i'm writing a book, please pray for me.

it seemed good that God laid it on my heart to write a book, about Who He is, and Who Messiah Jesus is, and who we are IN Him.

i only deigned to endeavour on this task, for three reasons, first, after LONG prayer, listening and waiting, God the Holy Ghost, told me to begin, second, God has gifted me with a facile pen, that prior to this second, i had employed in the secular realm, and now its time, as he leads, to employ my pen for Him. third, i had several other books i wanted to write, one about alternative history, another about a long space voyage, both of which we based in this Most Holy Faith, but God pressed my heart and soul, to use both Scripture, and the Excellency of His Holy Spirit to engage in such a blessed Task.

Saints, i seek no 'fame', nor acclaim, nor wages, as He has provided me with both manna, and a dwelling FAR from the maddening crowd, but what i do covet, and beg you, are for your prayers, that in this task, i do not veer, into strange and diverse roadways, but only to lay a Foundation of Jesus Christ and Him Crucified.

i need your prayers, because before i leave to be with Jesus, i want to leave something for not only MY son to ponder, but to leave something, that may bless my brethern, in my own simple way.

could you do that for me? please?

Brother, may the Lord be honored by everything you do by word or deed as you do it for the glory of Jesus Christ. We must all follow His voice and speak boldly for Him in this generation.

May God bless all you saints you endeavoured to pray for me, and i thank you with my whole heart, love, neil

forgive me for using your moniker, and thank you for your words of encouragement as well as the other saints who did.

something you wrote piqued my interest:

I pondered a long time on what to do, how to get my thoughts into something that someone would actually read. There is a lot of competition for reading out there...

brother, i've written quite a few things in the secular realm, although the last thing i wrote had a Gospel theme underlying it, and i can tell you this, and i write this in a gentle tenor....."competition" matters not one iota to me. Here's what matters, if anything that comes from my pen under the Leading of the Holy Spirit, turns ONE soul from death unto Life, and Life in Messiah, i'll dance like King David.

now, i speak in a secular bent, having written in and been in the "entertainment" industry....the one rule, to keep them reading, to keep them watching is this: NEVER BE BORING. i'm not talking about doing cartwheels, or foaming at the mouth, or being "controversial" to be controversial, or any such fleshly exercise. you just be real, and make it plain......when you speak or write authentically, they will read, they will listen.

before i used to do that for money....this work?.....Its not for money. It's for Our Father, It's for His Son, our Savior, our Messiah. Its for all those lonely prophets in Scripture....i NEED to discover Who they All are, and just spell it out, plain....and the Only "Reference"Book i need is That Holy Bible, the only Editor i need is God the Holy Ghost.

in short, i aint gon be writing no "Shack"...and i aint gon pretend i'm no "Matthew Henry"....bless God he kept me away from seminaries, and i mean no offense to seminary trained saints....TO THIS DAY, i cant even tell you what 'calvinism' or 'armianism' is, nor 'dispensationalism' or 'predestination" is....i'm gloriously free to wander thru the Sacred Word, unchained, a humble jew who follows Jesus. neil

You KNOW I will pray for you, my dear brother Neil!

And hey, if you need someone to proof read and critique... you know how to send it to me!

you brought a smile to my face with this:

And hey, if you need someone to proof read and critique... you know how to send it to me!

not a 'make fun of you' smile...no no no, i smiled at the word, "critique".....and oh my, that would be like an 8 point buck, me, wandering by your tree stand...dont shoot!!!! made me smile with joy. and did i miss any praise reports from your end? i been praying, much love in Jesus to you and the family, neil

No new job yet... the one I was gunning for went to someone else. I suspect someone who had connections to someone inside the company because it went fast. I did not get even an interview. The trouble is I have a lot of experience, so I suspect companies assume they can pay someone younger less $$. May or may not be true. It's a buyers market right now, thats for sure.

But the company I am working for as a temp is great, and there are 3 managers here fighting to get me hired on. A 2 month contract has turned into 10 months. God is good.

