Gerry Gutierrez' Update
Have A Happy Easter All The Year Long Please. Dear Friends April 1, 2018 Georgia, This is not funny any more! For ten years I have been tying to communicate my findings on
prayer with you, but the harder I try the slower it has become. As the Amish
saying goes, "The hurries I go the "behinder"
I get". I am beginning to wonder if there is more to it than what I have
come to find out. Perhaps others better than I should take this noble task. This time it feels like I have been shot down in mid air again.
There is nothing wrong with my wings as I test them once in the ground except
that some feathers are missing. For a moment I thought my powder was wet. But
other carrying eyes and words from as far as Tacoma say that there is nothing
wrong with the powder. It is consuming me as it did to Jesus when he visited
his Fathers House and saw how far they were from being a House of Prayer. I have thought of fumbling the ball and let others like my
daughter Keila run the ball to the goal line, but just
as the winds were behind her back and about to get a real good job, she died
last February. She sure bought the Idea that Power rests in Faith as equal to
Prayer according to the Will and Word of God. Keila
made out of her life "a Prayer" and truly died in alignment with God. Several times in the last ten years I was at the threshold of
going all the way with this life long project of selling prayer as
"IT" and everything else part of "IT". You have to remember that my grandmother taught me to speak
since age one by repeating after her the Lord's prayer so I do not
stuttering as some people in my generation. Though literally I Prayed the
Lord’s Prayer all of my life, I could not understand Prayer as I have come to
know and understand it through seventy years. On the other hand, I had a violent and ungodly past that
disqualified me to speak on such a holy matters as prayer. But It became hard
to accept my new understanding of prayer due to its incredible beauty that I
made more possessive that I would hold on to it for dear life. The existence of God in Jesus with the help of the Holy Spirit
was easier for me to accept that the "Mystery of Prayer". It took the death of my wife to refresh my covenant with God on
Prayer. I had no one to embarrass anymore as even my kids left me in an empty
nest and finally the freedom of retirement came as a gift of God so I can soar
as high as I could and do the desires of my heart without fear of anyone
looking over my shoulder. As someone said, I use to be paid to be good but
now in retirement “I am good for nothing” and I love it. I was not about to
give God that which cost me nothing. Then again; other forces beyond my control came to
"Torpedo" my several times my little ship that life become an endless
efforts to keep the boat blotting with the little energy left in my old
self. The words of my wife last to me before her death were; "Now you will have
more time for your Lord papa". “Go after prayer". The Last words of my beloved Mentor Doug Coe were, "Stop making
excuses Gerry and publish your book on Prayer". "I have edited and I
am sending it back for you to meet you dead line”. “I think it is great!" The literal last words of my daughter just hours before she died
were, “Call the family
Dad and seek agreement in prayer with them according the will of God and ask
God them in the name of Jesus for complete health". The only thing near
and dear to my heart I had manage to teach her with all my strength and that
was what she was demanding from me that last night. Since then I have been focusing in a fresh way on the matter of
Prayer every day after the funeral of Keila my
daughter. Even so I did not make it to my dead line today. I need more
prayers to make it do my best to make it less gibberish or tautological. I cannot renounce it for anything in the World. I have recently
heard the definition of Servant that I found appealing and it also describes
me. A servant is not one who is told what to do but one who knows he has to do
it because if he does not do it, no one will do it. Jesus was the servant of the Lord. No one could do his job. Even
Jesus told Peter that, "When you were young you use to do whatever you
wanted to do and go where ever you wanted to go, but when you are old, you will
be taken where you don't want to go and do what you do not want to do".
Our manner of death has been predestined that we and no other
will do what we ought to do and go where we do not want to go but must go. The simple rational is that Young people even though full of
vigor, youth and strength, do not have the wisdom and vision of old people so
they will leave things undone and old people will do it because it need to be
done and a servant is needed for that task by vocation and nature. Option and Choice are but myths where there is a Sovereign God
who is the blessed controller of all things who by securing through
predestination before the foundation of the world is Lord of all. Patience, compassion and prayers are what your favorite
Gobbledygook need at this time. Have a Happy Easter all the year long please. Gerry
