with the truths and promises of the Word of God. A lot of people operate so-called “ministries,” but they do it all in human strength. Without the second birth (being born-again by the Spirit of God), prayer and abiding in the Scriptures, a professed ministry is nothing more than a glorified social club. God decides what is or isn't a ministry.
With God's help, I will do whatever it takes to get the truth out to those who desire it. My purpose has always been to reach that 1 lost sheep out of 100 who has gone astray. I did not start my ministry for the critics, naysayers, haters and enemies of God; but rather, for the wayward sinner who wants to find his or her way to God through faith in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:26). I did not make my websites to reach the group; but rather, the INDIVIDUAL who desires to know the truth. By God's grace I have done that. I am wearied, but not destitute. I am tired, but not defeated. I am burdened, but not destroyed. I am cast down, but not cast away. I have the PROMISES of God to sustain me! Amen!
So everyone rejoice, because our God is an awesome, omnipotent and unchanging God, and He cannot be taken off His throne! GOD IS STILL ON HIS THRONE! Let the heathen rage! Anyone who would attack a ministry for proclaiming that “God Loves People!” has serious spiritual issues. I wouldn't want to be in that person's shoes in eternity on judgment day; yet I have been praying in love for my enemies as the Lord commanded in Matthew 5:44 and Luke 6:28, “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you ... Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.” Truly, one sinner destroyeth much good. Ecclesiastes 9:18, “Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.”
Did you know that there are unsaved people who befriend this ministry and love me, simply because they respect me for having the guts to speak the truth, and say what needs to be said. They trust me because I tell the truth about secular issues; whereas the average believer is woefully ignorant and even offended by the truth. Therefore, they listen to what I have to say about God and the Bible. Amen for them all! I am confident that in time many of them will come to the saving knowledge of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. I am continually praying for the lost, including former unsaved co-workers and neighbors, asking the Lord to work in their life and heart, giving them every opportunity to get saved before it's too late. You are all in my prayers as my web visitors!
Whoever you may be, please don't go to Hell. Think about the horrifying reality that even after one trillion years in Hell, it won't even be the beginning. Do you really want to risk ending up in Hell, burning in literal fire, separated from a loving and forgiving and good and merciful God forever because you rejected the free gift of eternal life? Your sins are already paid for. Jesus paid your sin debt. All you have to do is receive that gift by faith. Just place your reliance (trust) in Christ's death, burial and resurrection from the dead three days later. Believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, Who came into the World to save men from their sins.
We are saved by faith alone in Christ's death, burial and resurrection from the dead. Sadly, many religious people DO acknowledge the Gospel, but they have added water baptism, keeping sacraments, church membership or something more than childlike faith in Christ's work alone. We are saved by God's righteousness, and not by our own self-righteousness (Romans 4:5-6; 2nd Corinthians 5:21; Matthew 6:33; Philippians 3:9). I read the following Scripture this week and absolutely I'M LOVING IT...
Philippians 3:9, “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.”
I mean this, I wouldn't accept one million dollars for my ministry. I've had several offers to buy my domain name. Of course, I turn them all down. I love God and hate money. I despise money. The Bible teaches that every person must choose between God and wealth (mammon). The Word of God teaches that you'll either love God and hate money, or you'll love money and hate God. It cannot be both!!! I love God and hate money, with all my heart.
The alleged religious group that is attacking me are profiting financially from the phrase “God Loves People.” They are a business and make money by exploiting God's love. In sharp contrast, I tell people that God loves them freely, not making a financial profit at God's expense. Who do you think God will be more please with on judgment day? And now today? The Bible warned of wicked and unreasonable men with whom we would have to deal. 2nd Thessalonians 3:2, “And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.” No one with faith in God would attack a fellow believer for proclaiming the love of God. How wicked! How insane! How wrong! God is my defender!
Keep On Soul-Winning While Fighting The Devil
I was discouraged for about 2 days when my websites were suspended. I prayed until my soul became weary and the Lord told me to start some new websites. I began working on them immediately. I'm doing what I can, and it will take time, but Lord willing I plan to upload a bunch more information, sermons, preaching and truths to reach the lost, expose evils, refute falsehoods, teach the Word of God, honor my precious Lord Jesus and help my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. You can all help me by praying, praying and praying. I believe that God honors every prayer, as we see from Acts 12:1-5 when Peter was rescued from Herod's sword in prison because other Christians (the Church) were praying for him. It doesn't require a lot of prayer, just PRAY! For those of you who want to help in further ways, I encourage others to start their own websites, blogs and webpages and promote the truth, whatever God lays upon your heart. God will give you a burden if you walk with Him. My websites will not be here forever, grab them while you can. I am a servant of the Lord, a John the Baptist crying from the wilderness of cyberspace... “BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD” (John 1:29). My head will be cut off one of these days I assure you!
Please Pray Earnestly For My Ongoing Health Afflictions
Due to my adverse health I can only do so much at a time, and then I have to rest for awhile. I've been so physically tired lately and emotionally drained. I fell asleep while waiting for a traffic red-light to change today. Cars were honking behind me. I have to be careful driving because of my medications. The pain is so bad at times. My peripheral neuropathy has been so horrible lately, as I mentioned earlier. It's hard to describe what it feels like, but it feels similar to the menthol strip that you place on your tongue to refresh your breath. I get that same freezing/burning feeling simultaneously, but throughout my entire nervous system in my body. It's an overwhelming feeling to say the least. My muscles ache from head-to-toe.
