The Movie Gone Girl and The Women on Death Row.

 

gone

Recently, I decided to check out the movie “Gone Girl.”  On that day, I ate out at the notorious Black Finn Diner and instead of letting the day end, I choose to read the movie reviews and then decided to go to see Gone Girl.

The movie was about a girl  raised and sheltered by her parents. A girl who lived a privileged life and nurtured to become a writer. She became known as AMAZING AMY because of her creative ability to write stories and publish books

It does matter whether you are privileged or indigent; Your parents can plant the seeds for instability and mental illness or they can foster your creativity and it makes no difference whether you are rich or poor. The fact that you may be a rich girl with a trust fund does not exempt you; it does not make for a trouble free life. Before Gone Girl marries she had a psycho history of traumatizing, jolting, manipulating and sexually exploiting her lovers. At one point, she has even accused her lover of rape and caused him to be institutionalized for mental illness.

In the movie, Gone Girl marries an ordinary man, a literary person like herself who ends up losing his job and buying a Bar with his sister. Later after finding out that her husband is having an affair; Gone Girl disappears, staging her death and leaving clues that imply that her husband is responsible for her disappearance. Desperate for revenge Gone Girl plots her disappearance leaving a crime scene, befriending and manipulating neighbors so she would have an alibi. As craftily as one would write a Stephen King novel, Gone Girl fiends her disappearance. The unwitting parents come forth to talk to the media about their Amazing Amy”s disappearance. Oh it gets deep.

The husband is numb; He doesn’t know what to make of it– it”s the anniversary of his wedding. He is jaded. Not only has he fallen out of love with his wife but he has a secret girlfriend and now he’s the one everyone is thinking that’s responsible that Gone girl is missing,  I don’t want to disclose the ending but Gone Girl wins. She is a master manipulator. The person who wrote this movie is speaking to deceit on the highest level.

I know you are wondering by now, how all this correlates to the women in death row. Unlike Gone Girl women on death row have  themselves been the subject of manipulation and exploitation by others. They are most often themselves  victims of deceit and deception, sometimes with childhood origins. I know you are probably saying no you got it reversed the women on death row  are exactly like Gone Girl— only they got caught. While Amazing Amy was faking her death, she returned to the lover she institutionalized for raping her in the past. He is now rich but he still loves her despite what she has done. Gone Girl kills the old lover in a vicious premeditated attack and resurfaces as though He was the one holding her hostage all the time, returning to her husband.

What is  amazing about Amy is that there are many amazing Amy’s walking around in our society. They are psychological damaged sociopaths and culprits that prey upon the lives of the unsuspecting and they are not behind bars but are walking around free as a bird. They have somehow slipped through the system escaping therapy and are definitely in need of deliverance. I left the movie house with a greater awareness that their is little demarcation between the women behind bars for the crimes they committed and the sociopathological warfare that is be perpetrated  on those who are unsuspecting and ignorant of the devices of Satan. Thus I stay on the wall praying for the women on death row, all the ones that got caught up in Gone Girl webs.
2Corinthians 2:11

…in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.

