WE CHRISTIANS CANNOT BE Christian if we don’t love and pray for the salvation of all men. It is God’s will that no one perish into the dark pit of Hell.
Selah.
Christians know we are saved by the grace of God: it is a gift to become a child of God. We receive salvation through belief in Jesus Christ as our one and only Lord and Savior.
Selah.
And as Christians: we know our roots. Adam is our first human father. All men have come through Adam. All the saints, prophets and heroes of The Old Testament are our heritage. We are Abraham’s seed and as such we love Adam, Abraham, Moses, Mary (the Jewish mother of our Lord) and every single Jewish man, woman and child. We love our enemies and pray for their repentance and salvation. To Hell with the devil (my former father!)
And I am telling you: God loves His Jewish people and He is on their side! Israel lives!
Heavenly Father,
I thank you for my brethren, Israel, whether they are Messianic Jews or Torah Jews. As You, Father, have taught me both are right! And all Israel shall be saved.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
I encourage every non-Jew to read The Scriptures and learn, if you don’t yet know, Israel is the apple of God’s eye!
Selah.
SCRIPTURAL TRUTHS FOR THIS JOY STORY:
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.
Acts 17:24-27
“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands.

Galatians 3:26-29
So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Growing up in a home without the love for God, an invalid father, heavy financial hardships, and tremendous (sometimes dangerous) discord is always difficult. Add on to that extreme shyness, a feeling of inferiority, and some may think this girl was rejected. But God’s hand was on her and His heart was for her. Today, Ann Marie Turner has performed many great services in Jesus’ name for the love of God and man; and for herself! She has ministered in the male correctional for over ten years. Along with this website, Ann is the author of Joy Stories, Volume One and The Free Incarcerated Man. Writing about the joy of the Lord and the victory that is available for a willing soul is one of Ann’s now greatest joys! Ann’s prayer for you is to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony. Celebrate the God of the Bible and your personal victories in Christ unceasingly! Revelation 12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
