Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. You know, God wants each of us to come to Him with a teachable spirit, eager to be changed. Are you eager to be changed? We need a closer walk with God each day. We must put God 1st each day. If we will do that He will continue to give us a newness each day, each week, each year we cry out to Him. We should not cling to our old ways as we step into a new day or a New Year. Instead we need to seek God’s face with an open mind and an open spirit knowing that our journey with God involves being transformed and being renewed of our minds.
As you focus your thoughts on God, beware that God is fully attentive. God sees each one of us with a steady eye. Because God’s attention span is infinite. God knows and understands each one of us completely. God’s thoughts and embraces are everlasting love to each one of us. God has a purpose and God has a plan for each one of us. It’s a plan to prosper, not to harm. But we must take up our cross daily and follow Jesus! We must put God 1st each day! God has a plan to give us a hope and a future. If we will put God 1st in everything we say and do, God will increase us, He will bless us, He will prosper us, He will bless us beyond anything we could ever hope or imagine. Ephesians 3: 20 Says; Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. The power is in each one of us to do just exactly that, if we put God first in everything we do! God bless each and everyone of you and remember our 3 Fold Cord Conference is the last weekend in June each year. This years dates are June 27.28.29 and many of your favorite artist will be here. We have already got our speakers lined up and lots of Christian artist will be here again this year. I will be fasting and praying the whole month of February for Our President, Our Country, Lonesome Road Ministries and all the Churches and Ministries that we partner with. Also each and everyone of you who partner with us to get the Gospel message in the hands of family, friends & neighbors. This is our prayer for each and every one of you as we march off into 2025. We are praying that God will bless you more than you ever thought or dreamed possible. God will bless you in your finances, your health and everything you do for His kingdom. In Matthew 6:33 Jesus tells us, “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. If we put God 1st He will honor our efforts and our prayers. May you all be blessed & highly favored in 2025 as we walk through these open doors that God is opening for His chosen people, those who are willing to put God 1st.

We have for you this month, "Broken By Sin,” it’s our 2nd CD/Podcast from our 2024 3 Fold Cord Conference. Richard Coss always does a great job of sharing testimonies and great messages at our conference, and yes he will be with us in 2025. Broken By Sin, yes we all are, but we don’t have to stay broken. We can have Victory over Sin. You might ask, can we really have Victory over Sin? Yes it begins with understanding that Jesus took our shame to the cross and paid our penalty. We have to confess our Sin to God! Does that mean we have to tell everyone all the bad things we have done? “No”! It means we have to humble our hearts before God, and truly ask God to forgive us of all our sins. (He already knows all the things we have done.) When we repent and do that, we need to turn away from the wrong and choose to do right. Confronting guilt in this way, replaces the weight of shame in our heart with peace and joy, and an amazing side effect is that we have wisdom to share. We have a testimony we can share with others! We can be open about our past mistakes. When we lay our Sin at the feet of Jesus it allows us the forgiveness of our Savior Jesus Christ. We can reveal the Lord to those we come in contact with, family, friends, and whosoever by living our lives for Him. Through our testimonies and witness, God will reach others who need their guilt chains broken. We have a place for you to share your testimony and get it recorded so that you can witness to your family and friends no matter where they are. How, you ask? We want to partner with you to help you become all that God has called you to do. We want to help you become that witness by sharing your testimony or the testimony of others with those you come in contact with. God has opened a huge door for us here at Lonesome Road Ministries to not only stretch this Net…Work across America, but to go into all the world via Radio and TV programs. Let us send you CD’S/Podcast cards to share with OTHERS! If you are reading this newsletter you have already decided to be part of the Lonesome Road Family. God is opening a door for you to go to the next level! I remember back in 2007 when God woke me up in the middle of the night and sent me to my Bible and had me open up the Scriptures to Revelation 3:8. Here is what I read, I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. From that day on Lonesome Road Ministries went to a new level. God opened a door for me to take my little tape and CD ministry to levels I never could have dreamed or imagined. All I had to do was have faith that God was the one speaking to me and to walk through the door that He had showed me! God told me that morning, He was going to make me an Oilfield Chaplain! I had never heard of such a thing and I googled it and could not find any Oil Field Chaplains, but I decided to take a step of faith and walk through the door God was opening for me. When I did God opened up so many opportunities, the small ministry I had, exploded into a huge ministry. God is opening a huge door for all of us to go to the next level and reach more people than we could ever imagine. The only one who can shut the door God is opening is you! Join with us and let’s work together! Let’s go into all the world!!! ![]() God has opened another door for Lonesome Road Ministries!

Certainly there are times we need to glance down to check gauges and make minor driving adjustments, but if we take our eyes off the road for an extended time we are sure to have an accident. As Christians, God has commissioned us with a higher purpose for life with wonderful results that continue into eternity. We accomplish that purpose by keeping our eyes on Christ and our Heavenly destination. But as with driving, our attention must be divided between watching the road and watching our gauges. We all need to attend to the things of this life, like obtaining food, clothing and shelter for ourselves and family. A problem arises when we are overly distracted by the details of life and get our eyes on attaining wealth, success and such. Ironically, we can quickly lose focus of God in our drive to secure comfort. When our eyes are off our eternal destination, it should come of no surprise when our spiritual life comes to an abrupt stop. In eternity, if God asks why our spiritual-life crashed and brought no glory to Him, it will be embarrassing to admit we took our eyes off the Christian objective because we were too focused on personal objectives or texting the mundane things of this life. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 New Stream for WPILFM Radio!Click here to listen!John 1:5: "And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son."Lonesome Road Ministries would like to wish each and everyone of you a Merry, Merry Christmas.

We all like to be invited to a party or a celebration. It is a time to put aside our cares to honour someone or something special in our lives. Whether it is a birthday, a wedding, an anniversary or simply a get-together, we plan to have a good time. In our quest to make merry, we avoid rude and depressing people and seek the ‘life of the party’ where people are joyful and carefree. Naturally, we want to celebrate with those who are celebrating. God is hosting an event called, ‘Time’. He has called us to be the ‘life of the party’ and rejoice in whatever circumstances we find ourselves. He has arranged the catering, brought the gifts and paid the costs. All we need do is choose to attend. Even in our darkest hours we should turn on the lights (remember God’s grace and provision) and celebrate. God understands that every party has broken glasses (tragedies), but He has said He will pick up the pieces and clean up the mess (if we let Him). God has taken away all our excuses for being miserable. He commanded us to cast our cares and worries on Him and celebrate as if every day is Christmas (because it is). God has asked just one thing. When people pass by and see us celebrating, we should invite them in saying, ‘The Host welcomes all guests – there’s no charge, the bill has been paid – walk through the “Door of Christ” and give your cares and worries to the Host.’ (Psalms 13:5-6) We are excited about the doors God continues to open for us here at Lonesome Road Ministres.
