JESUS did this to make us free from the fear of death.  We no longer need to be chained to this fear.  Hebrews 2:14,15 (NLV) 

 

But even if you suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are Blessed.  “Do not be afraid of their terror, do not be troubled.”  1 Peter 3:14 (MEV)

 

Where GOD’s love is, there is no fear, because GOD’s perfect love takes away fear.  It is punishment that makes a person fear.  So love is not made perfect in the person who has fear.  1 John 4:18 (ICB)

 

Now to HIM WHO is able to keep you from falling and to present you blameless before the presence of HIS glory with rejoicing,  to the only wise GOD our SAVIOR, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.  Jude 24,25 (MEV)

King Alfred the Great lived in the 9th century.

He defended England against the invading, anti-Christian murdering Vikings.

Alfred personally commanded his men in 54 bloody battles,
frequently fighting against overwhelming odds.

Alfred, also, forced Viking King Guthrum of the Danes,
along with 30 of King Guthrum’s earls to be baptized as Christians.

These were the first Viking converts to Christianity.

[The Christian Viking Leif Erikson and his Christian Vikings discovered and settled Newfoundland, Canada centuries before Christopher Columbus.

I am a direct descendent of the Vikings, Chaplain Phil Osborne ✝]

+

King Alfred cared deeply for the poor and the middle-class and wrote a book against abusive, unjust, and corrupt judges.

+

King Alfred personally translated the Psalms and Bede’s Ecclesiastical History for the population.

+

King Alfred the Great donated half of his personal income to Christian schools.

Alfred taught that for a kingdom to be effective,
it needed men of prayer, men of war, and men of work.

He insisted that his nobles learn to read,
and learn the great history and heritage of Christians.

+

King Alfred successfully fought against spiritual decay within the English church.

+

He entrenched and enforced the law of GOD as the common law of England.

+

King Alfred the Great wrote,
“Local government ought to be synonymous with local Christian virtue,
otherwise it becomes local tyranny,
local corruption,
and local iniquity”.

King Alfred armed, trained, and organized the common Christian people for local defense.

Hearing loss is not to come back.

+

Dr. Michael Domet is the ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) surgeon,
who tested my hearing in a hearing booth on December 7, 2012,
after I had noticed a hearing loss in my left ear.

Unfortunately, the test showed substantial hearing loss in the left ear,
starting from a high dive injury.

+

Dr. Domet tested my hearing in a hearing booth, again,
on November 5, 2014,
and my hearing in the left ear had substantially improved!

+

Dr. Domet admittedly exclaimed that he had nothing to do with the hearing coming back.

After vocally giving GOD the credit in front of Dr. Domet and his staff,
that afternoon of November 5, 2014 my bone on bone right knee,
which orthopedic doctors want to replace by surgery,
became dramatically better and for the rest of the day only!

+

I surprisingly walked up a steep hill fast like I did decades ago!

+

In a little while the sky was covered with dark clouds,
the wind began to blow,
and a heavy rain began to fall.

Ahab got in his chariot and started back to Jezreel.

The power of THE LORD came on Elijah;
he fastened his clothes tight around his waist and ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel. 1 Kings 18:45,46 (GNB)

+

I, also, went for my walk that night,
which I was not able to do that morning nor since Monday of last week when my right knee was damaged,
and I increased the walk from 2 weeks before!

+

Instead of our pride,
give the credit due to GOD, THE FATHER, WHO Is THE LORD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH.

I Thanked GOD and Praised GOD today.

A fairly large lump developed this week in my left armpit and made it hard to move my left arm.

I Prayed to JESUS To Heal it,
and it Was Reduced to no lump this week with no other care!

From where does my help come from?
My help comes from The LORD, WHO made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1b,2 (ESV)

+

THE HOLY SPIRIT Told me to move to a city about 750 miles away.

After HE Told me,
I drove a 75 mile round trip to take a friend to see my landmark.

On the way back my bones ached,
and my car was being blown around.

