Presenting Jesus - He still cares-
September/October 2017
INTRODUCTION: My name is Ronnie Christian. I am a rodeo cowboy who loves Jesus and wants to bring others to know Him. I am a Lifetime Gold Card Member of the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. VISION: Reach rodeo cowboys and cowgirls with the Good News that Jesus loves them and Jesus Saves. Through this, their families, friends, and the many people they contact around the world, including ranchers and others in the horse and livestock industry will know God cares for them and Jesus is Lord. EXPECTATION: See people saved, set free, healed spiritually, physically, and emotionally, filled with the Holy Sprit, and living a life pleasing to God.
The Greatest Blessing Forgiveness Of Sin Romans 4:7-8 New King James Version (NKJV) 7 “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, And whose sins are covered; 8 Blessed is the man to whom the LORD shall not impute sin.” 8 “BLESSED IS THE MAN WHOSE SIN THE LORD WILL NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT.” In the New American Standard Bible). I read the Scripture above in my morning reading recently and thought, “This is the greatest blessing!- to have our sins forgiven, never to be counted against us.” God truly is a God of mercy. Mercy means we do not get what we deserve. We deserve punishment, death, hell. God gives us us blessings, abundant life, eternal life, heaven. But there are a lot of people who have not received forgiveness of sins. They have not asked for forgiveness. They have not confessed their sins. One of the best prayers in the Bible is found in Luke 18:13 where the tax gatherer said, “God, be merciful to me, the sinner!” and he was justified and forgiven by God. (See Luke 18:9-13) Matthew 18:11 “For the Son of Man (Jesus) has come to save that which was lost.” Jesus came to save us, to forgive us, to receive us, to accept us----NOT to condemn us. That was His purpose when He came to earth. John 3:17 “For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” But still forgiveness is not automatic. We have our part to do. It is the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross when He took our sins upon Himself that we are able to have life and life eternal. It is the Blood of Jesus that cleanses us. We have to confess our sins to the Father in heaven and receive Jesus as Savior and Lord for forgiveness and to get the benefits of what he provides for us. 1 John 1:7-9 “7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” When God cleanses you from ALL your sins , how much do you have left in you? “NONE!” When God forgives he forgives completely, and even forgets it. Several hundred years before Jesus died for us the prophet Jeremiah pointed to the New Covenant that God would provide through His Son Jesus Christ. Jeremiah 31:31-34 “Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— 32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day

Heath Ford
Miracles Still Happen With Jesus! Life With Cowboy, Bareback Rider, Minister of the Gospel Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”
Heath Ford made a decision at a young age to receive Jesus as Savior and the Lord of his life. He did not waver. As a young contestant he would listen to the Holy Spirit about his decisions in life, his rodeo schedule and his career. He understands that the power of God through Jesus Christ His Son is available to us now in the world we live in. Miracles of God have been experienced on several occasions when Heath was healed super naturally by Jesus our Healer. I ordained Heath as a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ at a Cowboy Church service at the rodeo in Marshall, Texas in October 1, 2010. In this article is a testimony of two miracles in his life. But first

The Greatest Blessing Forgiveness Of Sin This Month’s Message by Ronnie Christian continued from page 1 that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the LORD. 33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” Matthew 9:1-8 is a story of a paralytic that Jesus healed. He also forgave the man’s sins when He said to him, “Your sins are forgiven.” The religious leaders of the day and many of the people did not receive Jesus for who He really was. Yet He has authority to forgive sins. See Matthew 9:1-6: “So He got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own city. 2 Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, ‘Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.’ ” 3 And at once some of the scribes said within themselves, ‘This Man blasphemes!’ 4 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, ‘Why do you think evil in your hearts? 5 For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise and walk’? 6 But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins”—then He said to the paralytic, ‘Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.’ 7 And he arose and departed to his house.” Let us look at Three Kinds of People: 1) Lost, unforgiven, never asked God for forgiveness, never confessed their sins, unsaved, non-believer. Direction to take for these people: Acts 2:38 “Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” 2) Saved, walking in God’s love, Jesus is Lord; honor God in their life, filled with the love and joy of the Holy Spirit and power. Direction for these people to take: Continue in the things of God. 2 Peter 3:18 “ but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Keep putting God first in your life. Matthew 6:33 “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Keep serving Jesus-God will honor you. (See John 12:26) 3) Saved, but do not feel forgiven. Those who are saved, believe and confess Jesus as Lord, have asked for forgiveness of sins, but they do not feel forgiven. They still feel condemned over their past. We see a lot of people in this condition. Direction for these people. Believe what God says about you and your past. You are forgiven. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus… (Romans 8:1) And 1 John 1:9 will set you free when you do it and believe it. I John 1:9 set me free from condemnation of my past. It will set you free also. 1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” When God cleanses you from ALL your sins, how much sin do you have left in you? Answer is “NONE!” When God forgives he forgives completely, and even forgets it. The Psalms tell us that God puts your sins in the depth
