Jordan's Easter Message

 

From Jewel:

Jordan, I am truly honored! I love you, and I appreciate your friendship and thoughtfulness more than I can say!

My Brother, Jordan

 

“My mind is made up, my heart is fixed, and I am going with Jesus all the way.” ~ Jordan

I just finished reading the book of Job in the Old Testament, and each time I read this wonderful man's story, I think of Jordan. I've said this before, but Jordan truly is a modern-day Job, because of the persecution he faces daily, heaped upon him by Satan through the words and deeds of others. No matter how badly he is treated, no matter how much he is neglected by the very people who should be ministering to him in heart, body, and spirit, Jordan stays true and faithful to Jesus Christ. His Savior and Redeemer is the most important person in his life, and no matter how much adversity is heaped upon Jordan, he turns neither right nor left. He stays fixed on the Lord.

Jordan expressed to me how hard it is to have no ecclesiastical support and how no one seems to understand just how badly he suffering, physically and emotionally, with the exception of his doctors and his caregiver. Again, I reminded Jordan that nothing man does is ever hidden from the Lord, and there will be an accounting of the neglect of His children, as well as the evil deeds done. There will also be an accounting of the hearts that are faithful to the Lord.

I also reminded Jordan that the "Jesus" people have created today is not the Jesus I know and love. The Lord has told us that He cannot accept sin in the least degree. So, for those who tout and preach over the pulpits a Jesus who loves unconditionally, regardless of our choices, their day of truth will come. For those who support, accept, and embrace sin, their day of truth will come.

This is a time of getting our houses in order, and that time is coming to an end sooner than we think. This is something Jordan has been doing his best to accomplish from the moment he gave his life over to Christ. For so long, he was a pawn in a chess game of those who have an agenda, and now that the Lord has taken the control out of evil hands, Jordan is being left alone without support at a time when he needs it most.

Yes, Jordan is a modern-day Job, and he is just as faithful. Just as the Lord sees into Jordan's heart and knows him, He knows the rest of us.

These are the days that hidden things are being brought to light, including the things hidden in our hearts. Jordan's heart is an open book, and just the Lord healed him from the trauma of his childhood, His holy angels now walk with him, comforting him and taking account of all things.

I love Jordan. He has truly been a blessing in my life and the lives of my family. His worth in my eyes, and in the eyes of God, is greater than he knows. His life is priceless, and his obedience to the Lord is known and recorded in heaven.

Update on Jordan

 

I felt impressed to highlight this encouraging comment from Jordan's special friend:-)

This flyer describes the Christmas Dinner at the Park where Jordan found a warm dinner to celebrate Christmas for himself and his disabled neighbor. For the past ten years Jordan has handed out hot baked potatoes to his homeless neighbors in the morning before church each Sunday. That was until his concussion on 9-11-19. This Christmas, instead, Jordan was served Christmas dinner by the homeless community. Jordan is resilient with his love for Jesus, who had no place offered to him when he needed it. Jordan is a person who realizes the value of being able to live and not be judged like so many of the people who have nobody, and nowhere to call home. Jordan’s concussion has changed his life forever, but he continues to want to share his life and hope, and to find ways to help children who have suffered abuse and abandonment.

I’ve just finished reading the first children’s book that Jordan wrote: “Pieces of Cakes.” It is an animated and engaging format to present the idea that we each are different from one another, but can work together to make a new and interesting whole. I’m looking forward to reading the next two of his children’s books (“We’re Going to Make It, After All!”, and “New York City on New Years Eve”. Since his concussion Jordan has not been able to read or write, so I’m reading each of his books with gratitude for the opportunity to learn more about my friend.

I am so grateful to Jewel Adams for helping Jordan develop as an author, so he has had the opportunity to extend positivity and hope to children and their families. I look forward to reading his other two children’s books, and will let you know my experience with them. Seeing someone act with so much kindness makes me even more aware of how essential kindness is for each of us to give and to receive. Thanks for all you do, Jewel.

Ruth, Jordan’s visiting angel

Tender Thoughts for Jordan

Email from a fan:

"I just wanted to tell you I finished "Out of the Closet Into the Light" in about 2 hours,  I couldn't put it down.  The only thing that got me through the heartbreaking and devastating stories of Jordan's childhood was knowing how the book would end,  so I kept pushing on. I just wanted to tell you it has blessed me greatly,  and before I read it,  I was crying in prayer over a few things in my life I need to fully give to God. And when I read Jordan's prayer at the end of the book,  I felt great peace that the Father had just confirmed in my heart and spirit through that prayer, that He is right here in the midst of it all, loving and caring and faithful to all his promises! 

I can't thank you enough and was hoping you could let Jordan know that I am so grateful for his testimony and it has impacted me greatly! I saw on his blog that he is enduring great trials and testing,  and I want him to know there are people he has never met that are praying for him!" ~Joshua
