Part Two: I will talk about open cases of the Baker County John Doe, New Britain Jane Doe, Gwinnett County John Doe, Pima County Jane Doe, Ms. Startex, and Lenawee County John Doe UNIDENTIFED:   In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, DNA Doe Project is putting the spotlight on our Hispanic, Latinx, and Indigenous John and Jane Does. I wanted to bring their stories to the forefront, even though this is just a handful or thousands that are unidentified or tu sin Nombre on the NAMUS website. Let alone, there is a whole other list of people that are considered unclaimed. I hope to talk about their stories in the near future. These cases are special - they present numerous challenges to the teams working on them, and they highlight important social justice issues. The DNA Doe Project, a national nonprofit that seeks to identify John and Jane Does using genetic genealogy and is hoping to help identify them and let them rest with their grieving families. These are their stories….IF YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION, PLEASE CONTACT:(Click on the name of Jane /John Does below)LOST LOVE ONES:Baker County John Doe: On September 5, 1995 a dog out for a run in a wooded area along Lewis Covin Road and State Road 121 in Maclenny, Florida, returned to its owner a human skull.

The father of John the Baptist, the priest Zechariah gave this prophecy regarding the ministry of his newborn son, John. Luke 1:76 And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall shine from on high to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”   John the Baptist lived within the awe of this promise of his destiny - preparing the way for the Messiah. He had drawn crowds out to where he had been living out in the desert regions on a diet of locusts and wild honey where the people listened to his preaching declaring that the Messiah was coming and that everybody had to repent.  Then at the appointed time the Holy Spirit prompted him to make his way to Jerusalem to preach about the Kingdom of Heaven and repentance of sins, and he and his disciples began baptizing people in the Jordan River.  Then on a certain day the Pharisees began questioning John about who he was because there were rumors abounding that he was the Christ or perhaps Elijah. All John would say was that he was one who was like a voice crying in the wilderness ‘Make straight the way of the Lord.'  And the next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me' (John 1:29). Then John goes on to say, ‘I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.' And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.” (John 1:32) And then the time came in John's ministry where he knew he had to decrease and make way for Jesus to increase. When John baptized Jesus in the Jordan river and the Holy Spirit descended like a dove upon him, an entirely new ministry of the Spirit started on the earth as Jesus went out into the wilderness in the power of the Spirit to be tested by the devil. In the plan of God to bring in the new wine of the Spirit the old had to pass away, so John had to pass away, literally.  John was arrested and taken into the custody of Herod at the time that Jesus went out in the Spirit into the wilderness.  When Jesus began to move out into his anointed ministry John started to become uncertain about many things as he languished in prison.  He began to doubt whether Jesus was truly the Messiah, and he began to become concerned about his own future. We don't know if John even comprehended the fact that Jesus would be resurrected from the dead even though at Jesus' baptism he had said 'Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world'. The prophet John was told only what the Holy Spirit needed him to know. Matthew 11: 2 John the Baptist, who was now in prison, heard about all the miracles the Messiah was doing, so he sent his disciples to ask Jesus, "Are you really the one we are waiting for, or shall we keep on looking?" Jesus told them," Go back to John and tell him about the miracles you've seen me do-- the blind people being healed and the deaf who hear…and tell him about my preaching the Good News to the poor. Then give him this message, `Blessed are those who are not offended in me.'"  Jesus was quoting from Isaiah 61:1 the words that were prophetic of his ministry as the Messiah, and these were words that John the prophet would have known very well. It is significant that Jesus did not mention the second half of that prophecy from Isaiah 61:1 which says ‘to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; And John was offended that Jesus had not set him free from prison. John was disappointed and he began to lose trust in Jesus because he was offended! He would have had all kinds of ideas about how the kingdom of God would be ushered in, but those ideas had to be surrendered and die because he had only received a partial revelation of how the Kingdom would operate. Just like the disciples and anyone else who was waiting for Messiah to come, the expectation of Jesus the Messiah was that he would set up a powerful earthly Kingdom which he would reign over upon a throne in Jerusalem. John had to accept the yet unknown bigger plan for the kingdom of God, that Jesus would reign within us - even though John was the one chosen by God to go about telling people that ‘the kingdom of God is at hand'. John could have imagined himself as the prophet in the courts of the new King – who knows?  