I have been walking with the Lord for over 35 years. God has put me in people’s lives at the right time countless times that needed a word from God and prayer at that time. At the same time, God has delivered me of multiple sins and habits that were an abomination to Him and His Holiness. This did not start to happen until I gave my life to Christ in 1985. I was 25 years old. I was going to church all my life for 25 years, but the real supernatural interaction between Jesus and me did not start until I received Him into my life in my living room in 1985. Religions don’t save you. Direct relationship to Jesus through the Holy Spirit does, by receiving Him; by verbally asking Him into your heart of your own free will.

We all need to be cleansed of our sins before God and only He through Jesus can do it as we just submit to Jesus and give our lives to Him and confess our sin before Him we will be delivered of the bondage of it. No one go,s to Heaven filthy. Jesus must get you ready for eternity.

If you want your prayers listened to and answered it must go through Jesus to get to God.

If you want healing, it must go through Jesus to get to God.

If you want your habits and stong holds of sin broken, you must go through Jesus to get to God.

If you want to be saved and go to Heaven, you must go though Jesus to get to God.

Jesus blood shed for you cleanses your body inside and makes you suitable to inhabit The Holy Spirit that God works through. God will only inhabit clean vessels. You must receive Jesus to be clean so God can inhabit you.

God can heal anybody and has healed a lot of people of their physical problems who didn’t know God. But it is always for His glory and done for the person in order that after God has healed them, that they will give their hearts to His Son Jesus that God can have a relationship with you. What does it accomplish if God heals you out of your sickbed and you get out of bed and go about your own business and don’t give Him the glory and don’t turn to Jesus for salvation? God wants something too. He wants a relationship with you. He wants to pour His love on you and show you His goodness. He wants to show you how He has been lied about and how He really is.

If you refuse to have a relationship with God through His son, You don’t want Him as your King, you don’t want the salvation He offers then you are useless to Him and are cast into the Lake of fire. God is a relationship and wants fellowship. God loves people. [John 15:5,6] Jesus said,” I am the vine and you are the branches. He who abides in me and I in him bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.” HELL.

Her is a scripture for that. [Luke 17: 11,18]

“Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and galilee. Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him 10 who were lepers, who stood afar off. And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus Master have mercy on us!” So when He saw them He said to them, “Go show yourselves to the priests. ” And so it was that they went and they were cleansed.

And one of them when he saw that he was healed, returned with a loud voice and glorified God, and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.

Were there not 10 cleansed? But where are the 9? Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”

When God does an act like this of healing; it is His mercy and love but also for His glory and for those who see it, to repent and and turn to His Son so God can have a relationship with you. Jesus said, ” where are the 9? were there not 10 cleansed? but only 1 returns to Jesus to give God glory.

God had me lay hands on and pray for a man that was in a coma who was a bartender and didn’t know God. He was in a motorcycle wreck. No helmet. He was hooked up to all the life- saving equipment and was diagnosed to dye or stay in the coma. God told Me to go up there when I saw it in the newspaper. I was a rock and roll DJ years ago at a biker bar and Ed the guy in the coma was a bartender there. It took me 2 weeks to get up the nerve to go there. God kept on me about it daily. I had never done anything like that before but God was stretching my faith. I took a friend with me up to the hospital. They let us in with no problem.

We went in there and Ed was out!! No movement. We prayed in tongues over him and then quoted the healing scriptures over him and rebuked death. We have authority as God’s sons and daughters through Christ. Ed’s hand moved a little and we knew God was moving on Him. Ed’s flesh was damaged but his spirit was not, so I said to Ed, ” Ed, you’re coming out of that coma or something like that” Then I said out loud, “God we did what you asked and now He is all yours” and we left.

2 days later I called the hospital to see how Ed was doing. They told me he was 100% better and that he came out of the coma. I visited him a week later watching tv. He couldn’t talk but the tracheotomy was out of his throat. We hugged and he was so happy to see me. I believe God spared his life so that in the future he will repent and turn to Christ. If he does not ever repent and turn his life over to Christ, the act of mercy that God showed him will count against him at his judgment when he dyes and faces Jesus which we all have to do after death. Jesus wants to be our savior, not our judge. He would rather hand out rewards than cast a person in hell. We all must give an account of the things we were given in life to Jesus.

