On The Way To Monday Night Prayer...

Alright now, yesterday, Monday, August 29, 2016 around 6:45p.m. no street-preaching today (as commanded by the Lord) on my way to Monday night prayer meeting at Calvary Christian Center church I was walking down Hoffman Street with my Bible in hand and also had a gospel tract in pocket ready to hand out.

By His Spirit He Spoke and told me to give the short young Hispanic man with the gray T-shirt and gray cap on with his blue jeans on a "Jesus Christ LOVES You!" Gospel of Jesus Christ gospel tract I had in store to pass out as soon as opportunity presented itself.

He's like "Oh thanks, man" as I calmly walked on my way from him and we went about our business. Amen.

Sunday Time!

Okay, okay, on Sunday, August 28, 2016 around 9:35 p.m. on my way to church this morning I was out the house door and led of the Voice of the Lord by His Spirit to street-preach His Word (King James Version Holy Bible [KJV]) walking from the corner cross-street intersection of Hoffman Street and Hillsboro Street; walking up Hillsboro Street witnessing to the people as I crossed over Kress Street onto the grassy area walking on my way to church still witnessing His Word and eventually made a left to Hershe Street where I made it o church ON TIME this time! Wow. An improvement! Amen!

Whoohoo! Amen.

Thus I was in church before church service officially started at 10:00a.m. but the real "kicker" I suppose is when elder brother "J" I'll call him said "Made it in for prayer meeting before service?"

No, I did not unfortunately :P; usually it's a few chosen members of the congregation sit down and discuss with our pastor and then are dismissed".

Well, God-willing, certainly by His Grace, as long as I'm living here in this area, I'll make it a goal to attend even the 9:30 prayer meetings with Pastor T.J. and the brethren. Amen.

~ Sincerely,

Bro. Jed

Street-Preaching In Denver Harbor With Christian Signs!

Yesterday, Tuesday, August 23, 2016 I was led of the Lord to do something I actually haven't done before here in this area officially...

That is, I actually had me two hand-carrying small white cardboard Christian signs to go out and witness with to the people.

One sign read on the front and back, "JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU!" and the other sign read on front and back, "LORD JESUS CHRIST LOVES ALL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD!" as I had wrote a while back.

I had on my black backpack, my medium-sized shoulder-carry white bag and my green laptop computer bag towed by me as I carried the two Christian cardboard signs on my way walking up Hoffman Street.

When I got to Lyons Washateria at the cross-intersection of Lyons Avenue I took a brief break as has been a routine deal for me and after that went back over to a gray and red Fiesta shopping cart to put my belongings in to push along as I held up both of the Christian cardboard signs to the people standing on the curbsides of the sidewalks on Lyons Avenue.

Now looking back in retrospect I looked like a full-fledged, "fleshed-out" homeless person with bags in a shopping cart and holding up "cardboard signs" as though people may have perceived I was "using Christianity" to "beg and panhandle" people on the streets for money; when in actuality on my part I was doing NOTHING of the sort!

I mean, I understand their perceptions because it's common knowledge and stereotype that oftentimes people pushing shopping carts on the streets and at the same time holding up signs are usually "homeless people" out begging people for money; but that was never my intention or purpose on the first place, so I can understand any possible confusion or misunderstanding on their part.

Such was the case when walking further down on Lyons Avenue close up by the Library, I came by Lorenzo's Tire Shop and an older black man saw me pushing my shopping cart of belongings and holding up my Christian cardboard signs to people driving by in their vehicles. He went up to the wired fence and offered me some money, but I politely declined telling him, "No, I don't want any money." and proceeded to ask him shortly if he need the Gospel of Jesus Christ (KJV 1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and if he went to a Christian church and so forth. But I only got a few seconds to talk to him as he had walked off a little while back to his business and work; though I think he got the message. Amen.

So yeah, made it to the park and parked the Fiesta shopping cart by the corner concrete trail of the concrete patio of the green gazebo where many of the local homeless/street people hang out at throughout the day, so they could use the shopping cart if they needed it.

After that, with personal belongings on my back I went into the library to handle my business for that day.

Flash-forward to today, Wednesday, August 24, 2016 I was led of the Lord to place up the two Christian cardboard signs standing up on the two barbecue grill stands here at Cliff Tuttle Park that they may be a witness to people who have come to the park to think of God and His Son, Lord Jesus Christ that some people might be brought to repentance and SALVATION. Amen.

By that reason, I've discarded the Christian cardboard signs as an effective witness without throwing them away into the garbage and/or recycling cans/dumpsters. This is what the Lord imparted me to do as I put down one work in His Name to look forward to His Next, God-willing... Amen!

Sunday Morning RUSH!

On Sunday, August 21, 2016 I was running late to church that started at 10:00a.m but I as out of the house by around 10:05a.m.... MAN! What a mess!

Definitely need to work on getting to church ON TIME as an USHER! Being even there at least 30 minutes earlier to be ready in case of any brief church meetings with elder brother Pastor T.J. and brethren...

Yeah, definitely mindful of all this...

So, on the way there to His House, I heard His Voice and was led of the Lord to street-preach His Word (King James Version Holy Bible [KJV]) walking up Hillsboro Street, then crossing over Kress Street and making a right turn on the sidewalk on Kress Street to walk on to church this morning.

This Sunday, Pastor T.J. taught the congregation on the message of "The Flow of God" and how we as believers need to have a flowing unity in our conduct and organization amongst each other than their be no unnecessary strife, division, contention or "hindrance" of doing the Work of God in the Church and in our lives.

While I won't get into all of it right here, I'll say the message mostly had to do with how the Early Church grew and functioned in the Lord from KJV Acts 2-5 ending up in the beginning of KJV Acts 5 when Ananias and Sapphira conspired to hold back some of the money they were originally going to give over to God's House and did not.

As that story goes, elder brother Pastor T.J. pointed out that was the "breach" in the supernatural FLOW of God at the time that was flowing through the Early Church and how we as believers today should be mindful not to allow our own personal vices, behaviours and attitudes get in the way of disrupting the Perfect Flow of God in the Church. Amen.

Also, after church service, I met the young mixed Hispanic/black woman who says to me "Hey, baby!" in her sweet tone of voice that I've met before for quite a while. She saw I was dressed in my gray dress shirt and gray dress pants and saw with the bible in my hand that I was coming from church.

I said "I'm doing well. You?" She's like, "Yeah, okay..." I say "Amen" as to say "Yeah, I'm just coming from church but what have you been up to lately this early on a Sunday morning? lol" but no "hard feelings".

I did not "push" to ask her" if she goes to church or if she really is a fellow believer of the Lord Jesus Christ or not. But I think she could be... Only God knoweth in the end.

