I met you about 25 years ago at a church you were speaking at in Phoenix, Arizona. I can't remember the name. After you finished speaking, I quietly waited in the back of the crowd that swarmed you to give you a letter to deliver to your then secretary. What I remember the most about that day....is seeing Jesus in your eyes. Even after I left the church a few years later filled with doubt and questions searching many religions for the answers I never forgot that day I saw Jesus in you. I use to pass out your Jesus stickers as I street witnessed in those days. After 24 years of wandering in the wilderness, in the darkness, today G-d answered me through a series of increasingly dark dreams of the last days. When I dreamed of hell and the anguish of those who were trapped and the watchers who closely guard those gates against anyone being saved.....All my doubts and questions about Yeshua being G-d's Son and our Moshiach was gone in an instant and now
I KNOW that He is. And then I remembered you. Thank you. Patricia
Your "Life Lessons from the Road", Vol 1, title- "How to Judge Others" was a big help to me! Didn't know there were so many verses dealing with not judging. Haven't heard many preachers touch on this. It was good to be reminded that all truth will be revealed one day and that we don't have to justify ourselves here and now. God is indeed a just Judge. Thank you for the "Weekly Life Teachings-Lessons from the Road" series. There is so much truth in them!
I have to apologize to you for thinking that you were some kind of nut for carrying the cross all over the world. I repent of being so shortsighted and ignorant that Jesus had called you to this mission. I read your book and it was one of the most profound experiences I have ever had reading a book. I am so ashamed of myself of thinking the shallow thought I had about you. I have never read about anyone who had such a intimate walk with the Lord. Now I pray to the Lord, "Lord, give me the sweet, loving,
commpationate heart of Arthur Blessitt. Thank you for your book and your obedience to the Lord. You have deep affected my thinking and the profound insight you have giving me to be more obedient to the Lord's voice and obey what He wants me to do.God Bless you sweet Arthur, Theresa
I now live in UK and Australia (depending where the ministry workload is. In Australia I have a friend named Pastor Dan Armstrong from Toronto NSW north ofSydney, who sends me his newsletter regularly. Dan ministers a lot to the Aboriginal people and in his latest newsletter has included an amazing story of how you led a drunk aboriginal man named Mile Williams to Jesus on one of your visits to Australia. The account is in the newsletter page attached, together with a summary of what has happened in Mike’s life and ministry since. I don’t know if you knew these facts but I trust they will encourage you.
Sue and I have just returned
from a ministry trip to the outback.
We stayed at Mimili community at the home of an aboriginal couple called Mike and Tapi Williams.
Mike is the Pastor of the Mimili community church and for many years
he has travelled throughout the APY
Lands evangelising and encouraging the local churches. In doing so he has endured much hardship and personal suffering. In sharing his experiences with me as we sat on his verandah
late into the night it sounded like St. Paul telling of his struggles to preach the gospel in his day (2 Cor. 6).
With a twinkle in his eye Mike
said to me that about the only thing he didn’t share was being shipwrecked which would be a little difficult in the desert!
Mike, as a young man, had been wild and dissolute, spending his days fighting and in an alcoholic haze, without hope. One day he and a group of his cronies were in Alice Springs in the dry bed of the Todd River sleeping off a huge drinking binge. Mike said,
“I just happened to open my eyes
and saw an amazing sight. A tall white fella was walking along the path at the side of the river bed carrying a big white wooden cross.” Mike staggered to his feet and called, “What you doin’, what you doin’.” The man stopped and
PO Box 516 Toronto NSW 2283 Australia
said, “My name is Arthur Blessitt and I am travelling around the World telling people what this cross is all about!”
Arthur put down the cross and sat
on the ground and told
Mike the
Gospel story, that Jesus died for the sins of the World and especially
for Mike’s sins. Then he stood, lifted the
huge cross onto his shoulders and began to walk along the path.
“Let me help you” Mike called out, and for a little distance he carried the cross for the white fella. Just before they parted Arthur Blessitt turned to Mike and said, “One day you are going to take up the cross and follow Jesus wherever He will call you to go”. As we sat on the verandah under the Milky Way, the Southern Cross shining so brightly
Mike said, “Those words pierced my
heart, and forgiveness and love for Jesus rang in my ears until I gave Him my life and took up my cross and followed Him”. I saw the tears of thankfulness in Mike’s eyes and thought that Arthur Blessitt probably has no idea what followed from his brief encounter with an unkempt character who staggered up from the dry river bed and helped him carry the cross. But Arthur’s faithfulness to Jesus that day brought another soul into the Kingdom who took up his cross and led many others to Jesus, many of whom are out in the desert country today doing the same.
Mike is planning a great gathering from all the communities next Easter.
The Theme he has chosen is “It’s
time to come back to the cross” “This is the intervention that is needed in aboriginal communities” says Mike. It is what is needed in
every village, town and city throughout this Nation, to be reminded again of what Jesus has done for us all.
IT’S TIME TO TAKE UP OUR CROSS AND FOLLOW JESUS
More e mails of the power of Jesus soon.
Pilgrim followers of Jesus,
Arthur and Denise Blessitt, Luke 18:1