I needed faith In JESUS, my SAVIOR,
to drive 10 times that amount,
just one way.

+

Without any help from my friends here on earth,
I Obeyed,
got in my car & prayed to GOD,
and began to drive to a place I had never been to.

JESUS actually Encouraged me to drive the distance.

That morning the clouds moved down and over,
then the rain and winds came.

The trucks on the Interstate were being blown about,
but my car was not being blown around and steadily moved forward by the Power and Grace Miracle Of JESUS!

When I got to the city,
which THE HOLY SPIRIT Told me to go to,
750 miles away,
to do the preliminary for my new home — my health was substantially better than when I had began the trip,
and I knew this was the second Miracle on this journey done by JESUS!

(When I safely returned to my older home,
my health became surprisingly as bad,
as when I left a few days before,
which JESUS Proved further,
that it was HE that Had Helped me with the destination to the new city.)

JESUS Proved that HE Wanted me to make the move to the new city.

I can do all things through CHRIST WHO strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 (NKJV).

+

I first went into the new city’s downtown with its skyscrapers.

There were church chimes playing Hymns similar to what I sing in Chapters in this site.

It was loud enough for the office workers in the city to hear,
and it seemed that everyone loved it, as well.

This Music was a surprise and lifted me.

+

Also, before my meetings,
I drove to the neighborhood that I was to move to and the Heavenly atmosphere about it is similar to the international Creation Museum,
Answers In Genesis,
complex in Petersburg, Kentucky.

+

Chelsie, a 19 year old nursing student virgin,
who looked like a model and had a knack for packing boxes for moving,
helped me quite a deal.

One of her favorite songs for years is “I Can Only Imagine” by Mercy Me.

After her job,
she worked extra hours helping me;
and, when I offered her money for the help she was giving me,
she refused to accept any.

+

Around 7:55 PM on March 19, 2016 AD, Saturday,
while I was lying in my bed GOD, THE FATHER substantially and Miraculously Strengthened my body!

But those who trust in THE LORD will become strong again. Isaiah 40:31 (ERV).

It was a powerful feeling,
and it was HIS preparation for my packing the truck with Richard, Ed, and Chelsie and the coming subsequent one thousand five hundred mile round trip alone in the large Penske truck
(& the days later unloading the truck & unpacking into my new home)!
[And GOD, THE FATHER Has Strengthened me for subsequent years afterward! Chaplain Phil Osborne ✝]

+

When I had moved before,
I hired former criminals,
whom, when I met,
loved JESUS.

I tried one of the same CHRIST-centered successful agencies,
where I got my work crew before this year for the move.

None of their residents were qualified for the move,
but they kept in contact with one of their former residents, Richard,
who used to work for a moving company,
who now lived in the Over-The-Rhine,
which was the murder capitol of the United States some years ago
(In the first Testimony in  Page 1 — Chapter One,
you can later read about what happened in Over-The-Rhine [the lower rent district in Cincinnati] decades ago on the first part of the Testimony).

His friend, Ed, was a level headed married man,
with a full time job,
whose day off happened to be on a Monday,
which was the best day to start the move.

+

Days earlier,
I tried to get a crew that would not cost me $70/hour to unload the truck in the new city.

On Monday morning, 3/21/16 when I left to rent the truck,
I had no crew to unload the truck 750 miles away.

But with faith I went on,
for I knew with evident proof GOD Wanted me to move to the new city.

The truck cab had no room behind the seat,
so what I would personally need for the days ahead was placed carefully on the passenger seat and its front floor.

It was crowded and there was no room to take any person with me.

The cab was high up,
and I sat as high as the cabs of the main 18-wheeler trucks.

Richard and Ed were happy to meet me.

While the crew were loading the truck,
I received a phone call from a pastor of a church in the city I was moving to — he had 2 men to meet me at my new home for Wednesday morning, 3/23/16!

+

Richard and Ed loading the truck did such a fine job,
placing the load like a puzzle put together,
that they got everything in,
so that I would not have to make 2 round trips.

