Dear LBCFF  Team,                                                         
                                     April 23, 2020

World leaders struggle in vain to find solutions. David understood, along
with the other Bible writers. “Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy
commandments are truth.” Psalms 119:151

The first one of the Ten Commandments points us to Jesus Christ, “…the
Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” John 1:29.

“I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of bondage.  Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
Exodus 20:2-3

While in bondage in Egypt they were instructed by God, through Moses, to
have a lamb live with them four days.  On the night of the passover they
were instructed to kill the lamb and put the blood over the doors and side
posts of their houses (Exodus 12), then to cook in the fire and eat the
rest of the lamb.

In the night the death angle passed over the houses where the lambs blood
was and the walked out of bondage through the door covered over with the
blood of the Lamb. They continued walking into the promised land by the
strength of the Lamb they had eaten and had inside them.

All this represented Jesus Christ, the True Lamb of God, who died and shed
His blood for us that we may, one day, enter the ‘Promised Land’.

So, we love the beautiful law of Liberty, it begins with the Love of God
and how He delivered us while we were/are in the house of bondage to sin,
represented by Egypt long ago. All we have to do is admit we are in bondage and take the Lamb and by faith apply His blood to the door of our heart and soul. Humble ourselves, admit we are in bondage to sin, as outlined in the next nine commandments that we have not walked in.

Now with Him in our hearts He will be our Lord, in our hearts, to carry us
into the next nine Commandments free from all transgressions. A land
without guilt.

“He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in
him… It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the
words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” John
6:56,63

David said, “O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day. Thou
through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me…”  Psalms 119:97-99.

David saw that all major Truths were contained in those Ten Commandments (Exodus 20). The first four are the foundation of Love for God. The next
six are the foundation of Love for our fellow mankind.

David knew that all events in the world are related to our obedience to
these ten simple commandments. If we keep them we prosper, if we break them we suffer. Thus the key to David’s and, his son, Solomon’s success.

David said, “Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold… Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy
law.” Psalms 119:127,136.

Solomon said,  “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God,
and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” Ecclesiastes
12:13.

Current events can be better understood if we understand as David and
Solomon did. “So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the
law of liberty.” James 2:12.

God bless,

Gerry

Dear LBCFF Team,

Attached is a letter, also it is here in case you are not able to download
an attachment.

We are concerned about all three aspects of our nature: Physical, Mental,
and Spiritual.

Here are some very good links to help with raising food especially greens
in small areas.

Dear LBCFF (Law By Choice For Freedom) Team,                             
                                                           April 2, 2020 

Do we understand the times we are in? Judgments are in the world, why?
What is to be done?  “…because they have cast away the law of the LORD
of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel…  Thine enemies
roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs…We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long. O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?” Isaiah 5:24; Psalm 74:4,9-10.

In every generation God has His people, “Here is the patience of the
saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of
Jesus.” Revelation 14:12  “And of the children of Issachar, which were men
that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do…  Of
Zebulun… which could keep rank: they were not of double heart.” 1
Chronicles 12:32-33 

What happens to God’s enemy?  “And he shall pass over to his strong hold
for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD,
whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.” Isaiah 31:9
“Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed
because of the truth. Selah.” Psalm 60:4

“All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when
he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet,
hear ye.” Isaiah 18:3 

“The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published
it.” Psalm 68:11

Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles,
and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in
their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders.”
Isaiah 5:24; 49:22   

Noah didn’t drown anyone, nor should he have, but God destroyed all the
people that lived with Noah. He warned them, they refused to hear.  Lot
didn’t punish his sons-in-laws but he did warn them, God destroyed them
all, as he said he would.   A day of Judgment is upon us.  Jesus warned us
of these very days we live in, read:  Matthew 24; Mark 13; Luke 21.  Along
with…

“The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even
the voice of the day of the LORD: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.

That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of
wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of
clouds and thick darkness, A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers…  …because they have sinned against the LORD: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.   Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver
them in the day of the LORD’S wrath…” Zephaniah 1:14-18

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected
knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me:
seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy
children.” Hosea 4:6

How to warn?  “…God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.”
Romans 12:3, we would describe it as a conscience, a still small voice.
This voice from within cries out, ‘This is it’, to the person that has an
honest heart when truth comes into the ears and eyes.   The uninformed are
waiting for that voice of warning as they see the banner lifted up.   And
what with us?  “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I
send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.” Isaiah 6:8

“He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the
earth: and the isles shall wait for his law… The LORD is well pleased for
his righteousness’ sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.”
Isaiah 42:4, 21  Jesus the Ten Commandments personified, the Ten
Commandments Jesus codified.  “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt
among us…” John 1:14

“…his name is called The Word of God.” Revelation
19:13.

“It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.”
Psalm 119:126

“He that keepeth the commandment keepeth his own soul; but he that
despiseth his ways shall die…  And I know that his commandment is life
everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto
me,
so I speak.” Proverbs 19:16; John 12:50                                   

God bless you each one,    Gerry Mahn

“Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon…
Isaiah 55:6-7.

Let us pray for the people in Wuhan, and all people, including ourselves.
“For a voice of wailing is heard…  For death is come up into our windows…”
Jeremiah 9:19,21.

