I want to share a message of faith, hope and joy with you. And along with this are some exciting things to tell you. Because these events in my life reflect God's Word, I feel compelled to tell you my exciting praise report using His words, words which shall accomplish what they set out to do.(1)

Wow! His mercy endures forever!(2) God has been doing great things (3) for me. God shall supply all our needs.(4) God has opened some doors and has begun to work miracles to deliver His servant.(5) I always knew He'd never forsake me.(6) God will supply my needs.(7) As we are workers together with Him(8), or as it says in another place "For we are laborers together with God; you are God's "garden" [also translated "husbandry"]."(9)

How did I get to be so joyful? I prayed, "Let me not be ashamed, 0 LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave. Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous."(10) And further, "0 satisfy us early with thv mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days."(11)

This whole thing began as JER 1:17--"Thou [the prophet] therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I confound thee before them. For behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land. And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee."(12)

And the response of those in power? They responded in line with God's Word which says, "The kings [rulers] of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against His anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.... Be wise now therefore, 0 ye Kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way..."(13)
God responds to this: "Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation..."(14)

So the "roaring lion"(15), his wicked rulers, and their false witnesses(16) sought to do me evil. "For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life."(17)

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."(18)
Still they threw me in prison and smeared my name. And all these things were meant to happen. Thank our good LORD.

"Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than the lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you..." (19)

God is not fazed or disturbed in all these things, because He knows that His Spirit can lead me and sustain me.(20)

For..."Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.. he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water..." (21)...a tree which can not be plucked out by its roots.

"He [the Lord] gives power to the weak."(22) Boy that describes inmates, because of anyone they are a people who are stripped of most of their personal power.

Then He tells us "Wait on the Lord"(23). His solutions don't always come as fast as we'd like.
"Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart. Wait I say, on the LORD!"(24)

"...Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away. Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God..."(25) And "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?"(26) So we should hang in there and wait on the Lord. We realize that He looks down and hears the groaning of the prisoner.(27) "The pangs of death surrounded me. And the flood of ungodliness made me afraid .... In my distress I called upon the LORD, And cried out to my God; He heard voice from His temple..."(28)

At times I did feel overwhelmed. "My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."(29)

But no matter what, I know the truth of JER 1:19, "And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee."(30) Yes they will fight against us, but they shall not prevail. "The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my prayer. Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return and be ashamed suddenly."(31) I have found that "The Lord hears in the day of trouble."(32)

Yes, we are our brother's keeper.(33) We bear each other's burdens.(34) That is why I stuck my neck on the chopping block to save God's people and His churches during this day of apostasy. The purity and holiness of God's people is very important.

God warns, "Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey."(35) "The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, 0 virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned ...For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he."(36)

God's Spirit has begun working to get me out of prison. He has shown me that He can and will do it. But He will need to provide some more finances. I don't care how He provides for what He is doing. I have an immediate need for $10,000 for some legal fees. This is a small amount compared to what legal fees run. I open my heart to you, and if God has provided you with something to help financially in what He has begun doing, by all means share it, and make a deposit of treasure in heaven.

I also solicit your prayers, because the work God is doing in my life was unleashed by the prayers of His holy people.

"Let your needs be known." (37) --And the early church provided "as every man had need". (38)

If you can help send your gift of help to:

Patricia Springmeier
700 N. Colorado &G. #126
DENVER., CO 80206

Indicate to her that your gift is to help what the Lord is doing to get Fritz out of prison and vindicated legally.

Faith is the victory! Lord willing, when the Lord gets me out of prison I'll be able to write more in detail about the Lord's merciful miracles which are happening at this time period.

We serve a good God, lots of love in Christ,

Fritz A. Springmeier
