Election Day 2024

Leave a comment

And when we are made privy to the outcome, then what? 

Christians, if we get what we say we want, what are we going to do? 

Are we going to breathe a sigh of relief and go back to our normal habits? Will we still pray as much? Will we proclaim the Gospel of JESUS The CHRIST? Were we proclaiming the Gospel these last four years or were we screaming about temporary discomforts and inconveniences?  Were we all bent out of shape for four years now over the mockery of truth and justice longstanding here? Did we submit ourselves to GOD for Him to shape us to Truth and Justice according to The Scriptures?

What will we do when this election day is over? 

What is GOD interested in with this election? The election outcome? 
He has already decided.
He knows. Who did He choose?
And why?
Did He hear the cry of the people for a king? He did when Israel demanded a king. He gave them what they demanded – Saul! It didn’t go well for them with Saul. 

What/who is America asking for?
HE heard us long before today. The decision was made all these years by what has been done in the every day lives of We The People. 

Again I ask, is America asking for Truth and Justice according to The Scriptures or is America demanding laws to kill their children with sexual perversion and mutilation outside the womb and abortion inside the womb? Is America screaming for relief from responsibilities and accountability for their personal decisions and actions? Is America warring for “freedom” to sin with no consequences?  

An awakening of one kind or the other is on the horizon. 

This I know. GOD is faithful and HE is worthy of our trust – HE is longsuffering and patient BUT there is an end to His longsuffering with the sins of We The People. 

The wait will soon be over — then what?

Heavy Hand

2 Comments

May it be that my own heart is right when I bring Father’s Word to Him in prayer for others. 

I have precious people in my world. They live undone lives—I mean, they live their lives their way, not God’s way.  I don’t say that without thought and compassion. I say this because when people watch our lives, it does not take long to see whether the Bible is our Guide. That is whether we are submitted to the LORDship of JESUS or we run our lives, our way. 

I said that to say this. I came across (probably not the first time) Scripture verses to pray back to Father for the precious people in my life. 

infinite-blessing-7-30-2992945211Psalm 32:4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was drained as in the summer heat.  Selah 
5 Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not hide my iniquity.  I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and You forgave the guilt of my sin.    Selah SOURCE

Father, please lay YOUR Hand heavy upon my precious people, You know their names, and may their strength to resist Your love and grace and conviction of sins be drained like energy in Alabama’s Summer heat. Help them, Father, to acknowledge the sins so easily besetting them; help them to cease to deny their iniquity. I know it is not hidden from you, don’t let them continue to hide it from themselves.  And thank You, thank You that when they confess and turn from their sins to You, You will forgive them. You will lift them up and give them life brand new.  In this prayer, I am bringing them all, Father, each and every one of them asking You for the holy gift of Your heavy hand upon them until they turn and say YES to JESUS.  Amen.
And all GOD’s People said . . .  .

1 Peter, 2024, Hebrews, Questions

Spot-less

Leave a comment

Romans+10-13+Whoever+Calls+On+The+Name+Of+The+Lord+Shall+Be+Saved+brown-2394072552As some of you know I am reading, slowly, through the Bible, not necessarily all in this one year of 2024, but reading through all the same. In my reading, I took note of sacrifices.
If you have read the early Books, you saw the innumerable lambs, goats, rams, doves, and pigeons sacrificed. Constant blood-shed. There was a reason for that. There is no remission of sin without the shedding of blood (Hebrews 9:22) and all this pointed to YESHUA who would come and His sinless Blood would be shed as The Sacrifice for sin. 

Today I read this again for the first time.
1 Peter 2:5.  5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Many times I have been thankful that it is no longer necessary for animal sacrifices to be made; that we do not have to take an animal every time we sin, go before a priest, and sacrifice that spot-less animal in our place for the sin we committed.

However, 1 Peter 2:5 told me sacrifices are not over; spiritual sacrifices are required of us and I am thinking daily; perhaps multiple times daily.

Here’s my note to myself: Oh my! In the Old Testament, they were constantly offering up sacrifices, bloody sacrifices, but now JESUS is that Blood Sacrifice. And we are NOW to offer up spiritual sacrifices and they will be acceptable because of JESUS.
Spiritual Sacrifices.
Am I offering them? 
Am I daily coming to make sacrifices on the Spiritual Altar of my life? 

It’s a valid question, don’t you think?
