From our perspective today the world makes zero sense.
However, from God's perspective everything is crystal clear.
Today did not surprise Him as He knows all things.
We can ask Him why SCOTUS ruled they way they did, but He is under no obligation to answer.
But consider how God is causing this event today to further His Kingdom. Look at the unity of God's people today. Millions of Christians are joining in prayer tonight and will be doing so over the coming days and weeks.
This might be another Great Awakening moment for Christianity. As we go forward there will be lots of opportunities to witness and share the plan of salvation to a lost world....and that would be good.
As we go forward maybe more Christians will become more involved in their local church, pray more, study His Word more....and that would be good.
If one more soul is saved as a result of Christians becoming emboldened to witness....that would be good.
Let's not forget the disciples just after the crucifixion. They were pretty bummed out. But when they got the word He had indeed come back they were revitalized.
Fellow believers....now it is our time to be revitalized.
We know we serve the True, Living God of the Universe. He gave us His Son, Jesus, as a sacrifice for our sins so they would be forgiven....because He loves us.
God is calling His people to prayer.
Will we be like Peter and the disciples and go into Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria and even to the remotest part of the earth?
God is calling us. I pray we listen and respond....and that would be good as Paul wrote in Romans 8:28.
Thank you Lord for blessing us and may we bless the name of the Lord by Whom we are saved.
Amen to that!!
“Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.” ...Psalm 37:7
Father God...we wait in confident expectation knowing that all things are in your hands...we ask therefore that you move as you will in our Nation and among our leaders to bring about your will for this country now.....and in the weeks and months ahead....
Grant us all your discernment when we cannot understand nor see with our own eyes.. that we might see and understand through your eyes, heart and mind...and revive us Oh Lord to trust and depend on you that you know exactly the state of affairs in this land and world.
In Jesus Name,
Amen
A Hearty Amen!
He makes ALL things work together for His good!
We may not understand it at the time, but we have faith in the fact that our Lord is in control and all things work together for His good.
Nothing can separate
Even if I run away
Your love never fails
I know I still make mistakes
You have new mercy for me everyday
Cause Your love never fails
You stay the same through the ages
Your love never changes
There may be pain in the night
But joy comes in the morning
And when the oceans rage
I don't have to be afraid
Because I know that You love me
Your love never fails
The wind is strong and the water's deep
But I'm not alone here in these open seas
Cause Your love never fails
The chasm is far too wide
I never thought I'd reach the other side
But Your love never fails
You make all things work together for my good
AMEN and AMEN!!
Psalm 10:2......”In his arrogance the wicked man hunts down the weak, who are caught in the schemes he devises.”
Lord we pray for the foolish and falsely informed, that your people who are called by your name, might have opportunity to speak with boldness to those who are without you...for we know that Politics nor Man can change the heart of the wicked....but it is by the movement of your Holy Spirit that prepares them to hear what they need to hear. Give them hearts willing to listen and respond according to your will.
We ask therefore that you move your Spirit across this land...to every heart who has resisted you but they they might now be open to your Great Salvation so that they might see the truth and be saved.
All this for your Great Glory and Honor,
In Thy Name Jesus,
Amen
“There is no pit so deep that Jesus is not deeper still”...Corrie Boone
I’m here praying too.
Amen!
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread.And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
..”The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.”......”Put them in fear, O LORD, that nations may know themselves to be but men”....Psalm 9:17.,Psalm9:20
In Psalm 31:24 Jesus encourages us....”Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!”
And again in Joshua 1:9
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Amen!
Love and prayers to all brothers and sisters here in CHRIST.
So amazing when God shares His words with us.... and that we come together as this...
God addresses ‘perverted’ Speech”.....
“The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and... “perverted speech I hate”....Prov.8:13
Come on with it!
I join in prayer for our country, a Spiritual renewal, revival or great awakening.
Count me in!
I love the thought of millions reaching out to The Father all at the same time, but isn’t it like asking Him to change His mind about what He has already decreed? He told us we would degenerate into a cesspool before Jesus returns to set things right. I will expend my money and my vote and my words to help foster Christian Conservatism, but will not ask Him to go back on His Word.
