LETTER SEVEN

Dear Danae, Danita, Daniel, Danni, Danyelle Elizabeth, Danyel Ezekiel, Daniqua Grace, Danielle Tekeela, Duran, and Kywaizia:

Thanks to the Lord and to all of you, but especially, Danyel Ezekiel, Danyelle Elizabeth, and Daniqua Grace for a great Communion service and a great Standing Between the Living and the Dead Memorial Service despite technical difficulties.

Children, I thank God for all the wonderful letters that you wrote me when you were children and when you were teenagers and even as young adults when you had purer hearts, which Danita Evangeline put together in the book Dear Papa: Letters to my Father. I cherish those letters. The Holy Bible says in Ephesians 6:1-3: “Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.” 

My devotional iPhone “Text,” for today is Matthew 26:41: “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Again, I thank each of you children for helping in the ministry down through the years, but in recent years especially the youngest three children—Daniqua Grace, Danyel Ezekiel, and Danyelle Elizabeth, who have done just as good a job for the Lord as the older children, which is rare for younger children to do. Thank you for your prayers and your help. It is greatly appreciated.

Danae, Danita, Daniel, Danni, Danyelle Elizabeth, Danyel Ezekiel, Daniqua Grace, Danielle Tekeela, Duran, and Kywaizia, I love you all very much, and I am praying for you all. Please pray for me as well.

Love God and Jesus Christ First.

Love Papa Second.

Love,

Papa

P.S.: If you know something bad has happened to a sibling, is happening to a sibling, or you feel like a sibling is going in the wrong direction, pray for them and also let them know and let me know because if something bad happens to them, or if they get sick, or if they die, you are going to regret not telling the truth about it to them, to God, and to me.

For Those of You Who Are Reading This Book, LETTERS TO MY YOUNG ADULT CHILDREN AND TO A WOKE, DECEIVED AND UNLOVED GENERATION by Daniel Whyte III, if You do Not Know Jesus Christ as Your Savior, Allow me to Show You How to Place Your Faith and Trust in Him For Your Soul’s Salvation From Sin and Hell so That You Can Go to Heaven When You Die:

First, accept the fact that you are a sinner and that you have broken God’s law. The Bible says in Romans 3:23: “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”

Second, accept the fact that there is a penalty for sin. The Bible states in Romans 6:23: “For the wages of sin is death…”

Third, accept the fact that you are on the road to hell. Jesus Christ said in Mark 9:43-48: “And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.” Also, the Bible states in Revelation 21:8: “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”

Now that is bad news, but here’s the good news. Jesus Christ said in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Just believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead by the power of God for you so that you can live eternally with Him. Pray and ask Him to come into your heart today, and He will.

Romans 10:9 & 13 says, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved… For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

If you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ died on the Cross for your sins, was buried, and rose from the dead, and you want to trust Him for your Salvation today, please pray with me this simple prayer: Holy Father God, I realize that I am a sinner and that I have done some bad things in my life. I am sorry for my sins, and today, please fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me to repent of my sins. For Jesus Christ’s sake, please forgive me of my sins. I believe with all of my heart that Jesus Christ died for my sins, was buried, and rose from the dead on the third day by the power of God. I believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior and by Your grace, will follow Him as Lord of my life from this day forward. Lord Jesus Christ, please come into my heart and save my soul and change my life today. Amen.

Dear Friend, if you believed in your heart that Jesus Christ died on the Cross, was buried, and rose on the third day, according to God’s Word—the Bible you are now saved and on your way to Heaven. Allow me to say congratulations on doing the most important thing in life, which is believing in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour! For more information to help you grow in your newfound faith in Christ, read the booklet below titled “WHAT TO DO AFTER YOU ENTER THROUGH THE DOOR.” Jesus Christ said in John 10:9, “I am the DOOR: by me if any man enter in, he shall be SAVED, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.”

If you believed in Jesus Christ as your Savior today, please email me at [email protected] and let us know. There is some free material that we want to send you. If you have a prayer request, please email that to us, and we will pray for you until you tell us to stop.

God loves you. We love you. And may God bless you.

What to Do After You Enter Through the “DOOR”                           by Daniel Whyte III

Dear Friend, this booklet is primarily for people who have already entered through the “Door” of Life by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour. If you have not believed on Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour yet, please do so today by simply believing in Jesus Christ—that He died for your sins, that He was buried and rose on the third day, and by calling on His Name in prayer to save you.

“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Jesus Christ said, “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out and find pasture” (John 10:9).

I am convinced that there are many people who have entered through the “Door,” that is, they have been truly saved, but sadly no one ever sat down with them and told them correctly what they should do after they have entered through the “Door.”

Getting saved is most important, but what you do after you are saved is very important as well. Following are 7 things that you definitely need to do after you are saved:

1. Get Baptized. Matthew 28:19: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” It is very important that you obey the Lord and follow Him in Believers’ Baptism. Even if you were baptized at another time in your life, if you are just now truly getting saved, you still need to be baptized again because you were not saved the first time you were baptized. You see, we don’t get baptized to get saved, rather, we get baptized because we are saved.
2. Join with a good Bible-preaching, Bible-believing, and Bible-living church. Hebrews 10:25: “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” Let’s face it, everything that says church on it is not necessarily a church of the Lord Jesus Christ. For there are many false churches and teachers in the world.

Below are some marks of a good church:

1. The pastor preaches from the Word of God—the Bible, and he strives to practice what he preaches.
2. The church stands on the basics of the Christian faith. The basics of the Christian faith are:

The Bible is inspired by God
The Deity of Jesus Christ
The Blood Atonement for sin by Jesus Christ
Salvation by Faith in Jesus Christ
The imminent Return of Jesus Christ

1. An emphasis is put on reaching out to others with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
2. The love of Jesus Christ is shown.

These are just a few marks of a good church. Pray and follow the Lord’s leading.

1. Allow yourself to be trained or discipled. Matthew 28:20: “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” This will mean that you will have to humble yourself and listen to your pastor and those he appoints to help you. You see, becoming a Christian is something totally new to you and there are many important things that you will have to learn from others who are trained and have the experience.
2. Pray daily. Luke 18:1: “And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray and not to faint.” You will find that regular prayer unto God will be one of your greatest sources of strength, power and blessing.
3. Read your Bible daily. Romans 10:17: “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” As they say, “When you pray, you talk to God. When you read your Bible, God talks to you.” Do you want to live a vibrant, strong, useful and successful Christian life? Then you will want to read and meditate on your Bible daily.
4. Witness for Christ daily. Acts 1:8: “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” Jesus Christ commands us to witness for Him. One of the greatest joys you will ever have in this life is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with another person. A greater joy is to see them come to know your Saviour as their Saviour. So plant the seed everywhere you go and allow God to use you to “turn many from darkness to light.”

Congratulations on entering through the “Door” of Eternal Life by believing in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Trusting Jesus Christ, as your personal Saviour, is the most important thing you will ever do. Now that you are saved, let’s live for the One who died for us. God bless you as you serve Him.

1. If you are willing to follow Jesus Christ as one of His disciples, pray with me the following prayer: Holy Father, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, please forgive me of my sins and cleanse me of all of my sins and help me to truly repent of my sins, and help me to turn away from my evil lifestyle. Create within me a pure heart and a right spirit. Please help me to do the things that I just read, and grant me your grace to be a Christian that will glorify your name. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
