A Prayer For The United States Of America

A Prayer For The United States Of America

LORD GOD Almighty; You who called us who were not a people to be a people who desired to worship You in Spirit and Truth; You who made us who were not a nation to be a nation of the Light of Your Kingdom to the nations; You who gave us who had no government a government based on morality, integrity and righteousness (Your Ten Commandments); have mercy on us who have rejected you and turned our back on Your call and purpose for us as a nation.

LORD GOD Almighty, have mercy on us as you bring Your righteous judgment on our nation. Forgive us our sin of rejecting You and Your purpose for us as a nation. Forgive us that we have allowed lies and deception into every level of our government and society. Have mercy on us as You convict us of our sin, showing us every area where we have allowed the will of Your enemy to have preeminence over Your will; where we have allowed immorality to be the norm, where we have allowed those who lack integrity to make the decisions of how we should live our lives.

LORD GOD Almighty, have mercy on us as we have allowed those who serve Your enemy the devil to lead our nation into the darkness that opens the way for his rule over us; that we as a nation would willingly serve and worship the anti-christ and receive his mark when it is offered.

LORD GOD Almighty, You who created everything that exists, You who hold all things in the palm of Your hand and You who dwell in the heart of those who love and obey You; have mercy on us who reject Your call and purpose for us as individuals, families and communities as we pursue Your Kingdom for our own benefit and purposes.

LORD Jesus, risen savior and ascended LORD of creation; have mercy on us who lift up our vision and our name rather than You. Forgive us who use You for our gain and fame rather than Your humility and heart of laying down our life for others as You laid down Your life for us.

Heavenly Father, have mercy on us as you bring correction to our government and society at every level. Expose the liars, the cheaters, those who lack integrity, those who lack morality and those whose agenda is opposed to You; bring them to repentance; but those who do not repent and hold to their lawlessness and rebellion expose them and remove them from their place of influence.

LORD GOD Almighty, have mercy on us as individuals, families, communities and as a nation as You convict us and cleanse us in Your righteous judgment of our sin! Restore us as a nation that is a Light of Your Kingdom to the nations and a friend of Your people Isra’el.

We ask in the name of Jesus Christ , our LORD, Savior, Advocate and Intercessor.

ChristMass 2018

It is December 25, 2018, ChristMass morning and I cannot sleep, so here I am waiting to hear what GOD has to say to me.

The song “Victory In Jesus” keeps running through my mind, “There’s victory in Jesus my savior forever; He sought me and He bought me with His redeeming Blood; He loved me err I knew Him and all my love is due Him; He plunged me to victory beneath His cleansing Blood.”

This song really is the gospel – Our victory is only in Jesus who redeems us by His Blood into eternal life. Not because we hear about Him and what He did but because He pursued us when we did not even know Him. He loved us and saved us by washing away our sins in His Blood.

So why do we celebrate birthdays? In many cultures only certain birthdays are celebrated, ages that have to do with coming of age. In America we celebrate the birth date of family and friends every year they are alive; some even celebrate them of those who have died. We celebrate the birth dates of people we consider famous or worthy by how they lived their life long after they have died.

Most of the world knows about Christmas but today many do not associate it as the birth of Christ. It is a time of showing love by giving gifts and doing good deeds for others, especially those in need.

So why do we not remember that ChristMass is about celebrating the greatest birth in human history? The birth of GOD as a man so that He could save humanity from eternal damnation. Something that GOD planned before He even created humanity and fulfilled at the appointed time in history so that humanity could be saved.

In our western culture it is because those who hate GOD and want to deny that He exists have convinced those who actually believe in GOD and Christ that they should not force their belief on others (which is what they are doing). And many Christians because they are not Christ ians (those who love and obey Christ as He loved and obeyed GOD) have excepted what the GOD haters have said as if it were true. Their reality of hating and denying GOD does not make it truth; GOD is truth.