Ah ha!!! Glorious freedom. To plummet the depths of a bottomless oceon of truth and love. To scale a mountain that has no top. To fly in endless skies. To soar with the eagles in updrafts of His presence. To fly where no flapping is required, oh what glorious freedom. To love, to love with the love of God. To see, to see with the eyes of God. To hear, to hear with Spirit's ears. This is the treasures of God. Oh we rich men, we men who overflow in abundance. When history's page is finally written, we who appear as beggers will be revealed as princes........... brother Frank

you just blessed me no end, and let me tell you how, when i wrote this:

it was NOT my intention to offend anybody, who does study, ponder, pray and meditate about such, may God bless every second, any saint ponder as such. i just cant.

let me testify why, there are about four secular areas of scholarship i know a lot about. ie, i cant do algebra, but i can quote you global energy statistics, and how various nation state bloc's use energy. i can recite and analyze probably just about any nations military capabilities...that sort of stuff, i can read agricultural statistics and give you a good ballpark price estimate for the coming crop year and beyond...its all secular and it's all HEAD knowledge, so when i ponder God, and ponder Messiah, ponder the Word, i could be at REAL RISK, to use HEAD knowledge, to "rightly divide" the Deep Things of God, instead of heart knowledge and keeping the ears of my heart open to the Voice and Leading of God the Holy Spirit.

now that bent, came from God to me. When i read of the various "-ism's", the strangest thing happens, it's like God has placed a Block there, and said "NO, dont". He also told me, "NEVER argue 'theology'....your head, your mind will decieve you, I will NOT"......so i dont even understand all the "ism's" save One...and its This---"Yahwistic Monotheism", which is best encapsulated in "Abram believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness".

you must understand, that before i apprehended Messiah Jesus in May 2002, i didnt even really know the differences between a "Roman Catholic" and a "Protestant", i just thought they were two different kinds of Gentiles.

after having been raised in the synagogue, and now apprehending that Messiah HAS and WILL Come, you know what brings me the MOST joy in Jesus? That He is the Master Vinedresser, meaning it is He, Who took the Glorious Vine, and with the utmost Love for ALL people, ingrafted the Gentiles into the Vine of Yahweh. God TRIED with us, to send SOMEONE out to proclaim the Word to the Gentiles, before Jesus' Earthly Ministry and that was Jonah......it breaks my heart everytime i read Jonah's account....here the dear man was brought to Nineveh (of all places) and what happpened? A REVIVAL!!!! and what does Jonah do?

pouts and fumes like a little baby.....even Peter had to be schooled up, while up on that roof before lunch, on what was "clean" and what was "unclean"....Peter had the vision of the sheet, 'kill and eat", then God sends men, Gentiles, to order him to go out, and enter a Gentiles house, and preach the Gospel, preach Christ and Him Crucified, and what happens? The Holy Ghost fills everybody RIGHT THERE....a rooftop Vision, a journey, and a house full of hungry children of God, that was Peter's 'seminary' that day.

i leap for joy that God had NO INTENTION of letting us Jews "hoard" Him to ourselves, and gives His Son Jesus full sway to be a Master Vinedresser, ingrafting MILLIONS into the Vine, and the Way and the Truth, for this i shout in my heart "Baruch HaShem!"....which means in Hebrew, "Bless the Name!"

then you concluded with this, that just lifted my heart, up up up,

Your next sentence spoke to me, 'GLORIOUSLY FREE TO WANDER THROUGH THE SACRED WORD, UNCHAINED'... that is the true; amen brother!

that sentence, "GLORIOUSLY FREE....." didnt come from me, i had never used such language before, That was God the Holy Ghost speaking in me and thru me...which is how i prayerfully asked Him, to allow me, to write What i have to write, neil
ps....now i just gotta write, time is short.

(later addition, Brother's Frank, Doug and Stevie, how many ways can i say i love you?)
