No Place to Hide

'Nothing is hidden that won’t be revealed, and nothing is secret that won’t be brought out into the open.' Luke 12:2 (CEB)

The Lord is raising up His army.  His Sword of the Spirit is plunging ever deeper into the hearts of mankind. As increasing darkness falls on the earth it is a symbol to us that the battle is raging, and that Christ is winning and Satan is being defeated.  Praise God.

Taking an inward look at myself can be so humbling. Yes I like to sweep my sins under the carpet. Eventually all of that dirt is going to be exposed. Humiliating? Yes, but I know that God is merciful and that He is polishing me and leading me through my trials to His perfection. There is no place to hide. It's time to check out the broom closet again.

Lord, bring me out into the soul cleansing Light. Your Son's perfect passion, death, resurrection and ascension is all the proof that I need to know that He is perfection, that He is Lord of all. Jesus is more than able to cover my sins. My victory has already been won and that His desire is to change me to be more like Him has eternal consequences.

At the final judgment, all things will be brought out into the open. I shouldn't try to hide anything from Him now. It is the work of Satan to conceal and to work in darkness. God knows my heart and He wants me to see the wickedness that is there, to confront it, to admit it and to confess it. That is the only way to be made whole. There really is no place to hide.

Evil needs to be exposed or be made to come to the surface so that it might be repented of. God sends his Prophets to shine His light to expose the darkness in others. So even in this present darkness, though it's been such a challenging year, I can find my rest and trust in God and live my life as if I know that He is in the middle of it all. Send Your trials Lord in order to perfect me. Send Your Prophets dear Lord. I know I might not like what they have to say, but I won't persecute them. Make me more aware. Make me more like You.

Dear Father

Thank you for exposing my sins so that I might confess them and repent. Forgive me Lord where I have failed You. Nothing is hidden from You. You know my weaknesses. You know me better than I know myself. Bring about Your Glory as we pray 'Kingdom come'.

This forty-eighth day before the elections we pray for the process Lord. Keep our elections fair and honest. Bring to light those that want to try to cheat to win. Expose their dark and evil deeds. Destroy the plans of those that mean to disrupt the process and change the results through deception. Give us eyes to see. Give us ears to hear.

Keep the power in the hands of the electorate and change the hearts of the election officers with evil intentions to be able to accept the results after the votes are counted. No fingers on the scales. No arrogance. No comtempt. In places where it has been corrupted, give us back election integrity and courage. Reign down justice and lock up the lawbreakers. Continue to hold us in Your Just Right Hand. 

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