Those who hate GOD and Christ have the right (by free will) to do so, but they do not what those who love and obey GOD to have the same right to express and live accordingly. I say GOD haters because a true atheist would not care, if someone does not believe is any god why would they care or be offended if someone else did?  There are people who believe that Americans did not go to the moon and they tell their theories of how it was all faked.  So what, most of the world knows that we did and don’t care what those who do not believe have to say. If a person were truly an atheist (some one that does not believe in any god) he would not care if I believed in Jesus and lived my life accordingly. Why would he?

Before I became a Christ ian I believed that there was a GOD but I did not know anything about Him and I did not want to know anything about Him and I ignored those who wanted to tell me about Him, I just did not care. So why would an atheist care or be offended if I believed in Jesus? At the most he might think I was a fool and just blow me off if I tried to tell him about Jesus, but why would he want to tear down all crosses and deny me my American right of freedom of expression?

No, those who claim to be atheists but want to remove all signs of Christ ianity and deny me my right to express what I believe while retaining his right to express what he believes is really just a GOD hater. GOD haters are not atheists they are those who want to remove all evidence of GOD to ease their conscience of the guilt of their lawlessness against GOD in the hopes that they will not be judged for their sin.

The truth is, “As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness even so the Son of Man must be lifted up that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.  GOD so Loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have ever lasing life. GOD did not send His son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes is not condemned but he who does not believe in the only begotten Son of GOD is condemned already. And this is the condemnation, that the Light came into the world and the world hated the Light, but they loved the darkness because their hearts were evil. For everyone who hates the Light does not come to the Light so that his deeds are not exposed. But he that does the truth comes to the Light that his deeds may be seen that they are done in GOD.” John 3:14-21

Christmas or Christ's Mass?

CHRIST’s Mass

Why do we celebrate Chris mass? It was originally Christ’s Mass, the celebration of the birth of the savior of the world. Why are we called Chris tians? We are imitators of Christ and were first called Christ ians at Antioch.

Somewhere in the languages of the western cultures we have morphed Christ into Chris without any care that we are mispronouncing Jesus’ title, The Christ! We never call Jesus the Chris!

Now everyone in the world understands that our pronunciation of Chris tian has the same meaning as Christ ian and everyone is used to this pronunciation and I doubt most Christ ians care.

Does it hurt Jesus’ feelings that we mispronounce His title? I don’t know, He never told me it did or did not; but I have thought about this a lot over the last 2 decades.

And what is it that we celebrate at Christmas time? Christ ians celebrate the birth of the savior of humanity as a human baby through His birth to a virgin woman. We celebrate His miraculous conception by GOD’s Holy Spirit and His life of overcoming sin and temptation as a human man. We celebrate that He obediently went to the cross; having been whipped nearly to death; shed His blood and died in our place so that we are delivered from the power of sin and temptation, healed in our spirit, soul and body and redeemed to our Heavenly Father as His Children, joint heirs with Jesus of the Eternal Kingdom of GOD.

But, I have seldom heard it stated that we are celebrating the promise of GOD for humanity kept. The promise that GOD made before He created the earth or humanity; if you have been a follower of Christ for very long you should know the scripture that says, “…the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.”

Yes, GOD promised to redeem us to Himself before He even created humanity; before He even created everything in the natural realm in which we exist. This is one of the things that we need to be celebrating and not just at this time of year!

Everything that we need to know and understand about GOD is that when we were just a concept of His desire, He already knew that we would need to be redeemed and restored to His original desire for us. So He promised to do that by determining to be born as a human man but not of the human male bloodline, Jesus would be born of GOD by a virgin. Then as the Son of GOD/Son of Man He would do everything that the Father told Him to do and say everything that the Father told Him to say and to yield His will to the Father’s will.

GOD’s promise to humanity was that no matter how far humanity strayed from GOD in our relationship and obedience He would redeem back to Himself all who were willing to give up their natural life for His eternal life by believing in and living for Jesus the Christ.

What has GOD called You to do?

