Quick and Simple

Just a quick and simple word this morning.

All is not lost IF today, you, me, we will turn from our way TO His way. 

 

Isaiah 1:18 Complete Jewish Bible 

18 “Come now,” says Adonai, “let’s talk this over together. Even if your sins are like scarlet, they will be white as snow;
even if they are red as crimson, they will be like wool.  source

1 John 1:9 Amplified Bible  

9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose].  source

Question Answered

Leave a comment

I asked a question recently at my Facebook feed (in summary) if Christians should just let evil flourish. 
I am here with an answer. 

2 Thessalonians 2:5-8
1 John 3:8
Romans 8:9

There may be other passages but these helped me with the question. 

I heard a Minister of the Gospel say we are to stand against evil to prolong the time we can have to preach the Gospel of Salvation. Other than because GOD said so, that’s the best reason I’ve heard to date. 

We know from 2 Thessalonians 2:5-8 that HOLY SPIRIT restrains the Evil One from being fully revealed in this world and He restrains the rise of the Anti-Christ to power at this time. He will not always do that. 
From 1 John 3:8 I know that JESUS came to earth to destroy the works of the Devil, the Evil One. 
From Romans 8:9 I know that every SAVED person is indwelt by HOLY SPIRIT.

So, since HOLY SPIRIT is here to restrain the evil one; since JESUS came to destroy the works of the devil, and since all true Christians have HOLY SPIRIT living within us; it stands to reason that Christians must allow HOLY SPIRIT to resist and restrain evil in this world through us. 

So, what evil do we resist, restrain?
Every stinky form of it that is in this world.
How?
However, HOLY SPIRIT provides us individually and collectively with a way to stand.

Pleas For Mercy

Leave a comment

I confess before these witnesses, Father, that the people of this Land have and are living wickedly and are habitually engaging in acts of evil and as such have earned Your wrath.
I am here to ask You for mercy.
I am asking You to pour out not Your wrath but Your Holy Spirit to convict and convince people of their sins and the sure judgment that shall come without their repentance.
I pray people will be stricken with the revelation that they are undone and You alone can redeem them.
Moreover, I am asking You to put the legal system to work for You as well as investigative minds and personnel to route out and locate perpetrators of illegal acts, bringing them to face earthly justice for their crimes against this Land. I pray for lawful and truthful evidence to be brought forth and that earthly adjudication will be a catalyst You can use to bring them to repentance and salvation, saving them from hell and eternal damnation and give them the opportunity to KNOW You and love You. 
I pray too, Abba, that we the Church, each and every one of us, will receive revelation in our own hearts of our sins and that we will quickly and honestly repent and be filled with Your Holy Spirit to the glory of Yeshua, Your Holy Son, and our Savior and Lord.