Thus, I was going to "street-preach" on the way home from there-on-out but was not led of the Spirit to do so, so I calmly and gracefully walked the way back home. Amen.

Bro. Jed

A Walk In Town Monday Night...

Yesterday, Monday, August 22, 2016 last night around 7:00p.m. I had made my way to Calvary Christian Center Church to go to Monday Night Prayer Meeting hosted by elder brother F.

Turns out elder brother F. did not make to church to open up for prayer as he usually does...

I was late coming there anyway but the Lord worked it out in the end.

So I waited at the front of the church building front entrance for 5-10 minutes but as I waited and took pictures of the front of the church building with my cell phone's camera feature, the Spirit of the Lord spoke to me and told me "It's okay. No need to wait longer. Go walking." and I did so.

Instead of just heading on back to the house, I was led of the Lord to walk up Kress Street to the Lyons Avenue intersection where I made a right turn on the sidewalk walking on Lyons...

As I walked I caught the eyes of the people looking at me as they drove by in their vehicles.

Today, I didn't go out "street-preaching" or anything as I was not led of the Lord to do so at this time; it was a period of rest.

Seems like this area is "growing on me".

I'm mindful to be respectful, kind and considerate to the people around me and it appears I have gained and/or am gaining the respect and favour of many locals here in Denver Harbor of the Fifth Ward District here in Houston, Texas.

It's been quite a long journey that passed fast...

So, as I was walking with my large-sized brown-burgundy King James Version Holy Bible in my handheld black cotton Bible carrying-case I noticed a young Hispanic man sitting at an iron table bench reading a Spanish newspaper.

This time, the Lord spoke to me in His Spirit saying, "Go on over to him, and give him the card" and so I walked on over to the man who was leisurely reading a Spanish newspaper and unzipped my black Bible case and gave him the "Jesus Christ LOVES You!" Gospel of Jesus Christ gospel tract card I had in a Bible case inside pocket underneath my Bible around 7:20p.m. that late night evening.

He's like "¿Como esta?" and we didn't even really speak on to each other but he said "Thanks" as I left from him in that "Spirit-led encounter".

After that I continued walking down Lyons Avenue up to where I walked up to the telephone booth of the Lyons Washateria where I left a "Lord Jesus Christ Loves You!" Christian paper slip across the hang-up handle of the phone where people could see it and maybe take it away with them if they want.

The Christian websites I usually write on them are usually one, two are all three of these Christian, King James Bible-believing Christian Websites as I'm afforded appropriate space to write on the Christian paper slips:

1. www.jesus-is-savior.com

2. www.theabalonekid.com

3. www.supernaturaltruthinchrist.com

_________________________________________

After that brief break by the Washateria, I kept on walking down Lyons Avenue to scope out the area more since I hadn't been out anywhere all day...

As I walked on the sidewalk I saw some coin change on the ground and picked them up.

Saw two quarters, a dime, nickel and a few pennies as I walked by the sheltered bus stop area and crossed the railroad train tracks.

Local people I've met and "identified" as longtime, perhaps even "lifelong" residents of Denver Harbor smiled, had "kind eyes" or nodded their heads upwards in respect; especially the fellow black men of my peers, older peers and elders.

Also, I practiced obeisance.

People must know me as the "street-preaching" black guy holding and waving up his Bible to people driving by in their cars.

So, still walking around 'til I make the decision pre-thought out but led of the Lord to make a right turn walking down Lockwood Drive and I walked down the way on Lockwood taking in the quiet, spread-out landscape scenery of the poor neighborhoods and area but it was a good, peaceful sunset evening out even though it was pass 7:30p.m.

Sun was still out, waning and it was a beautiful pleasant evening.

As I'm walking by a lot of junk, and trash on the sidewalk and corners of the streets I'm reminded of the "poverty", "complacency" and poor "status-quo" of this neglected environment. It could be better "cleaned up" but people seem to be "okay" with the way it's always been.

A lot of old church buildings and run-down, wooden houses boarded up with wooden boards abandoned. A lot of brick apartment complexes around.

I like getting the "feel" of an area before evangelizing a place. The evangelism must FLOW with the social, cultural and natural environment of a place to be most effective to people's sensibilities.

Yea, yea. Still get a lot of "stealing" hypergamous attraction "stares" from women with boyfriends, husbands or not; but it's NOT LOVE. It's simple "infatuation" or "attraction" and nothing more. I'm not mistaken or fooled by this. I realize it for what it is and nothing more.

They're safe in their comfortable vehicle in their comfortable homes.

I'm out here on MISSION and trying to survive and thrive. My skin's in the game, their skin is not. Amen.

Those women need to "keep their eyes" on their HUSBANDS those that are married and I pity the "boyfriends" of these women who keep "eyeing me" in an "options list" while they wouldn't stop and give me a piece of bread, a ride somewhere or a roof over my head if I really needed it when I'm out here on the streets in need of help.

I'm not at all saying for people to "take care of me" or anything like that.

What I'm saying is I'm reminded of people "cheering me on from a distance" but would NOT partake in the sufferings of Christ to be His Witness of Light in this World of Darkness.

As men, I expect much considerate "compassion" from men who look out for their fellow man on the "fringes" but I can sense some men "would help out" if I really needed their help and pushed for it; but I can tell they really wouldn't help me or any other homeless person on the street out on "inconvenience" on their part unless said homeless person persistently pushes for help from onlookers.

For women, I don't expect any help at all; though the rare occasion could suffice. As they "eye" me as male "eye candy" but wouldn't go to the extent to help me out if I needed help. They're about self-preservation first and the vanity of their lives before helping out their fellow man in need when they're in power to help and it's not out of their way.

I've seen this harsh reality in personal experience.

Such may be the case as when I was about done walking down Lockwood and I saw this young black woman driving up in her car smiling to me.

I was friendly already smiling back with a calm, neutral, lax expression on my face saying "I'm cool..." before I met her up at the cross-street. We smiled at each other and she made her left turn and drove on by.

I'm not doubting her genuine kindness in the smile, but I doubt her sincerity in deeds. A lot of people "smile 'n grin" in your face in public but won't give you a piece of bread when you end up homeless on the street. The REAL TEST is who will be there to help you out when you are down in the dumpster of life living homeless on the streets and have no cushion to fall on.

THAT'S what I respect.

I'm reminded of this old saying I read from a quote since I attended Bellevue High School. It goes something like this if I'm quoting it correctly, "Flattery is like gum. Chew on it but don't swallow it."

The same goes for the "praise of men" in life. Only when you are down in the pit of despair do you know who your "true friends" are in life.

A lot of people "come-and-go" in life.

I only have One True Friend I can depend on. That Friend is LORD JESUS CHRIST! Amen!

The Departure Of An Elder Friend...

