Hi Jordan, it's good to hear from you! Yes, I remember meeting your brother Brendan and you at the basement LPL meeting room in your Infowars T-shirts handing out cards. It was an unexpected but welcome surprise. We appreciated it.
You write: “
I have recently came to Christ and wholeheartedly confessed my sins and troubles to him so that he will lead me to purpose and light.”
Blessed are you, Jordan! This is wonderfully precious news! And He has heard your prayers; know that. He has come to forgive and cleanse and heal you and give you fullness of life and the purpose you've desired, not religion or churchianity, but reality! That's what He's all about.
Jordan, I assume you've been reading at ThePathofTruth.com for a while and you've come to know that Jesus Christ is not only the Answer to life, He IS Life, the Only True Source. I'm always blessed and excited to hear of someone being drawn to Him. He has come to undo the works of Satan, the prince of this world and darkness, and to give us what we all want:
“The thief does not come except to steal and to kill and to destroy. I have come so that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.” (John 10:10-11 MKJV)
Jordan, it's a blessing to come to know the Lord and to hear His Voice guiding and directing us in this world of great darkness. It's a great privilege very few have experienced. There are many going to church and calling themselves “Christians” and even claiming to be born again, but the sad reality, as you yourself declare, is that there's something seriously missing in those churches, and it's none other than Jesus Christ Himself!
Matthew 7:21-23 MKJV
(21) Not everyone who says to Me, Lord! Lord! shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven.
(22) Many will say to Me in that day, Lord! Lord! Did we not prophesy in Your Name, and through Your Name throw out demons, and through Your Name do many wonderful works?
(23) And then I will say to them I never knew you! Depart from Me, those working lawlessness!
Brendan wrote last July or so, as well, and we expected, and were looking forward to hear from him but it hasn't happened. Things take time; we understand. I hope everything is okay between him and us.
When Brendan contacted us, Sara our webmistress sent him instructions whereby he could join our chat room on the Sabbath (Saturdays) if he wished. You boys can join us and this is how:
...here are the instructions to participate in our Sabbath meetings.
Simply click here:
Enter your name where it says "User Name" and click "Sign In." It should take you right into our internet meeting hall.
The meeting is on Saturday starting at 12:00 noon Mountain Time (where are you located? I'll calculate the time for you).
Give this a try in advance, please, when you can. Your browser will tell you if you need any of the components of Java (the common internet program that runs in the background and facilitates our chat). If there are issues, it should tell you what to do, and everything is free. Contact me if you need help. If it takes you to the meeting hall, where there's the option to type in the room, you've made it; nothing else to do (you can choose a nice bold color, if you like - just put your practice lines in the room).
Any problems, just write
Sara@ThePathofTruth.com <
Sara@ThePathofTruth.com> and she'll be more than happy to help you.
You can come and just be silent and observe the conversation, or ask questions or even say something you want to say. The time is not as at church services where people don't get an opportunity to really express themselves if they want to. It's free and open for all who wish to participate as they choose.
Another option is to visit the people at Harvest Haven. If you're there from Monday to Friday during the day, you can talk to Dena Dahl, Sean Fife, James Sorochan or Martin VanPopta. Martin is the new manager of Harvest Haven and he'll be very glad to talk to you. The Lord has only recently done some wonderful things for him as well, so you'll have lots in common.
If you come on Saturday or Sunday, Martin likely won't be there - he and his wife Jeannie and three young children live in Iron Springs, but you can join the others on their computers for the on-line Sabbath chat meetings if you want to have fellowship with live people. However, the chat room is good in the privacy of your own homes, too.
Or hey, Jordan, do feel free to come and visit us at 218 Moon River Drive in Moon River Estates almost any time (403-553-2252). You and your brother are more than welcome in our homes; know that. Anyone who believes on the Lord Jesus and wishes to walk with Him as you do is our most welcome and beloved brother; know that!
God grant you to worship Him in spirit and in truth with all your heart, soul, mind and strength! Hope to hear from you soon. God bless you, my brother.
And no need for anxiety now. You're on the road of salvation with nothing to fear. It's not a trouble-free road, this path of Truth, but He'll bring you through all the way as you humbly put your hand in His and trust Him. He's with you or you wouldn't be writing me and talking the way you do. All good!
Victor
