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!

The Day of the Lord Approaches

Image
' not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.' Hebrews 10:25 (VOICE) Days of future trials are coming and yet are here. Last days. The day of His return approaches. No one knows the hour. So we are told to be even more diligent in our calling. We should be always watching, praying and bringing a word of encouragement to one another through the power of God. For what signs and wonders happen in the House of the Lord! Oh so amazing. The Miraculous. God provides the Fire. The battle is the Lords. We are told not to fret but only to enjoy the ride as we thank Him. So as I pray I want to thank you Lord. I am totally devoted to You. Equip me to preach the gospel. Now is the time and I will not forget my mission. As I arise I will not forget to put on my Full Armor of God. I will cling to your Bible. I am committed to carry it with me. I will hold it up as a sword in the town ...

The Look

Image
' Looking straight into their eyes, Jesus replied, “Humanly speaking, no one, because no one can save himself . But what seems impossible to you is never impossible to God!”' Matthew 19:26 (TPT) So if the poor deal with envy and the rich with pride, who then can get in? Who can be saved? None, except through the grace of God. Only God can save us. Only God can change the hearts and minds of men. Nothing is impossible to Him.  Dear Father Thank you for loving us and sending us Your Son Jesus our Savior even while we were yet sinners. When we were sinners You pursued us and turned our hearts toward You.  With just one look You could see into our souls. You knew what we needed. You did what needed to be done. You did the thing that seemed impossible to man. You perfected a Way for us to be reconciled to You and even with our sinful natures. You made converts out of us. It's nothing we could have done on our own without You. We could never doubt You. You cleaned us ...

A Warrant to Believe

Image
' By “the Lord” what I mean is the Spirit, and in any heart where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is liberty.' 2 Corinthians 3:17 (VOICE ) Holy Spirit thou art welcome in this place. For wherever the Spirit is there is Life and Liberty. The Spirit brings with it freedom. Joy. Believers, we are blessed. God is gracious. Through the Cross, He has given us a way to be free from the law of sin and death. The veil between us and God has been lifted. The Holy Spirit brings the Light of Christ which illuminates and frees us from former blindness and darkness. The Spirit brings regeneration and sanctification as we are changed and made more like Christ everyday. We are free to walk in the ways of the Lord. Oh how we need thee this very hour Holy Spirit. Issue to us a warrant not as in the world and its laws, but of the gospel to believe. We do believe in You. Thank You Lord! Dear Father We repent to You this day, that we have failed to seek more of You. You kno...
