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.

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
