A SPIRITUAL MOMENT DURING
THE SYMPHONY OF LIFE
I had just been widowed the second time and felt that all was lost and life was over, but, a lady destined to be my third wife, named Phyllis, rescued me from the grief I had let encompass me. We were married September 2, 2000. It was the beginning of a precious time in my life as she was a true helpmeet. That same year I was influenced by some indescribable power, the Holy Spirit of God to write a story. It began as a memoir of my life to leave as a heritage for my descendants. I was constantly having my memory refreshed by reliving every event in my life, and I was viewing it all through the lens of scripture. God’s Holy Spirit guided me by revealing truths not before knowledgeable. Proof that the events I experienced are evidence of the validity of the Bible being the uncompromising, inerrant and the absolute true word of God. At the same time the Holy Spirit revealed the existence and ever present force of evil. This spirit of evil is God’s adversary who is dedicated to separate each one of us from one another, and permanently from the love of God.
I worked diligently with a literary agency to display my unpublished work to publishing houses, but it was of no avail. After six years past, I was widowed again for the third time, and eventually found myself in a retirement and assisted living establishment due to being disabled caused by macular degeneration resulting in sight impairment. Less than one year later I am legally blind and it was impossible to use my computer to finish or make any changes to my work. However, God was not through with me or my stories which by this time were changed to being His messages. Being a World War II veteran I was invited by the department of veteran’s affairs to attend a rehabilitation program for the blind. I received training how to overcome my handicap and was given a new computer with software installed having advanced technology. The software now permits me to hear what I write as I write it and should I misspell a word it alerts me. It also will audibly read whatever is displayed on the monitor if I activate the document reader. With nothing to hinder my submerging myself into His word recorded in His Holy Bible, I had no excuse not prioritizing time to study God’s Word.
While I gained knowledge that according to His word, is not easily comprehended because of the work of Satan for centuries past. He has since revealed certain truths to me only available through the revelation work of His Holy Spirit. While listening to the wee small voice of the Spirit of God, He expounded on the Excellency of my gaining knowledge of the power in the anointing of Jesus. The key to this knowledge was stolen or lost before the earthly ministry of Jesus by the malicious and devious work of Satan. You might ask how it was stolen. Satan was able to expound on the frailty of man, the same that was found in him when he was God’s covering angel. He was aware of man’s integrity, his dependency on his fleshly knowledge of sensory perception, his egoism, pride, self exaltations) ignorance’s all because of having the same seed of inequity that was found in him when he was God’s covering angel. Add to this world’s religious piety, political culture of legalism, all contributing to take away the key of true knowledge. This condition has not changed to this day but has worsened. I knew that I could not write or say anything that God had not already and thoroughly explained in His Word. I asked myself often, why I am doing this. I can’t add anything to what is already written but the Holy Spirit said “yes, but my children need the Key”. Many have become victims of Satan’s evil spirit and need enlightening and can relate to your stories and be able to apply their Grace given authority to overcome the now powerless adversary. I still questioned my Lord, “why me?” He told me that He chooses whosoever He wills to be His servants, and I heard Him say, “He will perfect that which concerns me and that I should forsake not the works of my own hands”. That finally did it and I stopped asking why me? I guess that I may be one of those, “whosoever’s”. He then reminded me that I should not think too highly of myself, but grow in Grace and in the ‘knowledge’ of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I was recently invited to attend the largest gathering of professional literary individuals, and organizations in the USA. It is known as; Book Expo America”, and is held in New York City once annually. This resulted in me understanding the magnitude of the power of the written word to influence millions of co-inhabitants of this world, and could provide me a platform from which to re-lay God’s revealed truths, and with the direct help of God’s Holy Spirit I obey, and from this day forward will put in writing God's messages for you so that you can choose wisely.

SERVANT OF GOD
THE VALUE OF KNOWING HIM
AND BEING ABLE TO REPRESENTING HIM IN THIS WORLD
I write this letter after much thought in meditation with prayer. I want all to know that this letter will be posted on my blog web site; “Franklin Murdock’s Books & Christian Missions”.
Although this is a personal letter to a friend, I want to share the message it contains with all that view it, and I pray it will stimulate a desire within them to seek for the absolute truth. I will not reveal the name of my friend, but if you should get a copy of it, you will know his name.
To:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Dear Sir,
I thank you for your gracious e-mail message in which you stated that I have been a positive Influence on you. However, since I have had the fortune and pleasure to become acquainted with you, I recognize the magnitude of the responsibilities being senior vice president of human resources for such a large corporation of 647 different senior living communities in the United States that have a total of 47,000 associates and over 65,000 residents, and providing them all loving care by enriching their ebbing life with compassion, respect, excellence and integrity.