His disciples went back and told him about their conversation with Jesus, John began to understand that he was not the one to live alongside Jesus but to simply prepare the way for him, he realized that he now should decrease while Jesus increased. And John's reaction was, John 3:26 “A person cannot receive even one thing unless it is given him from heaven. You yourselves can testify that I said, I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before him.' The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom (the Best Man), who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore, this joy of mine is now complete. He must increase, but I must decrease.” John's personal vision was dethroned. He remained the friend of the bridegroom but made way for the ‘alongside life' of the bridegroom and his bride – the new Kingdom model of love and unity. That was a beautiful picture of Jesus and his bride that the Holy Spirit finally gave to  John that emphasized the ‘two being made one'. That speaks of us as New Creation beings, made one in the Spirit in our ‘alongside life' with Jesus.  Then Herod had John beheaded at the request of the daughter of Herodias because Herod was deeply offended at John because John had publicly rebuked him over his  illegal marriage to Herodias, his brother's ex-wife. John was a prophet and both his life, and his death were prophetic for all who would be born into a new life with Jesus through the Holy Spirit. It would mean the decrease of self-life within us and the increase of the Jesus life within us in our new ‘God with us' life. This ‘newness of life' was destined for each individual who entered by faith into that new Kingdom life which was to come upon the earth after the resurrection and ascension of Jesus. Everything was about to pass away, and all things were to become new. We will go back to the time when Jesus told John's disciples to tell John to not be offended in him. When John's disciples had gone, Jesus began talking about him to the crowds. Matthew 11: “When you went out into the barren wilderness to see John, what did you expect him to be like? Grass blowing in the wind, or were you expecting to see a man dressed as a prince in a palace? Or a prophet of God? Yes, and he is more than just a prophet. For John is the man mentioned in the Scriptures--a messenger to precede me, to announce my coming, and prepare the way for people to receive me.  "Truly, of all men ever born, none shines more brightly than John the Baptist. And yet, even the lesser lights in the Kingdom of Heaven will be greater than he is!” After his praise of the powerful prophetic ministry of John, Jesus made the further astounding remark of the greater spiritual stature of every New Testament spiritual believer who enters the ‘KINGDOM WITHIN' life. That life was to be greater than the spiritual stature of John for whom that Kingdom life was not available at that time. For while John had the most powerful anointing of any man in the earth besides Jesus, he was not joined in one Spirit to Jesus as would be those who would receive the Holy Spirit after Pentecost, and that includes us.  John had come to realize that as far as he and Jesus were concerned, he was just the ‘best man' and that it is between the bridegroom, Jesus, and his bride, who are all those who live with him in oneness of Spirit. We now as his bride allow the Holy Spirit to take us on an alongside journey with him and at one with him in all that he does in our lives. Our life is now one of total trust in the one that walks alongside us.  John had to change his expectations because he had a misplaced expectation of Jesus that caused his own offence. People get offended with someone when that person does not live up to their expectations, to do for them what they want. And so will we have to change our expectations. It is no longer what we expect God should do for us, no matter how fervent the prayer is, nor is it us including Jesus in what we are doing, but it is Jesus including us in what he is doing. This becomes our new and absolute mindset of how to walk by faith, and this is what he expects of us. This becomes our repentance. There might be an initial time of confusion for us as the full reality of a life with God begins to assume it's real meaning for us, because that life challenges the autonomy and independence of our big plan for our own lives, even in our plan or vision of how we will serve God. We must surrender the old us and allow our ideas of our future to die in the same way that John had to decrease and even die to his plan for his future. We now make way for the new work of The Holy Spirit to take us on in our walk alongside Jesus in a heart-to-heart relationship of surrendered partnership. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit as a comforter, and the word ‘comforter' is ‘paracletos' which means ‘one who comes alongside'. This ‘alongside walk' is the operation of the love of God that we yield to. It is now an ‘alongside' life, and certain things in us must decrease so the expression of Jesus in us can increase. God is not playing hard to get in this relational encounter - we are! And what excuse are we left with if we have been told the truth of his ongoing love and forgiveness for us? Is it that we are not interested or is it that we just cannot believe it or trust it to be true? The biggest error is in our being too busy and concerned about our own plans and opinions instead of becoming still and drawing near. If we take a step back and look at our past hopes and disappointments, we might wonder why we may sometimes have feelings of being deprived, or that God has forgotten us and wonder why we have become disheartened. We have all had expectations that have not come to pass, and these may have been sincere intentions that were meant for good, but they were simply misplaced, or even mistimed. God honours our efforts to achieve those things we believe to be right for us just as he paid honour and tribute to his cousin John the Baptist. But just like John, it is when we realize that what we pushed for, was not what God wished for, because he had something different and better. It is then that we realise that he resisted our efforts and outcomes just as we unwittingly resisted his grace to bring us alongside his blessed will for us.  