Comment on Some Principles Observed, by Patricia by Jana Fitzwater

I have just finished the book given to me by my mother-in-law, Ruth Fitzwater. I am empowered to pass on all of this knowledge and wisdom. I never met Mr. Beasley, I was a young child at the time he was preaching most of his sermons. His face is very familiar though. This book will not be passed on because of all the great reference material, but I do plan on getting one to pass to my pastor and youth pastor. I thank God for placing this story and outlook of faith in my hands. It is amazing to see God’s work and the way he does it. God is good all the time, All the time God is good!

I was given the book ” Adventures in Faith ” the late brother wrote. It has honestly changed who I am, While in my first 3 attempts to read it I threw it across the room each time at different points, The Lord compailed me each time to read it again. Upon completing it I am a man driven with purpose for the Lord and the Faith to go forth into the calling God has given to me. I can’t wait to look at Brother Beasley face to face when my day is called and thank him in person for obeying the Lord in his ministry.
God Bless

Do you have your song “Child of My Child” available on cassette or CD? I would so like to purchase it. Thanks!

I knew Bro. Beasley through the relationship he had with our pastor, Ron Dunn of MacArthur Boulevard Baptist Church, in the 70’s. Many times Pastor Ron would invite Bro. Beasley to speak at MBBC. It’s such a joy reading through these entries. I’ve read them to my husband, Bill, and it’s such an eye-opener experience especially for me. No WONDER I think the way I do – believe the way I do. With Spiritual Fathers, like Ron Dunn, Peter Lord, Manley Beasley, what ELSE will you be but FULL of Faith, no matter the cost. One statement (this isn’t an exact quote) that I remember Bro Manley making is: “It’s not possible to enter into the TRUE Presence of the HOLY SPIRIT, and leave unchanged.” This ONE statement seems to be what fuels my thinking when we (My Husband and I pastor Life
Bridge Church in Fort Wayne, IN) have a service. I cannot stand the thought of business as usual, nor of chasing the miraculous. We simply go for JESUS and HIS Glory always being central, then try to get out of the way and allow the Holy Spirit Freedom. No wonder so many inspired youth from that era (that sat under Manley, Bro Ron Dunn, and Peter Lord, are now in their 50’s early 60’s, and are directly involved in church leadership.

Dear Ron & Patricia,
I have copy of the “Return To Me” that you did for “A Fresh Encounter with God Through Song”. I obtained it when at the conference you both sang and Patricia played. Fond memories of that event. I play it often and am playing it now as I type. I appreciate both of you and the ministry that has helped me over the years. May God continue to bless you both. Congratulations on your 50 years together.
My wife and I celebrated 50 years together as well. Now 52!
I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you again!
Jerry Steele, a Deacon at Elkridge Baptist church in Maryland.

Brother Manley Beasley often preached at my home church, Olivet Baptist Church in Little Rock, Arkansas, when I was a teenager and young adult. I even purchased a series of cassette tapes that he had published. Brother Manley was the closest thing to a prophet and a “true man of God”, that I ever had the privilege to meet. I had the privilege of talkiing to him as a young “preacher boy” many times, and he made impacts on my life,that I will never forget. Thank God for Brother Manley, and may we who knew him, re-kindle the fire for revival that Brother Manley preached, and that America so badly needs.

Bobbie and I are reading the book together. We met Manley Jr. at the revival conference at the First Baptist Church Jonesboro, GA. Thank you, Ron, for writing this book.

Comment on LOUD… by Angie

How timely that I found this article this morning. My husband and I, both trained musicians, had this very experience last Sunday morning when visiting a church. The musicians were all talented, but the volume was deafening…I was in physical pain and even experienced nausea. I echo your five points; it feels as if you plucked them from my heart. Thanks so much for writing it.

I miss beautiful worship music…

Ron & Patricia, you have been in our lives since the mid ’70’s because of our Lord. Since the Lord used me as a church musician (organ-piano) for more than 40yrs in same church, revival in the church was a shared cry of our heart. We lost our house 12/23/07 starting while we were at church. Lost organ, piano and all my years of music. Today found this website as I had a deep desire to get back the written music we used at church. Found out in your BLOG that the yr my husband graduated from UT you two were arriving. We will celebrate our 50th Wedding Celebration Aug. 29, 09. Thanking our Lord for using you two in our lives and being able to regain some of the music that was lost. Happy Anniversary and my our Lord give all of us the pleasure of serving HIM in the way that will bless HIM and encourage HIS bride, the church.
