Note
From Ed
- Dear beloved partners
in this work of the Lord…
I am writing you
tonight, from my study at our home in Washington State. It has been a busy month or two. When you go-go-go
all the time, it gets hard to stand still for a moment and reflect on the goodness of
God’s blessings in our lives and in the ministry of Saints Alive. I can hardly
express my appreciation for your partnership with us in the joyous task of helping people
get set fee from sin, evil doctrines and false gods. We are seeing record numbers being
set free by the projects, materials, website and outreaches you have supported this year!
 |
I rejoice that
we now have my new booklet, “Understanding Islam”, in print and in
distribution. We are already receiving calls from around the world, people stepping into a
clear understanding of the battle for Muslim souls that we face. People who are learning
to pray with understanding for a whole people group. Jason has done a
great job of reprinting “To Moroni With Love” and “The
Question of Freemasonry” in the same fresh format. These three booklets will be
the first of a number of such tools for reaching the lost.. Masons continue to find the
real secrets hidden behind the veils of Masonic secrecy and are fleeing from the lodges in
greater numbers than ever before. We receive dozens of letters, emails and calls each week
showing the impact of our Free The Mason’s Ministry.
We could not do
this vital project without the strong financial support of so many of you. We are so
grateful and blessed by your generosity and giving hearts. I was reading the scriptures a
little while ago and this jumped off the page, saying what I already feel in my heart for
you.

“Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you
with persuasive words. For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit,
rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ. As you
have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him
and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the
tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to
Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in
Him, who is the head of all principality and power.” Colossians 2:3-10 NKJV |
I am personally
touched and encouraged that you have such a steadfastness of faith. We see it in your
prayers, your giving and your faithful commitment to stand with us. We see it in the
reflection of your lives and interaction with us. The notes of encouragement are touching
and the intimate prayer requests that you send; are a window into your hearts of faith. This is what Saints Alive is all about. It is more
than Ed Decker, The God Makers and Christian doctrine. It’s about real people, with
real needs, meeting the Real God. You, your families and loved ones finding the
love of Christ and then changing the world around you with that faith and love!
There are many
kinds of “Faith” described in the Bible. The word “faith,” is
primarily a New Testament word. It signifies our response to the doctrines of Christ. We
have: little faith, first faith, great faith,
a measure of faith, genuine faith, common faith, precious faith, holy faith, and even all
faith.
As Christians, It
is the essential way we relate to God. Faith is the very core of our personal relationship
to Christ. Romans 10:17 say’s that we
receive faith by the word of God. The Greek word for “word” is Rhema, which
means the spoken, dynamic, oral word of God. The kind when you know that you know God is
talking to you! It is more than just believing! It is the only thing, which pleases
God!
“Now faith is
the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen…
But,
without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He
is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
Heb 11:1,6 NKJV |
I have faith to see
the Mormon people set free, not just one at a time, but I have faith for the whole people
group. So many of them love the Lord. They need to recognize Him for who he really is; and
when they do, they will be loosed. I have faith that Christian Masons will stand up for
Jesus and let their faith in Him tear down the false faith they have had in the Masonic
god, Jaobulon. Faith is opposite of religion. Religion is easy, it is something natural,
man made, based on works. Faith produces worship which is opposite of religion. Faith is
God breathed and requires a dynamic relationship between God and us.
Today, I went to an area hospital to
pray for the brother of a neighbor of one of the members of my home church. As an
associate pastor in a large church, one of my callings is to pray for the sick, at the
altar, homes and hospitals. It is a wonderful calling and I love being a servant to the
hurting. After seeing God’s healing power in my own body many times, including heart
attacks, strokes, poisoning and being hit by a metro bus – I have faith for this!
Just like many of you who have been set free, you have faith to see other overcome the
journey you have been through!
 If you are
struggling with issues of faith today, be encouraged.
Drop me a note and let me stand with you in prayer over that issue that
clogs your pipeline to God’s peace and victory. Write me. I read every note, every
letter, and every email. My personal service to you is one of intercession and prayer. Let me bring your name before the
throne…please.
The senior pastor
of my home church, Wendell Smith, is a man full of dynamic faith. He has just written a
great book on this subject called “Great Faith.” Jason has picked
up a few cases for friends in this ministry to enjoy.
Pick up your copy and let Wendell help you bring your faith in line with
God’s desire for you… I know you will enjoy it as much as Carol, Jason and I
have.
Jason will be
married to his beautiful, wonderful bride, Lori, on July 27th. Please keep them
in your prayers as they and the families gear up for this special life-changing event.
Pray for me as I
step into heavy spiritual warfare in the matter of dealing in Christ’s love with the
nations of Islam. I am now regularly speaking on the subject in churches and nationwide
radio. God has been opening up tremendous opportunities.
We are also
planning to open an online Prayer Center at our website www.SaintsAlive.com . This will allow people to submit prayer needs and our
prayer team to read and minister to those in need. In addition, we are implementing a new shopping
cart with I-nexo solutions and a new
customer service department, which will allow you to check your orders, donations
and information online. It will be very secure and handle pledges. This will revamp our
troublesome website. Look for information in our upcoming newsletter.
Pray for Saints
Alive as the momentum and workloads keep picking up and as we slide into the usual summer
draught of financial support. Perhaps you can be that special hero once again and bless us
with a special gift or make a monthly “Summer Pledge”
to keep this work at full throttle.
Bless you, dear
friends and fellow Saints!
Your servant in
Christ,
Ed Decker