Trying to apprehend what you must face every day dealing with the vast variances of physical and mental problems you and your associates do, I am humbled, and greatly influenced. The exceedingly great and wondrous love that I have personally received from God and from your subordinates during the last five years surpasses all natural understanding, and yet I am still apprehending all that God has for me.
You, sir, and your dedicated associates may not be consciously aware that each of you has an opportunity every day to represent God in a very special way. Representing Him as His ambassador fulfilling God’s will of compassionate care for the elderly as their journey through the maze of this world nears their personal omega. I call your attention to a truth. I would like you to know, I did not choose God, He chose me just as He did Abraham a liar, or Moses a murderer, Joseph a lonely prisoner, David, a murderer and adulterer, they did not earn by their own sufficiency their positions, nor did all other saints.
These last five plus years have been a learning experience of spiritual growth, and human carnal nature, including mine, and then letting God form and shape me to be His servant in harmony with the Spiritual world of His Kingdom. I am confident that you too have experienced a like happening, or we could not have the camaraderie we do have.
God, through His anointing power of Jesus, instructed us to seek first His Kingdom, and to be transformed from this world to thatKingdom. This we have done by the renewing of our mind, and when we did, all else was given us. That Kingdom is real, and we witness to its reality. It is within the sufficiency of each born again believer to lay hold of it, for it is not hidden in a strange place, but to all who have received the precious gift of the Holy Spirit. However, being a resident of one of your communities, I have come to understand because of believing and following some religiously established customs and traditions, there is evidence of bigotry among the family of residants. This attitude prevailing in some of the precious people who are now my family, hinder their ability to envision the magnitude of the best which God has in store for them, and is yet to come. It hinders Gods manifestation of His Grace during their carnal living.
The greatest gift that any person can give themselves is to study diligently the word of God to apprehend, and understand divine truth, and the awesome power of His anointing and resurrection of our Jesus to enable Him to guide us to develop a very intimate fellowship with Him where He can reveal all truths that really sets us free from any self imposed, or Satan influenced hindrances. For by studying the Word of God, not just the verses of the Bible, you begin to hear Him talk to you through His Word. (John 8:47)
I am declaring this as an open letter so as to share it with as many that follow my blog or that whomever you, or I choose to share it with.
Sincerely your brother in Christ Jesus, and admiring friend;

BEING ASSURED
BEING ASSURED OF SALVATIONAuthored by the Holy Ghost. and penned by Holy men of God, and delineated in His Holy Word, the Bible
Jesus is the faithful and true witness, who gives us the reliable truth that we must have in order to find life and live life as God intends. Faith and trust in Him develops in our lives, but not as a result of a personal effort to learn it, but is a gift for our diligently seeking His Kingdom. Jesus is the author and the finisher of our faith as we see His faithful and true character. His word is a vital part of this process, since it has the same character that He has. When we first received the word of God, and believed, and trusted Him to do all that He says He will do, it changed our lives. This is how we started out with God: This is when we were born again, and given true life, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible seed, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, because, as He declares: “All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls away, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” Now this is the word which by the gospel, the written word of God recorded in His scripture; we have divinely had the knowledge of Jesus revealed to us, and we experienced the heavenly birth of our spirit. (Given true life, born again) Then by believing, and trusting Jesus, and by faith in this truth we were adopted into the family of God in conjunction with the incorruptible, living, eternal word of God being planted like a seed into our lives. However, we must realize that getting born again is not something that we do, for we cannot by ourselves gain this wondrous status, nor is it just to miss hell, or just to receive favor from God. Our purpose now must be to please God, and to enhance our personal relation and fellowship with Him, and to be ready to lay down our lives in order to assist Him as His co-laborer, or co-worker during His purpose in the fulfillment of His plan to annihilate all evil and reestablish His relationship with man. To be His special possessions in the earth and to do whatever He tells us to do. Our top priority is to give ourselves to Him and to live in communion with Him. To spend enough time with Him that we can hear His voice and respond in obedience.
