Places
While praying for someone especially close and dear, I thought of you all. It’s a hope in JESUS for you that is possible and in my thinking so desirable.
That your homes be places in which JESUS is the welcomed and loved King; places filled with prayer and praise; where the Bible is treasured, is the most read of all books and is consistently obeyed; where laughter is abundant and love prevails. Places where reason replaces shouting matches; where chaos is banished and order is welcomed; where cooperation replaces bickering and unhealthy competition. Seems idyllic, doesn’t it? Yet JESUS makes it possible. Let us pray for it till we get it!
Isaiah 32: 17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance for ever.
18 And my people shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings and in quiet resting places

ABBA, thank You. It has not been the morning I planned but I am blessed that it is still well with my soul; I praise You and You alone for that. Thank You. And, HOLY SPIRIT, as I think about this home-life description, it does seem idyllic, perhaps like an impossible dream to some, but day by day, step by step progress can be made; You can be welcomed in a moment as KING and Your Presence can be learned and practiced. Make it so for each soul, each home, that comes here to pray. Thank You for each One, attend them today I pray. We have many matters in mind, some sitting heavy on hearts — You know them least I name them here; least others name them; You know and we thank You for knowing; knowing what is needed; knowing how to position souls to say yes and it is for that we pray; that souls will say yes to You and yield to the homes You have for us. We continue to remember the political arena and personally, ABBA, I am asking You for mercy and revival for us all. I am asking You to rain down grace to repent. I am asking You, HOLY SPIRIT, to convict and convince of sin, of righteousness and judgement to come; as Prophets of Old pleaded for mercy and repented of sin, so do we, ABBA. Encourage the weary I pray, heal the sick and restore the fallen and let us enter into this Work with You, resting wholly and solely on the merits of JESUS our Savior.

Ray Stedman
I am directing you to the words of Ray Stedman today. To pique your interest this is just a portion of what he said:
“What will you be like if you are godlike? Will you be strong? Yes, of course. There is no strength like God’s strength. Will you be filled with power if you are godlike? Oh yes, but be careful. It is a different kind of power than the world desires. It is quieter, less apparent, but far mightier. Will you be happy if you are godlike? Oh yes, but a different kind of happiness than the world is seeking after. Will you be wise and kind? Of course, wiser and kinder than you have ever been before, because that is what God is.”

and read the whole of it. The title is Be Godlike. It is worth the read.
ABBA, many things on my mind this morning, things to do and time slipping away; and more than that people with huge to them problems, troubles so big they don’t know what to do, hope is waning; HOLY SPIRIT, please help them hear You and believe You; help them trust You, help them live GODLIKE. I know, You know it is the only way to survive in this hostile world. Thank You for our IDOKs, each and every one of them, wherever they are in geography and wherever they are in fellowship with You, I pray for them to receive strength from You today; to receive hope, and, ABBA, those with sickness, disease and illnesses of every kind, please heal them. And we are mindful of others, we are remembering their names and faces in this moment, thank You for Your kind attention to them and their needs; and I am mindful, ABBA, that were it not for JESUS this prayer would be meaningless and unfruitful but because of Him You hear and You act. Amen and amen.
