Stand By

 'Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.' 2 Timothy 4:18 (NLT)


 It's not, 'I might', or 'if I could I would' or even 'I should', but no, Paul says that the Lord WILL deliver me. Amen.  So then, deliver me from what, save me from whomever will. Consider this, a world where a man like Paul would have enemies! Isn't that absurd! Isn't that disgusting? So unbelievable, and yet it is true. We know that many have nothing but anger in their hearts for God. and for the men and women of God. So then we must pray and believe that God will put us in His perfect Will and that He will deliver us from all evil attacks and will bring us safely home. So then, what's to stop us from our mission? Praying and believing will dissolve all fear. Praying and believing will drum up the power of the Heavenly host of the God Armies! Amen. 

 Paul dealt with lions, ship wrecks, judges and even the likes of Nero in his day. Because our God is near, we, the called, can absolutely face our own giants. Those that hate us may be road blocks in the way, but God will remove those, so that we might get to the one on the side of the road that is hurting and is open to hearing the Good News! Stand by. And for Paul, he was martyred and transferred from the powers of darkness into his heavenly home and eternal Kingdom of Light. Amen.

 So, as I go through the open doors I never cease to be amazed by what is on the other side! Simply amazed! Walk it out. I just can't seem to get enough. I am inspired by the miracles, the healing, the deliverance, and the power of God. Through prayer He is activated. The Almighty is near and is on display everyday! Through His power I am moved to pray even more. Lord, don't stop! Stand by me. I need You. I need You to keep saving, keep healing, keep delivering! Stand by me and be You. All to Your Glory. Forever and ever! 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