This occurred when we began to study that very intimate letter addressed to each of us from our heavenly daddy, the Bible, and we heard the good news, the gospel. We then believed the good news of Jesus Christ, and this seed germinated within us unto life eternal.After being born again by grace through faith in Christ, God's plan was that we continue to respond to His word, For this reason we should also thank God without ceasing, because when we first received the word of God, we welcomed it, not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in all who believe, and our names are recorded in the holy book of life. However, I have to alert you that it is possible through allowing what the unsaved masses of this carnal world portrays as practical to loose your salvation.. This can happen because as we begin to receive knowledge of God, and of Jesus, we are constantly being attacked by our adversary to influence us to value more the things we are familiar with in this world than the unknown truth of God’s domain. We are warned by the word of God not to deviate from our course of restoring our relationship with God, which was lost when Adam failed to obey the commandment of God not to eat the fruit from the tree of knowledge. All of the unredeemed, as well as all of their cultural networks, are under the influence of the evil one. We are vulnerable to this same fate by carelessly casting away, our confidence in the truth of His word, and promises because we allow the carnality of this world infiltrate our mind and thus, our heart.
There is also another way, and we all should be aware of it, and knowledgeable of just how it can happen, and then experience our names being blotted out of the book of Life. I have been told of a man who is a medical doctor, and was believed to be a dedicated believer who when he went to India on a mission of mercy, was so influenced by the extent of poverty, and suffering of malnutrition, he could not fathom there being a God of love, and compassion that would allow this condition to exist. He from that experience has denied there ever being a God as defined in the Gospels and fell away from God’s truth. The writer that penned God’s words in the book of Hebrews recorded these words: “It is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, if they should fall away, to renew them again unto repentance.” That means to restore, and to regain their salvation.
I implore you not to merely read the stories of the Bible, but to study the words and expect the Holy Spirit, the author of these words to reveal to you the concealed message they contain, and open your understanding. The Bible is the most majestically engineered, and integrated intimate message from our daddy, that merely reading the words can leave you as ignorant of the true knowledge of God and Jesus as you were before, even if you have confessed Jesus as your Lord, and received His redemption from all your inequities.
I implore you to set aside all your personal experiences wherein you seemed to be tried, and possibly viciously attacked by our adversary to sway you away from the truth. Remember, Jesus is the only faithful and true witness for the validity of God’s word that made it possible that we become heavenly knowledgeable, and our faith in our promised destiny for eternity. There is so much more that God has made available through His blessings He wants you to enjoy during this mortal life, but the real thing is the exceedingly great and wondrous life for all of us in eternity. For the best is yet to come.

LIVING or DEAD
EXTRA-EXTRA
NEWS BULLETIN
YOU CAN TAKE IT WITH YOU!
In truth, you are going to take it with you like it or not, but what is meant by “IT”, that you are taking, it is everything you possess other the material things that you have gained as yours in this world, and in either a selfish way, or in an unselfish sharing way that you laud, and may honestly, but mistakenly feel is in consonance with the will of our Father because of distorted, or limited teaching. It is what you have chosen between Blessings and life, or curses and death. To explain, let us review just what life is, and what death is. Question, how is it possible to define death in a world where there is no death, which is in God’s domain, but everlasting life, or is it possible? Has it happened? What happened to God’s anointed cherub who was His covering angel. It is penned by the profit Ezekiel in chapter 28just how he transformed himself from having life to being lifeless by exalting himself, and thus permanently being separated from God. That did happen, and in all places, it happened in heaven. Therefore existing without life, he becomes the author of all evil, and curses. In Deuteronomy 30:19 Moses penned what God instructed him to write describing the issue before each of us where God proclaimed He set before us individually the alternative between two choices with no compromises. One meant we would establish a oneness with Him and have a life everlasting filled with all the blessings that He has established for His children, or two, we would choose an existence without Him for eternity, and suffer the consequences of all the curses that would befall us. This exemplifies the truth that life without God is death even if we function as a live man, and that life cannot be described as the period of time between womb, and grave, but first knows that God created man in His exact image after His likeness. That means man was, and is today created as a spirit having eternal life, but when Adam disobeyed God and did eat the forbidden fruit he changed the whole scenario, and God majestically formulated and put into action a plan to re-establish that lost companionship, and intimate fellowship with man.
That verse 19 of chapter 30, emprises that we cannot serve two different masters simultaneously, or serve God and mammon (meaning wealth) too. Making this choice, which we must, realize that it does encompass much more than carelessly mouthing agreement to choose with a haphazard manner life, and then continuing to live as if we are the masters of our soul, and disregard having to pay any attention to His commandments, ordinances, precepts, and instructions. A good example of this is Jonah who disobeyed God when he tried to avoid a commandment. The blessings alluded to in that verse 19 not only pertains to our period of time living in this carnal environment of this world, but are ment to be eternal. They are delineated in Deuteronomy 28: verses 1through 14, and are contingent upon our obedience to Him.
