Swarming, Hopping, Stripping and Cutting

'The Lord says, “I will give you back what you lost to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts, the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts. It was I who sent this great destroying army against you.' Joel 2:25 (NLT)

Dear Father

We are winning. We are taking it all back. The things that we hold dear. The things that you have given us. The music. The arts. The media. The entertainment industry. The schools. The businesses. The courts. The family. The government. The church. All of it. Everything that the enemy has stolen from us through:

    the swarming that have done damage to our balance, God will reunite;

    the hopping that have left us sick, God will heal;

    the stripping that have turned the moral compass, God will clarify; and

.   the cutting that have left us bankrupt, God will restore.

 Recovery through Jesus! Hallelujah.

Lord, You are in it and we couldn't be happier. We have seen your hand in it and we are praying for the enemy to be defeated this day. Thank you for building up this great army of Holy warriors who are willing to beat their drums for you as you lead us into battle. Thank you that we get to live to see the day the chaos ends and the lawbreakers get justice. Thank you that we live to see the power structures established by the enemy fall. Take them down rapidly Lord, one by one in a grand landslide of Biblical proportion. Justice. Your Justice. You can do it. For your name's sake. 

Just as in the days of Joel your promises are true. You always replace the years of famine with years of prosperity. You have allowed us to see the evil army so that our hearts might be receptive to the Gospel. We have been spoiled by a corrupt government system that has ignored what was important to us and even our spiritual needs. You would not allow the abuse to go on for ever. Now you act. Now you move. Your grace is among us and His name is Jesus, the Messiah!

To God be the Glory. You sent in the evil army of locusts like a mighty flood so that we might wake up and return. It is not a lukewarm church that You desire! We are leaner and stronger now, better swimmers, more than ever, because of what you have taught us and taken the time to take us through. You have given us so much more than we deserve. Holy Spirit, keep feeding us, keep the flames high, keep the Fires burning! 

This thirty-eighth day before the election we pray for the electorate. Keep us focused. Keep us strong and healthy. Keep us united. Keep us fighting for this country, for freedom and for the things that we love. For the love of our sons and daughters and grandchildren, we will see this fight for our country and for our God-given rights and values through to victory. What You have given Jehovah, let no man take away.

Thank you Lord.

In Jesus' 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

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
