September 1 to October 15, there were 117 Counseling Sessions

There were 117 hours of counseling scheduled between September 1 and October 15th in 16 states and internationally. Additionally, I was asked by one of our counselees to give testimony in a case involving her to the Orange County DA’s Office in California. There were also counseling sessions continuing with counselees in Canada, England, and Hungary.

As usual, most involved issues with biblical brokenheartedness (D.I.D.) as well as demonization issues. The Bible states that one of the reasons Jesus suffered, died, and rose again from the dead victorious was to “heal the brokenhearted.” And He absolutely does. Wish you could be here to witness the healing as He works.

Latest Book has Gone to the Publisher and I am awaiting the Proof Copy

The book is titled “Now and Beyond” and is a look at the current lukewarm Laodicean Church period and the future glory for the believer in Jesus Christ.

The book goes into the messages to the seven churches in Revelation 2-3 with special emphasis on the current final church period in which we are living, the Laodicean or lukewarm church. Then the sign of the return of Jesus and the rapture of the church as stated by Jesus Himself and the evidence of it right now in this present time. Remember that Jesus said that as it was in the days of Noah so shall it be before the coming of the Son of man. Then a section on the born-again believer’s eternal glorious future which include chapters on the heavenly thrones, the judgment seat of Christ, the marriage of the Lamb, the battle of Armageddon and the 1000-year kingdom reign of Jesus including the form & seat of government, the temple and its worship, the three people groups, and the seven new things as we move into eternity.

The book contains 98 pages and ends with an expository essay written by my granddaughter last year when she was in the seventh grade at a public school.

The title was “Why I live a life of faith and love” as she lives by the motto “make heaven crowded.” Evangelism is so important as we near the end of the final church period. Let’s all concentrate on what’s important in these last days, making heaven crowded and Bringing God Glory.

I received a shot in the right hip a couple weeks ago to relieve the pain and it seems to have had the desired effect. Diane saw one of her “favorite doctors,” the DENTIST for a routine checkup. I visited my orthopedic surgeon after the shot and he and I agreed for now just leave things be, no surgery. (sounds good to me!) Daughter Melissa will be having an 8-hour layover in Atlanta on her way to Central America in a few days and so we will be picking her up at the airport and taking the opportunity to spend some time visiting and catching up on family news. We have been invited to attend the Gideon dinner on the 22nd. They do a tremendous work in circulating Bible and New Testaments around the world. In fact, we have received New Testaments from the Gideons in Florida when we would go to Haiti to lead medical missions and preach evangelistic meetings in the evening. Fall is arriving and the accompanying cool weather and hopefully, a little snow as the winter progresses. Haven’t seen snow in about 4 years and I, emphasis “I” am missing some of it. Diane loves the warm weather and enjoys working in the yard with her flowers, and the hummingbirds. Oh, one final note, please be in prayer for a man being brought in from North Carolina on the 20th as I lead a team from our church in dealing with an evil spirit that is absolutely tormenting him.

God bless you all,

July 15 to Sept1, Counseling Increased once again from 113 to 126 Sessions

We had stated in the last newsletter that there were 113 hours of counseling scheduled between June 1st and July 15th in 12 states and internationally. To date it was then the highest number of appointments for a month and a half on record but this current period the number of sessions increased even more.

There were also counseling sessions continuing with counselees in Canada and Romania. Additionally, we began counseling with an individual in Essex, England.

As usual, most involved issues with biblical brokenheartedness (D.I.D.) as well as demonization issues. The Bible states that one of the reasons Jesus suffered, died, and rose again from the dead victorious was to “heal the brokenhearted.” And He absolutely does. Wish you could be here to witness the healing as He works.

Thursday Evening Bible Study on ZOOM has been Postponed

Last winter I conducted a Thursday evening Bible study via ZOOM which had individuals from the United States and Australia in attendance. There was no charge for the study which lasted for several months and was a study on what the future holds for the Christian as shown in the fabulous book of Revelation. So many believers want to know what the future holds for them, and as there is so much misunderstanding about the future, Revelation was the place to go to find peace and understanding and what the Lord’s plan is for us.

