Abba, I don’t know how many times a day I get a notice that more and more ungodly acts have been alleged to have been committed at some time or another. And whether they were committed or not I do not know. But You know. You know the Truth. You are truth. So I am here this morning to say Thank You. Thank You that You know the Truth about all this depravity. Thank You that You love We the People. You love this Country. You have heard the prayers of Your people and You are answering us. So with every hideous sin that is alleged to have been committed by every public figure I give You praise; praise that You are allowing the depravity of mankind to shock us into our great need of repentance. Thank You for being so gracious to us. And, Abba, I pray that our sins will hurt so bad and cause so much pain and agony and grief that we will confess them and repent of them in every house in the Nation, especially the political houses as they seem to be the houses vying for power by any means with no regard for You at all. Abba, I am so sorry. I pray they will repent. I pray Your grace will be received by them and they will acknowledge Who You are and that they are sinners in need of repentance. And I pray that You will get all up in this political mess, expose the truth and the lies and who is guilty and who is not. I trust You to individually exonerate and convict as You know is right. I just thank You so much that You have not left us in our sins but You are calling out to us in mercy and grace and with pardon and forgiveness for any and every one who will repent. Thank You. You are great and Awesome and by Your grace I get to love You. Thank You so much for this. Amen and Amen in JESUS HOLY NAME.
12 Then he said to me, “Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words. sourceDaniel 10
I confess when I read this verse this morning it was out of context. I invite you to clickHEREand read the whole of it.
But, before you click, let me share a short word. Do you see these words?
Do not be afraid
Upon reading them I asked what is it in this regard that I must not fear? Daniel had been praying and in response to his prayer he received a heavenly visitor. It is the heavenly visitor that instructed Daniel: “Do not be afraid . . .” So why? Now I think I know why Daniel was afraid. But what might we be afraid of when Father’s response to our prayer seems delayed?
Consider this. When His answers do not quickly come, don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid that He did not hear. Don’t be afraid that He does not care. Just don’t be afraid. Just trust that He IS. Just trust His answer is on the way and it will be right on time! Guaranteed!
Romans 8:1 (CSB)8 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus,source
There’s a word in that verse I really don’t want us to miss!
NOW!
Because of Jesus, those IN Jesus are not condemned! And it’s not just some future time in the sweet bye and bye but today! NOW!
Today if we have exchanged our state of sin-ship for His righteousness we are today NOT condemned. Not condemned to hell. Not condemned to wrath. Not condemned to being an outcast. NOT Condemned!
That is good news!! And if you listen closely you will hear Him say: “you’re welcome.”
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
