Greetings in the Holy Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ, Thank you for contacting Vision of Hope.
First of all I don't judge people. I was an unwilling guest of the State of SC for six years of a ten year sentence. That is where I met the Man, Jesus. I am not sure what it is that I can offer at
this time other than prayers. I apologize for being so late in getting back to you. I have been ill and in the Hospital as well as taking care of my handicapped wife. The Ministry doesn't run when I
am not here so I am so far behind on e-mails and snail mail that I have no idea when I will get caught up. If you are already home I pray that God is blessing you as you begin your post prison life.
If there is anything else I can do please let us know. Again, God bless you and yours.
In Christ's Service
Doc
This is a letter (below this letter,) I asked Joann Gray to write, that just kind of introduces herself and explains her situation. (see her on http://www.cowtowninfo.com/personals/f06/f06-014.htm
--- -my site is www.usaprayermission.com, name and address: Joseph Edward Bonnette, P.O. BOX 65555 St. Paul, Mn. 55165 USA. --- email: 12000words@usa.com.cell phone: 612-749-0072) ---- I am seeking
to advance in the “heavenly calling” in every possible way and request to God, and am ready for whatever the Lord has for me to do. I am really desiring to get out of the “rut” life has thrown my way
my whole life so far!! I want to get out of the selfish self serving ways of life, and really work to serve the Lord.
--------Joann just sent this letter “to whom it may concern” last week on 8/10/11. She is supposed to get out on parole next month, and get considered on Sept 1st, so I am praying that if she is
telling the truth in this short letter, (which I slightly correct in spelling and grammar,-- and which I know her claim sounds impossible for her to get 30 years for something so “relatively”
innocent, when known murders sometimes get out after hardly a year passes,) then I ask God to get as many to pray as possible for it, and if she gets out, I have a list of vows and promises to God of
what we will do together for the furtherance of his kingdom. In this request I also want prayer that my vows will be especially “obviously” binding, (though they are already according to His word,
“pay that you owe,” etc.) and that they are proof that I really need and desire God to work in my life in behalf of Joann and myself. I will keep close track of all my resolutions and promises, and
while I do them regardless of what God does for me, there are some that cannot be done unless circumstances allow it, and prove to me that God answered my prayers in my favor. -----.
------ The Holy Spirit knows if this letter (mine and hers) is true or not, and so it would be better if those who have the gift of “true word of knowledge” could read this, and all give me their
honest most God fearing opinion as to what they believe the Lord is telling them on it, (preferable speaking through them,) knowing if you do not really “know” you better not “act like” you do, or
you are “lying to the Holy Spirit!!” You know Ananias and Sapphira and I think God could do that again, even if I would speak carelessly, etc!!! And I think we all deserve to be treated like we are
important and telling the truth, until and unless we know (can prove) otherwise, so I do not like this “based on probability stuff,” as if it is enough to be treated like a “statistic” rather than a
real individual and unique person. I think faith can be an “exact science,” and science means “logic” which probably comes from the word “logos.” Jesus said to preach the gospel to the “poor” because
the poor cannot be known unless someone goes to them, and “seeks them out,” as Jesus said to “leave the 99 sheep and seek the one lost one!!!” And Jesus said though we start working in the harvest
field late in the “day,” we will get the same “payment” (anointing) as those who have done so their whole life already. -----
---------------- I read part of Edmund Roebert’s book, “ministering in the gifts of the Holy Spirit,” (a Nigerian woman gave me, whom I unfortunately gave all that money to,) and I am trying to
practice “praying in the Holy Spirit,” though it is true I have been slack on that, though not on prayer in general. I believe the word in Romans 13:3 that all judges and police and “rulers” in
general are God’s ministers, though on a “secular pharisaical level,” and as the heart of the King, God can control and turn it anyway he chooses. It does not say “only in the case of righteous and
godly Kings and rulers,” but ALL such persons are considered “ministers” of God. The Bible also says that “if a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies at peace with him.” And so I know
God is in control, and as stated in the infallible word, in John 1:3, that “without (Jesus) the word, was not anything made that is made,” and so though people may have a lot of bad intentions “made”
in their heart, for it to be “made” outwardly, it can only happen through the word who is now made flesh, and called “Jesus our Lord and Savior.” Amos 3:6 seems to say the same, that nothing good or
bad can happen, unless the Lord does it. This should be a comfort to us, that “not a sparrow can fall to the ground without our father” Jesus said.
----------------Here is Joann's letter below: (yes she knows Jesus as her savior, and that was about the first thing she told me how much she loves Jesus, and how He speaks to her, etc. And she said
also how much she loves her Bible, etc. The “Joe” she mentions is me, though one is good and that is God, as Jesus said, but “every creature of God is good if sanctified by the word of God and
prayer.”)
======== To whom this may concern! My name is Joann and yes I’m doing time. I have been for a while now. But thank God I will be able to see the light soon. I want you and whole lot of other people
to know that just because people are behind bars doesn’t mean that they did anything. There are so many people that are doing time behind something they didn’t do! Like myself, no I didn’t know a
robbery was about to happen. They took clothes not money. The girl said she was going to pick up something and I took her. So no I didn’t know. Maybe you or no one else believes me. It’s only one
person I know loves me and knows my life and His name is God. I have nothing to hide. I really do thank you for trying to get to know me. And I love Joe he is a good man. So all I’m asking you is to
please get to know me okay. Before you all put me down. Thank you very much! Love, Joann
