Firstly,i want to thank you very much, bro JIM, for the great things that God is using you to do in the lives of the men in jail. I want to tell you that you may not be an idol in the world sense or a Hollywood star but to us who were in jail you will always remain special to us. As i sat in the jail for 5 months i learn a lot about the operation of Gods gift through the Holy Spirit in my life and in the life of other men. I had the opportunity to talk to several guys of different ages, race, social status (i.e. poor or rich) and came to one point that everybody need the touch of God in his life. I met a lot of guys who are genuinely born again(believers) but i found out that they need the touch of God just as the murderers and thieves. What do i mean by that? I went to jail not as a visitor or pastor or a jail officer but as a fellow inmate. I learned from jail that in whatever circumstance you find yourself in if only you will avail yourself to God, HE will use you. In jail you will learn and understand that the people in this world are not interested in nice cloth, flashy cars, nice house and apartment and huge money although they were all once craving for them but rather a touch of God to bring rest to their burden souls. I witnessed young guys who thought having a lot of girlfriends and partying every weekend was what fun and happiness is, whiles i fellowshiped with men of 40 years and above who once paid attention to money and nothing else. What about those who thought of playing smart on everybody and the other group who sell drugs and use them on themselves to to take away pain from their soul. All these groups of people came to one point that they need GOD rather than gold, dope, girls and what have you. We do not need any special training to be able to bring the touch of God in their lives, only if we will avail yourself and walk in faith, the Holy spirit will counsel them through you. What benefit will you also get from that? You will understand the wisdom of GOD as you observed GOD in his creation. I say do not seek for spiritual gifts but rather let the gift of God flow through you. The scripture says it is more blessing to give than to receive. Since we have received much from our local churches, let’s in turn go out to give since to him much is given, much is expected from him. As for me i will always pray that God will give me more opportunities to preach the gospel in boldness to everyman at everywhere for this is the power of God unto salvation. AMEN

Jim, the more I read your writings the more in tune I see that we are. You have learned so much from life. I am so grateful that you are talking about the intimacy of God changing our lives. I’ve tried to bring that across for a long time also. If we as his people don’t catch the simple fact that our closeness to Jesus is the only way that we can change our lives, how can we expect someone who doesn’t have a clue to hear it from us.
