Do Not Live in Fear

' but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.”' Luke 22:32 (ESV)

Only depend on God. Jesus knew all of his disciples would fall. They would turn on one another. They would deny that they even knew Him. Jesus prayed for them. And after the conflict and they turned again to Jesus, they were able to strengthen one another in the faith.

Dear Father

Thank you that Jesus prays for me. Thank you that He wants the best for me and that He cares for me. No matter what the world takes me through I can keep the faith and turn to Him and find strength to even be an encouragement to my brothers and sisters. Thank you Lord for your strength. Thank you for your mighty hands. Thank you for your grace and mercy. I know that you suffered through my weaknesses so that I might not have to. In you I find my Peace. In you I find Rest. You are my Savior.

Father, I pray for my country this thirty-second day before the election.Keep our President and First Lady healthy. Pray for us Lord. Continue to intercede and to expose the corruption and illuminate the darkness. Thank you for turning us back to you and to the joy that you have planned for us. You are our only Hope. You are our Light.

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
