ARTICLE: BUILDING A BRIDGE OF LOVE AND TRUTH THAT 
WILL LEAD THE LOST OVER AND INTO THE ARMS 
OF GOD

There is a bridge that stands between mankind and God Almighty, The Great Jehovah, The Great I AM, and Our Creator. The Bible tells us that "Jesus is the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me (Jesus)" (John 14:6)

When I think of bridges I think of the practicality of its purpose-- leading an individual from one side of a lake to the other side. A Bridge is designed to lead a person from one location to another. 
America is known for Its' "Freedom of Religion" and as we all know, this country was founded on Christian Values with our god-fearing forefathers. I believe when they put the Freedom of Religion, First Amendment to the United States Constitution, no one would have ever imagined that some of these religions, although seemingly having good intentions in effecting American society in a positive way, would begin to take over, and in doing so, would attempt to shove Christianity out of America. But in reality, I believe, as an American, that "Freedom" can open a nation up to MANY false god-- a danger lies in when a particular religion infiltrates, with intentions and agendize force to demolish and abolish the Christian values The United States of America was founded on.

In 2016, I am certain our forefathers never could see that one religion could infiltrate and take over where Christianity used to be the American Cultures religious preference; knowing this nation was founded on Godly principles. But the Muslims have begun to take over the religious cultur, BUT , IN TRUTH, The One True Living God and Jesus Christ, His son, that Christians serve,ill NEVER be replaced by ALLAH, a false god.

The Bible tells says, "You will have no other gods before me, You will not make any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is i the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me" (Exodus 20:3-5)

I speak as a Christian and I must remind folks that our nation, AMERICA, was founded on the TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. America IS still a Christian, God-fearing, Nation -- some would say what I am saying is not necessarily correct. But I am one who believes Father God still has a holy remnant of authentic Christians who are uncompromising in standing on the unadulterated Truth of The Word of God. WE ARE PRAYING THAT FATHER GOD'S WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN! God is still on the Throne in Heaven and He is not intimidated by any false gods. His People will stand strong, courageous, and bold in their stance again any false religion or false gods. Let us ALL rise up and declare Jesus Christ is King of Kings and Lord and Lords. One day EVERY knee is going to bow and EVERY tongue is going to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord of ALL. HALLELUJAH!

Now getting back to the idea of bridges, I refer to this as a mode of connection from one place to another and this includes connecting the acceptance of Jesus Christ, who is THE BRIDGE, and as our Savior and Redeemer, only He can lead us into the Presence of His Heavenly Father. This "Bridge" (Jesus Christ) is available for everyone who desires to cross over into all of the promises of Father God that is found in His Holy Love Letter to ALL Mankind (The Holy Bible).

It is my prayer that Christians are able to go out into the world and share how others can cross over into eternity in heaven by walking across (Jesus Christ) "The Bridge", but unfortunately there are many OTHER bridges out in the world that are leading to false gratification, and the eventuality of destruction -- for you see, all other "bridges" have been set up by Satan, the Father of Lies, who, again is trying to counterfeit "THE Bridge - Jesus Christ". and lead everyone away from TRUTH AND GOD! On Satan's "bridges" , folks are walking across and into the world of delusions, deceptions and lies.. But Satan isn't "The Bridge"-- he may be "A bridge" but He can never lead anyone to their true CREATOR-- The Great Jehovah, the Almighty One True Living God.

Jesus Is "THE BRIDGE" and Satan is "many bridges with many planks missing as individuals attempt to cross. With these planks missing". For those who are choosing to walk across one of Satan's bridges, this means, with missing planks, if someone would perish on the way across, he wouldn't chalk it up as one less person he has to deceive and take into hell. Satan's goal on "the many bridges" is as it always has been since He was kicked out of heaven-- His plan to Steal, Kill and Destroy every man, woman and child. Jesus, THE BRIDGE, leads His people safely across where the planks are strong with Jesus as the foundation as Chief Cornerstone. This BRIDGE will only lead all who cross it into the "abundant life" they have in Jesus Christ. HOPE Glory to Father God!

