LGAM September-October 2022 Newsletter From the Desk of Brother Tom Let God Arise Ministries Inc. “Ministering God’s Love in the County & City Jails” Thomas M Bridges, Chaplain May-June 2022 Edition “Let God Arise and let His enemies be scattered” ...... Psalm 68:1 ____________________________
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Psalms 1:1-6 NKJV “Celebrating 30+ years of service to Jesus Christ since September 1992". ____________________________ Elizabeth Johnson, mother of Paul said to him son” bloom where you are planted”. Let God Arise Ministries Inc. celebrates three decades (30 years) of ministry into the County, Federal and City jails in Montgomery, Alabama. Jesus Christ planted men & women volunteers among those he said are the least of His brethren, allowing us the great joy of witnessing His unconditional love operate in action. What I have personally learned about God over the years is simple and yet profound “Love never fails”. The darkest of souls that society says to lock up and throw away the key is never left abandoned by Jesus. Just the opposite Jesus purses those that are afflicted, broken, rejected, abused, mistreated and even demon possessed as a challenge to never give up on anyone. Society labels these souls as criminals and Jesus Christ calls criminals,” The Great Commission”. Jesus Himself was called a criminal and died a criminal’s death. Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and take you in or naked and clothe you? Or when did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?' And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to Me. 'Matthew 25: 37-40 Thank God Almighty he never gave up on us. Over 70% of those incarcerated are for non-violent charges. Years ago I had the honor to minister to a woman battling her own demons. I have kept up with her over the years. The Lord never gave up on her and today she is on fire for Jesus Christ. She uses her time to share God’s love. Please read below these powerful and encouraging words she wrote: GOD IS IN CONTROL. NO MATTER HOW BAD THE WORLD HAS GOTTEN, DONT GIVE SATAN THE SATISFACTION OF WORRYING ABOUT IT. HE IS THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD AND GOD IS THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE. HIS HOLY SPIRIT DWELLS WITHIN US THAT BELONG TO HIM. IF YOU HAVE NOT ACCEPTED JESUS INTO YOUR HEART TO BE LORD OF YOUR LIFE AND THE SAVIOR OF YOUR SOUL FROM HELL, THEN I URGE YOU TO REACH OUT TO HIM. HE IS OUR ONLY HOPE AND HE IS THE ONLY WAY BACK TO THE FATHER IN HEAVEN.. HE IS NOT A RELIGION.. HE WANTS TO HAVE A DAY BY DAY RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU. THE MORE TIME YOU SPEND WITH HIM YOU WILL GET TO KNOW HIM AND LOVE HIM SOOOO MUCH. I URGE YOU TO GETA BIBLE, WHICH IS OUR Weapon AGAINST THE DEVIL, AND START BY READING THE BOOK OF JOHN. PRAY BEFORE YOU READ IT THAT HE WILL GIVE YOU WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING AND HE WILL. PLEASE ACCEPT JESUS TODAY, RIGHT NOW, IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY. HE’S EAGER TO HEAR FROM YOU. PLEASE DONT LEAVE THIS WORLD WITHOUT HIM SO THAT HE CAN TAKE YOU TO BE WITH HIM IN HEAVEN FOREVER. HE LOVES YOU SO MUCH, RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE NO MATTER WHERE YOU’VE BEEN OR WHAT YOU’VE DONE. HE LOVES YOU!!! (DLH) Wow! She has blossomed into a beautiful child of God! Let each of us who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord & Savior, “Bloom where we are planted”. Love always, Tom & Beth ---------------------------------------------------------------------------cut here $10000___$5000___$1000___$500___$250___ $150___$100___$75___$50___$25___other