Today, Friday, August 19, 2016 I was led of the Lord to walk to the library and get some business done I needed to get done...

Today the Lord gave me this day off from "street preaching" as I only preach when I'm LED OF THE LORD BY THE SPIRIT to do so. There's a rhythm and timing to ministering the Word of the Lord (King James Version Holy Bible [KJV]) to the people. It needs to be done in appropriate spacing. Amen.

Thus, I'm walking down Hoffman Street as usual, make my routine stop at the Lyons Washateria to chill out a bit then I saw this elder Asian lady looking at me from inside the Washateria through the window.

I kindly looked back at her and exchanged eye contact.

After resting a bit, saw another red and gray Fiesta shopping cart off to the side of a parking space and decided to put all my bags in it to push it along so I can save myself some effort and energy from hauling my bags all on my body, giving it a break. Working smart here.

So, as I'm walking down Lyons Avenue, I came across an old friend I've made here in Denver Harbor that I've met since I've first relocated here to Houston, Texas.

He was an older man than me though "young" Hispanic man with a full bushy beard and we stopped and talked a bit after he pointed at me and waved his hand for me to come up to meet him as I was walking into his direction.

So we talked. Turns out he told me how life's been hard from him and to add on to the toil, he said he's got some "bad images" in his head from after an elder friend of ours; the elder Hispanic man he asked me, "Hey, you know that old Hispanic guy, hunched over, who pushes his shopping cart? Yeah, he was really sick or something this Monday, I saw him out last night before he died. But I found him back at the park down on the ground and fire ants we're all over him... Man, can't get those images out my mind..." And he shook his head in surreal grief of how awful the encounter was.

I was truly and still am truly grieved by this elder Hispanic man's passing. Hits close to home! Can't believe how sudden life can end in an instant! Truly sad! Amen! ;(

So I asked my friend right then-and-there if the elder Hispanic man friend of ours had any family, friends or people who would put together his funeral. I asked him, "Hey, you know if the City people's come and got his body?" He's like, "Man, I don't know where they'll take him [the body] he's been living out here on the streets with no I.D." I didn't press further as I wasn't led to but it appears to be clear our elder Hispanic man friend was just living on the streets on his lonesome and I or my friend couldn't tell if he had any "people" around like family and friends that would take over for the deceased elder Hispanic man.

Wow... Smh... This happened this Monday night when I wasn't around town too... Smh...

Not saying I could or could not have prevented this man's death or had anything to do with him (God knoweth) but really feeling bad for how this man died.

Don't know all the details leading up to his death; but when I talked and met him and witness Christ, Lord knows I hope he died in Christ and not in his sins.

If that's the case I can handle grieving better.

I don't like thinking someone I met who dies later dies in their sins and NOT in CHRIST.

I'll be sad, grieving and all but I can handle it much better knowing a brother and sister has died to GO TO THE BEST PLACE: HEAVEN with the LORD! Now THAT is reassuring. Amen.

But I can't handle thinking people I've met die in their sins in life. That's not a good feeling at all. Amen.

Anyways, me and my friend were crossing paths and so after that exchange told him "I'll be praying over that [for the death of our elder Hispanic man friend] and for you." He's like "Alright then, thanks man" and we went our separate ways.

So, still pushing with the shopping, I made my way to cross over Lyons Avenue to the library park side and went by the green gazebo area on the concrete sidewalk trail.

There I met the short young black woman I met yesterday and her "friends and acquaintances"; other homeless/street people types. Perhaps "drifters".

Anyways, she and I made eye contact, gave upward "nods" of the head and in good terms I decided to leave the Fiesta shopping cart I was using to push along my belongings over by them in case they really could use it.

I didn't want the shopping cart back or anything but gave it over completely to them to use as fit.

I had made it to my destination: the LIBRARY.

Also, there was this young Hispanic woman sitting at the brown luncheon table outside of the library by the large tree in the park. She gave me "glances", perhaps "furtive" glances as though hoping I would approach her.

lol If I was going to approach her in that instance, I was going over to her to "hit on her" and chat her up but rather converse and eventually witness CHRIST to her in conversation as I'm always minded to do when talking to new people I meet; before leading to anything else that point forward.

Turns out a young Hispanic man riding by on his skateboard on the concrete sidewalk perpendicular to the young Hispanic woman sitting at the wooden table approached and walked over to talk to her.

Hmmm... probably a young "boyfriend-girlfriend" couple thing going on, lol and she was probably entertaing a "third party" AKA ME! lol.

Anyways, since I'm not like that, I kept cool, avoided eye contact from the couple and heard them talk, then looked over slightly in the peripheral vision of my eye contact and nodded my head friendly to be on good terms "cool with both of them" and I think we all received each other well in good understanding as I walked on...

Made it here to the library. Amen.

Homelessness Shopping Cart Travel

So today, Thursday, August 18, 2016, anticipating my coming "homelessness" once again I packed up some of my bags and walked down Hoffman Street and stopped at the Lyons Washateria for a quick break before walking down Lyons Avenue.

On the sidewalk by the Cash America Pawn saw a Fiesta shopping cart and decided to put my bags and belongings in it.

So I pushed this red and gray Fiesta shopping cart on my way down Lyons Avenue to the local library I routinely visit.

I had to "get accustomed" to people in public looking at me in "sneers" or "overlooking my existence" as a homeless person so they can "bypass the reality" of how hard life can be to make it out here.

I don't respect people who look down on the homeless, poor and unfortunate people, but I do care and "watch out" for their own good when they least expect or if they're even thinking of it.

Notwithstanding, I didn't even have to be necessarily homeless to be "looked down upon" by people ignoring my existence passing by in their cars indifferent towards my plight.

I don't want "pity" here and that's not what I'm talking about here.

I'm talking about the coldness of heart and INDIFFERENCE of heart displayed by the people who only talk down about homeless people and never actually try to help them. Like they get some kind of "high superiority feeling" or "kick" when they see someone down in life so they can feel better about themselves like they are "better" than other people.

At this point in life, when I was first homeless I was frightened and ashamed not knowing what to do and where to go to get back on with my life. That feeling is there in the natural at times even now for me, but I've gotten better at learning how to survive and God-willing will become even better.

As I'm even typing this, I don't know and can't guarantee when I'll be posting on this website, Google+, Twitter and Facebook and other online social media account projects I hope to develop upon throughout time in the Ministry.

Lord knows I'm also hoping to put together a Christian Homelessness Survivalist Guide Book to share my own advice, tips and counsel to people of what I've learned from real world life experience of surviving on the streets as a homeless person. I think it'll be made into an pdf. eBook file before I ever think of doing hard cover real book formats somewhere down the line if it's worth the investment... I make good stuff though. I like doing a QUALITY JOB in everything I do. Amen.

