The Eternal Kingdom: TRUE FREEDOM

THOUGHTS ON THE ETERNAL KINGDOM

TRUE FREEDOM!!

Some people feel that freedom is being able to

fulfill their personal desires; living to please

themselves, doing what they want to do, and being

able to have whatever they want. This is not freedom,

but a deception from the devil that makes us a slave to the lust of the flesh. The fruit of this type of self-determination is a wasted life and the destruction of the person’s soul in the fires of Hell forever.

“True Freedom” is being freed from our destructive lust so we can fulfill God’s eternal purpose for our lives. This produces an eternal reward that cannot be taken away. This can only happen when we turn from the desire to please ourselves and give God control of our lives. We must decide to love Jesus with all our heart, soul and mind because of what He did on The Cross for us. Then we need to repent of our sins and make Him Lord of our life. God then gives us the indwelling presence of His Holy Spirit. His Spirit living in us enables us to have victory over the lust of the flesh. The power of His Spirit enables us to fulfill God’s eternal purpose for us. This is “True Freedom”. This type of freedom gives our life eternal meaning and allows us to be part of God’s blessed heavenly Kingdom forever.

Question: Are you living in “True Freedom”?

Rita's Story

Rita was married to Bud McDonald for 33 years. Bud McDonald (1942-2003) was called to ministry in Latin America in 1973.

Bud and Rita were married in 1970 in Baytown, Texas just a few years before being called to ministry. Their ministry gradually spread from Belize to Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador then finally to Mexico. Through their ministry, first starting with the Burton McDonald Evangelistic Association, then changing over to The Sower, Inc. in 1983, Bud and Rita started over 140 churches throughout Central America and Mexico.

Bud’s influence extended from Argentina to Cuba through Central America into parts of Texas and the Southern U.S. through evangelistic crusades, meetings, radio and television.

Rita McDonald began serving in ministry alongside her husband Bud soon after their marriage. She used her secretarial skills in editing and typing a weekly Christian newspaper, and in helping Bud compile a Bible correspondence school. She led worship in new churches they started, and taught weekly children’s Sunday school classes as well as vacation Bible schools. After moving back to the US in the 80’s she co-pastored several churches with her husband, led a Bible study at a local Christian Television station and continued to be active in the work in Latin America.

She home-schooled all four of their children through high school.

In response to God’s leading she married Henry Pulsifer in November 2010, and is his partner as he fulfills the ministry God has given him. Their main focus is providing training to native leaders outside the U.S. This includes working with Bud's son Scott to provide training for the leaders in the work he established.
