The Cry of the Prophet

 He has buried me in a dark place,
    like those long dead.' Lamentations 3:6 (NLT)

Dear Father.
Thank you for Your Word. I am reminded to pray for those men and women that are in prison for being a Christ-follower. I pray for the missionaries that are in hostile to the Christian faith nations. Please protect them Lord. Shine Your Light upon them.

I pray for those that love You and yet are called to make the ultimate sacrifice and are martyred for their faith. Please continue to take care of their loved ones. Wrap Your loving arms around them. I pray for those among us, living in dark cells, cut off from family and friends, often forgotten and yet alive. Their punishment, by evil men - for believing and loving and doing good! Thank you that Your Love sustains us and I thank you that Your Love sustains them.

I pray for Cam's surgery and for her eye-sight to be restored.

Just as the prophet did then, I am reminded to pray for those who mourn their circumstances and who have lost all hope. I pray that their hope be restored and that their faith stay strong. I pray that their lives and freedom be returned to them quickly. You are not a stranger to this kind of torture and inhumane treatment. Remember the Cross and the Tomb.

God forgive us for the evil ways we treat one another. We need hearts changed. Things seem so upside down and turned around right now. But I know that things are not as they appear. That You are shifting and turning it all and are about to make a big change soon enough. We long for the days of peace to return. Things are drawing to a close. This is the end of the end. Our final hour is nearing. So we will wait until that Great Day of the Lord appears. To God be the Glory.

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

' 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