I personally don't really "believe" in buying "electronic books" online on the internet. I would rather download a free pdf. eBook release of some work but I wouldn't purchase an eBook with money.

I'd rather buy a hard cover book of print in person that some "electronic file".

In fact, I don't even really buy any books anymore except King James Version Holy Bibles (KJV) the ONLY Book in my opinion worth spending any money on to buy. I'd buy a Bible before any other worldly secular book or even Christian book by a Christian author. That's just my opinion.

If there's a good deal around on anything, I'm willing to consider changing my mind for purchasing but in general I only buy King James Bibles FIRST then anything else from there. Amen.

Okay, okay, back to the story....

So I met this short young black women around 1:20p.m.-something sitting on top of one of the green iron benches underneath the concrete patio of the green gazebo as I pushed on by in my shopping cart.

At first I thought she hollered to me "I'll take your bags!" but now I'm thinking she may have said "I'll take you basket!" meaning "shopping cart".

I didn't understand what she was saying at first and said "Can't understand you. Whazzup?" as I approached near her to understand what she was saying.

lol From a distance she looked like a short young black boy or man since she had a shaved head and wearing a cap. Couldn't quite tell she was a woman until closer visual examination of her chest as I saw her person.

Don't get me wrong at all lol. I wasn't "starring at her breasts". I wasn't lusting. I was and still am in "no mood" for nonsense... as usual.

So yeah, I could tell she was a woman by her "voice" as I heard it clearer getting closer to her. It was wet, rainy and loud outside of the passing noises of numerous vehicles, trucks and cars so it dispersed out a lot of noise. Amen.

So, she asks "Can I have you basket?". I said "Yeah, I don't need it anymore." She said "You staying around here?" I'm like "No, I'm 'bout to go into the library to handle so business. You can keep the cart. I don't need it no more. I can get another one." and we she smiled in a good spirit saying "Thanks" and we briefly parted ways...

After that quick 'n timely exchange, the short, young, shaved-head black woman was waving with her hands for me to come back to her. I don't follow after women "waving me" to come to them; THEY COME TO ME. A man LEADS, the woman FOLLLOWS. Amen.

So I just stood there and watched until she actually CAME TO ME so I can see where she was going with this. Remember, I don't know her. She's a stranger to me as I am to her.

This is just some random woman I met at the park. She looks like she's been on the streets for quite some time and knows the "ins-and-outs" so I kept to myself. I didn't know if she had some kind of weapon like a gun or knife she could have "pulled off" on me to mess me up and jack my stuff if she had those intentions. I didn't think she did, but one can never be for absolute certain what someone intends to do. You don't know what's on people's minds; only GOD knows. Amen.

That aside, I wasn't at all "fearful"or "worried" about my personal safety but "cautious" as one has to be trying to survive while passing through the streets. You'll know it when you EXPERIENCE IT. Amen.

So, long story short she said, "Can you go with me by the "mobile" at the Fiesta so I can go get me a cigarette?" I'm like thinking to myself "WOW! Why would I do that?!" lol so what I told her was a flat out "No, I'm not going with you over there for a cigarette. I got stuff to do. You don't need that stuff. You need to be trying to make it; not worrying about some cigarette." and she lightly laughed and "chuckled" at my statement as I spoke the truth to her in LOVE cuz she knows buying cigarettes would just be a waste of money. Need that money for FOOD not "getting high" lol. Smh...

Also, we parted paths again and in my spirit I was stirred up: You know, I'm just going to tell this woman about the Lord Jesus Christ because there's no guarantee I might see her again out here ever again. So I followed instinct and got out the "Jesus Christ LOVES You!" Gospel of Jesus Christ white cardboard card I had written and illustrated weeks prior to finally hand over to someone.

I didn't even pray or need to at this point to consult the Spirit of Christ; this just happened so natural, instinctively and URGENTLY. I went and gave her the "Jesus Christ LOVES You!" Gospel of Jesus Christ white cardboard card that she took and said "Thanks". I said, "Here's something I feel led to give you since it's no guarantee I might see you out here again".

She understood; probably wasn't ever expecting anything like that, but it happened.

Thing is, I just GO FOR IT. Worst case scenario she says "No" and I just have the Gospel tract card to give to someone else later. I just pray for her that the Lord works in her heart that she may live in the flesh to repent at a later appointed time by God. Only GOD knows.

But I thank GOD the gifting was successful and she received the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Hopefully she believes and is SAVED. GLORY be to GOD! Amen!

Back In Town... PREACHING!

Today, Wednesday, August 17, 2016 I was led of the Lord to go street-preaching down Hoffman Street and then after a quick stop on Lyons Avenue by the Lyons Washateria I then proceeded to street-preach His Word (King James Version Holy Bible [KJV]) down Lyons Avenue...

There is this stillness and apostasy in the air... People are complacent and indifferent towards SIN.

It's been a week and a few days since I've been back online...

I had to go help my family with some important business down in the Louisiana. Thank God we didn't get completely trapped in by the raining storms flooding down there...

After that, some personal family drama occurred on my way back to Texas and since that time I was wandering the highways by Pearland having made my way to Stafford and Missouri City, Texas. I was a byword and proverb to many of the people who may have seen me... Lord's Will be done... Amen.

Long story short, GOD worked everything all right in the end... thus far. Just having to be more patient and enduring in the time-being...

Now, today, feeling a bit depressed, restless, anxious and angry in wanes back and forth but other than that; alright.

So, so, after having walked down highways for miles off the side of grassy curbsides of the roads; sometimes having to race across a highway bridge to get across a slough or creek without getting all wet in the water at night; it was a SURREAL EXPERIENCE.

Got to take some good photos; God-willing may post them someday.

Also, really having some good ideas for works and projects to do and things that need to get done...

Yeah, yeah, I love the exceptional...

Well, Lord knows I can't "promise" how frequent I may maintain an online presence on the internet and life goes on but this internet ministry the Lord has given me to do is just as important as the real world ministry I'm having to develop on.

Just because I may not be online as much as I would like to it's not because I don't want to but am busy in the real world real life interaction with people I can speak face-to-face about God Almighty, Lord Jesus Christ and His Gospel and Word and not miss out on important opportunities to witness Christ to the people.

By His Grace I'll always keep an online presence going on as a way to minister His Word (King James Version Holy Bible [KJV]) because I definitely have plans for the future; but HIS PLANS and HIS WILL over mine. Amen.

God-willing, hoping to elaborate on some key important details that went down... Amen.

Street Preaching At A Crossroads...

Alright, alright, alright now... So, today, Friday, August 5, 2016 I was led of the Lord to street-preach His Word (King James Version Holy Bible [KJV]) walking down Hoffman Street and then I made a quick break over to the Lyons Washateria; where I met a homeless elder Hispanic man I believe...