I now have the study in book form titled “A Study of the Book of Revelation with Relation to the Christian.” The manuscript is 138 pages long and should be published within the next few months. I was planning to begin the Thursday evening Bible study on ZOOM in September. However, counseling has increased significantly for right now and so I am going have to hold off beginning the study. As soon as I am able, I will begin the new study titled “A Study of Accurately Handling the Word of Truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15). The purpose of this series of studies is to confirm in the Faith those who may be questioning or desiring to strengthen their understanding of biblical truths and how to rightly divide the Word, and to instruct those who desire more clarity in the great cardinal doctrines of the Christian Faith in these final days of Apostacy.

Needless to say, it has been a busy six weeks here at home. The main office for the Center is located in one room of our house since nearly all sessions are national and international and are completed through ZOOM or SKYPE.

Scheduling can become a challenge at times as we are working with counselees in time zones around the world. I was asked to speak to a Church in Australia at their Wednesday evening service several months ago. To do that I had to be ready to speak on ZOOM by 6am on Wednesday as Melbourne is 13 hours ahead of us. We schedule everything based on our Eastern time. Zone.

Then there was the individual in Astonia which is located in northeastern Europe on the Russian border. I would work with this individual after he got off work at 9:00pm which was 3:00pm our time. He did not have internet so he would stand in the dark, heavy coat and hat, to protect against the cold, on the steps to the city library so as to have internet access.

When counseling an individual in North Vietnam I would be ready to begin counseling at 8:00am which was 8:00pm their time. That was the best time for her to do counseling based on her job and other issues.

Medically we are generally doing well although there are those aches and pains as we move along serving our Lord as best we can. I have another hip which is going to need replacing but for now they are going to do an injection in it using some type of x-ray to make sure they get the injection in the right place. Slowly becoming more bionic (don’t be jealous fellas). Already replaced are 2 knees, 1 hip, and 1 shoulder. I would think Diane would be impressed living with a bionic man but …….. Oh well!

We are going to be spending a few days at Julie’s house in Alabama to try to be helpful to her and the family there. I will take my computer and counselee files with me and set up shop in the bedroom at Julie’s as the counseling load continues.

One final note. We truly appreciate your prayers and financial support which helps us to continue to serve those who are hurting and in need. Regardless of their ability to pay for counseling we never refuse anyone due to their financial problems. This is only possible through your continued partnership with us.

God bless you all,

June 1 to July 15, Counseling Increased to 113 Sessions

There were 113 hours of counseling scheduled between June 1st and July 15th.. We thought the previous period from April 15th to June 1st was the highest number of appointments for a month and a half on record but then this period the number of sessions increased even more.

Counseling sessions were with counselees in 12 states, Canada and Romania. As usual, most involved issues with biblical brokenheartedness (D.I.D.) as well as demonization issues. The Bible states that one of the reasons Jesus suffered, died, and rose again from the dead victorious was to “heal the brokenhearted.” And He absolutely does. Wish you could be here to witness the healing as He works.

Here is a Statement on an Application Requesting Counseling Received a Couple Weeks Ago

“If my phone isn’t shut off by then… I am not doing well financially. Work was slow for months while trying to go to school and I got behind, extremely behind. I’m exhausted trying to get caught up while taking care of my children all by myself. I don’t have anyone. The stress is getting worse & way to overwhelming. It’s not good to be alone. Please help me.” We are working with this individual now via FACETIME at no cost thanks to our prayer and financial partners! Thank you!

It’s Official: The Center is now a PayPal Confirmed Charity

As you may know, the Center for Christian Counseling has been recognized by the IRS as a 501c3 non-profit organization since shortly after our inception back in 1997 in South Dakota. In fact, we are still listed as a South Dakota non-profit Corporation doing business now in Georgia and recognized by the state as a Foreign Corporation.

A week ago our charitable status was finally confirmed by PayPal which handles payments and donations made by Credit Card for us. By having been confirmed by them we will benefit from a discounted processing rate and a verified checkmark.

