Gerry Gutierrez' Update



“Let us encourage each other a little.” “Life is a court case.”


 

A professional witness is there to testify.

 

Since I made my profession of faith in Jesus, I have become a witness of Jesus and as such I have been testifying of the love, grace and power of the name of Jesus from day one to this very moment – at 3:00 AM in the hospital in rehab offer a stroke. For some people, this might be seen as fanaticism, but to me I cannot but testify as witness of Jesus of his literal strength in me who is as weak as I have ever been in my life learning to stand and start to walk again.

 

Silence is not a luxury I can afford as soldier of Jesus., and I still have his strength reflected in the lucid mind that our Lord has graciously preserved in my body.; I refuse to wait until full recovery and “normal” life returns to me. I want the strength of the Lord to be made perfect in my weakness. To me, life is like prayer. I do not pray in order to live well but prayer is living well. In other words, I shall not pray in order to do the “work” but prayer is the work.

 

Sick or in good health I am of Jesus and belong to him and for me there is no one in this universe but Jesus “no one but beautiful Jesus.” I find no meaning in life apart from childlike belief in Jesus, and prayer in agreement with God under his revealed will according to scripture that is the only way to be in alignment with God and oneness with the Father in whom all things are yes and a prayer away in Jesus’ name. Though I write this letter with difficulty with only my right thumb, it is the joy of the Lord that is my strength “at the cool of the day” early in the morning.

 

Today it should not be an exception, even though recently a mean college professor cowardly and with numerical advantage bullied me in my own house telling me that, 

“You can talk all you want about Jesus until the cows come home, but we’re not going to believe in you.”

 

That day I felt like dying that I still remember not being able to write some words with my own hands because I was trembling in exasperation.

 

Though I am a soldier trained to fight I cannot fight “Civil wars or fight with women.” Shortly after that experience I stopped writing my books by hand completely and I have only written letters by computer.In fact I trace my “stroke” back to that day where for the first time in my life after coming to know Jesus I was terrorized to one inch of my life “alone” with no one beside to defend me, but Jesus to comfort me later.That experience was so brutal to me that I should have stopped testifying about Jesus and just waited in silence “until the cows come home” with the “gag order” imposed on me and honoring their wishes not to speak but one minute at the time per week.When my peace did not rest in that place where I was going, I left like shaking the dust of my feet.I have visited several other congregations looking for “room in the inn.”I found room and was seen as “as fresh meat” in those places and I was welcomed and treated well, but I have never felt like joining in oneness with such bodies for lack of agreement.I write this letter in the belief of “Jesus in me is still the only hope of glory” and I pray that no matter what your circumstances are,You might also want to know that you are where God wants you to be at this time and if your fellowship with Him has been disconnected, remember that your relationship with God through Jesus the head of the body has never and will never be severed because relationship is based on birth and rebirth, while communion or fellowship is based on behavior and circumstances.

 

Let us rehab together to complete reconciliation and be healthy again by the generous and gracious healer Jesus the Lord, the head of the body and therefore the mind of God for us.You might find very humiliating to start again doing things that a Toddler does masterfully, but it will be worth it to again be in sweet love and reconciliation with God and the other members of the body through Jesus the “Minister of reconciliation.”

 

Let God use our weakness today as only he knows how, as we testify of his love.Once again, when the fellowship of agreement with God is broken because of neglect, behavior or sin, the relationship is never severed because relationship is based on “birth” and once you are a “child of God”, you are always a child of God forever.As someone said, “Remember that God will never love you more or less than he already loves you today.” Remember also that you are created to be loved. Period.

 

A witness of Jesus has testified,
