Writing From A Right Hand

"I watched my father die a thousand deaths: the dozens of strokes were merciless."
Picture



Although both of my pioneer missionary parents today rest in peace, awaiting their reward in eternity; neither of them, regretfully, departed without suffering.

I watched my father die a thousand deaths: the dozens of strokes were merciless.  Finally, one day, even his resounding voice was at last silenced.  If you ever heard him narrate a missionary slide presentation you know what I mean.   His anointed voice was gone, forever!

All the while, my precious mother continued caring for Dad; yet, she herself sensed her own fall into the void of a disease called Alzheimer. She KNEW!

How can I forget the day mother urgently summoned me to Dad´s hospital room?  As I walked in and saw all was well, my questioning face turned to her.  She answered my look and said: “Brad, today I am in my right mind. I just wanted you to know that I love you.”  Knowing that blank look of emptiness was not far away, we kissed and hugged.  Precious memories!

As we approach the beginning of another prophetic year, I suddenly realize that I too am nearing the same age as my parents when disease (and hell) damaged their bodies for the first time.



“Brad, today I am in my right mind. I just wanted you to know that I love you.”



So, I may not be far away from either of those maladies, yet today, this day, I am still in my right mind… thus I write:

Because of the fear of losing my right mind, I write the following statements as a public record, declaring to all that know me, that:

I believe there is only one way to be saved, as summarized in the book of Acts, and especially as enunciated in Acts 2:38.  The Bible is plain concerning this matter.  I declare this from my right mind.  Should I “lose” my grip on salvation doctrine in order to seek fame and fortune…, PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW ME DOWN TO THE HELL THAT WILL BE AWAITING ME!

I am an anointed minister of God’s Word, and as such I understand the Biblical principles concerning remarriage, especially in regard to the ministry.    Should I “lose” my mind and foolishly fall into immorality, please have no mercy on me as a preacher (do not allow me to contaminate the Apostolic Pulpit with my sin).  Rather, help me as a sinner find repentance as a prodigal saint nothing more.  Should I one day “lose” my mind, please be kind and supportive of my wife; she would not be the reason of my fall (it is so easy to blame the spouse for personal failure).

I stand for holiness, within and without.  Nowadays, it is so easy to “lose” sight and vision of our Holy God, by turning a blind eye to invading trends that erode purity and welcome worldliness.  I take my stand today, while in my right mind before the Eli syndrome knocks at my door and I “die” a shameful death caused by the sin of omission.  Pay me no mind if someday I “lose” the Holy Ghost and become carnal.

I have preached thousands of sermons that attest my Apostolic sanity.  Please use them as a testimony against me should I lose my RIGHT spiritual mind.

Should, however, mental or physical issues destroy my mind; please intern me where I will not hinder the progress of God’s Kingdom as I fade into a twilight zone.  If someday I can no longer proclaim my love for Jesus…, please say it for me.  I would appreciate that!

I write today because I am still in my right mind.

Bro. Brad Lambeth,

While I have never seen you preach or met you, I want you to know that you have impacted my life. I have had access to several of your sermons from my assistant Pastor. I have heard you preach about praying the impossible prayer and I was incredibly touched by it. I have heard you preach about Jesus being moved with compassion and healing and how compassion (feeling what the person you are praying for is feeling) is key when praying for others. I want to thank you sir for the work that you do for God, preaching the Word of God and being a great Godly example of what a Man of God looks like.
