Let the Feast Begin

 'Get rid of all the old yeast; then you’ll become new dough, just as you are already a people without sin’s leavening influence. You see, the Anointed One is our Passover lamb; He has been sacrificed for us. So let the real feast begin. Get rid of all the old yeast, the yeast of hatred and evil. Throw it out so we can feast on the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.' 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 (VO


 Who among you can tolerate sin? It is the spirit in the Church that tolerates sin that is to be purged so that we may become that for which we are to be, unleavened. For Christ was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace fell upon Him. With His stripes we are healed. Amen.

When we begin to think that we've got it all figured out, there's cause to worry. Pride raises her ugly head. Spiritual pride soon enough creeps in. False doctrines and their false teachers are not to be tolerated. That's when we say 'Give us new hearts Lord'. Keep us in Christ and our deeds holy. Shake out the chaff among us. Keep the fires of righteousness burning. We are nothing without You Lord.
  
Who can live even a day without faith? Our deeds are powerless and ineffective without Jesus and His Holiness. We need the Bread of Life to sustain us. Old yeast be gone! Let the real feast of righteousness begin.

 Dear Father. You are our King. We honor You, Lord Jesus. Fear of judgement and death pass over us this day. Sin is a heavy weight and a burden, the cross which You carried for me. Clean us up Lord. Christ be alive in us. You are our Bread of Life. Holy Spirit, reveal to us if there be any sin of offense and unforgiveness in us that separates us from You. 

We pray for our nation. America the beautiful and her people belong to You. We've turned away. We've lost our way. We've looked to new ideas that haven't worked. Forgive us. Lord, make us more like You again. Make America great again with Liberty and Justice for all. She has done many great things for the nation and for the world. Strengthen her families. Make safe her people's property. Let the Church take back authority. All in Your mighty name. Remove the politicians that want to destroy her. Remove the veil of darkness and shine Your Light of Life on us! Keep the election workers safe.

Remove the old yeast of malice and evil and place in us a new heart, with Christ as our Lord, and let the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth reign in us. It is Your Will. So that we might serve You better. That You should reign. That You should reign in us. In Jesus's name. Amen.

The Day of the Lord Approaches

' 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

Up is Down Times

‘What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.’ Isaiah 5:20.   The Word of God really is like a light unto my feet, it illuminates my thoughts, it justifies my behaviors. The Word of God is good.    The Word of God is good because it reveals the Truth. God is Truth. God warns those that light up the darkness in order to rebel against Him. Darkness is sin. And in darkness sin is used to cover up sin. Lies are told to justify the ungodly; bitter is sweet, dark is light, up is down. Woe to those that condone and therefore justify sin. God will deal with them justly. God is Holy. Justice will be served.   And don't we see it being played out on the intellectual side? Being smart in the ways of the world might gain you some position of power and some stuff, but worldliness is lacking in righteousness and it will never prevail. There is nothing wrong with having nice things, bu

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
