Delivering a Dose of Holiness

'But in Mount Zion there shall be those who escape

    and it shall be holy,
and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.
The house of Jacob shall be a fire,
    and the house of Joseph a flame,
    and the house of Esau stubble;
they shall burn them and consume them,
    and there shall be no survivor for the house of Esau,
for the Lord has spoken.' Obadiah 17-18 !ESV)

 Dear Father
Thank You for Your Word. Thank you for the words of the prophet Obadiah. Thank you Lord for the freedoms that we have in America. Through You we are like the house of Jacob and are able to possess our own possessions. We are the House that You built. We pray for our country and her people Lord. Amen!

For we know that You have chosen us and called us to be salt and light. As in the days of Jacob, Joseph and Esau, we see that You chasten Your people for their own good. Just as then, we can see the signs of the times, when the lawless one is unleashed. There is a war going on for souls right now in the heavens and the earth. Jesus, intercede for us. Let Your Light shine on all people. We know that when Your light fades all people suffer. 

 For You are a Good God. You are the God of Justice. You are Sovereign. You cannot tolerate sin. You will act when provoked to destroy the god of Baal. To correct us, You will destroy with fire the very idols and things that have disrespected You. Remove the veil so that all might see. You are the cure. You will deliver us. All we need to do is to take the bad-tasting medicine and out of the ashes will come a Heavenly dose of Holiness.

Even though the world may hate You, and even refuse to acknowledge that You exist, Your people still love and adore You. They will rise up to pray and to act on Your behalf. There are more of us than there are of them. We know who wins. We are blessed by You. We are called to worship You. Your Grace flows through Your people to the benefit of all. We see before our very own eyes, the problems in the world today, when that Grace does not flow and the morals of society decay. We see the problems of man and the structures that he has built with his own hands, to restore peace in order to bring order, but without You they are to no avail. Morals can only be the result of Your moral code and Your righteous Law.


So we pray. and we declare that the world needs You. Strengthen Your people with Your strong right hand. Wake us up before it's too late. Fill Your House with worshipers for Your Righteous Name's sake. Let justice. Restore mercy. Let the world see Jesus through us. Shine Your disinfecting light of Love on us, reveal our sins, so that we might change and show Your Grace and Love and make a difference in our world once again. 

 We need You Lord. We are not ashamed of the Gospel. We are not left without a Comforter. In You, there is Hope for the world. A world that needs You. You will Save us. You will deliver us. Restore us through the Holiness that You bring.

 In Jesus's name
Amen

The Day of the Lord Approaches

Image
' 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 ...

The Look

Image
' 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 ...

A Warrant to Believe

Image
' By “the Lord” what I mean is the Spirit, and in any heart where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is liberty.' 2 Corinthians 3:17 (VOICE ) Holy Spirit thou art welcome in this place. For wherever the Spirit is there is Life and Liberty. The Spirit brings with it freedom. Joy. Believers, we are blessed. God is gracious. Through the Cross, He has given us a way to be free from the law of sin and death. The veil between us and God has been lifted. The Holy Spirit brings the Light of Christ which illuminates and frees us from former blindness and darkness. The Spirit brings regeneration and sanctification as we are changed and made more like Christ everyday. We are free to walk in the ways of the Lord. Oh how we need thee this very hour Holy Spirit. Issue to us a warrant not as in the world and its laws, but of the gospel to believe. We do believe in You. Thank You Lord! Dear Father We repent to You this day, that we have failed to seek more of You. You kno...