This message is to be shared with the world and was sent to Praying Without Ceasing: Prison Ministry for Women on Death Row for transcription, by Tiffany Cole- a woman of Florida’s death row. She asked me to include the music video of  ‘Love him Like I Do’ by  Deitrick Hadden/ Reuben Studdard & Mary Mary and  asked that the music video be viewed before reading her message.
God’s Grace Transforms Us” by Tiffany Cole
Scripture: ” Since you are precious and honored in my sight, and because I love you…” Isaiah  43:4 (NIV)
Would you agree with me that more Christians today know more about the Ten Commandments than about the new covenant of God’s unmerited favor? For that matter, if you walked down Times Square in New York City and started to interview people at random, they would have most probably have heard about the Ten Commandments but, know nothing about the New Covenant  of Grace that came by Jesus Christ. In fact, the world identifies Christianity with the Ten commandments. Isn’t it sad that the world knows us by the laws that are obsolete and not by the unmerited favor that Christ died to give us? It is no wonder we are losing a whole generation  of young people to the world. The law holds no appeal or attraction and the Bible calls the law obsolete (Hebrews 8:13). If we continue shoving the Ten Commandments down the throats of our young people; don’t be surprised when they are turned off by legalistic forms of Christianity. More importantly, don’t forget that the strength of sin is the law. The law has no power to stop sin. The law will not impart to them their precious identity in Christ, which will give them the strength to abstain from premarital  sex. It won’t prevent them from getting into drug abuse and  stop them from losing their sexual identity. Only God’s own sacrifice on the cross can give them a new identity  as a new creation in Christ Jesus! Young people, when you catch a revelation of Jesus and just how precious you are in his sight, your lives will be supernaturally transformed. You’ll stop being harassed by suicidal thoughts. You will stop wanting to put yourself at risk to “fit in” or to get the attention you crave. Young ladies, you will come to see and value yourself differently as you learn to value yourself in the same way that Jesus values you.  Overflowing with Jesus ‘s perfect love for and acceptance for you— you will not  be under the illusion that you need to give your bodies away to find acceptance and love from some guy. You will love yourselves as Jesus loves you! Young men. you will develop supernatural self control to manage your raging hormones. You will not do  it by your own willpower, but  through Jesus power flowing through you. You will learn how to flee youthful lusts. You will know that being 😎 means respecting the opposite sex, and not putting yourselves and your girlfriends at risk of contracting S T D’s and having unwanted pregnancies. Young people, when you know that Jesus has an awesome destiny laid out for you, the desire to be involved in gangs and destructive activities  such as, alcohol, drug abuse, and  promiscuity will dissipate in Jesus unmerited favor and love for you. Supernaturally, your desire for the things of the world will disappear as they get replaced with a desire for Jesus.. That is the power of God’s grace (unmerited favor) and His unconditional acceptance of us through the cross. What the law could not do, God did for us by sending His own son Jesus Christ! Prayer: “Father, I thank you that I am a new creation in Christ Jesus. All My sins have been forgiven. You remember them no more and see me righteous in Christ. I thank you that I am precious in your sight, deeply loved by you and that you have an awesome destiny for me.” Thought For Today: I am deeply loved by God, precious  in His sight, with an awesome destiny to fulfill!

So What’s all this Praying for the Women on Death Row Really About?

Picture

Intercessor Abu

In February of 2013, I was diagnosed with Metastatic stage 4 breast cancer.  Any one who knows anything about Cancer knows that stage 4 is the last and final stage. When you have stage 4 cancer it is the most advanced stage of Cancer there is.  In fact, I was diagnosed on my birthday and the devil laughed at me as I made my wait back home after hearing the doctor’s decree. When the doctor shared the diagnosis his next question was who in the family do you want me to tell?  I refused to have– that– to think about and I flatly told him that there was none in my family that i wanted to disclose this information to— I left mad at myself;  I was mad because all the long God had been speaking to me., first in a dream and then in pain.  He even sent a stranger to ask me whether or not I had cancer.  The dream was startling and I actually went to my Pastor for clarity and  ended up getting a reprimand. Why was it that I am dreaming that I have cancer? What kind of devilish dream is that! There it was— I was placed on death row !

What do you do when you are on death row?  Where do you turn?  Who do you call on?  For me, from the very moment I heard this confirmed, I heard the voice of the Holy Spirit and If I never listened to Him before, I could never ever lose direction again –not ever.  His voice is the most important voice that anyone would ever want to hear and when you hear it you must ALWAYS follow  His leading.   I had ignored the dream, rebuked the stranger, my pastor didn’t have the insight and what was I to do? Know this and never forget it– your trials, your tribulations and your troubles elevate you. It is the three “T”‘s that are taking you somewhere–to your deliverance, to  your healing,  to your anointing,  to your breakthrough,  and to your next level;  no pain –no gain. There is never ever a new level without trouble. What are we to do? The bible says in Romans’ 12 v 12 –Be rejoicing in your hope. Bear your afflictions bravely. Be persistent in prayer. And yes, the bible gives many versions to this very powerful word.