of the sea. He removes them as far as the east Ronnie and Cherlyn Christian is from the west. Like the scapegoat He takes your sins into the wilderness, which suggests He takes them to hell, never to be remembered. The best thing to do with sin is confess it , get forgiven of it, learn from it, forget about it, and go try to do better in the future. The next time the devil brings up your past sins, remind him you are forgiven and tell him, “Get thee behind me –Be Gone!in Jesus Name.” The next time the devil reminds you of your past, remind him of his future. Say to yourself, “I am forgiven and accepted by Jesus. I am clean by the Blood of Jesus.” Forgive yourself also if you have not done so. People, the world, even church people, and sometimes your own self will try to keep you feeling condemned and bring up your past and keep you there. Believe what God says about you-you are forgiven. You are a new creature in Christ Jesus. You are a child of the Most High God. When someone tells you that you are worthless, sorry, of no worth, and condemn you. Say, “I don’t receive that. I am a child of the Most High God. Thank you very much.” Believe what God and His Word says about you! Are you forgiven? You can be. Is Jesus your Savior and Lord? Pray this and mean it in your heart: God be merciful to me the sinner. I confess my sins before You. I am sorry for my sins, and I ask You to forgive my sins. I accept what Jesus, Your Son, did for me on the cross when He shed His blood to wash away my sins. I receive Jesus as Savior and Lord of my life right now. I am clean by the Blood of Jesus. I can now call You my Father. Jesus, baptize me in the Holy Spirit and fire; fill me with Your Spirit. Holy Spirit, help me to live a life pleasing to my Father in Heaven. Thank You for forgiving me and saving me, and giving me eternal life. “1 John 5:11 “And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son.” Read (Romans 3:10; 3:23; 5:8-9; 6:23; 10:9-10, 13; John3:16; Luke 11:13; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:38). Read the Bible daily, pray daily, get water baptized, ask Jesus to baptize you in the Holy Spirit, meet often with other believers. Taking the Message of Forgiveness With Us: We continue to present the Jesus as Savior, Lord, Best Friend-the One who forgives, saves, and sets us free. Consider being a monthly financial Cowboy Partner with us as we travel to rodeos, bull ridings, ropings, Cowboy Churches, and other places in between. We also distribute this CCF Magazine nationwide and you can help and be a part of it all. Cowboy Partners give financially, pray for and with us, and at times are available to help when we are in their area. Romans 10: 14-15 “ 14 How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? Service: What about your group? Is there anything that we can do for you? Let us know. Isaiah 6:8 Also, I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send and who will go for us?” Then said I, “Send me...I’ll go.” Presenting Jesus and His forgiveness, Ronnie Christian Phil 4:19

Heath Ford -
let’s tell about some of the life of Heath Ford. Heath Ford has made an impact on his fellow competitors since he was a young man in college. At an early age Heath made a commitment to serve Jesus in his life. He has been a difference maker and a light for God in the rodeo world for over 20 years. As a rodeo cowboy Heath has accomplished qualifying and riding in the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, NV in 2006,’07 and ‘09. In college and in the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association (PRCA), he also competed in the Bull Riding event. He has been a leader to others and it shows up in their respect for him. His fellow Bareback Riders voted for him to represent them as the Bareback Riding Director in the PRCA for the years, 2011-2017. Heath is now on the PRCA Board of Directors which is the main body for making decisions that govern the PRCA and affects the lives of thousands of rodeo cowboys and their families. Heath was born into a rodeo family. His father, Glen Ford, was also a WNFR qualifier in the Bareback Riding. His mother, Jane, has been a Rodeo Secretary for years and competed in college rodeo. His brother, Jarrod Ford, has been featured as a WNFR Bull Rider. His uncle, Bruce Ford, is a five times World Champion BB Rider, and his cousin, Royce, who Heath grew up with at youth rodeos and family times is another family member who is a WNFR BB Rider. Glen and Jane Ford afforded Heath the opportunity to rodeo as a young boy in youth rodeos in Colorado where he grew up. They also instilled in Heath the Word of God and the importance of having Jesus Christ in his life. They honored the voice and leading of the Holy Spirit. Heath learned early on to listen and be led by the Holy Spirit. He was quick to repent when he sinned. And he kept away from a lot of sin with the help of the Holy Spirit who is our Teacher and Guide. Heath is married to Brittney Nordahl Ford, who comes from a rodeo family in Montana. Brittney is a member of the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA). She is currently competing in the Barrel Racing events at PRCA rodeos and elsewhere. They are each other’s best friend, fan, and supporter. The couple has two young daughters, Pecos and Gracesyn. The family has been living in Texas for the past several years, but recently moved to Montana. From their new home base they will raise their family, pursue their goals, rodeo, and also began a new ministry work. Some of his training to minister was formed over the years at Rodeo School and Bible Camps that Heath attended as a young boy, and later became an Instructor. Miracles! The sound of it gets people’s attention. Some believe. Some are skeptical. Some are undeniable. In June of
