The Faithfulness of My Redeemer

He never promised that there would not be trials. So then, my religion doesn't keep me from troubles, but when they do come, my God delivers me from them all. The trials and tests of life I am going through right now, are merely there to help me and I can see Him in it and I can see the end to it is coming near. He is my Faithful Redeemer.

I can see the goal post and I can see my friends standing there cheering me on. My Lord is carrying me through at this point in the race. Funny, how quickly I signed up to run. and just as quickly I realized that I was ill-prepared to win it. Sadly, I needed a coach and a guide through the entire thing. Everyday and in every situation, my Lord was faithful and He was always there for me.

He never criticized me when I had to stop for water breaks. He used that time every time to refresh and purify me and discuss strategy and even to encourage me. He never said 'I told you so' when I complained about sore feet. He used that opportunity to purge me of a complaining nature and to give me a new set of running shoes. He never called me lazy when I complained that the race was too long. He used that moment as an opportunity to chasten me and shared with me His story, about how He carried His cross for me and what heaven was like and how He had went there to prepare a place for me.

Many trials must come to us all as we travel the road to righteousness and He uses them to change us before we reach our Kingdom home in eternity. He makes us perfect through our suffering. He allows us to go through every one and He is merciful and takes us out of each. We are made stronger and are molded in His image because of our suffering. His promises are true.

'Many tribulations be of just men; and the Lord shall deliver them from all these. (Many troubles be to the righteous; but the Lord shall rescue, or save, them out of all of them.)' Psalm 34:19 (WYC)

Dear Father. I thank you that Your promises are true. I thank you that You Love me enough to trust me while I am in it and to help me during this trial you are carrying me through. Forgive me when I fail You and when I fail to see You. My suffering is but for a moment and then Your Glory is revealed through it all. I pray that You never leave me. I pray that the whole world be able to see and believe that You are the Christ. Save us all. Hallelujah! To God be the Glory. In Jesus name. Amen.

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

  ' 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
