Power! I Do Declare

'You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you

    and light will shine on your ways.' Job 22:28 (ESV)
Oh that I might have the audacity to believe these words of Eliphaz, even though they were spoken as slander to Job. For Eliphaz assumed wrongly that Job was having his difficulties because he did not know God. This is a dangerous assumption to make. Just because someone is being tried or going through some sort of a test does not make them an enemy of God. I pray that I don't fall into that trap. Nevertheless, I also pray that I might believe with my whole heart that God loves me and is working things out on my behalf and is also lighting my paths.  Amen.
Just as David said, so let it be. "Delight thyself in the Lord, and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart; commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass." (Psalm 37:4-5). What an encouraging word for me this day. Jesus is the Bread of Life. Let's break it down into smaller, bite sized pieces.
To delight; pleasure, happiness, joy, gladness. Sounds positively delicious. I can find joy. God always has something better on His mind for me.
To decide; make a choice from a number of alternatives. This gets a bit more tricky. Isn't this the harder thing to do for some of us? I do not like to make a decision. Decision levels are often based on my disgust levels.
To desire; a strong feeling of wanting to have something or wishing for something to happen. There's those feelings again. Lord can help me in this area of feelings and all I need do is ask.
To establish; accepted and recognized or followed by many people. This becomes my new norm and my habit.
To commit; to pledge or bind, devote, dedicate, obligate. I want to commit all my ways to You Lord.
To trust; believe in the reliability, truth, ability or strength of. My relationship with You Lord has to be built on trust.
To bring it to pass; cause something to happen. I can rest assured that it is always as good as said and done with You Lord. You are omnipotent! But, sometimes I must wait for it. Sometimes it feels like I get stuck in first gear. I need more power. I need Your power Lord God. So, I pray.
So, now I think I am ready to make my declaration and to thank Him. Darkness has to flee. The light of God has brought new clarity to my situation. Here is my prayer. Here is my decree;

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
