Messing!

Gallery Leave a comment

I heard myself say, “What good would it do?”

A question was asked on my Facebook feed and many chimed in. I wanted to. I typed in 3 or 4 different comments and erased them before I let out my “What good would it do?” And then I came here. Perhaps I think here I will do some good. Oh somewhere please let me do some good!

Here’s the problem. We can read our Bibles until we wear the print off the pages but until we are CHANGED from the inside out to conform to those Words we have read, we have not believed what we read.  Case in point: when we consider ourselves entertained by and find ourselves extolling the carnal exhibitions of the un-redeemed as awesome – we are messed up!

And speaking of messed up, some stuff I read today has really messed with me!

Americans of all ages are growing more skeptical about the Bible, according to the study. More than 1 in 5 (22%) said they were skeptical of the Bible’s claims in 2016, more than double the 10 percent who were skeptical in 2011.  source 

And the article went on to say this:

While three-quarters of Americans believe that Jesus literally rose from the dead (a finding ABS and Barna call “remarkable”), fewer believe that a historical Daniel survived the lions’ den (65%), that Moses actually parted the Red Sea (64%), or that David literally killed Goliath with his slingshot (63%).  same source 

And I said let me get this straight. Three-quarters of Americans believe JESUS rose from the dead. Really?! Three-quarters of Americans believe that JESUS CHRIST the very Son of GOD was graveyard dead, heart stopped beating, brain stopped functioning, no pulse, stone cold dead and then in three days His heart is beating again and His is out of that grave alive and well, walking, talking, laughing and eating with His disciplines. Three-quarters of all Americans believe that?!
Then how come this place is in such a hellish mess if so many of us believe this?

And. And. Get this! They purportedly believe that JESUS arose from the dead but they don’t believe that same GOD stopped the mouths of lions from eating Daniel! Are you kidding me?!

And they don’t believe that same GOD empowered David to sling a stone smack dab into the forehead of a godless giant, sending him to the ground. Seriously?!

He can raise His Son from the dead but He can’t do the rest that is recorded in Scripture?  I’m still scratching my head over this!

One more current event and I will bring this rant to a close.

Protesters.

Obviously the media outlets are going to continue giving them coverage and they are going to continue marching.  We can’t stop them from marching, we can’t stop them from carrying those vulgar signs but there is something we can do.  We can pray. We can pray for GOD to be merciful. We can pray for Him to break into their darkness with the LIGHT of His Gospel. And we can BELIEVE the Bibles we read, obey the GOD we love and be available to serve in JESUS name.

John 20: 26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” 27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.”

28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”

29 Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

30 And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.   source

A Washing (13)

Gallery 1 Comment

Abba, I am here because I think my feet need washing; I have read and heard so much media fodder that I am feeling the filth and I am publicly coming for cleansing because well some of my reading and hearing I have made public. I have ingested more than enough to discern the political climate; the right and the wrong of both scenes and agendas.

Even so I am not buying the lie that we as Your People should be politically silent; I am confessing our lack of participation in the political and public arenas is one of the reasons this Nation You founded is so desperately ill; why I am asking for cleansing is I am overloaded and I need You to balance me. I am confessing that my soul is bleeding for the fate of America. I am so grateful You chose for me to live here in this century for such a time as this and I want to be solid and grounded and balanced to make a holy difference.

You said righteousness exalts a nation and You still have many people in this country that You have made righteous (in position) by the Precious Blood of Your Son and for His sake and ours I am asking You for help for America. I am mindful that You have given every soul born on this planet free will and on November 8 people will exercise their vote. You will be present with every Christian American that does or does not step into that voting booth. I understand that we are all accountable to You for what we do on that day. Some want to separate faith from politics and public living; I know it’s folly from the pit of the evil one, but people have bought into it and I am reeling from the agony of watching this so I am asking for strength and wisdom to stop watching this and commune more with You instead. If there is any soul that You can connect me with that You can touch, that we could come and reason together with so that a righteous decision can be made for November 8 and for all the other days of this life, please let it be and until then let it be that my focus is You.

I’m not asking for a withdrawal just a respite from the inundation of filth, the pandering and all things evil going on in this political season. You know with my passion I need Your help to turn it off and focus on You; to turn the hours to prayer instead. So instead of me trying to inform my world, it is much too big a job for me anyway, I am asking You to step in with Your Mighty Hand as You will so Your Will will be done. I long for Your Rule on this planet instead of man’s. Even so come LORD JESUS and if You would come before November 8 I would like that. And if You tarry, You know best. Thank You, Abba.

Matthew (12)

Abba, I am here to gather with any brother or sister who will join us to pray for people in the path of Matthew, a powerful storm; a storm that promises billions of dollars in property damage. As people temporarily move from the path of the storm and those who stay, I pray for safety, for reason and courtesy to rule their souls. I pray they will seek Your peace and comfort. I trust You to work what is meant for evil to be turned for good for anyone who will ask You and believe You. I have seen You again and again turn what was meant to cause harm and devastation to be turned to better than what was. I pray for practical provisions to be provided in the aftermath and that Your goodness will prevail in the lives of every person affected by this storm.
