Dear Friends, (Submitted by Iris)

Well, much has changed in our world since our last newsletter. As many of you may know, we lost our daughter, Laura, on October 15th. You may also know that Laura spent many years as a quadriplegic since a horse riding accident in 2004. Since that time she has suffered so much, physically, as well as emotionally and even spiritually, but in all of that her faith never wavered. Her death was due to complications of her condition leading to sepsis in her body that became immune to antibiotics. The Lord knew that she was not afraid to die, but did have a fear of dying, so He took her in her sleep. Les and I are so thankful and pray that if the Lord doesn’t come and take us all together in the Rapture that we will go in much the same way. We take great comfort in the knowledge that we will meet Laura again on the other side and she will be whole and happy. We keep in mind her favorite scripture, II Corinthians 5:8 “We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.” I knew on Friday, October 13th that Laura was not feeling well, so I spent most of the day in the room with her. When she left at noon, we parted in our usual way using the nick names we had for each other. Of course, I did not realize it would be our last goodbye, but I’m thankful that she could spend her final days with us and in her own home with Jerry.

Laura wrote about the Rapture in almost every newsletter, the last one being Oct – Dec 2017. In that letter she wrote about a stuffed white rabbit in a hat that a friend sent her. On it was written, “God is going to do a miracle”, and indeed He did. He may not have called her up in the Rapture, but He took her to Glory and we praise Him for it! Laura’s greatest hope and prayer was that all of her friends and family would come to know Salvation according to another of her favorite verses, I Corinthians 15: 1-4.

In the last newsletter we told you that Les had suffered a minor stroke followed by a surgery, and is recovering as expected. He is feeling well for 90 years old and his strength is improving, although he still doesn’t have much energy. The most frustrating change since his stroke has been the loss of hearing, which unfortunately prohibits him from taking phone calls. If you are unable to find an answer to a complicated Biblical question in our previous lessons or the Question and Answer book, you are welcome to mail them in to Les. Although the stroke has affected him physically, his Biblical knowledge has remained intact.

Les and I thank you for all the sympathy, Christmas, birthday cards and notes. We cannot tell you how much we appreciate all the prayers. They have sustained us. Please keep us as well as Laura’s children, grand-children and husband in your prayers in the difficult days ahead.

What in the World

Yes, I’m writing another article on rightly dividing. Mostly because of a letter I received a while back from a listener who also listens to all of the more famous preachers on TV. His question: “These men are leading millions of people into the Kingdom economy. They never even mention Paul’s Gospel of I Corinthians 15:1-4. Are most of them lost?” We can’t answer that, because only God is the final judge. But, according to our view on dispensations, mankind is responsible to their own dispensation. Which means Paul’s is the only valid gospel for today. Peter makes it so plain when He admonishes his Jewish readers to go to Paul’s epistles in II Peter 3:15 - 16. "And account that the longsuffering of our LORD is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction."

Why not the four gospels? Because they are Kingdom gospel as we see clearly in Matthew 9:35. "And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people." Carefully read and compare that with Galatians 1:11-17 "But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. 13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: 14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. 15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, 16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: 17 Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.", Romans 2:16 "In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.", Romans 1:16 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek", and Ephesians 3:1-9 "And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God."

Note from the Office

Thank you all for another great year here at the ministry. We appreciate each donation and order so much and hope you realize that you are keeping the program on the air with your gifts and purchases. Also regarding donations, please request a year end receipt for gifts given in 2017 if needed. We don’t automatically send these because we send receipts for each donation unless asked to do otherwise by the donor.

Many of you may know, we have sold our very popular book, “Questions and Answers from the Bible” since 2002 for $11 a copy, shipping included. It has come to our attention that the same book is sold through online book stores by various sellers for up to $600 a copy! Although we have never spoken to anyone who has paid that much, we know some have paid more than $50 for a copy of the book. We want to be sure that our friends know that it IS NOT Les Feldick Ministries selling on any of these sites. It is truly unfortunate that people would take advantage of our lax copyright policy because of our desire to share the Word, for such blatant personal gain. To those of you who have purchased multiple copies of the Q & A book to share with friends and family, we thank you. To those who are purchasing multiple copies only to turn around and sell on line for a profit, we would hope you realize this is not honorable nor is it something a believer should engage in, as it takes advantage of both Les Feldick Ministries and our customers.

Finally, we would like to remind you that the only official Les Feldick Ministries websites are www.lesfeldick.org and www.lesfeldick.com. Although we appreciate the desire of individuals to share some of the content on various sites, we do not partner with or necessarily have all the same views or opinions as these sites.

Programming Updates

We are excited to announce that Through the Bible with Les Feldick will now be airing on WGN America. This station is available to Dish Network (channel 239) and DIRECTV (channel 307). Cable customers please check your local listings for programming information. We have provided listings for each time zone on the broadcast schedule, located on the back page of this newsletter.

ION viewers please note that your programs times have changed. Through the Bible with Les Feldick will be airing 1 hour earlier each morning. These changes have also been noted on the back of the newsletter.

As with all cable networks, channel numbers will vary by provider. We are unable to list all channel numbers that air our program, due to limited space. We apologize if this is an inconvenience. If you need further assistance finding our program in your area, please contact our office at 1-800-369-7856 and we would be happy to help.

New Special Product

Because Les has not recorded any seminars or new teachings in quite some time, we have decided to record a short teaching from home titled Reinforcing Right Division. This is an amateur recording, approximately 1 hour in length with a special look at the ranch. The cost is $10, shipping included. We hope you will enjoy a current look at the ministry!
