Starry, Starry Night

 ' For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.' 2 Corinthians 4:6 (NASB)


It's the same power that told the light to shine out of darkness that illuminates the mind of the Christian. As the moon reflects the light of the sun at night, so be it like the heart of a Christian to reflects the glory of God in the face of His Son. 

A heart, once as dark as night. The light, once created from nothing. Night at once changed to day. Hearts on fire for Glory.

Dear Father
Illuminate our minds with the knowledge of You. Nothing more. Nothing less. Teach us Your ways Lord. Show us the depths of our lost souls and the chaos of our lives without You. Warm our hearts to desire more of You. Open our eyes to see that what we really need in our lives is more of the kind of things that Christ can give. Love. Shine Your light onto the mysteries of the gospel.

We love You Lord. Heal this land Lord. Forgive us where we have failed You. We have strayed. Fallen. Wandered away. Foolishly. We are living with the effects of pride. Restore once more your light to this dry and thirsty people. We long for more of You. We thank You for Your Word. Light our path so that we can find You. Lead us out of the darkness. Save us Lord. Make us Your people, so that we might worship You as our One True Living God.
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
