Sound Mind. Sober Spirit.

'The end of all things is at hand; therefore keep sane and sober for your prayers. Above all hold unfailing your love for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins. Practice hospitality ungrudgingly to one another. As each has received a gift, employ it for one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who utters oracles of God; whoever renders service, as one who renders it by the strength which God supplies; in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.' 1 Peter 4:7-11(RSV)

Major changes are ahead and you know that is true. How can we know the future? We can't. We can only know that the things around us are always changing. Nothing remains the same forever.

How can we be prepared for what lies ahead? Only by the grace of God go I and thus we pray. It is why we fight our important battles on our knees. It is why we accept our assignments.

We pray and we accept our assignments. It is why we remain sane. A General has to study the enemy and be able to make his war plans based on focus and strategic knowledge of the tactics. A good General fights to win. He doesn't have time for distractions. He isn't a lazy warrior, looking for ways out. He doesn't look to avoid the conflict. No. He is ready to face the day head on. Prayed up, armor on, fearless.

We remain sane because the lawless one doesn't fight fair. Sickness. God wants you well. Fight for it. Addictions and ideologies. God wants you clean. Fight for it. Sin. God wants you free. Fight for it. It is a life and death matter. There is too much to lose. There is too much at stake. The enemy comes but to steal, kill and destroy. Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. We may be the only line of defense between our family and the enemy. Keep your focus.That's where our strength lies, in the Lord. He is a mighty warrior. He loves us and has equipped us with the gifts we need. We need to employ.

We pray and we accept our assignments. It is why we remain sober. Would Jesus kiss his drunk bride? Stay calm. Stay steady. Keep your peace. Don't let the enemy steal your joy. Jesus loves His bride. She is so beautiful to Him. He will take care of her. Stay drunk and stay in bed or remain sober and rise to meet your bridegroom! The King! I see it and I believe it. The Church is waking up. Awake to the truth and finding her power and her voice in Him again. To God be the Glory!

Called Forth to Life

'When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last—  the Living One. I was dead and, see, I am alive forever and ever! I also hold the keys of death and hell .' Revelation 1:17-18 (EHV) Dear Father.  Because of You and who You are I do not fear. You are Divine. You are Eternal. You are God. You were here before the world began and will be here at the end. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son Jesus Christ, the Living One, to die for me. I recognized that I was a sinner and I made Jesus Lord of my life. Though You suffered and died, I know that Jesus lives and that He is my life source. Without Him I am nothing. He has complete authority. He has the power over life and death. He controls not only when I die but where I will go after I die as well.You comfort me with Your Word.  Let me be forever grateful and obey Your Word and live my life for Him. Jesus, You alone hav

Sending Out Invitations to the Concert

'We are confident that God is able to orchestrate everything to work toward something good and beautiful when we love Him and accept His invitation to live according to His plan. ' Romans 8:28 (VOICE) One example of God's love can be seen in the book of Esther. Lessons from the Bible can reassure us of God's love for us and they show us that His ways are good and so much higher than our own. How powerful. In Chapter three, the evil ideas of Haman, to have all the Jews exterminated, had been decreed by the king, and the money set aside in an account for the diabolical deeds and the date was set on the calendar for the bloodshed! That part is so incredible, that one man was given that much power. Just imagine it if you were a Jew. The date for the destruction of your entire race was set and the preparations to follow through with it were being made. Thankfully, our God is greater. Our God is able. He is able to confuse the bad plans of men in power. O

To the 7th Degree

  ' Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual' Daniel 3:19 (NIV) To the leaders that are unprepared for the likes of young people full of passion. For the wicked rulers who demand men to bow a knee to them, and worship them like gods. To the world that has lost its way and punishes the faithful to the extreme, even death. We pray for thee. Let the world know that we worship no one but the One True God. Amen. Dear Father We pray for evil leaders that desire to turn their nation into evil. We lift up righteousness and righteous leaders, we lift You up. You are the One True God in whom we serve. You are the Holy God in whom we believe. You provide the God-fearing leaders that we need when we need them. We pray for those leaders. We pray for more people with courage to refuse to bow the knee to mere man. Even when we live in times when there seem
