A Pillar of Fire

'Do you see what we’ve got? An unshakable kingdom! And do you see how thankful we must be? Not only thankful, but brimming with worship, deeply reverent before God. For God is not an indifferent bystander. He’s actively cleaning house, torching all that needs to burn, and he won’t quit until it’s all cleansed. God himself is Fire!' Hebrews 12:28-29 (MESSAGE)


I will worship the Lord with a thankful heart, full of respect and fear for Him, for He is full of mercy and grace for me and has given me access to His Kingdom that is unshakeable. I am to worship Him. For, whenever I see just what I have been given in Christ, how else am I to live? He is worthy. I live for Him. As a Child of God I am to live with a grateful heart and with lips of praise.

God, You are alive and as active as can be. You are in the house cleaning business. You rip out all of the dirty old warn-out carpets and torch and burn all of the evidence. You never tire and you never shy away from any necessary chore and you keep at it until all of the work of redemption gets done. You can clean us up pretty good. You are the fire. All consuming, but never burning. You manifested Your presence before Moses and the others and went before Israel as a pillar of fire by night during the Exodus from Egypt. Now you light the way for an entirely new generation of people. Be our God and we will be Your people. We love You. We adore You. We can't live without You.

Dear Father
Your Word says Jesus will return in flaming fire. Though we tire and we shy away from the work of cleaning up our sinful messes, Thank You Lord that You never do! Cleanse us now Lord. Keep the fire of judgment burning. Manifest Your presence and power before us. Be our God and we will be Your people.
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

To the 7th Degree

  ' 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
