Sports.

[Written and Emailed to the Body of Christ Jesus in the year 2007 by Albert LeRoy Jones.]


       To The Body of Christ Jesus, All of GOD's People (Jew & Gentile), All Believers in The One & Only True Living Sovereign Holy Lord GOD Almighty Yeshua Jesus Christ. Brothers & Sisters, I come to you with an Undoubted Message from The Lord of Hosts (Yeshua Jesus Christ). I would like to teach & enlighten you to something that The Lord GOD Almighty YAHWEH Yeshua Immanuel has revealed to me as one of the greatest opportunities that The Church has to reach the masses (the whole world) with The Truth/The Word of GOD. Brothers & Sisters, the events that regularly take place in this world, that gathers more of mankind (and GOD's Children) together more than anything else is all of the major sporting events that take place throughout the world. Events like the Summer and Winter Olympics, the Soccer (futbol) World Cup, the NFL Super Bowl, the NBA All-Star Game, the Major League Baseball World Series, the College Football National Championship & other Bowl Games, the NCAA Basketball Tournament and many other events, professional and amateur, throughout the world, at all levels. We The Church (The Body of Christ Jesus), should take full advantage of these venues of mankind (world gatherings), to exercise Our Evangelism of bringing the world to The Knowledge & Truth of The Saving Grace of GOD (YAHWEH Yeshua Immanuel, The GOD of Abraham, Isaac, Israel and All of Their Descendants) while Blessing others with Our Faith, Gifts, Anointing, Ministry and Witness (All A Manifestation of GOD's Awesome Power). The largest buildings in most of our communities that houses the most people (an audience) at a time are usually the sports arenas and stadiums regularly used for sporting events. Evidence of this comes from The Largest Church Congregation in the United States of America (Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas) which operates inside of a renovated, formerly used NBA Basketball Arena. There are also other smaller venues for sports at multiple sites in our communities (in every metropolitan area) such as parks, community centers and private institutions such as the YMCA and YWCA (Young Men and Women Christian Associations). The Church (The Body of Christ Jesus, All of GOD's People) should take advantage of not only these sporting venues but also the events held there as a way to reach others with The Truth/The Gospel/The Word of GOD. I myself enjoy watching and participating in sporting events, especially in my own community. I enjoy watching the professional sporting events such as the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies Basketball and also many amateur events such as Memphis Athletic Ministries (A Christian Campaign for youth involvement in sports). I, Albert LeRoy Jones, was introduced to sports at a very young age (age 4) when my father, James Edward Jones Sr., made sure that I & my older brother, James Edward Jones Jr., learned and got involved with sports (and we, I & my brother, did not have a choice whether we wanted to participate, for it was our father's instruction and his word was law). One thing that my father taught was that sports are good for the mind, body, heart and soul and the development of a young man. Brothers & Sisters in Christ Jesus, I totally agree with my earthly father's teaching and understanding of the importance of sports, even from a Religious/GODLY Standpoint. By The Grace of GOD, Sports kept me & my older brother out of trouble & turmoil (more so it was our fear of our father/daddy) growing up in the rough & tough urban inner city of the South-Side of Chicago before we knew or understood anything about religion or knowing GOD's Will. For sports were Created by GOD Himself. And We should All be active in sports in All ways (not only to use for Evangelism). I like to keep myself in shape (good physical condition) by exercising (aerobics, weight lifting, etc.) and throwing & catching a football or baseball or shooting hoops (playing basketball) or even playing soccer with the young ones around me. It is fulfilling physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually and also fun for the soul. Brothers & Sisters, I rebuke any religious person, any so-called minister, pastor, rabbi, priest or preacher who shuns sports (playing sports or even watching sporting events). For those people judgments are inspired by the evil one (the devil). Yes, I do go that far in saying that (Yes it is True), Amen! Brothers & Sisters, we should All know (for common sense given to us by GOD's Holy Spirit, Immanuel) that we do not put sports nor anything before The Lord Our GOD (Yeshua Jesus Christ). Which is why We should take those things regarded as secular to use as tools for Christian Evangelism. Not only do many of GOD's People watch sporting events, but also many athletes (professional and amateur) participating in sporting events are GOD's Children (Believers in The Lord Yeshua Jesus Christ). Brothers & Sisters, do not be confused, but use Righteous Judgment, for there are some sports and things done in & around some sports that are not Righteous/GODLY (but are inspired and influenced by the evil one). Historical examples are some like the blood thirsty sporting events that took place within the Roman Coliseum during the days of the wicked cesars (rulers of the Roman empire), which even featured Christians & Jews being eaten alive by wild beast and slaughtered by gladiators & beast. There are some sports of our time (today) that I rebuke such as ultimate fighting (UFC and Pride Fighting Championships), pit fighting (between mankind and between animals) and fight clubs, because these sports praise deliberate blood thirsty spite & violent assault against GOD's Creation (American Football does not fit under that description/type of sport). And there are some things done in & around some sports that are unRighteous/unGODLY such as brawls (fighting & rioting) in & at/around basketball, hockey, soccer, baseball and football games and also dancers & cheer leaders dressed in lewd, explicit, sexually revealing clothing and making/performing sexually explicit lewd body movements & dancing. Brothers & Sisters, we as Believers/GOD's Children (Christians & Jews) have the opportunity to influence, inspire, clean-up, govern and judge the sports world (All sports in all the world) from violence, sexual immorality, gambling, drunkenness (alcohol abuse), drug-abuse/drug usage and unGODLY speech & attitude. I give This Message as A Command to The Church from The Lord GOD Almighty to use Sports as GOD (YAHWEH Yeshua Immanuel) Created and Intended for Sports to be used by mankind/All Creation! The Word of GOD for The People of GOD in Yeshua Jesus Christ Hallowed Name, Yes it is True, Amen & Amen!
