Pleas For Mercy

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. 

1 Peter 4:17  (NKJV) 17 For the time has come for judgment to begin at the house of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? source

1 John 1:9 (NKJV) If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  source

John 10:10  (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. source

Day 9

Day 9 of The Giving of Thanks

Food and Someone to share it with.

John 6:35  (NKJV) 35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.  source 

Family

An observation

And the statement was ‘there is no wrong way to make a family’.
I sense the applause. The proponents (stars, if you will) of this thinking are highly admired and thought to be progressive leaders; worthy of followers.

Do we not know they are mere humans? Fallible. Flawed. Without perfect knowledge and given to their own reasoning. Are they not this? Are we all not this?

Then there is GOD.
Creator of all the good there is.
Perfect knowledge.
Perfect love.
Complete and perfect holiness.
He said there is a good and holy way to make a family. (Notwithstanding, families made not in this way can after the fact with repentance be made good and holy.)
Yet He with this perfect love, perfect holiness, perfect intellect, perfect knowledge; He and His Word and Ways are rejected by most.

Even though we are a polluted people swimming in a cesspool, there is an escape. There is hope for this world of needy, unholy people.
For sure there is!
For sure GOD will deliver all who will believe Him.

This is good news. Share with all who will hear.

John 3:16  (NKJV) 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  source

Accepted

I am reading 1 Peter 5:10 and it reads like this:

1 Peter 5:10  (NKJV)10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.  source 

But may the GOD of all grace . . .
What GOD?
The GOD of all grace. All the grace I will ever need. That is Who He is.
Grace.
What is grace anyway? Some say grace is the unmerited favor of GOD.
I don’t disagree with that.
Is there any more?
Grace.
The Hebrew word for our English word grace is chen (with a sign over the e which my keyboard does not have).
According to my Strong’s Interlinear Search, it means Acceptance.
I have been ACCEPTED by Him, the GOD of all grace! And that acceptance is UNMERITED. I did not earn it. I could not earn it. No amount of good works will get me grace. You either.

So, how? How did GOD the perfect Holy One, how did He accept me? Read on.

Who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus!
Jesus must have known what He was talking about when He said:

John 14:6  (NKJV) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.  source

So are you Accepted? How do you know you are?
