Hello!God love and bless all of you...that have come to read this true story...of a loving...blessed...true child of God..."Evanglist James Mitchell..."
This man of God came into my life... while I was setting up at that time...our Lord's chat room on "FireTalk..."And I was alone singing "Moses and the Lamb" and I heard this voice saying to me..."No one could know that song...unless they were set into the Father's ministry..."Well! That was the truth...as I had not ever heard that song sung by anyone...as I had received it...after I receivd Lord Christ Jesus...as my Personal Lord and Saviour...and it was in my spirit...and I sang it always alone...I didn't know what to think...and he just started to sing "Moses and the Lamb"...and I knew he was set into the same ministry of God...and that we were both in the same ministry of God's...and when the Lord's chat room was open...there was always a witness...
This man of God loved God more then life...and I met his family...Mom(Betty)
Son(Donny)and many children that were theirs and also adopted...and also I learned alot of about his Mother(Grandma)...Very best of friends...Brother Kevin...Sister Terri...Robbie...Jay...inwhich they were called son's...by Dad...Sister's Carlene...Darlene...Vicki...and myself...and we were called daughter's and we became one "Big Loving Family in God..."
Now Dad and his family live in Oklahoma...and Brother Kevin and Sister Terri...lived in another part of Oklahoma...However when the week-end rolled around...Dad and Grandma would get into their old car...and Grandma as old as she was...did all the driving...and once they got to Kevin and Terri's house...she would get onto that old piano...love and praise God with singing
and she was known to be...a devil stumping fire and hell preaching preacher...and when she got started the house would just jump up and down...Ha..Ha..just joking...!
In the Lord's chat room...all that was there...be they were lead by the Lord ..and the Holy Spirit...preach...teach...worship...pray...and sing...and there always were needs...and those needs were always taken up unto our Lord...As a point of contact...we would ask those that were asking for special needs...no matter what they were...to place their hands onto their monitors...as we did too...and we would beleive in our faith...those needs were met...and many of many lost souls were saved...
Now Dad was very ill even before I got to know him...and he had gotten so ill...Mom had no other choice...she put him into the nursing home...where she worked and she took his pc...with him...and would get him online into the Lord's chat room...Mant times after we would close the chat room down...Dad being the man of God that he was...would not let one lost soul...past up the way to salvation...and open up the chat room...and one could find him there many different times too!
Brother Kevin went to see Dad twice...and he did share with us his condition...The first time he went to see Dad...he share with us in the chat room...he's health was really serious...and no hope of recovering...and that his eyes soon would be gone too!
The second time he went to see Dad...he called me and with his coking up with tears...made my tears run very hard down my face...and we did try to comfort each other...He told me...Dad would not be too much longer...with us...and that he had already told both Mom and Kevin...when our Lord came to get him...and take im home...not to bury him...He wanted to be cremated and be thrown into the lake...where God has many of many times...used him to save lost souls...and right after services...Dad would take all those brand new..."Born-Again Christian's" and batized them...in that lake...inwhich was very close to Kevin's house...and the "House-Of-Worship...Dad's request was done...
We all still have Dad in our spirits and hearts...and we know he is in Heaven
with our Holy,Pure,Glorious,Adored,Worshiped Lord...Christ Jesus.And each and everyone of us...will truly see him...as we will Christ Jesus!
Be the Lord knows I can or can't cut down those pictures...for the whole world to see...what would be on Dad's spirit and heart...? Going about our Father's Business...and finding as many lost souls...His Holy Spirit will lead to us...or us to them...This is our Dad...Can any one of you say...other?
How many times...did we spend in a private chat room...listening to him teach us God's Word? How many of those pieces of teaching...do you Brothers still have in your pockets...as I have in my purse...and take out...and chew on them...to have God reveal to us ...what he did Dad...
