Six Years Ago

Reading a devotion that I wrote more than six (6) years ago (click HERE to read it) words found in Proverbs 16 have seized me and will not let go. I don’t want them to. I want them to lay hold to me and transform me. Look with me.

Proverbs 16 Amplified Bible (AMP)

3 Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed.

via Proverbs 16 AMP – The plans of the mind and orderly – Bible Gateway.

He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will

What would it look like for my thoughts, your thoughts, to be agreeable to ABBA’s will on a continually consistent basis? What would life be like? What would relationships be like? Would the climate change in our homes, in our communities, in our Nation? Would it?

Any thoughts you’d care to share?

I am praying for Regie today. He is having a heart cath this Friday morning. And I’m praying for protection for Americans who love America and who are in danger from those who hate America. These are perilous times.

2 Timothy 3 New King James Version (NKJV)

1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come:
2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good,
4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

via 2 Timothy 3 NKJV – Perilous Times and Perilous Men – But – Bible Gateway.

ABBA, You always hear the prayers of Your children. Thank You. I pray You begin to hear more prayers. More of Your children praying fervent prayers without ceasing. And right now I commit Regie’s heart cath to You, for it to be successful, for it to be very good news, for You to grant him restoration, a very favorable outcome I pray. Words are not coming easily, ABBA. Events in Libya and Egypt, the players in this evil desecration of life, Americans in danger, it’s too much for me to get my soul around. HOLY SPIRIT, intercede for us; intercede for Americans around this globe in places of conflict and hatred, protect them please and LORD JESUS please come quickly and soon and put an end to this hatred. And while we wait for You, JESUS, we want to occupy as You have told us to. Help us commit our works to You and allow You to cause us to be agreeable with Your Will in us and through us. And thank You for reminding me of others; thank You for what You have done for them and what You will yet do.  And for each who gather here for prayer, I ask for strength meet for this day for them and for abundant love for You and others in JESUS name.

Blessings, Friends +++

Remember YOU have the God-given RIGHT to do right in this wrong world!

Get Your Lantern and Ride!

It’s 10:20 AM and the truth is I need to be up and moving about the house, but I’m here. I have been blogging this morning, just not here at The White Stone.  Actually I’ve been several places on the WEB  but I am fresh from KAT’s Meows. I’d be well pleased if you would go over for a visit. Just click HERE. The closing remark is this: For the sake of our children, our grandchildren, our great-grandchildren get YOUR LANTERN and RIDE!

I am pretty choked up about it.  While my post at KAT’s Meows is political in nature, get YOUR LANTERN and RIDE is all-inclusive. I have come to see that the GREAT COMMISSION includes the White House, Capitol Hill, State Houses, City Halls and yes, even School Houses, playgrounds, eating establishments, theaters, beer joints and brothels. 

Matthew 5:16 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in Heaven.
via Matthew 5:16 KJ21 – Let your light so shine before men that – Bible Gateway.

Luke 14:22-23 Amplified Bible (AMP)
22And the servant [returning] said, Sir, what you have commanded me to do has been done, and yet there is room.
23Then the master said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges and urge and constrain [them] to yield and come in, so that my house may be filled.
via Luke 14:22-24 AMP – And the servant returning said Sir what – Bible Gateway.

ABBA, let me do more, let me do more than just write at a blog, ABBA, get my feet dirty rescuing not only America but the world, one soul at a time in JESUS Name.

There are prayers to pray! Praying (PFT) is breathing for Christians. Breathe RED!

Get your LANTERN and RIDE,

Fortunate

As I begin to write, I have doubts this writing will make post; unless the Sweet HOLY SPIRIT cleans it up. You see I am way angry tonight and have been almost all day. I’m angry at greed, corruption and the lack of power I FEEL to correct or fight against injustice.

One I am angry that hubby and I had to pay out today for something that I am quite certain when I get one more piece of evidence will show the expenditure was graft.

Two I am angry that banking establishments have set legal albeit unethical procedures in place for the sole purpose of increasing their profits at our expense.

Three I am angry that I personally cannot reason with the powers that be (or their blind followers) who are destroying this Nation. 

Four I am angry that without a turn of events that I cannot fathom, in November I will have no choice but to vote for a candidate that does not deserve my vote.

Five I am angry that here and there and just about everywhere I look, there is willful blindness, greed, idolatry, waste, reprobate living, just out-and-out stupidity.

I’m not the only one who sees it this way.

Romans 1:21-22Amplified Bible (AMP)
21 Because when they knew and recognized Him as God, they did not honor and glorify Him as God or give Him thanks. But instead they became futile and godless in their thinking [with vain imaginings, foolish reasoning, and stupid speculations] and their senseless minds were darkened.
22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools [professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves].

Ephesians 4:17-19 21st Century King James Version (KJ21)
17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
18 having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them because of the blindness of their heart,
19 who, being past feeling, have given themselves over unto lasciviousness to work all uncleanness with greediness.

2 Peter 3:3 knowing this first: that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts
4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”
5 For of this they are willfully ignorant: . . .
via 2 Peter 3 KJ21 – This second epistle beloved I now write – Bible Gateway.

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing: that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat. The earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy manner of living and godliness,
12 looking for and hastening unto the coming of the Day of God, wherein the heavens, being on fire, shall be dissolved and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14 Therefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless.
via 2 Peter 3 KJ21 – This second epistle beloved I now write – Bible Gateway.

How fortunate for this Nation that the Author of this Scripture is in deed merciful and long-suffering. How fortunate for me He is in complete control. And somehow before I lay my head on my pillow tonight I will by His grace release this anger to Him, receiving His grace to trust and continue to occupy in this hostile land until He returns.

Your prayers for me to remain faithful in this perverse generation are appreciated.

9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
