IN THE GOOD TIMES AS WELL AS THE BAD. THIS IS REALLY TOUGH TO DO, BUT WE STAND TO BECOME STRONGER IN OUR FAITH IF CAN REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE. LEND A HELPING HAND TO A FRIEND, OR TO A NEIGHBOR, OR BETTER YET, AN ENEMY. THEY WILL WONDER FOR SURE THE DRIVING FORCE OF YOUR KINDHEARTED ACTIONS. WE ARE TOLD TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER REGARDLESS OF OUR DIFFERENCES. THIS IS HARD TO DO AS WELL. HOWEVER, WE ARE INSTRUCTED BY GOD, TO CARRY OUT THIS TASK OF CARING AND HELPFULNESS SO THAT WE MAY BECOME MORE LIKE JESUS IN OUR DAILY WALK WITH HIM. EVERYONE TAKE CARE AND BE CAREFUL AND ALLOW JESUS TO HANDLE YOUR PROBLEMS, THERE IS NO GREATER FRIEND.

MAY THE LORD BE WITH ALL OF THE PEOPLE TRAVELING TO AUTUMN OAKS AND MAY THEY ARRIVE SAFELY. I PRAY THAT ALL OF THE HUNTERS AND THEIR HOUNDS BE KEPT SAFE DURING THE CASTS AND I ASK THAT THESE PEOPLE DEMONSTRATE HONESTY AND SPORTSMANSHIP SO THAT THE TRUE MEANING OF A COMPETITION HUNT CAN BE EXPERIENCED BY ALL. THIS CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED BY EVEYONE DEMONSTRATING THEIR HONESTY AND HONOR FOR THE BEST HOUND THAT IS AMONG EACH INDIVIDUAL CAST. LORD GRANT THESE PEOPLE JOY WHILE THEY PARTICIPATE IN THE WONDERFUL SPORT THAT YOU HAVE PROVIDED THEM WITH, MAY THEY BE THANKFUL FOR THIS AND OFFER PRAISE UNTO YOUR HOLY NAME.
IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST I PRAY AND OFFER PRAISE, AMEN.

COONHUNTER IN CHRIST,

BRAD E. ISAACS

OUR JOURNEY--OUR RACE--LASTS AS LONG AS GOD GIVES US LIFE,AND WERE NOT MEANT TO WANDER OFF THE TRACK,OR QUIT AND JOIN THE SPECTATORS,OR DECIDE WE,LL JUST SLOW DOWN AND TAKE IT EASY WHILE OTHERS PASS US BY.OUR EXAMPLE IS JESUS,{HEBREWS 12:2"WHO FOR THE JOY SET BEFORE HIM ENDURED THE CROSS,SCORNING ITS SHAME,AND SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE THRONE OF GOD"}HE FAITHFULLY RAN THE RACE GOD HAD PREPARED FOR HIM ,EVEN AT THE COST OF HIS OWN BLOOD.GOD DIDNT INTEND FOR US TO TRAVEL OUR JOURNEY IN OUR OWN STRENGTH ANYWAY,BUT WITH THE STRENGTH HE SUPPLIES.I AM CONVINCED THE MAIN REASON SO MANY CHRISTIANS BECOME SPIRITUALLY DISCOURAGED AND DEFEATED IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NEVER DISCOVERED THIS TRUTH.THEY ASSUME IT MUST BE UP TO THEM TO LIVE THE CHRISTIAN LIFE,AND THEY NEVER MAKE USE OF THE RICH RESOURSES GOD HAS ALREADY PROVIDED TO STRENGTHEN US FOR THE JOURNEY.LIKE A GUEST WHO IS INVITED TO A BANQUET BUT NEVER SITS DOWN TO THE MEAL,THEY HAVE NEVER LEARNED TO DRAW THEIR STRENGTH FROM GODS RESOURCES.DONT LET THIS BE TRUE FOR YOU!,,,,ASK THE LORD INTO YOUR LIFE TODAY AND START THIS AWSOME JOURNEY,, ITS GREAT TO BE HOME,I ENJOY VACATION, BUT THERES NO PLACE LIKE HOME,THANKS FOR READIN,,GOD LOVES YA, WE LOVE YA,HAVE A BLESSED DAY,SEE YA TOMORROW IF THE LORDS WILLIN,YOUR FRIEND IN CHRIST RON

Brad, I think MOST of our "fears" are fear of not being accepted or "fitting in".

God created each one of us individually and he "accepts" us unconditionally. We also have a place to "fit in", We just need to accept it and beleive it.

Matthew 7:13

The Narrow Way

13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.14 Because [a] narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.


So many of us, myself included, have left opportunity to share our faith with those around us. Coonhunters are a rough breed, we all wonder, if I share my faith with this person, will I lose a friend?

What if Jesus had thought that same way? How manby of us would be doomed? He gave his life freely for each and every one of us that whoever should call on his name would be saved. Who are we to choose who should become saved or not? By thinking the way I have in the past, as stated above, in essence I Have played GOD, I have not done my due diligence in the past with this chapter and verse in Particular;

The Great Commission
Matthew 28:18-20
18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Recently through prayer and just the God Given understanding of the word, I now understand, it is not all about me, it is about all of us. The gate is narrow that leads to Glory, we al need to be doing everything we can to not be afraid, again, here is fear working for Satan and keeping us from sharing,teaching, preaching, and just plain witnessing , to the lost. By being afraid and allowing the Devil to win, we really do allow him to win, and the Kingdom of heaven loses. Every lost soul is far too precious to be taken lightly, there is ahell to shun and a heaven to gain.


SALVATION!

Every day with God is blessed that is for sure. I have struggled with thinking that I need to lead someone to Salvation each day. I used to think I had to do this or do that, but a little thing happened, as I stated above, God showed me, it is simply not about me! God has called me to kind of be a "Plower" I try to break ground with a person whenever I can, if they are led at that moment to turn thier life over to the Lord, EXCELLENT! If not, I have prepared the soil and planted a seed, certainly God will send fertilizers, waterers, and eventually someone to pick the vine so to speak. In the end it is not important who eventually stands with that person and witnesses his public declaration, but that that declaration takes place! How many people will we meet in heaven who through our lives or testimony have gone on to find the Lord? I often think I am not doing enough, stinking I, I, I, I, I. God does the hard stuff, all we can do is share, praise GOD!