 

But I had to do something more— I was hearing but I was not receiving. We must receive. My faith needed to be built up. My Church helped me in that area—every time the prayer warrior pastors called me, they encouraged me . They stood on the promises that God would be faithful to heal me and that I must cast all my cares on Him. . Do you know what casting ALL YOUR CARES ON HIM MEANS? It means totally trusting in Him.  It means total reliance;  It means not looking to the left or to the right but resting in Him, His word, and in His divine intervention. But it also means to CONFESS healing scriptures daily, relentlessly and to cast down all negative thoughts and I don’t care if the doctor is diagnosing. Let every man be a liar and God be true.

 

God is so amazing, God is so full of promises and they are always all yes and amen. The bible says God is not a man that He would lie. Numbers 23 v 19 CSB  says God is not a man who lies, or a son of man who changes His mind. Does He speak and not act, or promise and not fulfill?  Well, we are a year and some months from the time that I have been diagnosed and  my recent Cat Scan and Bone Scan show no evidence of Cancer.  Now God is to be GLORIFIED! He is to be praised in the congregation of men.

 

What an awesome testimony.  God is a MIRACLE WORKING GOD and as I live to glorify his name  and tell others of his greatness, I want to tell you that He took me off of a spiritual death row. He took me off so that I would pray for those on women who are on a physical death row.  What have I learned in the process is that God’s ways are not our ways nor are His thoughts our thoughts — He is no respecter of persons.  Psalm 50 v 15 says  NiV  ” And call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me.”  I am here to testify that after God brings you out like He brought out Mary Magdalene with those seven demons and the women by the well with those six husbands. He will bring you out of your mess so that you will serve him, honor him and praise him all your days and you will finally know that there is nothing or no one that deserves your attention more than God, no one more important, or more valuable than your relationship with Him.

 So if you are wondering why I am praying for the women on death row. I do so because I answered the call of Him when He whispered. I heard him when He spoke and because He is a prayer answering God, i surrender my life to Him.

I Loved that I shared His goodness and His mercy,

Brandy Holmes on Louisiana’s Death Row

130516105224-holmes-horizontal-gallery

 

Brandy Holmes is a women on Louisiana’s death row for the 2003 killing of a minister.  In the letter she wrote to me she  prayed that I am surrounded within the wings of angels.  Psalms 91:Verse 11 says- For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Brandy says she writes for Pastor  Beth’s Moore’s Newsletter. She is praying to get her death sentence reduced to a life sentence. Please help fund her account with a few dollars so she can purchase envelopes, stamps and pad paper as she has no family concerned about her well being.

Brandy A. Holmes #417162
Leo Blue c/B #421 D.R.
P.O. Box 26 LCFW
St. Gabriel, LA 70776

In the Bible we read about the Jabaz a son birthed to a woman. She names him “pain”  after conceiving him in pain. He is a man with a pitiful past and no hope for a future. He is a man who struggles to find meaning and significance in life. He is a man who is desperate to be accepted by his fellow man. But most of all, he is a man who craves a relationship with God. Brandy like Jabaz, was named by a mother who loved to drink Brandy. Her mother an alcoholic conceived Brandy in sickness. Brandy was born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome and her mother was proud to name her Brandy and thus she became a woman with a pitiful past..

In the Bible, we find The Prayer of Jabez 1 Chronicles 4 v 9-10
9 Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother named him Jabez saying, “Because I bore him with pain.” 10 Now Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, “Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and that You would keep me from harm that it may not pain me!” And God granted him what he requested.  Lets pray for Brandy that the hand of the Lord might be with her and that He will keep her from harm. Let’s pray for God to bless her and have mercy on her soul. She has confessed being a Christian and we are  praying for a reversal of  every curse on her life. Thee God of redemption can and will make her a blessing. He is the God of breakthroughs.

