Seven Blessings for Considering the Poor Dear Subscriber, You have been part of our Internet Ministry for a while now. You have seen the faith building material we have sent you. The fact that you are still with us speaks for itself. You recognize what faith building quality you have in our material. Large or small, you have been a vital part of what Corky and I are trying to do. Let me start, however, with a Scripture that penetrates deeply into the hearts of those who ponder it: Psalms 41:1-3 KJV 1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. 2 The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. 3 The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

Count the blessings in these three verses for simply “considering the poor.” There are seven blessings linked to simply “considering the poor.” My letter, here, is about simply “considering the poor.” I have written to you before that we target Africa to receive our free, faith building material. As I target this, I am “considering the poor,” because these dear people could never get this material if they had to pay for it. Somewhere in 1999 or 2000, our Lord showed me His will is to make this material free to all. I balked! I asked, “If I make this material free, how will I pay for it and how will I pay for my own living in the process?” Nevertheless, He never let up on me about it, so I did what He said. Now, Africa and everyone else can get all my works in eBook format absolutely free. But they all need to know about it and where to get it. This is where you come in. Please help me advertise our website on the Search Engines so they can know about it and get it. Now look at this old, home spun saying we’ve heard since we were children. It goes something like this. “It is better to teach a man how to fish that it is to just give him a fish.” We have both heard this all our lives. But I can’t give the people in Africa any fish. I cannot fund it for them. But I can give them what I have that will help them from now on. Notice what Peter said to the man at the Gate Beautiful. Acts 3:6 KJV 6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. 1

Peter freely gave what he had. I am doing the same thing. Peter made no charge. Neither do I. Why? We simply “consider the poor.” For starters, we link our African ads to the most important link we have: The Battle Healing Prayer. The URL is http://jaysnell.org/healingprayer.htm It is available in both HTML and PDF. Go to the URL: above, scroll down the page and click on the HTML or PDF links for your free Battle Healing Prayer. I could send copies of letters sent to me from pastors in Africa thanking me for our Internet Ministry over there. But the reason I don’t include any letters of praise anymore is because this has become so complicated and therefore dangerous to do it. See this twenty page document at the following URL: http://jaysnell.org/ASGPDF/internetlegalese.pdf Consequently, I rarely use letters praising our Internet Ministry anymore and now you know why. It is too risky. It is almost against the law to use them at all so I don’t. My dear Subscriber, if you have never given to our ministry before, I am asking you point-blank and out-right, to become my regular, financial partner to carry on this oneof-a-kind Internet Ministry. In so doing, you will help me “consider the poor.” Pray about giving $100.00 each month. Give more if you can or give less if you must…but please help me. If you have given to us before, I am asking you to continue supporting us in the amount of your regular monthly offering to help me advertise our message on Bing and/or Google adwords advertising. Give more if you can but of course, give less if you have to. But please help me “consider the poor” in Africa. I have received so many invitations to come personally to Africa and minister in their churches and area meetings. I cannot go there and still have the time necessary to keep writing free, faith building materials for the Internet that will help and bless them, even in my absence. Through our writings I can still keep on keeping on “considering the poor!” My dear co-laborer in the Lord, please help me. Please continue to help me! Partner with me. Stand with me in “considering the poor.” Make your check payable to Covenant Center Church in at the amount of $100.00 (or whatever amount you can) as your regular offering. Seven blessings are promised to you because you are “considering the poor.” Thank you dear friend… Now, I feel I should give more prominence to the seven blessings that follow our “considering the poor.” Here are the blessings in easy to grab format. 2

LORD will deliver him in time of trouble LORD will preserve him Lord shall keep him alive Lord shall be blessed upon the earth Lord will not deliver him unto the will of his enemies LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing Lord will make all his bed in his sickness

These Seven Blessings are promised to us because the Seed of Abraham (into which we Christians are grafted) just “considers the poor!” Here is a Promise containing Seven Blessings spelled out for us today, from the Old Testament by King David, himself, to press upon us how God rewards our actions of “considering the poor” now, today. I am appealing to you to help me buy more advertising on the Search Engines (Adwords etc.) in my quest to provide our in-depth, quality material absolutely free to our poor Christian friends in Africa. Now, in addition to the Seven Blessings above, may I also appeal to you for Search Engine Advertising Support based on the longevity, the integrity and the deep quality of the material on our Website. Concerning the longevity, we have been online continuously since 1996. We have never used but two Internet Service Providers in all this time. The one we use now has been home for our website continuously for well over a decade. The only time our website has ever been offline was the few minutes it took to transfer it from the original server to the one where it has been for the last decade. Concerning integrity, our website has never been involved in spam projects of any kind. It has never been involved in anything that would bring a smear on our Lord in any way. Our website has remained upright in any and all things. We have a good reputation with the Search Engines. We have never been investigated for behavior that departs from their guidelines of ethical and correct behavior. We can and do advertise with the biggies through their Adwords programs or equivalents, and have for years. Concerning the deep quality of the things I have written, consider the complete documentation I provide on our complete books. We document every teaching in them to the fullest, with the names, page numbers, names of authors, names of publishers, dates of publication and contact information in all the Greek and Hebrew lexicons, grammars and commentaries. 3

The reason for this is very simple. When our Lord told me to write the first four books on the Abrahamic covenant, He also told me how to write them. He wanted all the documentation to be this complete. He wanted it to be as thorough as I was capable of doing. All this research, thinking through, praying through and writing it all down the way He instructed me, took seven years of my life. He said document it the way I show you and the critics cannot laugh you out of the park. (How easy it would have been to write, without the absolute, complete documentation.) Nevertheless, our blessed Lord wanted the full documentation and that is exactly what I gave him. (I am required to say that other ministries also have longevity, integrity and deep quality. I am also required to say that not everyone will see longevity, integrity nor deep quality in the writings of our ministry.) In February 1993, I appeared the first time with Paul and Jan Crouch on TBN. Just before the program, Paul commented to me about these books and their documentation. Paul said to me, “You have done your homework and the way you documented your books forces the critics to rewrite the grammars and lexicons to be able to refute what you have written.” Later that first night, when our dear sister Jan introduced me the first time to the TBN audience, she looked right into the camera and said, “This man has written some books on the Abrahamic covenant. You can ridicule them. You can revile them. You can reject them. But you cannot refute them!” Thank you dear Paul and Jan. This material is helping the dear people in Africa. We receive letters that we do not include any more. Again, please see the twenty page document at the following URL: http://jaysnell.org/ASGPDF/internetlegalese.pdf This will show you why we no longer include praise letters. I feel so strongly about reaching Africa where they cannot pay for our material, I am asking you again, to please help me reach them. Stay with me! Be my financial partner on a regular, monthly basis to help pay for advertising on the Search Engines. You and others like you are the answer here. Our website has been up and running non-stop about seventeen years, but Africa has to find the website to get the free material we make available. The best way to be sure they can find it is to advertise it on the Search Engines. To help me reach Africa, please make your check payable to Covenant Center Church and mail it now, here, today, to the following address: 4