This man had his shopping cart of belongings in it and I asked him if the coin change around the concrete slab pillar was his and I picked the change up and put them on top of the concrete pillar.

The man really seemed "down-on-his-luck" and we did not engage in much casual conversation "talking".

In fact, because I'm usually the laidback "quiet listener" when other people are doing the talking, this time I felt led to initiate a brief conversation with the man to see if I could help him in any way.

I HATE seeing people down in life that need help; it's never a good thing. God LOVES everyone.

I asked the elder Hispanic man if he was from around the area but he just sat down, back hunched over, mind probably in a tired trance and I did not perceive if he was "fully there" when I politely, calmly and patiently spoke to him...

I won't go all into all the details of what followed up... but I had to WALK AWAY and keep my distance from him for a moment he did something VERY INAPPROPIATE to do in public (although I perceived not too many people were "eyeing" in our direction; at least I hope so... lol. Amen).

I said, "Hey sir, please don't do that. That's not right. Please sir, don't do that out in public..." as I motioned my back to block the view of some people who could have possibly seen in our direction as I stepped into the Washateria to avoid being seen with that "scene".

LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, PLEASE FORGIVE ME FOR WHAT I'VE SEEN WITH MINE OWN EYES! O FATHER!

PLEASE FORGIVE ME of my SINS as I forgive those who have sinned against me. Amen!

So I went into the Washateria and after the "deed" was done came back out to speak to the man and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ (KJV 1 Corinthians 15:1-4) with him. I said to the man, "Do you know the Gospel of Jesus Christ?" to which I didn't really get a clear answer or response; just he and I "eyeing" each other awkwardly for a brief while. Then I suggested sharing him the Gospel, I said, "Well the Gospel of Jesus Christ is 1. Jesus Christ died on the Cross, 2. Jesus Christ was buried and 3. Jesus Christ rose from the dead back to life (on the third [3rd] day). If you believe in your heart the Gospel of Jesus Christ and you trust on Jesus Christ you are SAVED and FORGIVEN of your sins BORN AGAIN of the HOLY GHOST and inherit eternal life in Heaven."

To which he said "Yeah, yeah..." as he eyed out in the distance....

I told him I hoped he was alright and that I was concerned for him being out here on the streets. Said I don't "get into people's business" but whenever I can I am willing to do what I can to help people out in life.

I think he understood I meant him well as he's like "Yeah, yeah" and his eyes and face livened up when he saw some sincere compassion and empathy coming from another human-being.

In other people's eyes he's just an "old, raggedy, smelly, homeless bum" but in GOD'S EYES he's a precious soul He wants to LOVE and develop a relationship with in FAITH. Amen!

Well, though I was willing to go further in helping the elder Hispanic man out I NEVER "impose" myself or "force myself" on someone who does not want any help for the time-being so I told him I was heading off to the library. That I'm a Christian and a street preacher and left it there.

Lord knows He's led me to meet many unique and different people from all walks of life over the course of this journey and by His Grace, many more souls will be WON TO CHRIST! Amen!

Okay, so, I'm walking done Lyons Avenue street-preaching His Word (King James Version Holy Bible [KJV]) and I'm saying to people driving by in their vehicles are sorts of exhortations and one-liners of REPENTANCE: "God loves you!", "Trust ye on the Lord Jesus Christ!", "Jesus Christ DIED for you!" "God loves you! Trust on His Son, Lord Jesus!" "Jesus Christ is the Way... The Truth... and the Life! Trust ye on the Holy Son of God, Lord JESUS CHRIST!" "God's calling out to you!" "You know you need GOD! We need GOD! It's never too late to TRUST ON JESUS!" and so on and so forth.

It's been quite a challenge and Test of Faith from the Almighty...

Thing is, a train was blocking the passage of Lyons Avenue and a lot of people had to go on the back streets to get on East Freeway to avoid being stuck by the train and so a lot of people were coming back in my direction and the Lord granted me opportunity to preach His Word to them along with the help of a few red traffic stop lights lol.

So... on the other side of the street on Lyons I saw "Ms. R", an elder black woman and elder sister in Christ who say, has lived a life "mainly on the streets" from what I've perceived. I met here shortly after moving here in Denver Harbor and every now-and-then I have everyday "encounters" with her from time-to-time.

Like many people living on the "fringes" of society like the streets; many people have their own little "agendas", "schemes" and con artist "manipulations" at play to "prey" on unsuspecting "street-ignorant", gullible, naïve folks.

So, when I first met Ms. R, I thought she was just an ordinary homeless person out of "luck" and "down in life"; so after a brief initial chat, we talked. I gave her 20 dollars and gave her food and stuff as I had available whenever I was around and saw her.

Turns out, long story short, she's a "regular street local" who just "chooses to live on the streets" for her way of life.

I've seen her always "hustling" for a ride out of town to Humble, Katy or someplace... asking people to take her places and doing whatever it is she does from place-to-place.

Thing is, she was a MANIPULATOR using my sincere KINDNESS for WEAKNESS!

She always called by her "baby" in the sense of a kind of "motherly affection" but I always suspected it carried with it a hint of DISRESPECT or CONDESCENSCION trying to avoid the REALITY of being in the presence of a strong, young man of FAITH not "looking down on her" but rather "in respect and acknowledgment of her.

Anyways, she had a few incidents with different people, ended up in the hospital and was out with a cast on her left arm. The thing is she's always trying to "rationalize" and "PROJECT" what SHE NEEDS TO DO IN HER LIFE, ON ME! lol. Amen.

Yeah, she'll say in that "sistahly voice", "You be careful... baby"; I'm like "Yeah, you as well. (lol to myself... Smh)".

One time she said that to me again and I said, "No, NO Ms. R! YOU are the one that needs be careful. I'm not the one "ending up in the hospital around here" on the streets. YOU need to be careful. NOT me." and she "caught herself" as her facial expression was "caught by surprise"; she knew it meant right.

And also I said things over the course of time like, "You need to stop on with smoking those cigarettes and drinking that stuff (i.e. "beer")" JUST WHEN SHE JUST GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL now living hard on the streets again... A continual endless cycle...

After a while, I stopped "giving her money" when I knew she was just using me and kindness for granted. I was trying to help her out any way I can, but after a while I soon realized she was "used to" living on the streets like she's always been doing and not trying to "move into a place of her own with her own life"; maybe that's how she'll always do. So I distanced myself from her. I prayed unto the LORD for His Wisdom in her life and doing all I could to witness Christ in my life to her life; did all I could and now it's in the Lord's Hands. Amen.