 

On my facebook page you will see The Assumption of the Virgin by Francesco Botticini from he National Gallery London, which shows three hierarchies and nine orders of angels, each with different characteristics. I am asking the Lord to dispatch  ministering angels to address every situation concerning Brandy.

Francesco_Botticini_-_The_Assumption_of_the_Virgin

Francesco_botticini_-_the_assumption_of_the_virgin.jpg

I am decreeing  Acts 5:19 – But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said… and the angel of the Lord will say concerning Brandy, that he is the God of second chances and if she comes to Him repenting and believing that he will surely address her case. I am telling the devil to take your hands off of Brandy Holmes, she has claimed Christ as her Lord and Savior. She has been redeemed. And the Lord says in  Matthew 4:11 – Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him. Lord please send your angels to minister to Brandy because we at Praying Without Ceasing and others who are reading this blog will not cease to cry out against injustices. Yes, it is wrong to murder, but it is also wrong to murder to prove that murdering is wrong. Lord, I am praying Psalms 34:7  Lord, let —- The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

Colossians 1:16 says16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: Heavenly father we are asking you to send angels from the throne realm as  hey are living symbols of your justice and authority. According to the New Testament, these high celestial beings are among those Orders at  the service of Chris, since t Thrones are known in scripture as the bringers of justice Lord we are Asking, Seeking and Knocking on behalf of Brandy Holmes on Louisiana’s death row. Lord visit her and let her know all is well.

Tiffany Cole- Her Heart Moves Forward into Lovelier Things

6992667214_c4124418e4

Tiffany Cole is on death row in Florida.  As an intercessor for Praying Without Ceasing: Prison Ministry for  Women on Death Row I am honored to have been given the privilege to even receive anything that she write to me. We  often make the mistake of drawing conclusions and making presumptions about the women on death row. The name Tiffany comes from the word epiphany, the day when  the Thee kings first saw the Christ child. The name means the manifestation  of God. One would hardly think that a manifestation from God would come from inside prison walls but it can surprise you.

This very week I received a letter from Tiffany; when I opened it, I almost couldn’t contain myself. The greeting said “Happy Resurrection Day.” Here it is that I am outreaching to the women on death row with the assumption that they are far removed from a relationship with the king and I am awed by and embarrassed by the manifestation of God. I should of been the one sending out  Happy Resurrection cards but I was the one receiving such. I am humbled.  This is a lesson to everyone who thinks they are wise, the bible says, where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty and that liberty is well beyond our limited views and expectations.

In every letter Tiffany has written thus far, she mentions her love for Jesus and for Bible reading and prayer. She also prays in the heavenly language  and it is good news to learn that she has been baptized with the fire of God from on high. Just the thought of this is truly amazing. John 17:3  says And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.My Pastor Dr. Olapade Oyagunwa preached on this scripture recently. It is marvelous to learn that knowing the one and one true God  Jesus Christ  will give you eternal life  and there is no prerequisite. When you KNOW Jesus Christ as the only one true God you are guaranteed eternal life.

The Bible  is filled with detailed accounts of many sinners besides Adam and Eve. Some of these sinners were priests,  others were leaders and others were kings. All of those who committed crimes during biblical times were definite candidates for today’s death row. Jesus made a habit of hanging out with  sinners. He choose Matthew a tax collector to be a disciple and to top that off He went to dinner at Matthews house and ate with more tax collectors. The conversation would be incomplete if I  leave out David the giant slayer who killed Goliath. He was a King who killed on of his mighty men ruthlessly by sending him to the front lines of a war. He did so after lusting for and fornicating with the mans wife. Not only was King David a fornicating adulterer but he was a plotting, scheming murderer, who God called a man after His own heart. Next. we have  Saul who Jesus blinded on the road to Damascus, he was guilty persecuting and murdering Christians. Saul who later was converted renamed Paul, used to drag people out of their homes and throw them in prison. God’s ways are not our ways, He’s the one that changes hearts and we know  and should believe this: saying of Paul himself : “Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners–of whom I am the worst.” 1 Timothy 1:15
Let me end with this.. Mark 2 16-17

When the scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they said to His disciples, “Why is He eating and drinking with tax collectors and sinners?” 17And hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Keep Tiffany Ann Cole on Florida’s death row in your prayers.

