Many Things

North Korea. 
Abba, the man wants to kill people. He is craving the blood of people who have done him no harm. People whose faces he has never seen. Such evil comes from the enemy. This man it seems to me is either utterly deceived or he is given over to the Evil One. You know, Abba. I am asking You to stop this man; to stop him from killing more people. To stop him from this path he has set for himself. I pray he will not be allowed to do this evil he intends. My first desire for him is to be saved; for him to repent and love Jesus. If that will not be, if he will not allow that to be I pray You will render him harmless to the Nations. I pray China, South Korea, America and any Others will not mess up here. I pray we respond wisely and timely.
I am asking You to surround President Trump with wise people who have given their ears to You so they can advise him wisely. I pray he too will hear You and act accordingly. 
DACA. Honestly, forgive me if I am wrong and correct me, that does not seem to be an immediate need in light of North Korea. I think it does need addressing and I pray it will be wisely resolved as You will it to be.
Irma. A promise of more devastation for land and people in its path. Would You be willing to turn it back out to sea and let it die out there? I pray You will; but even if You don’t we will trust You to preserve lives and restore what winds and water take away. 
News Media. Abba, the News Medias, we cannot shut their mouths but we can stop our ears and I pray You will move Your people to do this. To turn off the Media, give them no audience to lie to and to manipulate. And would You raise up means to enlighten us to what is real in this world that You want us to pray over and put hands and feet to help and be a conduit of Your grace? 
People. Just in my small circle there are life altering and life ending illnesses and diseases in the bodies of people I care about. What do I pray? For pain relief? For healing? For confidence? For peace? For steady trust? Yes, all these things but mostly that You will be loved, adored and seen for the GOD of all comfort that You are. And for souls to be rescued from hell and the sick to be made whole.  
There is more but it is for these things I openly pray and ask that others will also petition You to move on these matters in the Name of Your Holy Son and our Savior Jesus.  amen and

Choose Wisely

As I write, our Facebook feeds tell us one is dead and one injured; our major Interstate (North and South for miles) is closed; HazMat has relieved us with news: no hazard substance to fear.

Of this I am certain this dear man did not step up into his vehicle this morning expecting to die today. Earlier this morning, JT and I attended the funeral of a sweet friend’s mother.

People. Death. Is. Certain.

The testimony given at the service this morning assured me my friend’s mother safely arrived in Heaven on Sunday.  The Minister explained well the way of Salvation. Jesus paid it all. Paid for all the sins of mankind. We could say He wrote a blank check for each of us.  There’s no catch but there is a condition. We must individually accept the check, endorse it, and take it to the Bank.

We accept the check by faith, knowing we NEED The Savior, that we cannot pay our own sin debt.  By faith we endorse that check with our mouths confessing our faith in the LORD JESUS CHRIST not just as the Savior of the world but MY Savior; and we take that check to the bank when we say Thank You LORD JESUS for saving me.

Death is certain.
Two Destinations.
Individually we choose.
Choose wisely. 

Roman Road

Romans 10:  because if you acknowledge and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord [recognizing His power, authority, and majesty as God], and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart a person believes [in Christ as Savior] resulting in his justification [that is, being made righteous—being freed of the guilt of sin and made acceptable to God]; and with the mouth he acknowledges and confesses [his faith openly], resulting in and confirming [his] salvation.  (Amp) Source

Houston 

Abba, I am confident and certain that You love the people of Houston and all in Texas; I am specifically coming on behalf of those affected by the storm. Thank You for the lives You have already saved. For the homes and belongings You have spared and for those not, I pray they will believe You for better than they lost. People who say they know have said it will take years for Houston to recover. I pray You will bring a full recovery sooner than expected and more than they can imagine. You know I am especially thinking of Beth and her family. I pray she will get safely home to them soon. Comfort and woo the people to Yourself by Your kindness and with the kindness of Your people taught and led by You, Holy Spirit. Help us help them in Jesus name.

Petition for Squelching

I read a statement; I do not know the Author, nor can I quote verbatim.
In paraphrase, the jest is this: So how senseless is it to let this present conflict escalate into another Civil War fighting about the last one? The one that ended 152 years ago! Will another one undo the last one? Make it un-happen? Erase it? Change it? 

Abba, this is an unholy scrimmage and I am asking you to squelch it before it goes nationwide. Thank You for every sweet fellowship we enjoy and our encounters with people in our world whose skin colors vary but Your Spirit within us is always the same. I remember her. So do You. We never saw her before in our lives but right there in the isle of Wal-Mart we parted with hugs. You did that! I am so grateful! Cause it to happen all over this nation, please. If people will cooperate with You it will happen. Holy Spirit do what only You can do for the glory of the name of Jesus and the good of we the people.  I pray for peace in America.