Even Chelsie came over and helped load the truck for 2 hours before she took a jet to Florida that evening;
because of her helping out,
the truck was packed by sunset.

+

I started the main drive the next morning on Tuesday, 3/22/16.

I listened to the radio for about 4 minutes for the entire trip,
for I spent much of my time Praying and Fellowshipping with GOD.

Many truckers live a rough life on the road.

There was nothing on the rented truck nor on my clothes identifying me as a Christian,
but when I stopped at the truck stops,
strangers, a number of times, would rush ahead of me and hold doors open for me even though I was not carrying anything.

On the road when another cab would be next to mine,
truckers would wave a friendly, “Hi”, to me.

THE SPIRIT WHO lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. 1 John 4:4b (NLT).

The scenery was spectacular from high up in the truck cab.

+

I was met the next morning with the 2 men, Allen and Joe, and Joe’s wife Kathy, and she helped, too
(there were 3 other men who wanted to help me unload,
who let me know after I started the drive on Tuesday,
but they were really not needed and have never met them).

Everything was moved out of the truck that day,
but they were late to church.

They were loving and came over to me and each gave me a hug good-bye.

Over the past number of weeks,
I paid my indebtedness to that church in full.

+

Because I obeyed GOD,
wonderful things have happened to me since moving into the new city — thanks to HIM.

+

May The GOD Of Hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in HIM,
so that you may overflow with hope by the power of THE HOLY SPIRIT. Romans 15:13 (NIV).

633 thoughts on “Chapter 2 – Courage and about Testimonies and Miracles

  1. “In regard to this Great Book,
    I have but to say,
    it is the best gift God has given to man.

    All the good The Savior gave to the world was communicated through this Book.

    But for it we could not know right from wrong.

    All things most desirable for man’s welfare,
    here and hereafter,
    are to be found portrayed in it.”

    President Abraham Lincoln
    September 7, 1864

    Abraham Lincoln financially supported the American Bible Society.

    [From (Comments) Page 4 — Chapter 1 Testimonies and Miracles]

  2. President Harry S. Truman placed General Douglas MacArthur in charge of the formal surrender of Tokyo and remained in Japan for six years commanding the occupational forces.

    MacArthur saw in Japan the religion Shintoism,
    and Japanese people bowing before idols of Buddha,
    instead of obeying and loving THE CREATOR.

    But as for the cowardly,
    the faithless,
    the detestable,
    those who commit murder,
    the sexually immoral,
    those who practice the occult,
    idolaters,
    and all liars — their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur.
    That is the second death.
    Revelation 21:8 (MR-INT)

    General MacArthur pleaded with America,
    “Send Missionaries and Bibles”.

    The people of America still did not like the Japanese for what they had done,
    but they respected and liked General Douglas MacArthur.

    After that,
    some 5,000 Missionaries and millions of Bibles were sent to the Japanese people from America.

    I have spoken with a number of Japanese Christians in Japan,
    Chaplain Phil Osborne ✝

    “No place of the occupation has left me with a greater sense of personal satisfaction than my spiritual stewardship.”

  3. “Peace I leave with you.

    My peace I give to you.

    I do not give to you as the world gives.

    Your heart must not be troubled or fearful.

    John 14:27 (HCSB)

  4. “The soldier,
    above all other men,
    is required to practice the greatest act of religious training — sacrifice.

    In battle and in the face of danger and death,
    he discloses those Divine attributes which his MAKER gave when HE created man in HIS own image.

    No physical courage and no brute instinct can take the place of Divine Help which alone can sustain him.”

    General Douglas MacArthur
    At West Point
    May, 1962

    I let Vice-President Bush know that one time he used The Lord‘s Name too casually.

    Vice-President Bush responded by earnestly hand typing a letter to me after hours.

    That is the kind of man he was.

    As my GrandDad let me know:
    improve myself until the day I die.

    President George H. W. Bush, also, genuinely and enthusiastically liked the same Christian Music that I like!

    Some of our Presidents in history had a loving heart – President George H. W. Bush was one of them.