Here is the scripture for this. { JOHN 12:44,49] NKJ

“Jesus cried out and said, ” He who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent Me. [GOD]. And he who sees Me sees He who sent Me. I have come into as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness.”

“And if anyone hears My words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. He who rejects Me and does not receive My words has that which judges him. The word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day”.

If we look at a person who commits a crime. Lets say murder. The law clearly states that it is illegal to murder. So if some one chooses to commit murder, it is the law that judges him, not the judge himself. The judge that the murderer stands before is simply being the voice of the law, and hears the evidence of the defendant and then inforces the law as it is written.

If the man or woman did not commit the murder they are free because they are in agreement to the law. They see its wrong and do not commit murder. They are on the right side of the law. THEY ARE OBEDIENT TO IT. therefore they can roam about society and go where they will.

So there are two side to the law. Obedience and disobedience. One lets you stay free and the other condemns and brings judgment and punishment.

Jesus is saying this in this scripture.[ JOHN 12:48 ] “He who rejects Me and does not receive my words, has that which judges him, the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day”

So Jesus will enforce the words he has given to us. His Bible. If we have chosen to ignore it and cast it aside in order to live life as we see fit then you are self -condemned. The word of God will judge you. You knew it was there but have turned away from it for whatever reason. The same is true on Earth when a person commits murder or other crimes against the law of the land, they are self- condemned. The judge must only enforce the law.

On the other side of this is obedience to the Word of God. This will save you, take you out of condemnation, bless your life because you choose what pleases God. It will fill the spiritual hunger you feel inside all the time no matter how you try to cover it over, It will give you a future and a hope as you continue to follow Jesus the author of life. You will be victorious instead of defeated because you are the child of the King of Kings. [Read Deuteronomy chapter 28 in your bible to get a better understanding of this.

I used to work in the foundry years ago back in the 1980s and early 90s. It was November. God and I had been having a great time together and He was teaching me a lot. As you can imagine, foundries are very noisy and dirty. It was in this atmosphere that God came down and covered me in His love. I was using air tools grinding on iron when the Lord came to me. His presence was so strong that I had to stop working and set my tools down.

He said to me, “I want you to go to the hospital on Saturday and pray for the sick”. Then He showed me a vision of the hospital He wanted me to go to. there was three to pick from in our area and He showed me the one that He wanted me to go to. The love of His presence was so strong that I said yes right away. Then His presence lifted and things were back to normal, so I went back to work thinking about what just happened.

Going Saturday was going to be hard a little because I was supposed to go deer hunting, it was opening day. But it was better to obey. We got a baby sitter for the kids Saturday and went up to SNT ELIZABETHS HOSPITAL. As we got into the parking lot, we sat and prayed, saying, “God show who you want us to contact in this hospital. We went in knowing nothing about anyone in there. As we got into the building God said go to the second floor. So we went up to the second floor and were walking up and down the hallways.

We saw a woman through a open door sitting there with both of her wrists taped up. I said “hey we are up here praying for the sick, can we pray for you? She got scared and said no no no, I have a pastor who prays for me. I said ok ok. Then God said “go to the fourth floor.” So we went up to the fourth floor and walked the halls up there and came up on a woman watching tv with a neck brace on. I said to her, “we are up here praying for the sick, can we pray for you?

She said sure, come on in! I was excited. We sat down and talked with her. I told her that three days ago God visited me at work and told me to come up to this hospital and pray for the sick on Saturday. She asked me if I knew her mother? Did her mother tell me to come up here? I said NO! God told me to come up here. I don’t know your mother. I gave her the gospel and told her how much God loved her. Gods word penetrated her heart and she started crying her eyes out and said, “THIS IS GOD, THIS IS GOD, THIS IS GOD!

She was so happy to get a word from the Lord directly for her alone. We prayed for her and I asked God to give her a husband and we prayed for her neck for a healing. She had surgery done from an injury from a baseball accident. She was about age 25. I believe she got saved at that moment because she believed. God’s word got into her heart, that’s why she started crying.