Anyways, saw her again today this time sitting at the park bench as I was street preaching here on Lyons Avenue and she said "Hey baby!" as she usually does and I said "Hey, I'll see you in a little while!" as I continue doing the Lord's Work.

Thus after a while, I heard the voice of someone calling out to me and I kept my place still hearing the man calling out until I was sure I perceived him "calling out to me" and not someone else (I don't like being "distracted" by people trying to keep me off course from doing what the Lord has me do) and I turned my back over to look behind me and see him as I walked over to him standing at Vargas Food Mart.

It was the same Hispanic man I had met two days ago now...

We talked and parted ways...

After this, I see Ms. R walking down on the sidewalk. She turns to look behind to see if I was going to walk to her. I was on my way but the cars were driving by constantly in both directions of the street. I did not have the right time to cross over yet.

So when I finally cross over and am on my way to walking over to her... She's just "walked on" with her business like I never existed. Like a random stranger to her.

Oh yeah, she didn't have that same kind of "bubbly enthusiasm" towards me (if it was even genuine to begin with. I believe it's partial and superficial...), but when she saw me out street preaching the Word of God (King James Version Holy Bible [KJV]) and not allowing myself to get sucked into a time-consuming conversation at the expense of me leaving doing the Work of God just to "talk to her"; she knows I mean BUSINESS about the LORD and I'm not no "naïve", gullible person she can maneuver, manipulate  and USE to get money or something from for HER SELF-BENEFIT. She never really asked "How I'm doing" to the same extent I was sincerely concerned for her welfare. It was not the same. I can tell the difference. I know when people actually care about my own personal well-being as I do them.

But in the end, I gotta cut Ms. R some slack, she DID give me a nice bottle of cologne to wear a few months back... She "gave back" in her own ways to some extent. I still have it and use it for when I'm going to church. It's good stuff. A good scent.

I don't expect or want people to be "obligated" to "help me back" because I helped them out in life. I only hope that people I help would be WILLING TO HELP ME OUT IN COMPASSION the same way I "had their backs" when they needed it.

It's the FEELING of KNOWING someone WOULD HELP ME BACK because they actually WANT TO, not to "pay me back" for helping them out in "obligation". I don't care for that. I love to help people and I like to think people I help would do the same for me.

I just like the idea, someone else would "have my back" when I'm in need as I do for those I do my best to help out.

Anyways, women like her, I know I CAN'T TRUST but deep down she seems like she "means well" but just can't be trusted with the true "big stuff" to actually HELP OUT SOMEONE ELSE than JUST YOURSELF. Not really "going anywhere" with anything but just schmoozing along life USING PEOPLE IN THE PROCESS.

I don't trust people like her with my life, but for some small things I think she "could do" but that would only be if she is WANTING TO HELP ME OUT. Not really...

She was OUT ONLY FOR HERSELF first trying to "get something from me" with any sly, slick new tactic she would say...

Anyways, she realized I was not going to "enable" her to live her usual life on the streets as her "lil' boy toy" provider boy. Just "giving her money" ... to spend of beer and/or cigarettes... Not like she's using mainly to "pay bills" or some nature (to my knowledge lol). Using handouts for want SHE WANTS.

Smh... I have FAMILY and FRIENDS I've been knowing I need to pay back and help back that have helped me in the past than to just "give out money" to someone who's been living on the streets there WHOLE LIVE without any intention of actually wanting to move on in life into a house or apartment.

People like this just LIVE OFF THE KINDESS OF PEOPLE without really trying to HELP THEMSELVES OUT and I can't and must NOT "enable" that kind of wicked, errant lifestyle mindset of "getting over" people to continue. It's NOT "healthy" for the people or society.

NOT the way to go.

Please don't get me wrong; I CARE for HOMELESS PEOPLE since I actually was HOMELESS as well and I understand the hardships...


But what I'm talking about here are the ABUSERS OF THE SYSTEM: schemers, manipulators and CON ARTISTS "living off people" as a way of life and not "paying their way" to move on and live on their own; simply just users USING PEOPLE to take care of them their whole way in life; without reciprocating the same concern to those that help them.

I'm NOT talking about the unfortunate homeless people who lost their jobs, evicted out of their homes, apartments or housing and are actually trying to get their lives back on track of a normal life in society who don't "manipulate" and "use" people to make it through life.

It's okay if people CHOOSE TO BE HOMELESS as a way of life, just please don't "play me as a fool" to use me to get money and/or resources from me leaving me to "hang and dry" and then turn a "blind eye" and don't give a rat's b-hind when I'm in need being cold, naked and hungry starving out here in the wilderness and you go home to a warm, cozy home at night! Amen!

I wouldn't "cheat you" like that! Amen!

I've helped out people homeless, that if it was role-reversed in my heart-of-hearts I KNOW they would not have did me as GOOD as I DID THEM! More often that NOT I'm sure many of these people would BETRAY ME and turn a "blind eye" if it was me again in the homeless situation. Right out IGNORING my existence as "just another" typical, poor black, uneducated ghetto homeless guy living on the streets with no future in their VAIN MINDS... Amen!

Do unto others as you would have them DO UNTO YOU! It's the Way we should ALWAYS live our lives. Amen!

Street Preaching The Return!

Today, Wednesday, August 3, 2016, I was led of the Lord by the Spirit to street-preach walking down Hoffman Street, to Lyons Avenue where I stopped by the telephone booth on the concrete patio deck of Lyons Washateria to take a quick break before continuing street-preaching.

I had to wipe my hot sweaty face with my blue face towel to get all the sweat from running down my face lol. I later cleaned up at the library's men's restroom...

So... I'm walking down on Lyons Avenue having made a left turn to walk on the sidewalk. I'm holding up the Word of the Lord (King James Version Holy Bible [KJV]) in my hands up to the people and making good eye contact and motion-gesturing with the Book holding it up to my head then holding it to my heart of the left side of my chest.

God's been WORKING in people's hearts! I can sense and tell the expressions!

Lately, for the last few days I was NOT street-preaching as I normally would. Throughout those few days I was following through what one of my elder brothers in Christ and my mentor would call a "season of rest".

Sometimes as a Christian street-preacher we must learn to ONLY PREACH WHEN LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GO TO DO SO. Don't ever make a bad habit of "preaching in the flesh".

For instance, if I "street-preached" every single day with no breaks in between people would get tired and frustrated with hearing and seeing me "street-preaching" every day reminding them they have turn their backs on God. People know, I don't have to constantly remind them of their unbelief. That's not my job. It's GOD'S JOB. Amen.

So what I must remember is to street-preach whenever I'm REALLY HEARING THE VOICE OF GOD to go out and preach and then STOP when He says "It's enough".

People need time to let those seeds of repentance work in their hearts before adding more water to the seed.