Brother Donny...you are Dad's Son...Daughter Carlene...you are Dad's Daughter-in-law...and you too have Mom ...Brother Donny...Brother Kevin...Sister Terri how many times did they come to your home...to hear the " Written Word of God" about "His Living Word.? Grandma would get on to that old piano would sing...worshipping our Lord...until Heaven came down upon each and every one of you?How many times...did you see lost souls being saved,and baptized in that very lake...he wanted his ashes to be...with his many children...the Holy Spirit would lead to him...to be both saved and baptized...and they as we ...are Dad's children...None of you are being left out...
Brother Robbie...how sorry you felt you didn't go with Brother Kevin...to see Dad...It was meant to be that way...Sister Darlene...Oh!how much you loved Dad...in your own quite way...Sister Vicki...how she would love to sing and worship our Lord...and she has asked..."Can we have a sing and praising service for Dad?"
Oh! How Jay loved Dad...He would look for him all the time...Dad gave him that love of a Dad...and yes, Jay could and did feel Dad's love...and he loves and misses him as much as each and everyone does...Myself...our Lord knows...he is and was my only Dad,for Dad loved me as a his own daughter...and he was the only one...ever made me feel I was his daughter.
Every thing that has taken place...with Dad and Mom...was God's reasons and for His purpose...and always in the end...God wins,and so do we!
I can hear Dad saying"does it matter...what the whole world see our faces,or the souls of each and everyone of our eyes...for the eyes are windows of our souls...and see Christ Jesus...and not ourselves?"
This was what I beleived Dad was hoping for all of us...To totally give up self...and everything we had...and turned it over to our Lord...inwhom knows how it is to be used...in the first place...and it always belonged to Him...and we all know that...and is this not Dad? And did not Dad live his life this way?I have a peom that feels so much like Dad...
"Hebs.2:14 "That though death He might destroy him that had the power of death."
O child of God,death hath lost its sting,because th devil's power over it
is destroyed.Then cease to fear dying.Ask grace from God the Holy Spirit,that by an intimate knowledge and a firm beleif of thy Redeemer's death,thou mayst be strengthened for that dread hour.Living near the cross of Calvary thou mayst think of death with pleasure,and welcome it when it comes with intense delight.It is sweet to die in the Lord:it is a covenant-blessing to sleep in Christ Jesus.Death is no longer banishment,it is a return from exile,a going home to the many mansions where the loved ones already dwell.The distance between glorified spirits in heaven and militant saints on earth seems great;but it is not so.
We are far from home--a monent will bring us there.The sail is spread;the soul is launched upon the deep.How long will be its voyage?How many wearying winds must beat upon the sail ere it shall be reefed in port of peace?How long shall that soul be tossed upon the waves before it comes to that sea which knows no storms?Listen to the answer,"Absenbt from the body,present with the Lord."Yon ship has just departed,but it is already at its haven.It did but spread its sail and it was there.
Like that ship of old,upon the Lake of Galilee,a storm had tossed it,but Christ Jesus said"Peace be still,"and immediately it came to land.Think not that a long period intervenes between the instant of death and the eternity of glory.When the eyes close on this earth they open in heaven.The horses of fire are not an instant on the raod.Then,O child of God,what is there for thee to fear in death,seeing that through the death of thy Lord its curse and sting are destroyed?and now it is but a Jacob's ladder whose foot is in the dark grave,but its top reaches to glory everlasting...Amen...and amen...
Father,we that had the blessing of knowing such as man of You...I pray we will be what he so mightly...asked of You to teach us...by thy Holy Spirit...that we will know..."I'm with you always...as You,Father are with Christ Jesus!" Thank You,Father...for Your love for us...in Christ Jesus' Name...And thank You,Father...this is the way...I love this man of You,in Christ Jesus' Name...
I am hoping that each and every one of you...will in Dad's guestbook...share with so many others what your felt about Dad? What was there about Dad that you remember? What Dad did for you? What you mostly loved about him?Thank you...your Sister in Christ and apart of the family, of "Evanglist James Mitchell and Mom (Betty)."
