I expected my relief to last longer than 30 minutes! But here I am, cautious and concerned and warned: don’t celebrate too long, don’t celebrate with arrogance. Be kind. Be generous. And get to work LIVING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.

Proverbs 14:34 King James Version  34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

We have a reprieve. Reprieves are for advancing, not retreating, and not squandering. What do we have a reprieve from?  That’s a good question. How do you see it? HOW DOES GOD SEE IT? ASK HIM AND RESPOND ACCORDINGLY. 

Are you wondering how to ask?

My suggestion is to start with your Bible.  Read it. Read it like it is the BEST book you have ever picked up.  Because it is! Read until it becomes alive to you, then do what it says, praying every page of the way. 

I trust that we have a reprieve from the advancement of certain evils. But there are plenty of demons to fight  – armor up! Ephesians 6:11-24 Don’t spend this reprieve playing!  That’s the message. Perhaps we can hear The LORD saying to us: he who has an ear, let him hear. (That he is he or she, you understand.)

Genesis (KJV) 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Mark 12: 30 and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”  Link

This is how we use this reprieve. Study JESUS. The JESUS revealed in Scripture. Read Him. Watch Him. Follow Him. Know Him and be known by Him. (Matthew 7:21-23) In this way, we will not waste this reprieve. Biblically obedient brothers and sisters, I need your prayers! By no stretch of the imagination have I arrived at full obedience but by His Grace, I am moving forward!

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 . . .  .
