Greetings, it’s Faluch Bigsby, author of God Uses Gangsters. Today, I want to leave you with this quote from Miss Robinson, here at the prison: “A person who falls and gets back up is much stronger than a person who never fell.” The reason why I want to start with that quote is because inmates are incarcerated, and there’s a lot of us that are here that are trying to do good, that have fallen, and we’re reaching and climbing and scraping to get back up, and we’re strong, good people. We just need the resources.
I want to send out a shot to Pastor Steve again, from Set Free Ministry, because he does a newsletter in multiple prisons across the United States, and he’s coming out of his own pocket to pay for all the mail and postage, so he needs donations. He’s on my link, along with Agape Prison Ministries and Ministries in New Zealand, by Mary Simpson. She is also on my link, and I would like for you guys to reach out to either one of those organizations. Mary does a lot of work in other countries. She does a lot of stuff for people that are in poverty, so therefore they have a really good, authentic ministry. Pastor Steve, he helps a lot of the people that are in prison.
Now, the reason why I want to point this out–because those people that are true Christians, they shouldn’t be judgmental, they shouldn’t live in a bubble, and they should be out there hitting the pavement doing what God said. God gave a directive in his Word that we are to get out and help the widows, help the poor, help those in prison. A lot of the people in the Bible were inmates and prisoners. So there’s a lot of good within these walls of incarceration. There’s a lot of bad.
And now, I want to swing to the government corruption. Not all government is corrupt, but there is corruption in all government. And the reason why I keep saying that is because there’s a lot of things that take place that we can’t fix because we don’t have the resources. Prime example: my mom died in 2021; left me with no family, no friends, nothing. I had a condo with all my belongings in it, and I paid somebody $20,000 to pay my taxes every year. And guess what happened?
The guy illegally moved into my condo. In 2023 whenever the sheriffs served an order on the house showing that the taxes weren’t paid, this guy acted like he was me. My house went up into a sheriff’s auction, and right now I’m trying to get the resources to try to get my house back. The point is, is that if I had some resources, or some way to maintain my things and my property, I would’ve not been going through these struggles.
We have no resources. We have nobody helping us in these institutions because people aren’t doing the right thing. It’s time for people to reach out and understand that we’re all human beings. We all need to work together, and we all need to make a change. It’s good versus evil, plain and simple. God bless. That’s Faluch Bigsby–signing off.