In addition to sending a check to the Center, Credit Card donations can be made by calling the Center or by going to our website (see above) and clicking on the PayPal donation button at the bottom of the homepage. Either way know that your financial assistance is greatly appreciated.

Prayer and Financial Partners

As always, a great big “THANK YOU.” Our ability to continue moving forward in ministry is possible thanks in large part to your continued prayers and financial support. You all have been such a great blessing through the years. One woman I am counseling with in Texas is homeless, has three small children, and is a victim of Sa￾tanic Ritual Abuse trauma. We do not refuse anyone due to inability to pay and thus your donations to the Center are vital to the ability to keep moving forward for the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We were invited by a couple friends, Jim & Pam from Florida, whom we have grown to love, to join them for a few days in a cabin in the North Carolina Mountains. We drove up to the cabin on Sunday. It was nestled in a dense wooded area and was teeming with deer.

On Monday we drove into Bryson City, NC and caught the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad train for a five-hour ride through the Nantahala Gorge. The train consisted of about 13 cars, of which we rode one that was open on the sides. Lunch was served on the train as well as drinks and snacks. It was a wonder day of lakes and mountain beauty and at the midpoint we had a one-hour layover right along the river. We went across a couple bridges over large lakes and at one point the train slowed to 5 mph in order to safely climb a steep grade.

Then on Tuesday we drove to Field of the Woods, a religious park which, among other sights, has a 300’ wide 10 Commandments on the side of a mountain with 326 steps in the middle going to the top. Both days and the fellowship with Jim & Pam was extremely interesting and enjoyable.

We truly serve an amazing Lord!

God bless you all,

Apr.15 to June 1, a Busy Period with Counseling Nationally & Internationally

There were 100 hours of counseling scheduled between April 15th and June 1st. This is probably the highest number of appointments for a month and a half period on record. Included was a 3 hour ZOOM session to assist a counselor in another state during one of his sessions with a heavily demonized individual.

There was also a six-hour session with a heavily demon￾ized individual who came to us from South Carolina. During this session there were three additional men who assisted in the session. One was a pastor from south of Atlanta who has worked with me before and two others from our church who were there for prayer and to help protect the individual
physically when the spirit was manifesting.

Counseling sessions were with counselees in 12 states, Hungary, Canada, and Romania. As usual, most involved issues with biblical brokenheartedness (D.I.D.) as well as
demonization issues.

I have been teaching a small international Bible study on Thursday evenings at 7:30 EST via ZOOM. We have just completed a 16-week study of the Book of Revelation and the very positive present and future aspects relating to Christians and the Church now through eternity. Attendees have included individuals from the U.S. and Australia.

New Bible Study on Thursday Evening via ZOOM to Begin September 8th at 7:30pm EST

This new Bible study titled “Handling Accurately the Word of Truth,” is based solely on the Scriptures, with quotes from the Scriptures being given for every state￾ment. The purpose of this series of presentations is to confirm in the Faith those who are wavering, and to instruct those who have not been clearly taught the great cardinal Doctrines of the Christian Faith in these final days of Apostasy and the Laodicean, lukewarm Church.

There is no charge or obligation to tune in to the study on ZOOM every week. Those interested, unless you have already been to a previous study, only need to send your name, e-mail, phone number, and the City and State or country in which you are located. You will then receive the ZOOM connect information by return e-mail. Use cfcc1945@gmail.com to contact us.

Included in the study are the following subjects:

• The Believer’s Position in Jesus
• The Church and the Kingdom
• Atonement and Redemption
• Election and the Free Will of Man
• Heaven and Hell
• Sin and Salvation
• The Resurrections
• The Spirit World
• Antichrist

Well, spring has sprung and everything has turned green. Spring is a beautiful time and Diane really desires to get out in the yard, work on flowers, and generally enjoy the warm weather.

The foot doctor has me on a cane whenever I am away from the house as my right foot, due to arthritis, has deformed from a size 13 to a size 11 and he is fearful a bone may break if I am not careful. That being said, I still am counseling full time as well as other activities as life goes on. My foot may be somewhat deformed and limiting me but my brain isn’t and so I am able to continue on in the ministry work the Lord has for me.

