Lisa Ann Coleman 38, has been on Texas death row in Gatesville since June 2006. She was convicted in the starvation death of a 9-year-old boy a decade ago. In April of 2014, her execution date was set for September 17, 2014. Lisa Ann Coleman has written me several letters from her death row cell in Gatesville, . She expressed to me that her brother was murdered, her own son is imprisoned and her mother is suffering from many infirmities. Time is drawing near to Lisa’s execution date but she still remains hopeful, despite this verdict, she believes that her life is “in His hands,” and has began to pray and call on Jesus Christ. Lisa’s life is a “novel”, according to her she was a product of incest, neglected by her mother, bounced through the foster care system and raped multiple times by an uncle. In an on-line interview, her mother said that Lisa chose the wrong friends. The truth was that Lisa didn’t have a chance, she was sexually abused and tormented as a child; she too was victimized by child abuse had under gone periods of time with out eating while she was young. As a child, Lisa was nicknamed “Pig” and this resulted in her being harassed, bullied and tormented by her schools mates– who used to make snorting sounds to tease her. By the age of 13, Lisa Ann Coleman was using marijuana, ecstasy and cocaine; held captive, and broken without a moral compass. Lisa never completed high school and dropped out in the tenth grade.
It is even reported that Lisa Ann Coleman was bi-polar. Bi polar is a mental illness, it is a borderline personality disorder. With all this in view, the state has decided to execute Lisa Ann Coleman. My question is : “What sense does it make since to kill someone who comes from this kind of bondage? Who says that a life for a life is justice? What ever happened to the Satanic devises that shaped and molded her life and values? How is it that the cursed are expected not to curse? As far as I can see , there is a cycle of abuse here, Are not the signs of a curse obvious to you?
The bible says in Psalm 11 v 3 says 3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? Spurgeon( a bible scholar) makes it plain. We are to reason decisively. He tells us that we are to assert all our trust in Jehovah God (which is what Lisa Ann Coleman has done) or else we will be flying like a frightened bird to the mountain whenever danger comes upon us. Here is the exact quote: “He will use such plausible logic, that unless we once for all assert our immovable trust in Jehovah, he will make us like the timid bird which flies to the mountain whenever danger presents itself.” (Spurgeon)Right now, Lisa Ann Coleman is leaning on the Lord and trusting in her new legal team to navigate the battle for her life and do extraordinary things, supernatural things before her execution date. When God is at the helm, nothing is impossible.
The Bible says this– and I am applying it to the death row process; “What I tell you in darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear proclaim on the housetops. Do not fear those that kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him that can kill both the body and the soul in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.: Matthew 10 v 27-29. I believe that Lisa Ann Coleman will be victorious irrespective of the outcome. Yes, as a intercessor, I will continue to be on the wall on her behalf. My church will cry out and call on the Lord to extend mercy. Our prayer is “Lord hem me in both behind and before and create within me cleanness and wholeness of heart that I may be Your servant to stand in the Gap for Lisa Ann Coleman and for the other women on death row.” We believe that when we pray, God does the impossible in situations in ways that we can never imagine. As intercessors, we are to cover the persons and situations in prayer: it is God’s job to convict and heal. The word of God says that He sought for someone to stand in the gap. Ezekiel 22 v 30 says “And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none;” and thus we are standing.
We are standing on faith that God will take control of this situation and every other regarding the women on death row, not only are we are praying without ceasing ; we have embraced Isaiah 62 v 6-7 which says ” I have set watchman on your walls, O Jerusalem who shall never hold their peace day or night. You will make mention of the Lord, do not keep silent and give Him, no rest till He establishes and till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.” Isaiah 62- 6-7. God hates injustice, “To crush underfoot all the prisoners of the earth, to deny a man justice in the presence of the Most High, to subvert a man in his lawsuit, the Lord does not approve”. Lamentations 3 v 34-35. It is our belief that God is definitely going to make changes on death row in 2014
Some of us may have the mistaken notion think that our sins are bigger than God’s grace and His blood, but the bibles says “But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”( Romans 5:20–21) The letters I have received from Lisa indicates that she has repented and embraced Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. The Lord is the Bishop of Lisa Ann Coleman’s soul. He is the Advocate with the Father, we trusting that in the end, in the allocation of time, that God will accomplish His will.
It is Isaiah 49v 25 that says, ” But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.” The good news is that if Lisa Ann Coleman has sincerely repented she been redeemed, even the generational curse upon her life will have been canceled by the blood of Jesus. Once you become a child of God, no longer will the sins of your forefathers cause curses to transfer into your life: (read) Jeremiah 31:29-30 Hallelujah! “Christ was made a curse, so we can be freed from the curses that sin (both our sins and those of our forefathers) has brought us. Galatians 3:13, “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:”
We have been gifted to do this,
in the mighty name of Jesus