We also realise that many times we walked alone and did not walk alongside him. Paul said ‘I do not frustrate (athete?? -ignore or resist) the grace of God'. Paul did not make the error of letting busyness or self-concern hinder his becoming still and drawing near. Now look at the smaller view and see what has happened today and yesterday in our efforts and how we may have neglected to be still and enquire and wait and trust the one that walks alongside us – because that is where miracles are and that is where they abound. His good will catches up with us in the end as we learn through failures and honest mindful retrospection to stop and return to being alongside him. Even though we are often uncertain in our steps forward because of our human frailty, we can be getting it right in his eyes as long as we are giving him thanks in every situation for; In everything give thanks for this is the will of God for you…'.  Our attitude of faithful trust is that he is at work supernaturally in the world of the unseen to bring all things together for our good, despite our faltering steps. He can bring everything together in a very short time, and nothing is lost. The past is redeemed by our present moment faith for his work being done. He waits for us every moment to return to that NOW place of faith.  

God's Greatest Miracle Text: John 3:1-15 Opening Statement: The Gospel of John is arranged around seven miracles that John calls signs of Christ's glory. The encounter with Nicodemus is not listed as one of the miracles because as far as we can tell he does not accept Christ's offer of eternal life in the context of chapter three, but the majestic promise to be born again qualifies as God's greatest miracle. It is great because of the magnitude of the gift and the fact that this miracle is still being performed today for those who receive Christ's offer of eternal life. I) Inquiring Minds Need to Know (John 3:1-2) Nicodemus had everything the world had to offer. But he was lost. He was unsaved. He possessed a sin-sick soul that needed God's amazing grace to deliver him from sin. A) Nicodemus the Seeker Twice, the Gospel of John tells us that he came to Jesus at night (3:2; 19:39). Why the nocturnal visit? There are several possibilities: 1. Fear. 2. Caution. 3. Accessibility. B) We the Seeker The Bible says that God has set eternity in our hearts (Ecc. 3:11). The world and the experiences it offers testify of God's glory, but the world can never satisfy the deepest desires of the soul. So, if you are an inquiring soul today wondering about a relationship with the Heavenly Father, don't put it off, come to God who is longing to have a relationship with you through Jesus His son. II) Intriguing Mystery Revealed (John 3:3-8) A) Heavenly Journey We're often so eager to understand what it means to be "born again" that we miss what Jesus is saying about the Kingdom. Jesus tells us two things about the Kingdom: 1. The Kingdom is spiritually discerned 2. The Kingdom is spiritually entered Therefore, Jesus responds to the inquiry of Nicodemus with an intriguing mystery of being born again. B) Heavenly Birth There are two parts to this heavenly birth. 1) God's Part The concept of being born again reveals the spiritual principle of Unseen Reality. Jesus proclaims that a man needs to be born twice-once by water referring to a physical birth and a second birth by the Spirit of God. Consider these places where this concept of being born again is used elsewhere in the New Testament. (John 1:12-13) (1 John 3:9) (1 John 5:1) (1 Peter 1:23) 2) Our Part So, in this context, I believe Jesus is saying to Nicodemus and to us: You must be born anew by your own repentance and humbling yourself before God and the Holy Spirit's divine regenerative work within you. You can't enter the Kingdom of God by your own effort. You must surrender yourself to God! III) Inspiring Message to All (John 3:14-15) Jesus is sharing an inspiring message to Nicodemus about the relationship of faith and life. Jesus' teaching on the exclusive entrance into the kingdom is not an arrogant claim; it is a bold and inspiring message. His invitation to be born again is Available to All. Jesus would explain a few verses later in the text by saying eternal life is available to "whosoever believes in Him." Not only is being born again available to All, but it is also Accomplished by God. God accomplishes our salvation. He performs a creative work to give us a new spiritual life, a one-time, good for eternity, entrance into the kingdom of God. I don't know about you but that sounds good to me. In Closing: How would you describe your spiritual condition? Are you interested in spiritual things? The Bible says all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. The world will never meet the deepest hunger of your soul. Will you accept God's offer to be born again today? Will you receive God's greatest miracle?