We had friends visiting for the weekend during May and it was a good time had by all while they were visiting from east Georgia. Then we traveled over to Talladega for a few days last week and visited Julie, Kory, and the grandchildren. I had 14 counseling sessions scheduled during that time so I took my files, computer, and a small folding table with me so that during the day I could be set up and work with individuals nationally and in Romania. Working online makes it possible to carry the office with me wherever we may go.

25 years ago, when we started the Center ministry in South Dakota I could not have believed that I could sit behind my desk and work with English speaking individu￾als around the world. In fact, last year I spoke to a church at their Wednesday Evening service in Australia via ZOOM which required that I be ready to go at 5:00am on Wednesday morning as it was 7:00pm Wednesday evening there, since they’re on the other side of the international dateline. Juggling time zones when scheduling can be interesting. Bye for now.

We truly serve an amazing Lord.

God bless you all,

Last 6 Weeks Continue to be Busy with Counseling Nationally & Internationally

There were 87 counseling appointments scheduled in the last seven weeks. Two were 2 hour ZOOM appointments to assist a counselor in another state during two of his sessions with a heavily demonized individual.

The counseling sessions were with counselees in 11 states, Hungary, Germany, and Romania. As usual, most involved issues with biblical brokenheartedness (D.I.D.) and demonization issues.

Counseling has Begin with a Counselee in the Country of Romania

As you may know, Romania is one of the countries on the western border of Ukraine. The counselee in Romania has four children, does some home schooling, and feels she is very busy. However, recently due to the war, she and her husband have also taken on 50 refugees from the Ukraine. She is feeling very overwhelmed at this time.

Please be in prayer for this couple, their children and the 50 refugees whom they are currently taking care of. Also be in prayer for the other counselees, both national and international that the Lord has directed to us for counseling.

Bible Study Thursday Evening
via ZOOM

I have been teaching a small international Bible study on Thursday evenings at 7:30 EST via ZOOM. We have just completed a 16 week study of the Book of Revelation and the very positive present and future aspects relating to Christians and the Church now through eternity. Attendees have included individuals from the U.S. and Australia.

Concerning the Book of Revelation, Jesus said in Chapter 1, verse 3,

“Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near.”

The Book of Revelation brings hope, peace and clarity for what lies ahead through eternity for the believer. It is truly amazing what God has in store for us.

My latest Book is Titled “A Study of the Book of Revelation in Relation to the Christian”

Chapters Include:

• Messages to the Seven Churches
• Heavenly Door Open & Heavenly Thrones
• Judgment Seat of Christ
• Marriage of the Lamb
• Battle of Armageddon
• The Kingdom Reign—Form and Seat of Gov’t.
• The Temple and It’s Worship
• The People Groups
• The Seven New Things.

It should be published and available through the Center within the next few months, if Jesus doesn’t return first.

Diane and I are doing well though not getting any younger. I’ll be looking at age 77 come June 2nd but the Lord continues to bless with clarity of mind so I am able to continue in ministry and the privilege of serving Him.

Diane is enjoying helping me as needed with the Center work, but also is excited that winter (cold) is now turning into spring (warm) which allows her to get back out in the yard and start enjoying planting flowers and prettying things up.

We are looking forward to Easter Sunday, when, after morning services, we will have some of the many children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren over for a meal and the afternoon. It’s always good to be with family and enjoy a happy day with them.

Grass is starting to grow, trees are starting to bud, and pollen is going wild. Blue car is now yellow, gray car is now yellow. No wonder it’s the favorite springtime color, I guess.

A few weeks ago Julie, Jackson, and Kye were in town for a couple days over the weekend and it was so joyful having them around.

We have Gary 10 minutes away and Julie about an hour and a half away, so we see them fairly often. But then Dennis, Amy, Angela, and Melissa and families we haven’t seen since we all got together renting a cabin in Tennessee over Thanksgiving. We miss them but keep up with what’s going on in their lives as best we can. God bless you all as we move forward into summer.

We truly serve an amazing Lord.

God bless you all,