    It is sad for him to pass on from us.

    “We are one nation under God.

    And we were placed here on earth to do His Work.

    And our work has gone on now for more than 200 years in the nation – a work best embodied in four simple words:
    in God we trust.”

  6. General George Marshall was my relative and was awarded the Silver Star and the Distinguished Service Medal.

    He was the first in the history of our country to become a five star general.

    Prime Minister Winston Churchill said General George Marshall was the “organizer of victory’ in World War II.

    Time Magazine named General Marshall its Man of the Year in 1943.

    “The third area I would like to discuss has to do with the problem of the millions who live under subnormal conditions,
    and who have now come to a realization that they may aspire to a fair share of the GOD Given rights of human beings.”,
    5 Star General George C. Marshall during his acceptance of the Nobel Prize.

    General Marshall became the Army Chief of Staff and was five star General Dwight D. Eisenhower’s superior.

    Eisenhower said,
    “It is a high privilege for me,
    once again,
    to pay a simple tribute to General George C. Marshall.

    This time I do so in terms of my personal contacts with him.

    A few of his characteristics are uppermost in my memory,
    and on these I shall dwell.

    They include his consideration for others;
    his clear, direct, and logical approach to any major military problem;
    his complete, single-minded dedication and loyalty to his country and government;
    and his selflessness and objectivity in making decisions and in courageously discharging his vitally important duties.
    ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
    In early conferences of the American Chiefs of Staff and, later,
    of the combined Chiefs of Staff —- which meetings I attended as one of his assistants —- he quickly established himself as the dominant figure.

    His vision was so clear,
    his grasp of complex issues so instinctive and precise,
    and his convictions so strong,
    that he was almost invariably the leader in discussions and in resultant decisions.

    In all Allied meetings in which I was present with him this continued throughout the war;
    his complete absorption in the task at hand was apparent to all.”

    “With unshakable faith in the cause for which we fight,
    we will,
    with GOD’s Help,
    go forward to our greatest victory.”

    Supreme Allied Commander

  9. In the 1950s,
    9 students were not allowed to go to high school at Little Rock (Arkansas) Central High School,
    only because they were black.

    In September of 1957 the racist Governor Orval Faubus of Arkansas even sent the National Guard to physically block the students the freedom of going to this closest school to them,
    even though the Central High school board had fairly voted for the 9 students to be allowed to attend.

    The Arkansas National Guard would not let them in.

    +

    Christian Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower,
    who had enough of the evil governor of Arkansas,
    sent the 101st Airborne Division of the United States Army against the Arkansas National Guard and protected the students into the Little Rock Central High School.

    “Do for others what you want them to do for you.”

  10. Lord, You have searched me and known me.

    You know when I sit down and when I stand up;
    You understand my thoughts from far away.

    You observe my travels and my rest;
    You are aware of all my ways.

    Before a word is on my tongue,
    You know all about it, Lord.

    You have encircled me;
    You have placed Your hand on me.

    Psalm 139:1-5 (HCSB)

  11. If anyone should cause one of these little ones to lose his faith in Me,
    it would be better for that person to have a large millstone tied around his neck and be drowned in the deep sea.

    Jesus in Matthew 18:6 (GNT)

    President Dwight D. “Ike” Eisenhower founded the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the National Aeronautics And Space Administration (NASA).

    Ike stated that one of his greatest errors was his Presidential appointment of Earl Warren as Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court,
    and after his Presidency he disapproved of a court ruling from the US Supreme Curse banning Bible reading from our public schools .

    At Gettysburg he said,
    “I do not see how any supreme court in the world can declare teachings in this vein illegal.”

  12. In the beginning GOD created the heavens and the earth. (NLT)

    The first verse of the Holy Bible.

    Apollo 8 was the 1st mission for men to fly around the moon.

    As astronaut Frank Borman saw the earth a quarter of a million miles away,
    he radioed to the people of planet Earth,
    “In the beginning, GOD created the heavens and the earth”.
