A Holy Largess

Judge not, and you shall not be judged.
Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned.
Luke 6:37

How easily we succumb to judging and condemning. But by letting the truth of God’s Word and the presence of Jesus work in us to stretch the fabric of our souls, a largeness of life will open. First it will open up in us, then its bounty can open out through us.

So many things change when we grow in the true spirit of giving, that is, in the “spirit of God’s release.” The bitterness of criticism, the pettiness of judging, the quickness to condemn, and the slowness to forgive—all can be crowded out by a holy largess of loving and giving.

FORGIVE US OUR LORD JESUS
By Don Upham, May 2003

Forgive us our Lord Jesus for our heaped up prayers of asking you to do what you told us to do in your name and in your authority.

Forgive us our Lord Jesus for failing to bring Your Kingdom near to all of those who are still out there in captivity to the fear of death all of their lives.

Forgive us our Lord Jesus for looking to the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers as the ministers rather than the equippers of God’s people for the work of the ministry...

Letters of Repentance - Rev. Lorraine Coconato

Hollywood, Forgive God's People
To all the people who are an integral part of Hollywood and all that occurs there...

Dear Entertainment/Media Community: The Bible begins with these words, "In the beginning, God created...," (Hebrew: Bereshit bara Elohim...,") God is a Creative God. In creation, He established His order and ordained man to "...have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, an over every living thing that moves on earth." (Genesis 1:28 b) He clearly gave each man/woman creative abilities, and the authority to use the gifts that would bring forth the evidence of His imprint in our lives. Along with the creative gifts, He gave man the power to have authority over all creation, as he/she partners with the Word of God and the order that is set forth in it!

Letters of Repentance - Rev. Lorraine Coconato

Gangs, Forgive God's People! 2 Peter 4: 8, "And above all things have fervent love for one another, for love will cover a multitude of sins." This letter of repentance is for anyone who is, was and is thinking about being a gangmember.

I am a minister of the gospel of Jesus, the Christ, the Messiah, Lord and Savior of the world! I confess to you that the Church, the Body of Christ, has been unloving and unaccepting of many of you, thereby causing you to feel rejected by God and His people! Letters of Repentance - Rev. Lorraine Coconato


(Hasten Together, Sue B. Sabas Testimony)

HE LEADTH ME BESIDE THE STILL WATERS HE RESTORETH MY SOUL:
During the 1992 riots in Koreatown we networked with Pastor Yang, and the Korean Mission Church about three miles away. Owning a self-storage warehouse and truck rental agency at 8th and Western we were right in the fray. The devastation and the "mean streets" gave us a "closer walk with Thee". Together Koreatown helped feed over 30,000 people weekly for over nine-months. All peoples, races, creeds, colors and beliefs volunteered! God's Blessings!

About three-months after the riots, Jacob Oh, a Korean Pastor from Angelus Temple in Echo Park, moved into my ministry office to pray. We started a church called Western Avenue Revival. We held weekly services for over a year, feeding those in need, and ministering in Word and Song! Glorious meetings.

My adopted brother Pastor Jacob Oh went home to be with the Lord in 2000. He was a beloved son of God. May the Lord bless his wife and children.

Jacob taught me to praise the Lord, in the midst of the storm. Often tears streamed down my cheeks, and I'd cry out in grief -- Help, Lord, Help. Jacob would hug me, pray over me, and tell me to ask the Lord who I was to tend or feed next! My spirit related to how Jesus felt when He looked upon the villages with compassion! The Holy Spirit gave me a tender love, mercy, and grace for the hopeless and helpless through my grief! Jesus stood in the boat and said "Be quiet, be still".



Ministering in Koreatown was a continuous blessing having Pastor Jacob and his four young men from Korea at my side. In spite of the needs, problems, and lacks, they arose at 4am daily, and came down to the business, went into the church, and prayed on their faces for over two-hours, to start the day! They were so devoted to the Lord, it was awesome to behold His Glory! The Lord was faithful. He filled the church with people, and supplied all the provisions we needed. We were blessed with many miracles, salvations, conversions,and healings. Many homeless and unemployed became volunteers in our food ministry! Blessings beyond expectations! Our networking ministry grew, and we had over twenty churches working with us weekly.

During the 1992 Korean Riots, my energy was exhausted. Late one dark-cold night, a young homeless man talked with me, as we were feeding people on the sidewalk, after the service. His words tugged at my heart for hours! The Lord gave me this poem when I got home, to help me understand a little more!


THE HOMELESS SAID:
"They've denied and lied
Living in the streets,where do we hide?
We're hungry, cold and some have died."
Lifting weary hands, I prayed and cried.
Dear Lord, the poor are cast aside!
Dear Sweet Jesus, Please let me see.
How can I help set these people free?
He softly whispered His Holy Key.
A perfect circle in which to be,
And occupied by only Me!