“But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.”  Luke 23:28

“Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”
Luke 21:26,28

Dear LBCFF Team,                                                         
                                             
There are three links here, one is painting a dire picture of the
CoronaVirus, one of the 1918 Spanish Flu, one of UN Secretary General
warning the world.  If you don’t have time to watch the whole video of the
1918 account, please start it at the 25 minute part and at 25 minutes 20
seconds it will explain that the authorities thought the virus had run it’s
course and told everyone not to worry.  Think of all the people who come
forward after a mass shooting or terrorist attack and say they knew there
was something wrong with the people that carried out the terror but they
didn’t want to get involved and have people think they were alarmists.

Do we really have the luxury to play it safe thinking if we are wrong we
will be accused of being alarmists?  What about Jonah?  Didn’t he go
through some of the same things.  He didn’t want to go but after being
swallowed, deposited on the beach, he warned of what could come upon
Nineveh if they didn’t repent. 

Not unlike any of us, he didn’t want to be ridiculed as a false messenger
when the event he warned of didn’t happen, in fact he got depressed
thinking of how it made him look bad.  God had to straighten him out, he
should have been glad that the calamity he spoke of didn’t happen and lives
were spared.  He finally understood.  The calamity didn’t happen because
God saw repentance and stopped the coming disaster. 

In Davids situation we read: “And when the angel stretched out his hand
upon Jerusalem to destroy it, the LORD repented him of the evil, and said
to the angel that destroyed the people, It is enough: stay now thine hand.
And the angel of the LORD was by the threshingplace of Araunah the
Jebusite.  And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but
these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against
me, and against my father’s house.” 2 Samuel 24:16-17.  David, the
believer, did wrong and a collective judgment came on the people.  We have
a great responsibility as do the leaders we elect to govern us, we chose
our leaders and reap what we sow.

May God give us eyes to see. Just a few things to consider.  Isaiah
3:4,9,12,25; 26:9.  Zephaniah 1:11-12; along with this verse: “She obeyed
not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD;
she drew not near to her God.  Her princes within her are roaring lions;
her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted
the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.” Zephaniah 3:2-4     

The UN General Secretary is warning of the Four Horsemen coming on the
world (the very rocks will cry out) He’s identified the problem but not the
correct solution.  It’s not a better vaccine, weapon, self help class,
weather control, internment camps, stronger leaders, etc, etc.  Hosea 4:6
says we are destroyed for a lack of knowledge, because we have rejected the law of God.  Jesus said to go and teach.  That is the solution, teach
quickly, make the Word of God available.  As Jesus taught: “…Repent: for
the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 4:17.  God is a refuge in the
coming storm (Isaiah 4:6).

Please be praying for Dr. Alicia, I have not heard from her for over 24
hours.  She was last in Bangladesh.
God bless.  Gerry Mahn 

PS Some are saying all is well, don’t worry a few may get sick in the US
but all this talk of ‘disaster’ are way overblown.  We have it under
control.

Others like the one at the link contained here are painting a far
different picture.  I don’t know which is correct, maybe somewhere in the
middle.  At this point only God knows.  A watchman warns but does not
panic.  “The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall
remain in the congregation of the dead…  A prudent man foreseeth the
evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished.”
Proverbs 21:16; 22:3

Dear LBCFF (Law By Choice For Freedom) Team members,

You are each very important not only to God but to me and many other
people in your lives.

 We are like a great puzzle with many pieces that fit together to make a
great picture that can be seen and understood by those willing to look and
contemplate.

Each piece by itself may not make much sense when others see it by itself
but, as each of us goes forth, being guided by God in our lives, we find
our spot in the great masterpiece.  No one else would be able to fit in the
place meant by God for us.   

Each of us has our doubts, our questions, our story, but we each have
found the answers in Jesus Christ, as revealed to us in the Holy Bible.  We
have direction and are determined to fill our place.  One of our heroes is
the poor widow (Luke 21:1-4), she loved God and gave her all to Him.  He
directed her steps, she was not a hero to the world but she was with Jesus,
and us.  God is leading us, be patient, be strong in faith know that God’s
mercy is great, His care for us is unlimited. 

We choose very little in our lives, we don’t choose when we are born,
where, our parents, our sex, our height, color, where and if we go to
school when young, our inherited defects, etc etc.  But what we do choose
is what we do with what we are and have.  When we choose Christ we have a captain of our lives to guide and direct us to the place He has reserved
for us.

No one else can fill our place in life we are the only one with our story.
Don’t let the enemy of our souls sow doubt in our hearts.  He is all
merciful, when we fall He is there to pick us up and repair the damage and
guide us to the next step.  He will never leave us not forsake us.  If we
fall he is faithful and just to forgive us as we turn back to Him, He draws
us to Himself with unfailing love.

He owns the cattle on a thousand hills, we are His children, this whole
world is His and we are able to go where He leads and He will provide what
we need, He owns it all.  Our faith in Him is our victory.

“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such
things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake
thee.” Hebrews 13:5

“Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the
LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor
forsake thee.” Deuteronomy 31:6

“My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And
if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the
righteous: And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only,
but also for the sins of the whole world.” 1 John 2:1-2

This is the first correspondence for some time, none of you are left out,
I just haven’t send a message for a few months.  We have much to report, so
many things the Lord is doing, in each of our lives.
I will be getting the updates out soon, God willing.  We have reports
from: Peru, Uganda, Liberia, India, Kenya, Nicaragua,  the USA, Canada,
Ukraine etc.

Our message is simple and powerful.  Thank you all, God bless.  The best
days are ahead.  With God all things are possible!

With much love, Your brother in Jesus Christ,
Gerry Mahn 12-30-19
