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 . . .  .

2024, KWT Paraphrasing, Psalms

Under Siege

Leave a comment

I haven’t done this in a while.
Today I am.
A KWT paraphrase. I hope it lights up your Spirit Man.
It has mine.

In a city under siege, it says.

img_3618-1America is under siege—it may not be visible to the natural eye, but a siege is upon us. Western North Carolina is under siege. Florida has siege barreling toward it—yes, we can say we are under siege. All of us are under siege of some nature and kind.

But hear this today.
Psalm 31, beginning with verse 21— He has shown me His loving devotion.

Okay. Here goes. KWT Paraphrase.

How has HE shown me His loving devotion? 
When I was under siege and I was alarmed and thinking the wrong way, by His Grace, even while under siege I called out to HIM. And He heard me. And He helped me.
And now I can say to you all.  
Love the LORD, all His saints.
He preserves the faithful. But oh the arrogant, He will fully repay you. (While I can,  I must plead with you, Please repent while you can.)
To those whose hope is in The LORD, He says, Be strong and courageous. 

While under siege we must think right.
We must not succumb to the voice that says: “I am cut off from Your sight!”
No! We will say: “The LORD preserves the faithful”.
And in CHRIST JESUS we have been made faithful and we have been given Father’s loving devotion to enable us to remain faithful even under siege.  Be strong and courageous.

Never stop praying for one another.
We all need prayer and we all need the practice.
