Whether it’s just a casual “how are you?” or a heartfelt, “sit down and tell me what’s going on in your life,” or a caring comment on Facebook… friends can bring you great joy and comfort.
Proverbs 17:17 says, “A friend loves you all the time, and a brother helps in time of trouble.” That goes for sisters, too!
There are many people who know Jim and me because we are public figures, and more and more of them are becoming closer to us as we experience the signs of Revelation. I have had people write in and tell us that we are their “family” and I have to tell you, that really touches my heart and we feel the same way.
The truth is, if we are born again, we are family!
Jim often says that as the world falls apart, the Church will come together. I believe that. Why? Because our focus shifts to the important things and we are no longer so “me and my four” centered. Social media is just another way that we can come together and support one another.
We can see in our country and in our world how evil is increasing and so is Christian persecution. It will take all of us, standing together as one, to fight that evil.
When we can put aside our petty differences and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with one another in love, support and comfort, we will see the Light of the World shine very brightly for all to see! That Light will draw others, and the Harvest will be great!
I believe it’s happening! I really do. I see people reaching out to each other and to us and I hear a new sound of love in the things they are saying.
So, I just wanted to take this opportunity to tell you all that Jim and I love you dearly, and we appreciate each and every one of you. There are people we haven’t even met yet, but who we feel we know because of their on-line expressions of love and support. We love to read them, we really do! We can’t always respond to each one, but we want you to know that what you say matters to us and makes a difference in our lives!
We hope we are making a difference in yours!
Love,
Even though we have never met, I still feel like you and Jim

Dear pastor jim and lorrie: I love you both so much, and appreciate that your are telling us the truth and trying to get everyone ready for what is happening. Lorrie, I have been through what you have been through. It took great courage for you to share this. You have ministered to me. Deborah
Lori, i have always said that i want to be the kind of person people see God in, they dont even have to know my name or see me cause i’m not the important one, just as long as they get to know my GOD!!! i dont have to be famous or a public figure, i just want to please GOD in everyway.
dear lori i have some good friends in church and i like the jim baker show a lot too. i know we are in the last days some people believe in a secret rapture but if they read in matt 24 and the words of Jesus there is nothing secret about it. and rev it says every eye shall see him even those who picred him. love connie
Thank you so much….we feel the same way about you guys too!!
Shalom,
Leslie 🙂
Oh my goodness…. the way you articulate your heart is so “magnanimous” Lori! =0) I just love it… love you! Your blog today made me chuckle a touch of reality! I see you guys everyday along with the “No Show, Show” (when I can catch it)and feel like I know you guys all personally…ha ha yet…. if I were to walk onto Grace Street tomorrow and see You or Tammy Sue face to face you guys would not know me from Adam or Eve!!! LOL!
Yet as the Golden Oldie “The Family of God” by Gloria Gaither and the story of how the precious lyrics came to be written, speaks volumes to us today in the Family of God! We need each other and I’m thankful God through His own hearts desire created “Relationship”… in all ways! He knew we would ALL need it!
My most favorite part of your blog was:
When we can put aside our petty differences and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with one another in love, support and comfort, we will see the Light of the World shine very brightly for all to see! That Light will draw others, and the Harvest will be great!
I shout a hearty AMEN and GLORY HALLELUJAH! Now to be and to teach how to become a doer of that word… I loved it when Rick Joyner said: “The dark will get darker, but the Light will also get brighter”… I love that when things are out of our control we have “Friends & Family” all because of Jesus, and one day we shall all meet one another… truly what a day of rejoicing that will be!

PS Your hair looks GREAT! LOL… I LOVED the story! In all the seriousness of the world’s happenings, no one can EVER tell me our God does not have a sense of humor! After all He made us!
I do so appreciate you both and am praying for you.
