If the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD nails you a certain early morning – rejoice that HE loves you enough to do so!
Thank You, ABBA, for loving us enough to ‘nail us’ when we have sinned; thank You for loving us enough to correct us; thank You for loving us enough to show us a better way in JESUS name.
Conflicts require folks to take a side, pick a group. Why do we do that to each other?

I am attaching a poorly crafted diagram that speaks a message; not one pleasant to give or receive and perhaps this platform is not even the best place to present it because perhaps you have no conflicts in your Local Assembly of the Body of Christ. We have been praying for revival in the Christian Church. Perhaps this diagram gives a reason (among others) why revival has not come … yet.
ABBA, I am so sorry for these conflicts, please forgive me for being timid when I should have been bold and for being loud when I should have been quiet and help me now to discern the bold, the quiet and the loud appropriately. I pray for group A, group B and group C, for all of us to lay down our agendas and crucify our own flesh and not one another. I know You want different and better for every local gathering of The Body of Christ and I am confident the ultimate reason we are not unified in love is because we have not surrendered to Your Lordship. I am so sorry. Please forgive us; please correct us. Please bless us with HOLY SPIRIT conviction of sin, of righteousness and of judgment to come. And I don’t know how to end this prayer, ABBA, we need You to help us repent. I pray we do in JESUS name.
It takes less than half an hour of viewing a News Media and we are confronted with multiple issues to disturb us. Latimer Putin and Barack Obama to name one; Health Insurance, Unemployment rates, Constitutional violations, to name a few. It’s enough to keep a Body awake at night. Unless . . .

ADONAI, The LORD GOD alone makes you and I live in security in this volatile and nothing about it secure world. And how does He do that? And does He do it for all?
Lets back up a couple of verses and look for answers.
via Ps 4 KJV;CJB – Hear me when I call, O God of my – Bible Gateway.
Here’s what I see. Folks ask Who can show us some good in this climate of turmoil, lack, want and lavish abundance? ADONAI can! And He is ready to fill our hearts with more joy and to enable us to lay down and sleep in peace and arise in joy; but there is a catch (a condition). Are we willing to be satisfied with who He is, what He does and does not do about the grain and new wine of other folks? Are we satisfied with our own grain and new wine? Yes? Then we sleep well, don’t we?
ABBA, thank You for the answers You have given; the healing(s) that are taking place; the situations that You are weaving into something splendid; the strength and courage You are supplying while Some wait; and the peace and comfort You are to Others grieving. Thank You, ABBA, in Yeshua’s mighty name. And we pray now for the Peace of Jerusalem, for Your resolution to conflicts there and in Russia, for repentance and correction and restoration for America and for the Christian Church; big problems as we see them but You are able, ABBA, and we trust You. And, ABBA, I pray for each Reader who comes here to read and pray, that You will feed them, that You will take my offering here and that it will be acceptable to You and fit for You to use to help and encourage them all in the name of Your Blessed and Holy Son, Jesus Christ the Righteous, Yeshua the Messiah.
