During the past three years, since May of 2005, while walking through months of personal rehab and the various therapies my family and I required; I began to think and write out my thoughts concerning ministry, the Exchanged Life, gay or ex gay ministry, chronic issues, and all the national responses flying about the media from the scandalous falls of Christian leaders, all the gay propaganda spouting medical and scientific studies, and the need for protective laws – such as the hate crime bill.  Faithfuls, you have often been my sounding board.  Once again I come to you seeking your advice and prayers. 

NewHeart Expressions is one voice amidst hundreds of Christian ministries.  Just ONE!  When I read the stories and history of God’s people throughout all the Scriptures it seems there was usually only one voice, not hundreds or more.  In our modern world there are many voices, including all those who speak Truth on behalf of our precious Lord Jesus.  It is a privilege to live in such a culture as we, where everyone seems to have some voice in this world. 

My first question is – how can this one voice of NewHeart Expressions or Pastor Ron ever be heard?  Or why should it be heard? 

I think I have an answer to the “why”.  Why?  It is because God has and continually compels this voice forward with Truth cushioned in Love; a light in the darkness of storm.    

What is our voice to say?  What is the Truth for today?  I believe Christendom has gotten somewhat side tracked onto the wrong battleground.  It is all well and good for the Church to strive to protect our Christian freedom and rights with law and knowledge.  It is a great endeavor for Churches to speak out against sin.  It is a wonderful privilege that we as families may protect the innocence of our children, such as Dave Parker and his wife in Boston.  We have many great privileges as a nation in the USA and to an extent across the globe.  But what is the Voice of God really saying amidst the rumble of war. 

God spoke to Moses in the heat of battle at the Red Sea.  God spoke to Joshua at Jericho regardless of the mocking screams.  God spoke to Ezra steadily to rebuild the walls and not to be distracted by the screeching bawl around him.  It amazes me how easily distracted we are when the world shrieks!  What are we to be focused on?  We all know Who we are keep our focus toward – Jesus.  However, it seems that not many of us understand the Voice of our Lord as He speaks to our world.  We know we are to look upon Jesus but so often we are deaf.  The Gospel of John Jesus makes a BOLD statement – My sheep hear My voice!  How?  So many voices – which is His voice?  My dear Faithfuls, Jesus stated – My sheep hear My voice!  This means that you and I hear his voice regardless of how loud the noise around us becomes.  Isn’t that good news!!!  As children of God, as new creations made pure and holy, as hearers of the One Voice we do not need to be confused; rather we need to tune in to His voice. 

How?  I have discovered that as I walk after the Spirit, the “Flesh’s” gnawing screams become more and more distant; and the rushing mighty wind in the gentle breezes of Almighty Spirit swell up within us.  Everyday He becomes the calm peace that blows our minds away, yet protects us from harm, causing every situation in life to work out for the good of making me more like Jesus!

Knowing this, today I am RECKONING this TRUTH for NewHeart Expressions and myself.  I am taking possession of the LAND!  God has given NHE men and women who have ear to our Lord Jesus’ Voice.  This is what He says in midst of all the noise: Eternal Life is – knowing the Father and His Son!  All those who look upon Jesus and believe shall be saved!  Salvation is experiencing forgiveness of sin and Jesus’ Life everyday; not one time but a continuous forgiveness and Life, exploding within our lives, regardless of how loud and gruesome the Devil, our Flesh, and this World screams – kills, steals, and destroys.  You see, we can not be defeated because the real battle is already won!  Hallelujah!!! 

What about all the pain and loss we encounter each day?  “Each loss is truest gain if, day by day, He (Jesus) fills the place of all He takes away.”  The Apostle Paul quoted our God saying, “My grace is sufficient”!!!  Jesus our Lord, said it best, “I will never leave you”... and the battle belongs to ME! 

Sinner’s sin... this is no surprise to God.  Christians have the power to choose not to sin... this is no surprise to God.  Gays have gay sex... this is no surprise to God.  People from all walks of life try and impose their thoughts, choices, and feelings – their affections and values upon all communities and cultures.  This too, is no surprise to God.  In the horrors of man’s quest to get his ultimate needs met in and of himself, outside of Jesus – the ultimate supply of our needs; just because He loves us – God still is sovereign and in control and ABLE!
