February, 2021
Dear One Loved by the LORD,
The month of February is known as the “Love” month. Aren’t you glad we have the “Love” of Jesus daily? It is so exciting that we can run to our secret place of prayer, and Jesus is always there to meet us.
May I take this time to share with you how much I appreciate your precious letters and offerings that support Forgiven TV? You express the love of Jesus to those in need; to those who are unable to be in church; to those who are disheartened, disappointed and discouraged with the “religious” world. God help us to be true to our Lord Jesus, God our Father and the Holy Spirit.
Because of your giving to Forgiven Church and Forgiven TV, and the godly knowledge and wisdom in money management God has given me, we are debt free. I truly stand on the Word – “Owe no man anything but to LOVE one another; for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.” (Rom 13:8)
Children of God, it is urgent we get out of debt. You see, God can bless what belongs to His children. My prayer for you is, “God, remember their giving, and multiply it –not 10%, not 50%, but give to each giver, 100% in health and finances.

Dear Faithful Helper who serves with me in the Lord’s work,
First, I want to say a big thank-you for supporting Forgiven TV which reaches across our America into numerous states, and around the world on Facebook. Because I love you and I am concerned about the many changes we are facing, I feel it is imperative we come together as God’s family, praying for each other. Our phones stay busy as we spend personal time with those who call.
People are hurting, lonely, fearful, and tormented by the enemy. These are responding to Forgiven TV broadcasts because their need for prayer is so great. And praying is one of our strong gifts at Forgiven ministries! Every Monday at 10:00 AM a group of seasoned and anointed prayer warriors gather to lift the requests before the Mercy Seat of our LORD. Rarely does this prayer group finish before 2:30 PM. How many other churches are you aware of where prayer is taken so seriously?
OUR friends are Crowns of Joy. We thank GOD over and over for the love He has given each of us for one another. And I praise the LORD for you, who through your relationship with the Holy Spirit strengthen, encourage and support the work that is so necessary in our world today!
Listen to Psalm 78:1-4 (NLT) as Asaph proclaims the heart and command of the LORD, “Oh my people, listen to my instructions. Open your ears to what I am saying… I will teach you hidden lessons from our past — stories we have heard and known, stories our ancestors handed down to us. We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the LORD, about HIS power and HIS mighty wonders.” PLEASE LISTEN UP DADS, MOMS and GRANDPARENTS!! It is expedient we reach our children, grandchildren!! “So the next generation might know them – even the children not yet born – and they in turn will teach their own children. So, each generation should set its hope anew on God, not forgetting HIS glorious miracles and obeying HIS COMMANDS.” (Ps 78:6-7, NLT)
The LORD commanded us to teach these instructions to our children. We must not hide these truths from our children! God is pouring HIMSELF into this generation! We saw only the outward appearance, but all the while GOD was working inwardly in them as we prayed, “GOD save our children.”
May this Thanksgiving season, bring great joy to you as you watch GOD work in the lives of your family, but please remember to declare HIS glorious deeds, power and mighty wonders to your family!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family,

Dear Friend,
The prophet Nathan came to tell David his sin was not hidden from the Lord. (2 Sam 12) God often uses pastors, evangelists, Sunday School teachers, parents, laymen and laywomen in the same way.
“God have mercy upon me. Wash me, purify me, blot out the stain of my sins. They haunt me.” (Taken from Ps 51)
When the LORD reveals our sin to us it is to set us free from it through our acknowledgement of it and repentance for it. But when the enemy tries to bring up our past accusing us, I remind the devil that was the old Velma and she is dead! Those past sins, are cast into dry places as far as the east is from the west – the precious blood of Jesus covers the pathway. Those sins cannot cross the BLOOD. Hallelujah!! Don’t allow that lying devil to torment you about the past.
We cry to God as David cried, “Remove the stain of guilt – Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy HOLY SPIRIT from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Forgive me… then I will sing joyfully of your forgiveness.” (Psalm 51:10-12, 14) God rebuild Your walls around me!
My precious friend, you and I know our world – our America is in great need – bent, broken. Never has America seen such tragedy – anger is raging. We, as God’s selected Christians must pray and preach the true Gospel in every nation across the world. Isaiah 8:11 declares, “The LORD has given me a strong warning not to think like others”… and remember, God is a God of revelation knowledge.
Children, saints of the most high God, we must not compare ourselves to others. God does not make clones… Did the church you attend make you a clone by emphasizing their doctrine instead of the whole word?

My Dear Friend,
O how God loves you! You’ve been tried, tested, bruised – BUT not broken. As the Song of Solomon (8:5) asks, “Who is this coming forth out of the wilderness…?” It is you!
You’ve been hurt and badly bruised, but God the healer is pouring the healing oil on all your wounds, and you are riding out of the wilderness on the wings of God’s love. An old song declares, “On the wings of a snow-white dove; He sends His pure sweet love; A sign from above, on the wings of a dove. When troubles surround us; when evils come; the body grows weak; the spirit grows numb. When these things beset us, He doesn't forget us; He sends down His love on the wings of a dove.” (Wings of a Dove lyrics © Husky Music, Inc, Larrick Music Co., Songwriter: Robert B. Ferguson)
Our precious Holy Spirit has redeemed your tears – your tears have become a rushing river, washing away all the pain. The enemy tried to destroy you – tried to drown you in sorrows, But you reached down deep within the heart of God and began calling upon our Lord to come rescue you and your precious family. David testifies, “The LORD rescues the godly; HE is their fortress in times of trouble, The LORD helps them, rescuing them from the wicked. HE saves them, and they find shelter in HIM.” (Ps 37:39-40) The special abilities of the Holy Spirit are upon you – and in you. This you know my dear friend, “no one can say Jesus is my Lord except by the Holy Spirit.” (1 Cor 12:3b)
Friends, I’ve preached this word in many, many parts of the world because people like you have financially supported these crusades. Why? Because we are in agreement – the same Holy Spirit in me is in you. God has called you and me and we’ve answered, “Yes, Lord, Yes!”
You, who are made whole by the love of God, healed by the stripes of Jesus and empowered by the HOLY SPIRIT, have been my transportation to the world! There are no words to adequately express my gratitude to you.
