Jack Frost - Experiencing the Fathers Love: A Daily Encounter with Him

ABOUT JACK AND TRISHA FROST

J ack Frost, well-known minister, loving husband and father, died on March 5, 2007, after a heroic battle with cancer. His wisdom and spiritual insights live on through his writings and Shiloh Place Ministries.

Jack Frost grew up in Daytona Beach, Florida, not far from the beach and the intercoastal waterway. During his childhood years, his days were spent fishing, boating, and surfing. In his late teens, he became lost in the hippie and drug culture for a few years. After a couple of scrapes with the law, he fled to Columbia, South Carolina, where he met his future wife, Trisha, who was born and raised in Columbia. They eventually moved back to the Daytona Beach area where they were married in 1975.

Jack worked fishing boats all through his 20s, and he earned a captains license allowing him to captain boats up to 100 tons, or about 125 feet in length. Jack was one of the most successful commercial snapper fishermen in the late 1970s and early 1980s on the southeast coast of the United States.

In 1980, at 27 years of age, Jack had a miraculous encounter with Gods love while fishing alone at sea for three days. This experience set him free from ten years of drug and alcohol problems and fifteen years of pornography addiction. His passion for the sea was exchanged for a desire to see others healed from their brokenness.

Trisha and Jack entered The Salvation Army College for Officers Training in 1982 and graduated in 1984. For the next two years they served in command of The Salvation Army in the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, area. As pastors and heads of their social work programs, they experienced great success even in the midst of family problems, depression, and burnout. This led to their resigning the ministry, and Jack returned to the sea for twenty months as captain of a sport fishing boat that fished for marlin, sailfish, Wahoo, tuna, mackerel, and Maui Maui.

In 1988, they accepted a position as associate pastors at Evangel Cathedral in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Old patterns of burnout and depression once more caught up with them, and they resigned in 1991. They spent several months in solitude and prayer as they sought to know God for who He is, not just for what He can do through them in ministry. They also sought out ministers of healing prayer to help them walk through past hurts and disappointments.

Out of their own experience of healing and restoration, they founded Shiloh Place Ministries in 1991 as a safe place for leaders to come and experience personal ministry and equipping them to bring healing to others. Through the years, many pastors, missionaries, and leaders have had their marriages and ministries transformed at Shiloh Place.

Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. And he will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the land with a curse (Malachi 4:5-6).

Then comes the end, when He delivers up the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power (1 Corinthians 15:24).

W e are living in possibly the greatest moment since the beginning of time, when God has begun to restore all things to His sons and daughters in order to prepare them for a great end-time revival. These verses imply that all things began with the Father, and in the end, all things will end with a deeper revelation of the Father.

In the January 1990 issue of Charisma magazine, a prophetic voice to the world was asked: What do you believe the decade of the 1990s holds for the church? His answer: I believe the church is about to experience a revelation of the Fatherhood of God. A new wave of evangelism will result as millions of prodigals will see the Fathers love in the church again.

In the late 1980s, much of the Church had grown lukewarm or complacent in their love for God. Much of it was because we sought to consume the blessings of God upon our own lusts for position, power, or possessions. We continued in our duty, as the voice of the Lord grew dim. We applied our energies to ministry and religious activity. There was a lack of experiential understanding of Father Gods love for His children; thus, many sought for various levels of His love and intimacy through works.

In the early part of the 1990s, Father began drawing us back home to Him by releasing renewal upon the Church once more. Now, the Church is being prepared to become the Fathers house so that millions of prodigals and pre-Christians will see Fathers love, compassion, and forgiveness in us, and thus will desire to come home to Father God. We no longer are just learning about Fathers love; many are actually experiencing Fathers love breaking forth in their area of need: The love of God has been poured out within our hearts (Rom. 5:5). It is no longer enough to just teach on Gods love; we are living in an hour when we are to minister out of our deep personal experiences in Fathers affectionate love.
