The Choir

 Pausing some moments between my Fitbit steps I caught a little news today. For the sake of dignity I will not name names and just in case this posting reaches beyond the ‘choir’ here’s the Father’s plea.

 2 Corinthians 6:17 Therefore, come out from among unbelievers, and separate yourselves from them, says the Lord. Don’t touch their filthy things, and I will welcome you.  source

Entertainment.  I’d be a liar if I denied I enjoy being entertained. Movies, music,  television, plays, books, social gatherings, and food even; all are forms of entertainment for me. Albeit some movies, some music, some television, some of all the above I shun like the plague.

Why?  2 Corinthians 6:17.

Some things are just not worthy of my senses. I am confident that the ‘choir’ agrees. Please help me pray that the ‘congregation’ will join us. 

We have the Right to do Right
in this Wrong World,

1 Samuel, Prayers for We the People

Hannah’s Prayer

Abba, thank You for the morning; the sunshine is soothing and comforting to behold; thank You for the people who worked all night to restore electricity to many of us. Thank You for strength to cook and clean and be up and moving this day.
As I heard the men talking on Christian Talk Radio I am sorely tempted. Tempted to anger, tempted to frustration and even hopelessness but then there is You. Republicans and Democrats fighting and accomplishing little, vying and jockeying to feather their own nests; it is so wrong and it infuriates me. It makes me want to plait a whip and turn over their tables but wisdom and opportunity says that is not my place so I am here petitioning You for help; help for me to be holy in my thoughts, my words and my deeds and asking You to mess with these people; asking You to mess with elected officials individually and politically. I long to see You get their attention. I am so sorry for the evil that is going on here. I am so sorry that there is even a planned parenthood to fund or not fund. I would so love to see You shut all those places down. Is there anything I can do; we can do to help people not be afraid to do what is right? Fear, an emotion that gets us into so much trouble and grief. Help me be afraid of NOTHING but displeasing You. Help me stand in holy boldness and do what is right, right here where I am and everywhere You would be pleased to send me. Adonai, Holy Spirit, I am asking for laborers; prayer laborers-warriors, enough to change minds and hearts, enough to turn people from Satan to You.
This group, these Praying Together women, increase us I pray, increase prayers around America; increase the love, obedience and devotion of we your people and let us see You transform lives I pray – even our very own, each of us. Inspire and empower and move us to be willing to be conduits of Your Holy Spirit to see people rescued, saved from sin and the clutches of Satan. Do a work in our hearts so that we are not satisfied unless we are seeing people turn to faith in YOU. Adonai, bring again the fire of Your Early church to tell others that You save! You said You would pour out Your Spirit on sons and daughters, this daughter is asking for what You have for me, for each of us and if we are not ready yet please get us ready for Jesus sake. I love you LORD; help me love You more.

1 Samuel 2:1-3  (NKJV)

2 And Hannah prayed and said:

“My heart rejoices in the Lord;
My horn is exalted in the Lord.
I smile at my enemies,
Because I rejoice in Your salvation.
2 “No one is holy like the Lord,
For there is none besides You,
Nor is there any rock like our God. 
3 “Talk no more so very proudly;
Let no arrogance come from your mouth,
For the Lord is the God of knowledge;
And by Him actions are weighed.  source

Sticky Wicket

Gallery 3 Comments

The details escape me at the moment but seems there was some teaching decades back that as the wrapping up of this earthly experience moves closer to its final round it will become easy to distinguish Christ Followers from all others. I think that has merit not only in matters of our relationship with JESUS but with one another.

Perhaps we can agree there is a widening of the gap between people identified as Conservatives and people identified as Liberals.  Albeit the sharp contrast does help for identifying purposes; yet it is not without sorrow and pain. When I see/hear the world jawing and protesting about anything, I know right away it is likely I am compelled by the Word of GOD to refuse to align myself with the matter that has given rise to the uproar. Which only poses a sticky wicket for me if some member of my family or a friend has aligned themselves with the jawing ones. When that happens I have two choices,  I can explode on them or I can pray, choose my words wisely, or perhaps offer no words at all, continue to love and pray some more.

Right about now I’d like to quote the Whole of the Bible because it is the Whole Word of GOD that must be our plumb-line for sticky wickets and/or all out spiritual war.

Matthew 10:16 (NKJV)  Persecutions Are Coming 16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.  source 

These are exciting and challenging times to live and breathe the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST.  Let us pray for one another that we put on the full armor of GOD every day.

Pursuing Him  ΑΩ