HOPE FOR TOMORROW I PRAY:

it would be awesome if one day we would see one Christian standing on one end of "The Bridge" (Jesus Christ), and a Muslim was standing on the other end of "The Bridge"-- then the Christian and Muslim met in the middle and as the Christian shares Jesus Christ, "The Truth that sets the Captives free" and the Christian and the Muslim would take hands and turn back in the direction of "The Father" because The Muslim's eyes were open to truth-- and what a glorious scene it would be to watch two brothers walking hand in hand on The Bridge (Jesus) heading towards The Heavenly Father! Glory Hallelujah! Or what if I, a former homosexual, but now a Spirit-filled Man of God, was standing on the far side of "The Bridge" (Jesus) and there on the other end stood a gay and a lesbian. I would walk to the center to meet these precious souls and tell them about "The Truth that sets the Captives free" (Jesus) and we pray together and they accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. We would then take hands and I would have the blessed honor and privilege of leading them back towards the end of The Bridge (Jesus) where they are able to meet our Heavenly Father face to face.

My beloved, The Bridge (Jesus) is ready and waiting for not only us believers to cross over, but also that we who are redeemed in Christ, would go back over to the other side and direct others to cross THE Bridge. This requires us to be willing to go to the "counterfeit bridges" that Satan has built, and tell everyone about THE BRIDGE (Jesus Christ) that leads them into heaven for all eternity. We MUST direct them away from "The Counterfeit bridges" that will only lead them into eternity in hell; and lead them to THE BRIDGE (Jesus Christ).

If you haven't made the decision to cross THE BRIDGE (Jesus Christ) and you have found yourself crossing many of the counterfeit bridges of Satan, and you are finding discontentment, deception, and lies, you can still cross THE BRIDGE by accepting Jesus Christ-- the "real deal" and not some flamboyant, grandiose ornate, delusional smoke and mirror show that urges folks to cross Satan''s "bridges". Jesus Christ is the REAL DEAL ""The Truth that sets the captives free". You can ask Jesus into your heart today. It is very easy in that all is required is that you say a prayer and you are sincere in your heart when you do. If you would like to give your life to Jesus, please repeat this prayer below:

PRAYER: "Jesus, I am a sinner and I acknowledge that I am in need a savior who will save my soul from the wiles and deception of the devil and ultimate eternal residency in hell. . I believe, Jesus, that you came into this world to become the "Savior of the World" -- that you were nailed to the Cross at Calvary dying Once-for-All - you died for ALL of the sins of mankind. You rose again after the third day, and ascended into heaven, where you know sit at the right hand of The Father. I believe In the blood you shed on that Cross, you became my Redeemer and when I accept you in my heart I will be redeemed back unto my heavenly father--and in doing so, I can return to the original blueprint that Father God has always had for my life. Jesus, I ask you into my heart and to become my Lord and Savior. Thank you for now being my personal Lord and Savior. Amen

If you said this prayer, I would love for you to tell others about how you asked Jesus Christ to become your personal Lord and Savior. Now you are able to experience what it means to know the Lord is good. You will now experience the "abundant life in Christ Jesus" and you will also experience the transformation power of Father God. Your incredible journey with your walk with Christ is going to be amazing. There will still be trials and tribulations in our lives, but Jesus tells us, as HIs followers and believers, that He will never or forsake us...He is going to walk with you through every storm in life. Another great blessing is you will have other Christians around you to encourage you in fellowship, prayer and bible reading. I would encourage you to get into a good bible-teaching, Spirit led, church where you can receive fellowship, discipleship, friendship and mentorship. Father God has great plans for you -- Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I Know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

I would also love to hear from you if you made Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior today. Please drop me a line at mcrym52@gmail.com. If you would like to contact me, you can call my ministry, Midnight Cry Ministries at 928-515-0169. God bless you on your new journey -- ALL GLORY TO GOD!!!
