Waiting for the Numbers to be Complete

'The Lord is not slow in doing what he promised—the way some people understand slowness. But God is being patient with you. He does not want anyone to be lost, but he wants all people to change their hearts and lives.' 2 Peter 3:9 (NCV)


 God takes His time for my sake.

My God loves me. He is patient with me. He doesn't want to lose anyone of us. He is waiting for the numbers to be complete. Take the Ark of Noah for example. It takes awhile to build a boat. Boat building takes time. The Ark is no ordinary boat! God is no ordinary God. With every swing of the hammer and hitting of the nail on the head, God brings me closer to a changed heart and a changed life. He puts me in the middle of His Will and gives me the wherewithal to deal with it, while He is dealing with me and taking me to the end of myself so that He can use me. Thank you Lord. Because of You, I am healed.

Dear Father.
Thank you for Your Word. Forgive us for our trespasses Lord. Protect us from the evil intents of China, turn their desires to dominate the world for good. While You wait for the numbers to be complete, consider the one billion lost souls who live there. Forgive them. Hold back the darkness of that evil communist regime. Flood Your Light of Life into their midst. Shake them up dear Lord. We are beginning to see cracks in their armor. Peace Lord. Bring them to repentance. End their cruelty and their evil desires.

Open up the flood gates of Heaven, allow the Holy Truth tellers of Love in through the borders of their hearts. Let them see You Lord. Free the people of China. Cease the spirit of lies and manipulation that has control over them, instead, let the healing flow of the Holy Spirit in to begin its supernatural work of freedom.  Liberate them now dear Lord. Save them. Save them all for eternity's sake.

Uighurs, Uighurs. Uighurs. You have given us a burden for them Lord. We lift them up to You. Lord, we pray for the Christians that are detained in the labor camps there. Set them free Lord.
In Jesus's mighty name.
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 ...

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...