The pain in my neck feels like a horrible toothache where the bone is located in the back. The pain radiates into my facial area and is debilitating to say the least. I close my eyes often when talking or just sitting in a restaurant. I seldom go out, but need to make myself go places despite my pain and bodily afflictions. The tension in my neck is unbearable, feeling like the tightest feeling possible. It's not the muscles; but rather, something pinching my spinal cord. I still have at least one bone spur at C5-C6, a protruding disk at C3-C4 and other problems in my neck. I had hoped surgery would help, but it didn't and now I'm worse off. It's so frustrating, but the cards I've been dealt in life; yet I rejoice that I am still functional. I saw a 39-year-old woman today who is still like a 3-year-old in her body. Her growth is stunted for unknown reasons. Her mother takes care of her like she would a baby. We are all so blessed. I have no complaints to God, none. I simply need for my web-visitors to understand my condition so they can pray for me, and so they know why I cannot handle e-mails and because you are my friends and I need you to know.
My second neck surgery failed to help me in 2010 and left me with peripheral neuropathy. I don't know what went wrong, but somehow the surgeon must have shaved my spinal cord while grinding down a bone spur to remove it. The spinal cord is extremely sensitive, like tissue paper. It doesn't take much to damage it permanently. I have chills, sweats and tingling all over my body. Both arms feel doubled in size 24 hours a day. Albeit, I thank and praise God that I still have functionality in my arms. I am blessed. I sincerely apologize to anyone who has tried to contact me and you didn't hear back. I assure you that it's nothing personal. I'm just overwhelmed because of my health problems. I've gotten used to the feeling of wearing imaginary gloves all the time, and the puffy feeling in my arms. I was depressed and panicky for the first few months, but my mind has adapted. Yet, the burning sensation is difficult to adjust to and a burden. As I type, the pain is getting horrible and I need to take some more pain medication and go rest.
I love you all and thank you for visiting my websites. I have other websites at Soulwinning.info, LoveTheTruth.com, DividedByTruth.org and soon JesusIsPrecious.org. I'm still thinking of a good name for the science/astronomy/evolution website. If my recent section goes down because Jesus-Is-Savior.com is gone, I'll likely start a recent section over at JesusIsPrecious.org, but I don't want to make any promises concerning this, as I am taking this all one day at a time. I feel overwhelmed right now. Lord willing, I will post recent articles at the top of one of my websites. I don't want to commit myself to anything at this point due to my health afflictions except to say that I have absolutely no intentions of quitting. I know a lot of people around the world look to me as a man of God for bold honest opinions and Biblical spiritual guidance. I respect that and don't want to let anybody down. There's only one thing more hurtful than being let down by someone that you look up to, and that is letting down someone who looks up to you. I understand that. I always have said, and always will say, HEAR YE HIM! I want people to listen to me, only so I can tell them to listen to Jesus, our Commander in Chief! We are all soldiers fighting in a war against the power of Satan (2nd Timothy 2:3-4; Acts 26:18).
I don't want anybody to believe anything I say; but rather, I want you to go check in the Bible for yourself. I try to reference everything I teach, so you can go check for yourself. Of course, I am only a flawed sinful man, just as are all human beings. I do not claim to be correct on everything, far from it. But I am sincere and if I find out that anything is untrue or inaccurate, I will correct it immediately.
Just Keep On Keeping On For Jesus!
Just Keep Building Nehemiah! Nehemiah's enemies conspired against him, devising a clever plot (so they thought) to distract him from finishing the wall. Ah, but Nehemiah knew what they were up to and refused to allow them to sidetrack him from rebuilding the wall in Jerusalem. Ezra rebuilt the temple. These were originally destroyed when king Nebuchadnezzar invaded and conquered Jerusalem in 586 BC. So now God has commissioned these men to rebuild the temple and the wall. Albeit, no temple has ever been as grand as Solomon's temple with all its gold, splendor and glory. Crying Over Churches Today (the old men wept when they saw the foundation of the second temple).
I am reminded of the famous Christian story by John Bunyan, “The Pilgrim's Progress.” The main character, “Christian,” was relentlessly attacked by the Devil. There were many wrong paths, distractions and side-roads that Christian was tempted and sometimes started down, but then realized that they were the Devil's paths. Some of the bad characters that Christian met are named: Obstinate, Worldly Wiseman, Formalist, Hypocrisy, Mr. By-ends, Demas, Temporary, Giant Despair and his wife Diffidence. I love “The Pilgrim's Progress.” The book was written by John Bunyan, a born-again Christian who became a minister of the Gospel. John Bunyan refused to take a government license to preach and was sentenced to 12-years in prison. While in prison he wrote The Pilgrim's Progress on the backs of milk bottle caps. What an incredible story! You can freely watch some films based upon the book...

God bless you my friends and keep me and this labor of love in your prayers! I encourage you to download as much as you want while you still can. I've been warning people for years at the bottom of my main webpage that the Antichrist is coming and this website will not always be here. Use it while you can. I was greatly humbled last year when a mom said she prints out my articles and punches holes in them, to bind them in a notebook for her children to read when they grow older. I was and still am humbled. I give God all the credit “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” (Philippians 2:8). God has put the desire in my heart to serve him through an internet ministry, and He has enabled me to do so, for which I am eternally grateful that the Lord has trusted me with this great opportunity. 1st Corinthians 16:9, “For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.” I love you all in the precious name of the Lord Jesus Christ, whoever you may be!

I love you all in the Lord, whoever you may be!