It's like watering a plant. You don't keep on "overwatering" a plant every day, but you give just as much water as the plant needs and you LEAVE THE PLANT ALONE to grow and THEN COME BACK TO TEND TO IT.

That's what I've learned. That's why every now-and-then when I'm not street-preaching, I make a deliberate effort to "disappear" for a while out of the presence of the locals and go someplace else or stay out of public view when not doing personal business out in public.

Lol, I'm not "hiding" away from people but I'm just not "hanging around" locals who kinda already get the sense of what I'm about which is GOD'S WORD and HE ALONE. I'm all about GOD and nothing else really.

People can sense and understand that after a while of encountering me on the streets street-preaching His Word (King James Version Holy Bible [KJV]).

Yeah, I'm not doing this to be "seen of men"; I'm not making a "spectacle of myself" just to be an "attention-seeker". I don't care at all for that stuff. If that was the case, I would be doing something else than "street-preaching" for attention. I don't care for people's attention for the sake of "attention-seeking".

I am ONLY out here "street-preaching" because the LORD JESUS CHRIST has LED ME TO DO THIS and also because I absolutely enjoy street-preaching and preaching for the ministry it is! I LOVE to PREACH! Amen!

Also, so, as I was walking down on Lyons Avenue, after I crossed over the cross-street of Woolworth Street, I met this elder Hispanic man in his red truck parked at the gas station section of Vargas Food Mart motioning his head nodding "yes" and signaling his hand towards me to come to him, so I did. Hesitantly at first. I was not used to people usually wanting me to "come to them" than the other way around.

So, this elder Hispanic man had a green tattoo tear drop under the socket of his left eye and had some various tattoos on his arm or arms from what I saw as I got closer up to him. We talked.

He asked on mutual ground that I "knew the Lord" as he did. And I said "yes".

He asked what kind of ministry I do, or more so, 'What I am doing here holding a bible street-preaching on the streets?' is what I figured.

So, he's like "Hey, I know the Lord... Just wondering what you do..."

Because of timing, as he seemed like he wanted to get going and get things done so I just told him the bulk of what I perceived he wanted to know; said I street-preach and minister on the streets, pass on gospel tracts and do whatever ministry the Lord leads me to do to reach out His Gospel and Word to people. (Also have some "anointing oil" in hand, in case the Lord leads me to anoint the scalp of a person and pray over them. Yeah, thinking back, I could have done that to the man; but Lord's Will be done... Amen.)

Told him I currently serve as an "usher" at my family's home church of "Calvary Christian Center Church" and told him if he's ever around town if he goes to the church, I'll be their usually opening the doors of the church if he wants to meet up again.

The church street address for "Calvary Christian Center Church" is 544 Henke Street, Houston, TX 77020.

(Note:If anyone reading this lives here in Denver Harbor of Houston, Texas in the Fifth Ward District and you're looking for a good church to attend, I strongly suggest you check out our local church. It's a good start to further grow up in the Faith. Amen.)

Also, since he seemed to be wanting "more" than what I was providing him in terms of "information"; he said "Will you pray for me?" and so right as I went to place both my hands on his head with his cap on to pray for him; I started to pray, but then reminded myself in the Spirit of the Scripture of KJV 1 Corinthians 11:4-5 and so, I asked him if he could "take his cap off" as I told him it's "not good for a man to pray with his head covered"; and so after he agreed and took his cap off I then place both my hands on his head and prayed over him and his life unto God.

After that, we parted ways, as I made mentioned, if he's ever in town we might "meet again" and so go from there as the Lord leads to which he agreed. Amen.

So, now I crossed over Lyons Avenue to the other side of the street where the park and library is and meet my local Hispanic man friend walking from hanging out under the green gazebo. I see him walking towards my direction and said, Hey, how you doing man? God LOVES you!" And he's like "I'm doing alright, but I got a lot of stuff going on..." Told him "God knows your life and what you're going through. Do you be asking Him in prayer and OBEYING Him?"

I say things like that to people because I care for their concerns and challenges and I don't like anyone to feel as though I'm ever "imposing myself" into their personal business. I say GOD knows what they're going through because only HE DOES; I don't know the personal circumstances of what people are dealing with and it's NOT MY PLACE TO KNOW. I offer help when it's needed and better yet, if someone accepts my help of the Lord.

So anyways, I say "God wants better for you than what you're living. God wants the BEST for you in life." And my older Hispanic friend (young man, but quite older than me I figure) says "Yeah, I know... Still going through a lot of things... Had a hard life" and I say "Yeah, I understand that... Well, if you're ever around and want to talk about things, if you see me around by the library and the park I'm willing to hear you out and talk" and he replies, "Yeah, okay man, thanks then, I'll remember that. If you're around, yeah, thanks for having someone to talk to and listen" and we parted ways from there.

___________________________

I'll NEVER ever "force myself" on anyone to hear and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ (KJV 1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and the Word of God (King James Version Holy Bible [KJV]) if they don't want to. It's up to THEM if they want to believe or not. I only PRESENT THE MESSAGE and those who are willing to hear and receive His Message will receive it.

I've learned from great PERSONAL EXPERIENCE that it's ALWAYS usually best when GOD convicts or stirs someone's spirit up to want to COME TO ME to hear the Gospel and the Word than for to "walk in the flesh" and chase someone down to believe in God. No... I don't do that... I would never do that. It's FREE WILL.

People must CHOOSE out of their own FREE WILL because THEY WANT TO BELIEVE IN GOD; not because somebody "forces" them to believe. That's NOT "real" behaviour.

You can't make people do something they do NOT want to do out of their own personal free will. Let people do as they will, because then you know it's REAL and not out of forced coercion, bullying, manipulation or "guilt-trips" or any wicked tactic to "make people do want YOU WANT THEM TO DO". Amen.

God gave us human-beings FREE WILL because He wants His Creation to LOVE HIM out of a pure heart because we actually WANT TO LOVE and OBEY HIM, not because we "feel forced to love and obey Him" simply because He is our Creator Who created us and we feel "obligated to do so".

God KNOWS that of His Omnipotent, Incomprehensible Power, FREE WILL is something He gave to us mortal, finite human-beings because He does NOT want to "control" whether we believe, will serve, worship and obey Him as we rightfully should being such the Perfect, Holy, Good God He is.

God wants every single human-being to have CHOICE to believe Him or not, obey Him or not, because you only know the "relationship" or "friendship" is real only if you give "FREE WILL" of CHOICE for someone to want to be with you or not. It's NEVER an actual "real relationship" if anyone feels "threatened", "manipulated" or "FORCED" to be with you if hate you or simply don't want to have anything to do with you, period. God KNOWS this. That's what separates us from His holy angels.