The One who Dies for All (John 11:45-57) by Harvest Church

As we journey through the letter, we will discover that there were believers who had abandoned their original faith in Jesus Christ. The main purpose of this letter makes it so important and so relevant to us today. Just like today, the faith of the believers is being challenged greatly by the world, by the systems & values of the world. When life is getting you down, we need to get a faith-lift. Not a face-lift. As we begin with 1 John 1:1-2 you will understand why we can trust John's writing in this epistle. This letter is not a fiction nor a collections of a historian. But of a first-hand witness, a personal experience. Not witness of a crime but witness of eternal life. All John wanted his readers to get is simply this - TRUE LIFE! Which is something much needed in the world today because the devil has been relentless robbing people of life and church-going Christians are not exempted.

And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and he shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.Revelation 21:9–10 Now, his great city is not like anything you and I might imagine. No artist has ever come close to capturing the image of this city. And, of course, anyone who has visited the old city of Jerusalem as it now is can dismiss that out of hand. One wonders how anyone can refer to Jerusalem as beautiful or golden when one visits the city on the ground. What’s there now is not what was and certainly not what will be. Not even John who saw this vision could really do it justice. The vision is found in Revelation chapter 21 and we’re beginning along about verse nine. This is part of the final vision of John in the Book of Revelation. We have to remember that this is a vision. It was very vivid and very real to John. Also remember that no man had ever seen anything like this. All John could do is tell us what he saw in terms of what he had previously seen in his lifetime. After all, he had his language, he had his vocabulary, he had his imagery. That’s all he had to work with, and what he was seeing, well, he must have felt totally inadequate to the task. But he continued: And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, On the east three gates; on the north three Gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.Revelation 21:10–14 Now it strikes me, and perhaps it strikes you the same way, a little odd, how often the 12 tribes of Israel come into play in a prophecy dealing with the very end of time. You would have thought that some of these in the Old Testament would have long since faded from the scene and would no longer be relevant, but here they are. You have 12 gates, and every gate has the name of one of the 12 tribes. You have 12 foundations, and the names of the 12 apostles are on those foundations, and Jesus said that the 12 apostles would sit on 12 thrones judging the 12 tribes of Israel in his kingdom. Well, I guess what we have to conclude is that when all is said and done, God is not yet finished with the 12 tribes.

"Rod Serling who used to do a show called the Twilight Zone. This was an unusual show about a boy who had the ability, the gift to see into the future and everyday he would do his personal TV show and he would tell the people what's going to happen tomorrow. Needless to say, the whole world watched as he would give them a prophecy of the next day. One day he told his mom he couldn't do the show. She said, you've got to do the show. There's millions of people watching. Millions of people depending upon what you say about the next day to come in the events that are going to come. And he said, mom, I can't. I can't. I just can't go. And finally she talked him into it and the boy appeared before the camera and then he began to tell the story of the next day." Family Discussion: What is the object of your worship? Who Do you spend your time worshiping? If you could go to a stadium and you could see anything on the field, you could see to spend hours adoring it, admiring what would you want on the field? Transcription: 00:14          It's been 30 years, but I'll never forget the little TV show I saw. I think the author of the show was Rod Serling who used to do a show called the Twilight Zone. This was an unusual show about a boy who had the ability, the gift to see into the future and everyday he would do his personal TV show and he would tell the people what's going to happen tomorrow. Needless to say, the whole world watched as he would give them a prophecy of the next day. One day he told his mom he couldn't do the show. She said, you've got to do the show. There's millions of people watching. Millions of people depending upon what you say about the next day to come in the events that are going to come. And he said, mom, I can't. I can't. I just can't go. And finally she talked him into it and the boy appeared before the camera and then he began to tell the story of the next day.   01:00          And the day would be the day the sun wouldn't come up again. There'd be no sun. The world would be in darkness. The world would freeze and everyone would freeze to death. It was an awful ending to an awful show. But what would you do if you could see tomorrow? What would you do with your life if you knew tomorrow would be the day the sun would never shine again? This book begins in Chapter Four. When God says to John, come up here and I will show you what must take place after these things. So the book begins to unfold after the age of the church, after the age that we're in today of the gathering of the men and women under Christ, the gathering of the gentiles and the building of Christ's body. Now God shows John what will take place after this age. Revelation four verses nine through 11.   