2017, at a rodeo in Litlle Big Horn, Montana, Heath had an accident in the Bareback Riding event. A horse reared up when the chute gate opened, and then fell over on top of Heath, breaking his arm. Jesus supernaturally healed it that same day. Heath and Brittney gave their reports on what happened on social media. Below is their reports. FROM: Heath Ford: “What a mighty God we serve! I had a horse flip on me as she left the chute last night and then proceed to fall on me three or four more times. When I got loose from her the pickup man accidentally ran his horse completely over me. (See picture above left) I was offered a RR (re-ride; another horse to compete on). As I was talking to the Stock Contractor I noticed a fair amount of blood running from me. I looked down and my arm bone was sticking through my tape. I walked behind the chutes and got in the car with Colleen and Tim Moullet and headed to the hospital. We talked about Jesus all the way and I told him I felt God doing something in my arm. We get to hospital about 45 minutes away and everyone and their dog wanted to see this injury. Go get Xray and they come in not believing there is not a broken bone to be found; only the exit wound that tore through muscle and fatty tissue and looked like I had been shot. After trimming it up and cleaning it really well I have 13 stitches! If you don’t think God is alive Heath and Brittney Ford and still in the miracle business you don’t know my Jesus! This is the third time broken bones have been healed on me before doctors get the chance to do anything other than scratch their head in wonder as I tell them about my Jesus! Get to know Jesus folks. If you don’t you are missing the greatest gift to mankind ever! Thank you Tim and thank you Jesse Kruse for the wheels and the company!” (Editors Note: Heath was riding bucking horses again within a few weeks.)

Miracles Still Happen With Jesus!
Another Miracle and another Broken Bone Healed Supernaturally In Red Bluff, CA at the PRCA Rodeo in April 2010, Heath Ford rode his Bareback Horse, then was off on the ground. The rodeo went on to the next contestant. Most people did not notice Heath after the ride, or that he was hurt. The Rodeo Official, Mike Todd, came to me and said, “Tell Heath he has a re-ride. See if he wants to take it.” I found Heath in the Justin Sports Medicine Trailer. He was lying on a table with some ice on his foot. He said to me, “They say it’s broken, but I know Jesus is my Healer.” I spoke healing over his foot in Jesus Name. Nothing immediately happened that we could tell. So I walked outside back to the bucking chutes. On the way I stopped and I almost cried and said “Jesus, how come it doesn’t happen fast, like when You did it.?” Then I grinned and said, “Sometimes it does!” After the rodeo, I was at the restaurant eating with Heath and his brother, Jarrod, and some other bull riders. After the meal as we were leaving I went over to Heath and said, “Heath, we are fearfully and wonderfully made. We are made in the image of God, and He doesn’t have a broken foot. Even heathens who don’t like God get healed. I am going to ask God to speed up the natural healing process He has put into our bodies.” We left and I came back to Texas. Psalms 139:13-18 “For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb.14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well.15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! 18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.” Genesis1:26-28 26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them,…” Less than one week later (about three to four days later), I was at the Lufkin, TX PRCA Rodeo. Jarrod Ford called out to me at a distance, and said, “Hey Ronnie, Heath’s foot isn’t broken anymore.” Praise God! I went the next weekend to a rodeo in Helotes, TX and saw Heath was scratched off the Draw Sheet with a Doctor’s Release notice. So I called him. I said, “I am at the Helotes Rodeo. Your brother said you foot is not broken. I see you are Doctor Released here. What’s the deal?” Heath replied, “I Doctor Released before I went to the doctor here in Texas.” I told the doctor, “My foot is not broken. He said, ‘Here is the X-ray from California. See here is the break. We will take another X-ray. The doctor came back saying, ‘Son, I have good news for you. There is no sign that foot was ever broken.’” Next Heath went to the store and got on a coin operated horse for kids. He took a selfie photo shot and sent it to his mother, and said , “ I am going again, ready to ride.” And he gave her the good report. He continued to ride that year and ever since with no problems from that foot. We are in situations like this at times. It looks impossible in the natural. We do what we can in the natural-then we ask God for super, so we can experience the super natural hand of God. Miracles still occur. By Jesus stripes we are healed. 1 Peter 2:24 “who Himself (Jesus) bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.” Don’t Limit God. Stretch your faith. Believe for miracles. We know the battles get tough. The best miracle Heath ever received was when he gained eternal life by receiving Jesus as Savior and Lord. Heath Ford has also experienced what it is like in the earth to experience the power of God in his life here on earth. Heath has a heart for Jesus and wants others to have the same miracle working God in their life as well. So he tells others the Good News of Jesus Christ when the door opens. We look forward to hearing more good news from Heath and Brittney from their new ministry work in Montana and wherever they travel. By Ronnie Christian