The curses that will befall us should we choose not to accept God’s offer, and end up choosing death, or permanent separation from Him are delineated in verses 15 through 68 of that same chapter 28. Diligently seeking truth I must implore you to heed all God’s instructions, and not falsely assume you need not rightly respond to such details.
I earlier stated that this pertains to our mortal life, and it does, but it refers to the omega of that magnificent wondrous will of God for our final inheritance, the best that is coming, the age of eternity with our heavenly father and family. It is our promised inheritance, and is our hope of all Glory.
We are instructed by his word to study to make us acceptable unto God, then to rightly divide the word of truth. In that vein I ask you to privately examine your status as it relates to this issue. Are you alive, or are you among the walking dead?

Know Me
BECOMING KNOWLEDGABLE I CHOSE TO -FOLLOW HIM
One day some time ago I while I was in meditation, I being is the spirit, entered into my Father’s throne room to offer Him and Jesus my prayer of, praise, thanksgiving, and worship. While I was in this state of prayer this is what manifested. Jesus brought to my mind how He selected the twelve men to relinquish all that they had, and to follow Him. I responded by asking Him to accept me, and teach me to be a like follower. Since I had lived a lifetime, and been widowed three times, my primary purpose for living had become a desire to gain the knowledge of God and Jesus, and if that meant to be His servant, so be it. I proclaimed that I was not desirous to be just a mimic of them he had chosen, or a master quarterback of any team, or to be recognized for more than being your servant. I had no desire to gain accolades for self, but to become a learner, a student, and have you teach me in all the ways of our Father, and reveal the amazing truths pertaining to the life of promise. It was then told me that all that I ask will be as I stated. He then informed me that the world system in which I live is corrupt, and He does not expect me to have to battle through all the maze of deception alone, but to trust Him, and He will bring me through to His predicted end.
I am not so old not to realize to follow Him I need to know Him intimately, and to know Him in this way or manner means that I must submerge myself in the word provided by the Holy Spirit, which I did, and I do continually. It is the inerrant, uncompromising word that was made flesh to live among us. It is the scriptures recorded in the Bible. This word is alive, and is Life, it is Jesus. As I make this word the foundation of my abode, He reveals all truths, His nature, the purpose, and will of our Father unto me.
I have responded, and found His Sabbatical Rest with serene peace having the assurance that I have overcome this world being one in Jesus, and I want to share this, that all my friends might be encouraged to first seek His Glorious Kingdom, and find the gift of real life, along with full redemption from the blight of sin we were all recipients of through our inheritance from Adam.

I had no desire to gain accolades for self, but to become a learner, a student, and have you teach me in all the ways of our Father, and reveal the amazing truths pertaining to the life of promise. It was then told me that all that I ask will be as I stated. He then informed me that the world system in which I live is corrupt, and He does not expect me to have to battle through all the maze of deception alone, but to trust Him, and He will bring me through to His predicted end.
I am not so old not to realize to follow Him I need to know Him intimately, and to know Him in this way or manner means that I must submerge myself in the word provided by the Holy Spirit, which I did, and I do continually. It is the inerrant, uncompromising word that was made flesh to live among us. It is the scriptures recorded in the Bible. This word is alive, and is Life, it is Jesus. As I make this word the foundation of my abode, He reveals all truths, His nature, the purpose, and will of our Father unto me.
I have responded, and found His Sabbatical Rest with serene peace having the assurance that I have overcome this world being one in Jesus, and I want to share this, that all my friends might be encouraged to first seek His Glorious Kingdom, and find the gift of real life, along with full redemption from the blight of sin we were all recipients of through our inheritance from Adam.

MOVING ON FAITH
CHOOSE LIFE TODAY
Can you imagine living comfortably, being married, having parents, siblings and friends, and seemingly getting along in this world just fine. Maybe that describes you today although you may be struggling to make ends meet while coping with everyday issues, and just imagine quite suddenly the Spirit of our God pays you a visit. He makes himself known and then proceeds to tell you must make a drastic change in your life, and living habits: Remove yourself from the very country you call home, and from all family members including your father’s house, and go into territory of this earth that I will lead you to, and show it unto you. This happened to a you man about 350 years after the flood in Noah’s time, and his name was Abram, later changed to Abraham. He obeyed God, and we have the relationship with our Lord today because he believed and trusted God. This depicts a challenge which is before all of us this day, and we all individually must choose to obey or deny God’s instructions to be able to overcome Satan’s evil influence in our mortal life.
