Stay Out or Be Locked Up

'“I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away.  They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.  And they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me.  But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told them to you. I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.' John 16:1-4 (ESV)

Dear Father

Protect our hearts during times of trouble. Speak to us from Your Word of Hope. Help us to remain silent when our hearts are broken for You and we are tempted to tell them we are finished. We are done. There is no chance of reconciliation. We will never speak to them again. There are limits Lord. There are points in the chain when we have to protect our own selves first. This is it Lord. In darkness there is a fear and a temptation and that brings with it the falling away. Help us to know you better. Shine your everlasting light on us so that we might be able to see and not stumble.

This thirty-ninth day before the election we pray for clarity. Bind the works of the enemy that deceives. Thank you for giving us a word of warning. We knew the day was coming Lord. Some believers may lose their lives because of Your Name. Some are told to stay out of the church or be locked up! They knew that following you in a pagan world would bring blessings with the trials. Special crowns await those saints and will be placed upon their heads. Keep those that belong to you from falling away. Those overcomers are such an inspiration. Send a strong dose of your Holy Spirit and touch all hearts with the Love of Christ. Justice to the poor and abused. Heal your nation. Heal your people. Set them free.

In Jesus' 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...