“The Wife’s Comment”
From Brittney: July 2017-The wife’s comment –Brittney Nordahl Ford- on Heath’s Miracle- ”So I’m sure most of you are friends with Heath too so I’ll share my side. I got a call saying he was headed to the hospital because the bone had come through the skin after the horse flipped on him. I was not there so it rocked me a bit. Heath just said he was believing it would be healed when he got to the hospital. Guys, this man’s faith is amazing!!! Along with my emotions I was sad our dream summer had ended. But God!!! Bring on the testimony so we can scream it from the mountain!!! A good number of nurses came through to see this compound fracture and then it was time for an x-ray. Results in.....the bone was healed and complete- not a break in sight!!! Unexplainable healing by an out of this world Healer!!!! After some good cleaning and 13 stitches, he walked out of the hospital. I know these are hard to believe but guys we still have a living God that heals and works in our lives!!! Give us a call; we would love to tell you all about Him!!! Two weeks later: Two weeks ago today there was a bone (sticking out), today just a pretty good scab after the stitches. He didn’t let them cut his shirt at the shoulder because he wanted a t-shirt. This poor guy took a 30-day (medical release)from rodeo. In the first two weeks he has pounded in 400+ feet of T-posts in a rocky mountain, hauled a few tons of hay, and hauled a treadmill and exercise bike. He says he is ready to go back to bucking horses. One of the toughest guys I know!!!”

ON THE TRAIL
We have been On The Trail all summer for Jesus. We are still ‘Presenting Jesus!”- and the love and encouragement, and victory He offers. This summer we have been to several of Lester Meier Rodeo Company 2017 Open Pro Rodeo Tour events in south central Texas. Lester and Holly Meier are Cowboy Partners in this ministry. They continue to welcome us to minister at their rodeos. Even with their busy schedule just before performance time, they make a way to attend Cowboy Church and encourage their workers, contestants, the rodeo judges, bull fighters, specialty acts, and others to attend. We have seen a lot of the same cowboys and cowgirls this year. Because of this we are able to make disciples, and not just converts. After receiving Jesus as Savior people need to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” (2 Peter 3:18) We counsel them during, before, and after church in many areas –healing, forgiveness, finances, jobs, marriage, couples living together who are not married (several have gotten married since), anger, wounded spirits from past hurts, hope for the future, resisting sin, living a more godly life pleasing the Father, and more. We have seen miracles and watch as Jesus heals alot of people and takes pain away. We see good fruit from our efforts. Many cowboys and cowgirls are living a life of love, joy, and peace instead of anger, bitterness and confusion. Many are living to serve Jesus now instead of always serving the flesh. Love always wins! We continue to preach at Tejas Rodeo with the blessing of the owners, Yancey James and Trey Moore. Tejas Rodeo is a weekly Rodeo in Bulverde, Texas held weekly on Saturday nights from March to November (about 40 performances a year). They celebrated their 10th Anniversary last year. Pastor Cody Haynes of Johnson City, Tx supplies the bulls. Cody always says, “My bulls are about Jesus!”. He has made sure that there is a Cowboy Church service each week before every performance for 10 years. I preach and minister there several times a year when my schedule allows it. Over the years we have seen lots of people receive Jesus, grow in Christ, get healed, experience miracles. Jesus continues to bless us there. He is the same powerful Lord as when He walked the earth, and He still moves on the behalf of mankind in healing, salvation, deliverance, protection, and help. Tejas rodeo has grown in size and crowd numbers over the years. We believe it is because they honor Jesus and the Holy Spirit. It is a great place for beginner and seasoned cowboys to compete. A lot of cowboys and cowgirls that travel around the country got their start here. And they also got a good foundation for living their lives by the Word of God being instilled in them. Cherlyn and I were also able to minister at Ridin’ With Christ Fellowship in Waller, TX this July. Pastor Art Musgrove has been inviting me to preach there since about 2008. It was a good ser-
vice. People were ministered to in spirit soul, and body. Salvations-people were born again in their spirit. Wounded spirits from old emotional hurts were healed in their soul. Physically people were healed in their body. (See 1 Thessalonians 5:23 shows that God preserves us complete-spirit, souls, body.) We I will be back at PRCA Rodeos this September and October to continue to minister in an area we have found favor from God and men for many years-38 years! We will continue to present the Good News of Jesus Christ. Lives are changed for the good! It is a blessing and an honor to serve Jesus. We encourage you to present Jesus On The Trail of your life. It is a crazy world we live in. Our only hope is Jesus. So let’s do Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Reporting from On TheTrail for Jesus, Ronnie Christian
