INTRODUCTION TO THE FREE INCARCERATED MAN

 

Here you sit in prison.
And yet there is hope! God and His family love you, pray for you, and fight the devil for you. Yes, God is real. The devil is real. For those of you who are not in Christ, for those of you who are not free and joyful, I urge you to learn to discern God from the devil, precision from error, truth from lies, and light from darkness and begin to grow to cherish now and forevermore a love for God and man—and yes, even yourself. This is a love that will set you free even now, even where you are-—sitting in prison.

 

If you already were a Christian before this incarceration, perhaps you made a choice so terrible you absolutely deserved to be restricted where you are so you are not able to hurt others. Or, perhaps you are truly innocent of the crime you have been incarcerated for This book still can benefit you. It can remind you of the many promises of the holy Scriptures, which are fully exposed for you here, not just referenced. You too need to calm down, still your heart, breathe deeply, and celebrate the notion that the one whom the Son sets free is free indeed!

 

(Note: Even sinners may be innocent of the crime they are accused of. Be assured that God knows.)

 

As you study to show yourself approved as the Bible directs you, you can either learn or refresh yourself that John the Revelator is adamantly and uncompromisingly correct:

 

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

 

However, take warning. Your life now and your life after your physical death are always your choice—with or without God:

 

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (John 3:36)

 

If you seek peace, if you want love, and if you are ready to truly embrace repentance, you will be able to attain honesty and truth that nothing else is able to give you. I encourage you to take this working journey now: a journey on the right path-—a journey that can refresh your soul and make you whole:

 

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.  (Matthew 7:13-14)

 

The Lord Most High wants everyone to love Him and serve Him willingly, surrender to Him once and for all, forsaking the god of this world, the devil, who is indeed Satan. You, yourself, must choose to continually forsake a perishing lifestyle. And as you do, you will gratefully hunger and thirst for righteousness unceasingly!

 

Beloved, truth is not a thing. No, truth is a person. Truth is the person of Jesus Christ—Him hated by many, doubted by others, flogged, spit upon, and murdered in the most heinous way. Yet He lives! And is loved by all who willingly embrace this truth:

 

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (Revelation 12:11)

 

For the Lord Most High is awesome, the great King over all the earth. (Psalm 47:2 NIV)

 

I am telling you: He had a plan for your life and He still does!

 

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.  (Jeremiah 29:11)

 

Beloved of God and His Church, know that you who did the crime are without excuse. That thing that for which you were sentenced is inexcusable. But is it forgivable? Yes, it is!

 

Selah!
