Happy Birthday Jesus! We celebrate the Lord’s birthday on the 25th of this month. Why not give Him the best gift ever – your life? You are that treasure and pearl of great price He finds, Who sells all that He has and purchases you with His precious blood. 1
“And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.” 2
Thomas writes: “God has placed it on my heart to write you.”
Happy Thanksgiving! I thank God for you who have allowed me to share your letters over the past few years of ministry, so we can be a blessing together as a testimony of God’s great love and grace.
“Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.” 1
“My name is Ethan, and I am from a small city in north Alabama.
Happy Labor Day! If you are suffering under a load of religious responsibilities laid on you by others or condemnation, know that Jesus took all our sins upon Himself, so we could rest from this burden. He said,
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” 1
It’s amazing to read the words of Antonia, who wrote:
Happy Independence Day! I think of that day in May 1975, when I think of independence; that day when Christ came into my heart, freeing me from a life of guilt and shame.
“For God says, ‘At just the right time, I heard you. On the day of salvation, I helped you.’ Indeed, the ‘right time’ is now. Today is the day of salvation.” 1
Jill wrote, “I am healed of the wounds that your crimes inflicted on my psyche.”
Happy Mother’s Day! It’s amazing how thousands of people come and go from the site surprised at how God could save and forgive such a one as I in Christ, even though His Word clearly states:
“God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise… As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God… Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin.” 1
Here are a few of the wonderful praise reports received recently:

God loves you! We’re hearing from those around the world who are receiving the revelation of God’s love for healing. Won’t you receive His love today as you spend time on the site being encouraged to “…grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ”? 1
“Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, now that you have had a taste of the Lord’s kindness.” 2
Delinda writes from Tennessee, saying, “For some reason you walked into my mind tonight, so I decided to write you.
Happy New Year! Oh how I pray that each of us will surrender to God’s grace throughout the year to receive the blessing that flows from His throne to our hearts. Being made right in God’s sight through Christ, we have peace with Him! Why?
“Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.” 1
What a blessing it was to receive this letter from Jillian in New York, who wrote,”
Happy Thanksgiving! Do you want to be happy this Thanksgiving while celebrating with family and friends? If so, start thanking God for your Salvation in Christ, specifically for your victory through faith over everything that causes stress and anxiety.
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1
My heart goes out to Christopher, who sent me a JOY Christmas card, expressing his battle in life, writing:
Welcome! It’s amazing to hear from so many being blessed from around the world. Most are rejoicing because of the testimony, but many are hurt by others and by their own making. The Epistle of James says:
“Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you… Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.” 1
You may be able to identify with Logan, who wrote from the state of New York, saying,
Happy Independence Day! I pray that you are experiencing the freedom found through faith in Jesus Christ over mental, emotional and physical distress upon your life. That you are walking in righteousness, peace, joy and health, because of your daily focus on God’s love and grace. The apostle Paul wrote:
“Finally, dear brothers and sisters, we ask you to pray for us. Pray that the Lord’s message will spread rapidly and be honored wherever it goes, just as when it came to you.” 1
It’s amazing how those from around the world contact this ministry, such as Blagica from Macedonia, who wrote:
Happy Memorial Day! I don’t know who you are, but I believe the Lord is going to touch your life as you search this website. I’ve been where you are without hope, but there is a word for those whose heart is open to God.
“…blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.” 1
You may have a problem with a loss of faith like Bruce in West Virginia, who wrote,
“I stumbled upon your website and decided to write you. I’m not really a religious person. I used to believe in God, but not sure if I do now or not. Should I be worried? Is it wrong for me to question everything?
Happy Harvest! What a blessing to hear from you who are touched by the transformation of my life. You can be involved by sharing the site with friends and family. Jesus said,
“The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.” 1
Keith wrote, “I just wanted to say how encouraged I was to read your website.
Welcome! Fifty years ago this month, I came into agreement with the voice of a madman. Becoming one myself, that pact created massive pain, death and sorrow. Regretfully, the effects of the crimes resonate around the world to this day in the hearts and minds of society.
“But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!)” 1
A detective and crime-scene technician named Mark, wrote:
Happy Father’s Day! I thank God for my father, who is now in heaven waiting for me. But many of you didn’t know an earthly father, causing you to have doubt in a heavenly Father. Regardless, God loves you and wants you to come home. Jesus said,
“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father’s home.” 1
I’ve been in touch with Jamie from Oregon, who is looking for answers.
Oh Happy Day! Every day can be a day of rejoicing in Christ, who gave us His righteousness, peace and joy, through the power of His resurrection. As we bask in His love, we can’t help but celebrate His goodness that brought salvation to the world. The Apostle Paul asked,
“Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?” 1
Ralph from Etowah, Tennessee writes: “I just wanted to say that I am so proud of you, and tell you a little about myself.”

Happy Valentine’s Day! Let us not forget the four Greek words for love in God’s Divine Flow: agape is God’s unconditional love, phileo is brotherly love, and eros is erotic love, but storge or kindly affectionate love works with the other loves like the glue holding them together, making our experience of love complete.
“Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart.” 1
It’s always wonderful to receive praise reports like this one from Beau in Union County, South Carolina.
Happy Birthday Jesus! My heartfelt prayers go out to all those who won’t be experiencing a Merry Christmas this year because of fires, hurricanes, floods, shootings and other turmoil.
“So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.” 1
A Christian brother named John wrote again from Pennsylvania, saying:
Harvest Blessings! Listen, your help is needed in the harvest field. I pray for your boldness to share this site with your friends and family. For there to be a harvest, a seed must be planted in the hearts of your loved ones, plus it needs watering to bring forth fruit.
“The harvest is great, but the workers are few. 38 So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.” 1
It’s always great to hear from someone like Bruce again, with a wonderful praise report, saying,
Welcome! I trust that God has led you to view the site. As you do, please share the testimony with others. You’ll find a new article called “Dead Man Walkin’”, plus other recent updates. It’s my heart’s desire to inspire you with the Good News of Jesus Christ. As the apostle Paul prayed,
“I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.” 1
I’m blessed daily at mail call with praise reports causing jubilation, such as Ian, who wrote:
Happy Father’s Day! My heart and prayers go out to all the fathers who feel they are failures when it comes to parenthood. As you experience God’s love for you, He’ll increase your love towards your children, making it unconditional like His for us.
“And I am praying that you will put into action the generosity that comes from your faith as you understand and experience all the good things we have in Christ.” 1
Listen to a letter from Jeff in Texas, who is a fine example of a father reaching out to teens in the Juvenile Detention Center (JDC):
Happy Resurrection Day! The word blessed in the Greek means “Oh how happy!” As Christians, our happiness comes from the blessing of God, not this world. Though our circumstances may be bleak, happiness is internal, exuding from the Spirit through faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Psalmist David wrote,
“Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man to whom the Lord shall not impute sin.” 1
What a blessing to hear from Ryan, who saw my interview on the 700 Club from years ago. He wrote,
