2020, Prayers for We the People, Praying with my Sisters and Brothers in Holy Faith

Assurances

I’d like to publicly pray with you. I have posted a few times on Facebook what was meant for evil GOD means for good. I am assured of that. I am assured that we are not alone in this Coronavirus or any other troubling, threatening situation. GOD has not forsaken us; He may not even be fed up with us yet. (insert smile) :)

I’ve watched a bit of News today, reports of people pulling together, helping one another are trickling into the media feed. Do you know how good that is?!

Let us not let this opportunity get away from us. Whether you are a family sequestered at home or even just one and her cat, seek GOD. Seize, grab hold with all you have this opportunity for serious praying, reading Scripture, listening to good music (gospel music even). Hone your skill of listening to the Father and your family. Text, phone,  facetime even with those you love but can’t hang out with right now. Believe that GOD has got you in this and that He is speaking; that you can come through this with a testimony that says it was worth it all!

Let’s pray.

Abba, I am so grateful and thankful for the assurance and the confidence You have given that we are not alone in this and that You are not mad at us, that You are taking what the evil one meant to kill us with to awaken us, help us, lift us up to higher planes of delight and assurance of Your love and grace and sufficiency. I pray our hearts and eyes will open wide willingly and with deep adoration see You at work and to join You in each place you lead. I pray Holy Spirit that You will inspire us and lead us to open the Bible and let You pour Your Word into us like never before. I pray this season of Coronavirus will turn for our good so well and so much that the Evil One will be sorry he ever messed with us. Papa, there are people, if not already, very soon will be hurting for money; for food, rent, car payments and so much more because businesses are closed and paychecks are halted. I ask You to open up provisions for each. And those who are already ill, I ask that You heal them. Please boost immune systems, please get the medicines needed to those who need it and to others, please just touch them and heal them I pray.  I pray we will not miss You in all this; not miss the good and holy things You want to do in our lives and not miss the good that we can do for one another. Mainly, I ask that we individually will accept Your invitation for deeper intimacy with You and Your Word and with those we are privileged to weather this storm with. All this I ask Papa GOD in YESHUA’s sweet, holy name.

2020, Questions, Romans

Therefore

Question. Have you read Romans 1:21-32 lately?

In verse 24, we dare not miss the word, Therefore.  I suppose, you like I, have heard it said when you see a therefore in Scripture, we must ask ourselves what it’s there for. So I do and I did.

Verses 21, 22 and 23 speak of idols; for humans to engage in idol worship something must first occur. Verse 21 tells us what that is.  THEY DID NOT HONOR HIM AS GOD OR GIVE THANKS. ON THE CONTRARY, THEY BECAME WORTHLESS IN THEIR THINKING.

When mankind begins and continues to think they know more than GOD, refuse to honor Him with their day to day living, they become idol worshippers. Is that not what it says?

And as man (and woman too, of course) becomes more and more involved in this worship of creatures rather than the Creator something else happens.

Verse 24.

Therefore.

God gave them over. We can push GOD away so many times that He turns us over to our own way.

Go ahead, read the Text. And when you do you will find GOD is not politically correct, He’s just correct; forever and always correct. Once man and woman have pushed Thus Saith the LORD from their minds, hearts, and will time after time, look what follows.  Every imaginable sin is committed and flaunted by these people. Sexual perversion is not the only sin listed but it is listed. Read. Read the Text for yourself. Click HERE.

Now. Therefore. What actions do we need to take today?

2020, It's a Bonus Post, Romans

How Busy?

May I propose a thought to you?

Romans 1:20.

It’s a familiar verse to us Bible Thumpers.

20 His invisible attributes—His eternal power and His divine nature—have been clearly seen ever since the creation of the world, being understood through the things that have been made. So people are without excuse—   source

Have we considered the reason for the all-out assault Creation has weathered for many decades can be found in this verse?

It says the attributes, eternal power, divine nature have been clearly seen and we can come to some understanding of HIM through His creation.

Attributes. What GOD is like. Well, from creation, even without my Bible,  I know He is way smart and way kind! How He constructed the planet, how it functions in harmony with the bazillion components of it; how mama birds feed baby birds; how dogs love humans; etc. etc. etc.

Eternal power. Just what I can see with my naked eye, let alone a microscope and a telescope, tell me nothing matches His power and it never runs out.

Divine Nature. Yep. Creation tells me I am not like Him. He is divine. I’m not.

So, if I want to know there is a GOD and that HE is good and that HE is kind and loves me, all I have to do is look around me; and even in the mirror.

Is it any wonder then that there would be those who would want to discredit, nullify or just flat-out keep us too busy to look?

2020, A Quick Hello, Praying with my Sisters and Brothers in Holy Faith, Romans

If we want to know why we have received the Grace of GOD; why we have been called to Him let us go to Romans 1:5 and find a glorious answer.

 5 It is through Him that we have received grace and [our] apostleship to promote obedience to the faith and make disciples for His name’s sake among all the Gentiles,  source

To promote obedience to the faith and make disciples for His namesake.

So, if I am not promoting you, reminding you, encouraging you and helping you become more obedient to the Scriptures and helping you become more yielded to JESUS, then I am disobedient to this Word myself.

LORD JESUS, help we Your Church not fail You here. Amen and amen.
