Steve,
Thank you for continuing to uplift the Savior Jesus.
I heard tonight's program and I can understand that even people who like to listen will eventually show how they hate you for mentioning God and Jesus.
Jesus already knew this. Most followers are only interested in the 'fish and the loaves' part (physical preparation) but not in the saving message of the Gospel (spiritual preparation).
This prompted me to look up the word "hated" in scripture and found Jesus' own words that directly applies to our day.
I also found a promise he gave for us to claim for ourselves as 'His Word' for those who are being hated especially for His name's sake as you have been tonight.
I just wanted you to know this and I know our heavenly Father will honor the prayer of promise.
Your show has been a blessing to me and your prayers on the air has moved me to be ready spiritually as well as physically.
My the Lord bless and protect you, your guest and all involved in your ministry and to those who act because of it. All Glory to the Heavenly Father and His Name.