Generated Curses that Carry over

rock

Exodus 34:6-7 (NIV) And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation.”

 

Just like physical buildings, the totality of our lives and destinies is being built day by day by our actions and inaction and also by the actions and inaction of those who have generated you. Wisdom requires therefore that we pay great attention to the foundations upon which we build our lives and destinies, especially what transitions from one generation to the next—because there is a carryover

oil

Kings 4 v 1-7 Provides us with a POWERFUL  story about the wife of a dead Prophet who tells Prophet Elisha that her two sons will be taken as bond servants to satisfy a debt that her dead husband owed. Think about this —Here is a case where the children of the debtor would be required to be slaves to pay the price for something they had no knowledge of and had no responsible for— they needed a miracle. (read the story of the widow’s oil below).

This is the case for many of the women on death row. Many have inherited a faulty foundation from those who have generated them and stand in need of a prophetic miracle.  There may be forces at work in there lives that have their origins in previous generations. The bible says If the foundation is destroyed what can the righteous do? If the foundation of the life of a man is faulty, it is unlikely that he would live a fulfilled life let alone finding and fulfilling the purpose of God.

I pray right now that God sends a miracle to the foundation of every woman on death row. Many have been systematically victimized and suffer from a lifetime of molestation, incest, sexual abuse and domestic violence. Several have been slaves victims of people who dominated them and cause them to commit crimes. I am praying that every generated cursed carried over through blood lines, family curses and abuse be cancelled now in the name of Jesus. I am praying for  Elisha’s to rise up to come  to their aid. I pray for a prophetic miracle and an end to the death penalty in the mighty name of Jesus.

2 Kings 4 : 1-7

The wife of a man from the company of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord. But now his creditor is coming to take my two boys as his slaves.”Elisha replied to her, “How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” “Your servant has nothing there at all,” she said, “except a small jar of olive oil.”Elisha said, “Go around and ask all your neighbors for empty jars. Don’t ask for just a few. Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is filled, put it to one side.”She left him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept pouring. When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another one.”But he replied, “There is not a jar left.” Then the oil stopped flowing.She went and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left.”

The women on death row are an ignored and forgotten group. You cannot find a dated collective listing for the women on death row group on-line. These are lists but they are outdated or incomplete. The list that i created was  painstakingly made through a tedious process of checking and cross checking death row inmate locator’s through out America’s death row prisons. This is very telling; I assure you that they have been forsaken, forgotten and ignored. Suzanne Basso (below) was the last female to be executed on America’s death row.  On February 5th, 2014, she became the 14th women killed on Texas death row.

Death by lethal injection was her punishment for allegedly masterminding the torture and brutal murder of a mentally impaired man. It was said that Basso lured the man from New Jersey to Texas under the pretense of wanting to marry him. Soon after signing up to receive his social security benefits, it is claimed that Basso had an army of people torture and torment the man to death.

My question is why did Suzanne Basso go to her death in a wheel chair? The truth is she was a vegetable paralyzed  from her waist down, according to news reports.  I wonder, since she did not enter prison with any paralysis, why  it is reported  that Basso became paralyzed while she was imprisoned, at the hand of a jail guard. If a prisoner comes into institutions to get a beat down by those whose job it is to administer justice- what’s the point of capital punishment? If by the time the inmate is to be executed, they are paralyzed and mentally impaired, what will be accomplished by killing them? It is totally inhumane, repulsive and inherently wicked to think that someone who came into the prison system whole, left it suffering, bruised, and broken. Know that every spirit of infirmity was  upon them when they were ordered to be killed on death row. Think about it, no compassion, no forgiveness, and no mercy; just murder for murder, and then we do it grossly through lethal injection.  Ponder, the  many innocent lives have been taken  because we feel that this is a humane practice and an effective response to attain justice.

