On My Heart
As the 35th anniversary of my freedom approaches, I am pondering all God has done and yet bewildered by what I see happening to our culture
As I watch the culture decaying before my eyes, I ask the Lord for wisdom and clarity in the chaos. What I am coming away with is two distinct and parallel callings upon my life - two declarations:
1) The enemy has done a number on our culture concerning our very human identity. If we look at and operate from the Creator's design for us, we easily and logically see that when one is born a male, he is a man and should pursue the masculine identity. It follows that when one is born a female, she is a woman and should pursue the feminine identity. Wrong feelings simply declare that a lie is being believed somewhere in the thought process. Our enemy is THE Liar and his only power is deception. Oversimplification? I donât believe so! Jesus has been setting people free from stinkin' thinkin' regarding sexuality for thousands of years now! Just read this:
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 NASB
2) The church has fallen into the deception and, in so doing, has watered down the Gospel. Oversimplification? I do not believe so! When is the last time you heard a sermon calling people to repentance from their sin? When is the last sermon you heard declaring the power of the blood? When is the last sermon you heard calling people to the cross of Christ? We have become so concerned about how people feel that we have often completely abandoned the Truth! This generation is headed for traffic. Who will step between them and the oncoming destruction?
My prayer is that my life would communicate the Truth without compromise yet communicate the hard facts of Truth with great compassion and love for those I see headed for sure destruction.

Prayer Request
I have three things I would ask that you cover in pray. First, this past week I had interviews with Oklahoma's 2 largest newspapers. I had a great interview with The Daily Oklahoman and it should be in the Sunday or weekend edition. She had done her homework and knew me from an interview I did last year after the Governor asked me to minister at the Memorial Service for the victims of the May 2013 tornadoes in OK. She told me her editors were requiring her to speak with detractors as well. I told her I expected as much and that I was fine with that. The interviewer from The Tulsa World asked me why I would share my story when it was so politically incorrect. I told him I shared because I remember hoping someone would tell me change was possible when I was a young man...and no one ever did...and that I shared for those who struggle with unwanted same sex attraction to know they can seek God for their identity. Please pray for the interviewers who will now turn around and write the story...that God would be glorified above all and that people's hearts would be turned toward Jesus. THANK YOU for praying! I could not do this without you. We are the body...
Secondly, please pray for all those who are skeptical who will see the film and/or read the book that the truth of Jesus would set them free to experience the abundance of life found in knowing Jesus. People often tell me I am not really changed - just suppressing who I really am. That's the furthest thing from the truth. I am utterly, irrevocably who my Father says I am...and I am changed.
Lastly, join me in prayer over the entire Sing Over Me movie and book teams…that fear would be replaced with perfect love. Pray for protection and grace to minister for the 7 Oklahoma churches that will be hosting the simulcast of the documentary. And pray for those who curse the film and book. Ask the Lord to open their eyes and their minds to THE Truth of Jesus and His ability to heal. Ask Him to give you love for them and to help you see them as He does.
Blessings,
DJ

The Christmas Dream is the story of a little boy who loves Christmas. He loves the festivities. He loves the decorations. He loves the wonder of Christmas. He loves everything about it. One night, he falls asleep and is transported into a realm where he meets God, and God teaches him about the true meaning of Christmas. Told as an adventure, Dennis Jernigan designed The Christmas Dream as a means of teaching his own son about the meaning of Christmas. This story can serve as a valuable tool in leading your child or grandchild to a saving faith in Jesus Christ. It also serves to remind the adult reader to not stray too far from the wonder of Christmas . . . and to have a childlike faith.