01:48          John says this, "and when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne to him who lives forever and ever to 24 elders will fall down before him, who sits on the throne and will worship him, who lives forever and ever and will cast their crowns before the throne. Saying worthy are you, oh Lord and God to receive glory and honor and power for you created all things and because of your will, they existed and were created." All John can do when he sees the future and God brings him up to show him the things that are going to take place, he falls down on his knees. He begins to worship Jesus. You know, my question for you today is what's on your iPod and not just what's on your iPod, what's on your computer? You could tell so much about a man when you look at a man's iPod, when you look at a man's computer trail, when you look at the DVDs that are in the shelf that a man spends time on and watches.   02:42          Because you can see the object of a man's worship. And so often our worship is football teams. You know, as people pack the stadiums by the tens of thousands. So often our worship is, you know, the American idol. You know, the Heisman trophy winners, you know, the supermodels that come down the runways. But Jesus says in this scripture points out that at the end, all that we will do is have worship on our iPods. All that we will do is have worship in our hearts and in our minds, in our heart will be consumed with worship. You know, I have two friends that are great musicians in two parts of the country. In fact, they've won, I suppose about every award in music you can win. But both these two friends, although they don't really know each other that well, but both these two friends in the middle of their stardom, in the middle of the, you know, their greatest times of success in their music careers, both of them were bored.   03:40          Both of them had reached the point of, of ultimate success in music. You know, topping the charts and you know, radio all over that really the world. But then both of them on an individual basis begin to sing worship and their wives became fulfilled again and their hearts begin to wrap around the greatest music that there is. The music of worshiping Jesus. And that became the iPod that they began to sing. And so it will be with you. And so my question to you today is one, what is the object of your worship? Who Do you spend your time worshiping? If you could go to a stadium and you could see anything on the field, you could see to spend hours adoring it, admiring what would you want on the field? And the second question, if you're bored, if your life is distraught, if you're going through depression or meaninglessness, fill your iPod with praise and worship. Fill your DVD shelves with praise and worship. Fill your computer trail with praise and worship and watch your life come alive.

*The Beatles fue una banda de pop/rock inglesa activa durante la década de 1960, y reconocida como la más exitosa comercialmente y la más alabada por la crítica en la historia de la música popular.1?2?3?4?5? Formada en Liverpool, estuvo constituida desde 1962 por John Lennon (guitarra rítmica, vocalista), Paul McCartney (bajo, vocalista), George Harrison (guitarra solista, vocalista) y Ringo Starr (batería, vocalista). Enraizada en el skiffle y el rock and roll de los años 1950, la banda trabajó más tarde con distintos géneros musicales, que iban desde las baladas pop hasta el rock psicodélico, incorporando a menudo elementos clásicos, entre otros, de forma innovadora en sus canciones. La naturaleza de su enorme popularidad, que había emergido primeramente con la moda de la «Beatlemanía», se transformó al tiempo que sus composiciones se volvieron más sofisticadas. Llegaron a ser percibidos como la encarnación de los ideales progresistas, extendiendo su influencia en las revoluciones sociales y culturales de la década de 1960. l 6 de julio de 1961, John Lennon escribió una biografía humorística para el primer número del periódico Mersey Beat, de su amigo Bill Harry.30? Allí John dice: Muchas personas preguntan ¿qué son Beatles? ¿Por qué Beatles? Ugh, Beatles, ¿cómo surgió el nombre? Así que se lo diremos. Surgió en una visión – un hombre apareció en un pastel flameante (flaming pie) y les dijo 'Desde este día en adelante ustedes son Beatles con una 'A'. Gracias, señor hombre, ellos le dijeron, agradeciéndole. John Lennon31 Tendremos el all stars del smooth jazz versionando sus temas *