The lives of the women on death row can be redeemed.  Jesus says…even if a mother forgets her child, I will never forget you. (Isaiah 49:15b) . His love for them is unconditional. I want the women on death row to know that nothing can desperate them from His love for them.

God’s Everlasting Love is describe in Romans 8:31-39

31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”[a]37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

If the women on death row will turn to Jesus He can and will raise them up.

Teresa Lewis was executed on  Virginia death row despite thousands of appeals to save her was a good example of someone who Christ redeemed.  Here are her last words:“Man wants me to die, but I’m not worrying over this, I’m trusting Jesus,” she wrote. She urged the prisoners to turn to Jesus promising, “He will forgive you of all your sins and He will bring you into His loving arms.”

The thief on the cross said “Remember me!” there was no time for service….baptism….just a moment for the “Do not pass me by” Gentle Savior. You have been called to a painful….troubling…disturbing ministry…it is a great gift and blessing for you…to be counted worthy…to have a love for others….to care for them through their darkest days…..for this…..you have been spared! I feel this so strongly in my spirit~~all of life is fleeting….the stays of executions may be few and far between, if at all…..but the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord is precious and priceless. Thinking of Carla Faye Tucker…..Sam Burkowitz (Son of Sam)….Carla’s life was not spared, but God gave her a voice and a ministry…..Sam is still a voice in the wilderness. Perhaps if these had never entered the prison system….they never would have received Christ…..Perhaps this is what it took for God to reach them….and in His Great Mercy he touches them and draws them to Himself. You probably realize that we don’t agree on everything in regards to the death penalty…..but we do agree that God loves each of these women….He would have gone to the Cross for them alone….He wants them to be clean…washed in the Blood of the Lamb…He wants to restore them and call them His own….He careth for them….He careth for you….I pray he will make a way….for you….for these woman….for His ministry…all for His Honor and Glory~~~In Jesus Name…He is able to make all…all…ALL Grace abound!!! I love you Sister….you are in my prayers…Birthday Blessings…Many More….and Lots of Hugs!!

And how can anyone preach unless they are sent?

Romans 10 v. 15: And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the Word was God.

What a powerful word. Meditate on this scripture for a moment and then think and realize how profound it is to be sending the word. Yes, to be sending the word. This is exactly what I am doing. My mission is to send the Word(God) in the form of the scripture to the women on death row and when the word gets to them… The bible says that it will not return void.

Imagine God going some place and not accomplishing His purpose. Oh that’s impossible. Isaiah 55 v 11 says “so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” What is it that the word has come to do. Well, John 1 verse 14, we find out: The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. When you send the word of God somewhere, that is exactly, what it does. It becomes flesh and dwells! I am sending the word of God to dwell in the presence of the women on death row.

You may have  the thought in your mind right now that they have the bible, they can read the word. Yes, that may be true. Nevertheless, the bible says in Psalms 107 v 19-21 “Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses. 20He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destruction’s. 21Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving-kindness, And for His wonders to the sons of men!” God’s practice is to SEND HIS WORD!

In fact, there is a story in the bible about a Centurion leader seeking healing from Jesus for one of his men. He comes to Jesus and says that he is a man of authority in such that commands an army of men. He further elaborates that whatever he tells them to do they do, and wherever he tells them to go that is where they go. One of his soldiers is on his sick bed and He is seeking  healing from Jesus and the fact that he is not requiring that Jesus go anywhere and is only requesting that He sends the word. Matthew 8:8 gives us the account “The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.” Jesus responds to the Centurion by commending him for such great faith, one that is rarely exhibited. Jesus then heals the solider.

Today I am prayerfully mailing my first batch of letters and scripture cards to the several of the 50 odd women on death row because the word will bring about conviction. Hebrews  4 verse 12 says. “For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing even to the point of dividing soul from spirit, and joints from marrow; it is able to judge the desires and thoughts of the heart.”