The following is from a daily devotion I receive from the Kenneth Copeland ministries which I recognize as applicable to this profound message:
Have you ever been afraid to give yourself totally to the Lord because you think you might be deprived of some pleasure in this life? Chances are, you have. That's because Satan is working overtime to convince you that he can really make your life worth living. But don't believe him for a minute. The real truth is, yielding completely to the Lord won't cost you anything that's worth having. It will only cause you to live life to its fullest! Jesus' life on earth was a perfect example of a totally yielded life. He was a walking example of the benefits godly living brings. Everywhere He went, Jesus made the deaf to hear, the blind to see, the lame to walk, fulfilling the will of our Father toward His created man. He lived in perfect peace and absolute victory. This all sounds pretty good to me. All He missed out on was the devil getting dominion over Him to kill, steal and destroy. In fact, the devil couldn't do anything to Him until, by the Father's will, He laid down His life. Until that time Jesus walked in total victory over the enemy. Do you think you would miss out on a lot if you lived that way? Of course not! You can walk in that same anointing and power and glory of God that Jesus did. Do you have to give up your whole life to do it? Yes! You have to trade your carnality of life for the life of God. You have to trade your sickness for His healing, your poverty for His prosperity, your anxiety for His peace, your sin for His righteousness. So why hesitate? When it gets right down to it, you really have nothing to lose except the miseries of mortal life.

DELUSIONAL
Before reading this posting read 2Thessalonians 2:7 thru12
BEING MADE DELUSIONAL
It was only about 100 years ago that we would occasionally hear, “EXTRA! EXTRA! REAS ALL LABOUT IT”, as the News paper street vendors would call out as breaking news became available. There was no other way as television had not been invented, and radio was very limited to wireless telegraphy, transistors, microcircuit, computers, and satellites or the internet were beyond comprehension. There were no telephones for they were not yet widely available for domestic service, for telephone service was in its infancy. Just think, there was no radio, no TV, no telephone service and probably most incomprehensible, no cell phones. The only means information was distributed was by word of mouth, or by letter, or news papers.
Seriously I believe that we have already entered into the period described as the last of days, or end of this world which will mark the return of our Lord Jesus to set-up His everlasting kingdom on this planet earth. We should be aware of every troubling, and seemingly innocent changes as they are occurring concerning our survival, for it is predicted that perilous times will begin occurring at a increasing rate during this period of time.
So be alert and prepared for these changes. The vanity of this world’s apparent technical advancement that have been gained in communications, education concerning celestial and terrestrial knowledge has resulted in the vanity of human behavior fed byIgnorance of knowledge of the nature, and character of God, and the soundless news media. There news broadcasts are mostly commentators view tempered with their own opinions without foundation resulting in their listeners believing in something that is contrary to reality, sometimes having a deep deceptive motive. This is evident in the dishonorable behavior of the political arena where selfish erroneous claims are depicted every day. In addition to this there has been an increasing satanic influence that has infiltrated not only governments with anti believers wanting to abolish our countries constitution, and Christian founded religious dogmas, and right from the church sanctuary many accursed ministers are teaching false doctrine that compromises the true word of the gospel of our Lord Jesus. In 1945 four leading nations of theis world founded the, United Nations to provide a platform upon which international court of justice with the participation of other member nations would be able to maintain total peace and harmony among all nations and territories on the face of the world, and thus eliminate forever any discord among nations. The fundamental purpose was admirable, but today its actions are anything but for the rogue nations have apparently taken control.
This all works to condition, or program our minds to be submissive to the deceptive lie, of a power seeking political figure that will sometime in the not so distant future be indentified and will trigger a period of great misery and distress over all the world as God finally executes judgment upon all mankind who have refused to obey His commandments, His ordinances , to apply His precepts, and refuse His Grace as did the people of Noah’s time when He will again pour out on all the world His final wrath predicted known as the tribulation.
Yet before the predicted time of the occurrence of the beginning of this agony, there will happen a super natural manifestation of the pouring out for all living souls God’s final act of His Grace. His making available for all to receive His Holy Spirit by calling on the name of Jesus to save them, and by doing so, will be spared from having to endure the terrible wrath of God, and the period of tribulation, for the integrity of Jesus is faithful to His word to come and receive all that have called His name for salvation, and believing in your hart for Him to do what He has proclaimed, and do not doubt, He will do everything that He has promised He would do.
The issue before you this day is, ‘when’ , and is it too late? The answer is no, it is not too late, but you do not have the luxury of time as I did. All the signs Jesus predicted to precede the initiation of this momentous change have occurred except the rapture, and the exposure of the anti Christ, therefore the beginning of the end can begin at any time that He chooses. With that said, take heed and prepare yourself to meet your God, Jesus face to face in the not too distant future.
