The Redeemed

'Then Shecaniah son of Jehiel, a descendant of Elam, said to Ezra, “We have been unfaithful to our God, for we have married these pagan women of the land. But in spite of this there is hope for Israel.' Ezra 10:2 (NLT)


 Dear Father,
We have found ourselves in a sad way; the times are troubling but not desperate; the disease is threatening but not incurable. But in spite of all of this gloom and drama and despair that the world has to offer, there is hope for tomorrow; our demise may be prevented by repentance and reformation. 

There is hope for us for tomorrow because we are Your sons and daughters; every kindred, and tongue, and people and nation, we are the descendants of the great Elohim. Hallelujah! The guilty have been restored, because of Your son Jesus the spreading of the virus of sin has been stopped. We are the redeemed! By Your blood, Your judgment upon us has been prevented. By Your stripes, we have been made clean and are healed. Through You, sin and death have been defeated!

The diagnosis was inaccurate. Therefore, we shall not sit down in sorrow and defeat for even a second for there is hope. Yes! We shall arise. We shall be moved to take action; to amend our ways, to call out Your name, and speak this prayer out loud. For You are the Great Healer. You have told us that all we have to do is to ask and to believe. We are asking. We are believing. Your Word is Truth. We trust in You. 

There is hope when we pray and call upon Your great name. Thank you for Your mercy Lord. Thank you for Your forgiveness. We are nothing without You. We offer You our praise of thanksgiving. We love You. Even now, a great harvest of souls, as every cancer cell and coronavirus has to leave in the mighty name of Jesus. 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