Whether one "loves Him" or "hates Him" God only wants the true,GENIUENE LOVE, INTEREST, ATTENTION, OBEDIENCE and REVERENCE from His Children and nothing "superficial" or "fake" in our relationships to Him. Amen.

"Gotta SAVE 'Em All!"

Hello, hello, hello all... It's been quite a "fruitful" eventful days lately... A lot of stuff is coming into transition.

Today, Tuesday, August 2, 2016 I got to "redeem myself" and witness the Gospel of Jesus Christ (KJV 1 Corinthians 15:1-4) to three different individuals today! GLORY BE TO GOD! Amen!

Last night, I was hoping to go to Monday Night Prayer with elder brother F. at Calvary Christian Center Church but I "messed up my own timing" because I was too busy cooking and eating dinner too late at the time I should have been out the door...

Yep, it was a FAILURE and MISSED OPPORTUNITY on MY PART to be a witness for Christ street-preaching as I made my way to Monday night prayer...

Man, I HATE that and the thing is I have ONLY MYSELF TO BLAME! I have to TAKE RESPONSIBITY FOR MY OWN FAILURES and DO BETTER THE NEXT TIME. Amen.

I absolutely HATE and LOATHE missing out on opportunities lead by the SPIRIT OF GOD to witness Christ to the people. But I digress...


So, I was walking down Hoffman Street around 11:20a.m this morning and saw these two Hispanic woman lugging their personal belongings in their suitcases to someplace. As I approached, I walked over to them, and gave them each a "Jesus Christ LOVES You!" Gospel of Jesus Christ gospel tract.

The young teenage-looking Hispanic young woman with long blue-dyed hair and nose and lip piercing said "Thanks, you have a wonderful day" in astonishment.

In like manner the older, mature Hispanic woman (possibly the younger woman's mother or aunt/ related family?) said "Thanks as well".

I guess they were not expecting that, and neither was I directly. Just APPROACHED in FAITH without even really consulting the Lord on this one and the Lord answered my faith with acceptance! Amen!

So I make it over to the library and clean up my sweaty face in the bathroom; walk out and head over to give a "Jesus Christ LOVES You!" Gospel of Jesus Christ gospel tract to a young Hispanic man covered in tattoos who I always see as a local resident walking and roaming around the streets... People may call him a "thug" on the outer appearance as I kind of assumed as well, but it never committed my attention. I don't care what kind of "person" I witness too; I like all people. God LOVES everyone and wants all people to be SAVED. Amen!

He's all, (as I slowly walked over to hand him the gospel tract) "Alright, alright..." as saying that in the sense he probably should have turned to the Lord a long time ago.

Either way folks, it's ALWAYS best to TURN TO THE LORD LATER than NEVER! Amen!

In fact as I'm typing this a group of four rambunctious young Hispanic kids playing this wildly popular "Pokémon Go!" game are carried away in these wicked enchantments.

I'm definitely no stranger to the popular entertainment franchise of "Pokémon" since my childhood (call me a kind of "expert" lol) as I hope to personally elaborate on, God-willing, in future articles and posts and perhaps even a YouTube vid down the way...

Yeah, a whole lot of things I'm planning and hoping to get around to... *IF* it be the LORD's WILL. Amen.

Girl says "I'm so blessed!" I say "No, you're blessed because of the Lord not the game". Smh... she was getting so "immersed" and obsessed with the "Pokémon Go!" game that it was making these kids run, jump and look under the tables to "catch some 'mons"... Smh lol, it's really SCARY in the end of it all.

Just like I warned the boy of the group (it was one boy and three girls in this group of kids) not to get too "addicted" to this game that he might run out into the streets to catch some "rare", exotic Pokémon as in the gaming franchise such as the Pokémon "Mewtwo"; I think he "caught himself" a little to realize he needs to refocus his attention back to the REAL WORLD at least a little.

I know, as kids, we used to all live in our own "fantasy worlds" but as we grow up, we need to FOCUS OUR ATTENTION in the REAL WORLD of this earthly life and NOT the "imaginary" worlds of our imaginations. Amen.

The thing is, since I know a great deal about Pokémon and the whole structures of the Pokémon world, I know Pokémon is SATANIC IN ORIGIN and is a wicked abomination of WITCHCRAFT, SORCERY and IDOLATRY to name a few major big sins.

The Pokémon" as mentioned in the Pokémon world, especially the Pokémon called the "Legendary Pokémon" would be ascribed as GODS of the world by the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Amen.

In the Pokémon world some of the human inhabitants refer to these mystical, powerful, renowned, ancient Pokémon of legend as deities which is BLASPHEMY against the WORD OF GOD (King James Version Holy Bible [KJV]) and the ONLY TRUE GOD, the REAL GOD, LORD JESUS CHRIST! Amen!

Oh yeah, here I am, hearing the two girls and then the Hispanic boy came back in; still looking for Pokémons... Smh... I am NOT liking this wicked, evil DECEPTION of the Devil, SATAN people! PLEASE THROW AWAY and DESTROY these filthy, abominable Pokémon idols people! Amen!

It's like my childhood has come to life haunting me in real life, but in an actual REAL WORLD phenomenon!

"My G-d, my G-od!" says the young Hispanic boy as he looks towards catching another Pokémon. Smh... blasphemy, but the po' kid don't know it in IGNORANCE; like a lot of these kids and people.

Also, this new "Harry Potter" book called "Harry Potter And the Cursed Child" is also another DECEPTIVE DISTRACTION of the Devil, SATAN to confuse the people. Please, PLEASE do not fall for this latest trickeries of Satan to LEAD YOU TO HELL and AWAY FROM CHRIST! Amen!

If you don't know already, Harry Potter is WITCHCRAFT of the Devil, SATAN. Amen! Avoid, destroy your Harry Potter books and videos and GET RID OF THAT FILTH so that NO ONE ELSE can be "poisoned" by this witchcrafts! Amen!


Hmmm... Yep, seeing a lot of familiar, local residents and people I've met in my journey here in Denver Harbor of Houston, Texas at this library...

It's been quite a long journey of ups-and-downs...

I don't know when exactly the Lord is leading me to leave, but sooner or later, I feel as though it's coming to a close to leave this place and go elsewhere...

God-willing, because I have family and friends here and I know the brethren here at Calvary Christian Center Church I can see myself coming back here to Denver Harbor for two main reasons and those reasons only: 1. GOD and 2. FAMILY. Under "God" includes the Ministry He has given me to do including working with local churches and so forth (o be developed, God-willing...). Under "Family" watching after my close family and friends and their provision and good welfare; just taking care of those who help take care of me and vice-versa. Amen.

A Brief Spontaneous "Piggly Wiggly" Surprise...

It's been a great while since I've had good opportunity to be able to give someone one of my handwritten " Jesus Christ LOVES ...
