SUDDENLY!!! 12/25/22
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE DRUCKERS! 12/25/18
I awoke (PRAISE THE LORD FOR AWAKENING AGAIN!!) this morning at around 7 AM and rolled Amanda into see what Santa Clause had left her-then it was back to bed where I arose again (see above!) and slept till the crack of 11:30 AM.
ANOTHER Christmas is in the books as we prepare for the New Year!
I received my Christmas gift in the form of an UN-EXPECTED MESSAGE from my son Joshua Drucker-I know it will bless and warm your hearts as you read his words.
I titled it "SUDDENLY!"
Luke 2:13 (KJV)
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
GOD IS A GOD OF SUDDENLY!!!
Please keep the Ingram family, (Jo Anne and Kevin) in PRAYER as Jo Anne prepares to meet the Lord in Heaven soon.
Also please remember the many sick and suffering in the hospital on this great day
MAY GOD'S RICHEST BLESSINGS BE UPON YOU AND YOURS!
Pastor Doug and Family
UPDATE FROM JOSHUA!!!!
Written by: Joshua Drucker
It is Christmas Eve night as I type these words. I am laying on my bed at HAYS STATE PRISON as I meditate on scriptures, rejoice over my new freedom and ponder my next step in life.
A dear friend of mine (hello Angela) sent me a email and asked "why" I wasn't posting much lately. She also was wondering if the "fire was burning out" , and maybe that was the reason why I wasn't writing as much. Angela is a friend of mine from our "drug days". She also went to prison and had a encounter with God. She is now sober and happily married as she continues on the strait and narrow path that leads to life.
My answer to her question is "no". The fire isn't burning out. I am now on my forth tablet in 2 years. I seem to have bad luck with them. Most inmates are still using their original tablet but mine keeps malfunctioning. As soon as I get a new one and get back in the groove of writing, it mysteriously breaks. Then I have to raise $107.00 for a new one, and then I have to wait for it to arrive.
This will be my first Christmas off of death row since 2010. I cannot even begin to explain to you the burden that has been lifted off of my shoulders. Honestly, being away from the "conditions" on death row is almost as great as escaping the "sentence" itself. That place was LIVING HELL.
I am seeking Gods face as I try to figure out my next step. Last year I began writing my autobiography. My aunt asked me today when was I going to finish it. The answer is "I don't know yet". I am praying that God will place someone in my life to help me write it, motivate me to write it, and also help me through the process. I DO believe that I have a story to tell that will bring glory to God.
I will continue to write sermons (as long as people desire to read them). I don't know how often. That is another thing that I am seeking God about.
During my younger years of ministry I was focused on "quantity". Every moment of everyday I felt like I needed to be "doing something". But now I have learn to wait on the Lord and "just sit" in His presence. I am now focused on resting in His presence and preparing a "quality" meal.
My dad said something very profound to me about 6 months ago. He said, "son, I wish that I would have spent more time chasing God than chasing other things in my early years of ministry". When he told me this he wasn't trying to be spiritual, nor was he trying to preach. He simply was telling me something that he probably wished that someone would have told his younger self.
I feel like I have been born again. I know that a fresh anointing has been poured on the head of this writer as I embark on a new season in life.
As I sat across from two other inmates in the day room a few days ago I said aloud, "man this is great". They looked at me like I was crazy. I then said to them, "on death row I was allowed out of my cell for one hour a day and that was barely enough time to take a shower and use the phone". I then proceeded to explain to them that it was a blessing for me to sit around and hang out without a guard banging on a window telling me to lock back down in my cell after 60 short minutes.
As you can see I don't have a "word" for you tonight. I just wanted to give a update on my present condition. I will say this though. From the moment that my attorney walked into the visitation room on death row with a plea deal, until the moment I left the death row cell, it was only 13 days. Before I could even gather my thoughts God delivered me. IT WAS SUDDENLY. Our God is a "suddenly" God.
Whatever you are praying for and expecting from God, KNOW that it will come suddenly.
He will deliver you, heal you and bless you so quick that you won't even have time to gather your thoughts. When my dad would suffer a set back from the devil he would often ask, "did anyone see the number on that train that just hit me"? When God gets done blessing you, you'll also ask, "did anyone see the number on that train that delivered a cargo of miracles".
Below is a saying that I stole from Bishop TD Jakes.
"IT DOESN'T HAVE TO LOOK LIKE ITS COMING TOGETHER FOR IT TO COME TOGETHER!!!!"
In closing, My heart goes out to Kevin and Jo Ann Ingram. Ms. Jo Ann could soon be with the Lord Jesus Christ. Her and Kevin were precious to me and my family over the years. Ms Jo Ann, if you are reading this I just want to say "thank you and I love both you and Kevin". I will see you soon. We all will.
Merry Christmas to all...
God Bless,
Joshua Drucker