That same day about 8:00 pm I got a call from a woman. The first thing she said to me is “who is this? I told her Marty. She said, “Did you go up to the hospital today to pray for a young woman? I said ,”yes we did”. She said, “well I am her mother. I go to the ASSEMBLY OF GOD CHURCH. Me and 4 other ladys from our church have been praying for my daughter for 4 years. God told me three days ago that He was sending me help. I dont know why I am telling you this but my daughter is a lesbian!”I said, ” Well God can deliver her from that! She was very excited and greatful to God who had arranged all of this. After we hung up I never saw or heard from them again.

This young lady needed to know that God loved her and not just from her mother. She knew that the life style that she was doing was condemning her to hell. She could not get rid of the guilt, but God in His mercy honoring her mothers and her prayer warriors prayers, wasnt going to let this young lady die in sin. God loves the person but must seperate us from our sins so that we are not condemned with them.

Please notice that the first lady we met on the second floor did not want prayer. Her heart was not ready. But the lady on the fourth floor, her heart was ready to believe. Both woman were about the same age. One was willing to repent and one was not.

Another time, I had my favorite gas station that I used to go to all the time that was by my house. I got to know the clerks there over time. There was one woman there that was there alot more than the rest of them. she was almost a full time clerk, so I got to talking to her about Jesus and salvation alot because I would see her more often. The Desert storm war was going on at that time and we were hearing news reports coming in all the time on the state of the war. So as I stopped at the gas station that was the subject we talked about alot also.

This woman that I was speaking about seemed to like talking about the war more than you would expect a woman to talk about this stuff. I still kept giving her the gospel little by little. We had a 17 year old relation come and move in with us. He came from Chicago. His name was Eric. Eric started using this same gas station also that I was using. He got to know the clerks also.

Eric one day went to the gas station to fill up and then went into the buiding to pay for his gas. As he was standing in line, there was a woman behind him he did not know that was waiting to pay for her gas. So Eric payed his and went on his way back to our house. As he pulled up to the house, that woman who was standing behind him drove up to the house to talk to Eric.

She said, ” do you know that woman that is at the gas station who is blond?Eric said yes. Well I went to school with her and that she is a he! That is a guy, not a woman. Eric was taken back. We couldnt tell.

this woman that stopped to talk to Eric then left. This was an act of God as you will see. God put it in her heart to stop and talk to Eric for know reason what so ever. He never saw her before in his life. As I got home from work, Eric quickly called to the side and told me what happened. I was taken back. After months of ministering to this woman, I had no idea that she was a he.

My first reaction was to go to a different gas station for a little while. God said to me, “what are you afraid of? “I said nothing”. So I started going back to that station again and there she was as usual. I did not let this guy know that I knew what he was but kept ministering the gospel to him and kept things at that level. I remember the last thing I said to him one day. He was joking about angels. I said, ” You shouldnt mock the things of God. Then I left.

The next time that I went to this station, I walked into the door and all of a sudden this guy runs from behind the counter up to me and he had short hair and men’s clothes on and was excited. He said,” Do you see a difference? I said yes I do! I said, “when did you change back? He told me things and that he was excited and also had a girlfriend now. He had repented from this sin. This is what God is looking for. God visited him and he knew that he was wrong because the Spirit of God brings conviction.

this had nothing to do with me. The word of God that I gave him did the work in his heart and changed him from the inside out. God’s word is living because God watches over His own word to perform it.

Salvation prayer when you are ready. Must be from the heart!

Lord; please come into my heart and my life and take it over. Put a new Spirit within me and forgive me of all my past sins. lead me into true righteousness. be my Lord and God.

Scripture for this is in [ROMANS 10: 8,9,10] [Bible promise NKJ version.]

But what does it say? The word is near you and in your mouth and in your heart” that is the word of faith which we preach: That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.

You will know when He enters in. God will come to you.

GODS LOVE AND MERCY AND SALVATION BE REVEALED TO YOU.