What Has GOD Called You To Do?

You’ve heard it said, “It’s my way or the highway!” and “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” Jesus tells us His way is the highway to Heaven, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life no one comes to the Father except through Me!” “Enter by the narrow gate for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction and there are many who go in by it, because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life and there are few who find it.”

For all those who are looking for the good life and have been taught that it should be easy or prosperous or always victorious, that things will always work out in your favor; please study what Jesus said as recorded in the Gospels and what the life experience of the first believers in Jesus life was like as found in Acts and Foxe’s Book of Martyrs.

Jesus would not have said things like, “No one can take you from the Father.” if someone was not going to try. “Blessed are those who are persecuted for Righteousness’ for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you and say all kinds of evil against you for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in Heaven, for they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” “Your family will persecute you, cause you to be imprisoned and kill you for believing in Me and think they are serving GOD.” unless persecution was going to be a normal part of living the Christian life.

The focus of the modern western Church has become one of comfort and being blessed by GOD because we believe and confess that Jesus is our redeemer. We have forgotten that Jesus is our LORD and Redeemer! He created us from the dust of the earth in Adam, He made us a living spirit at the moment of our conception and formed us in our mother’s womb gifting and calling us for the purpose of His Kingdom on the earth and for eternity. He wrote out the days of our life before any of them existed, He pursued us until we came to the place of seeing our need for salvation and understanding that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He cleansed us in the Blood of the Lamb washing away our sin, filled us with His Spirit making us His living Temple. In return He expects us to live our life for Him as Jesus gave His life for us. Jesus expects us (because He told us) to keep His commandments and to love one another so that the world would know that we are His disciples. We are told to be holy as GOD is Holy, or set apart to GOD, by GOD, for GOD.

Christianity Is Not About What Jesus Can Do For You, It Is About What GOD Called You To Do For Jesus!

What is your gift and calling? What does GOD expect you to do in the earth and for eternity? Many Church leaders teach that this life is a preparation for our eternal call and many teach that we are in the army of GOD doing His warfare in the earth. These are true teachings but most Christians do not believe nor live by this standard. We are called to the warfare of GOD’s Kingdom on the earth, we will be attacked by His enemy the devil and his forces; but Jesus already gave us the victory! We are not to attack but to resist the devil, our offensive work is to preach the Gospel to all the nations and make them disciples of GOD’s Kingdom; to lay hands on the sick and see them recover, to cast out demons and raise the dead.

There are three basic groups of Christians, those who are almost always defeated and asking for prayer because they do not understand why they cannot not access the good life they are always hearing others talk about; those who are looking for a fight with the devil and his cohorts, running around doing things they are not called to do (see Matthew 7:21-23); and those who yield their life and will back to the Father to do the work He has called and gifted them for as Holy Spirit directs.

Study the gospels, Jesus never attacked the devil or people; the devil tempted Jesus and Jesus spoke the Word of GOD; the devil used humans to tempt and attack Jesus and Jesus yielded to the will of the Father even to going to the Cross.

When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi Ha asked His disciples, “Who do men say that I, the son of man am?” They said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” Jesus asked, “Who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ the Son of the Living GOD.” Jesus said, “Blessed are you Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in Heaven. I also say that you are Peter (a stone) and on this rock (foundation) I will build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven.” Then He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ. Matthew 16:13-20

There is still some confusion in the Church about this passage but it should be clear, Jesus said that Simon was also Peter, meaning a stone; Paul teaches that all believers are living stones built on the solid rock foundation of Jesus Christ. Jesus said that the gates of hell will not be victorious against the Church build on the foundation of Christ and the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven is that whatever the Church binds or loses on earth will be bound or loosed in Heaven (this is often misunderstood and misused).

Paul tells us that we are not fighting against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers and rulers of darkness and he tells us to put on our armor for the warfare; helmet of Salvation, breastplate of Righteousness, shoding our feet with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace, the girdle or belt of Truth, the shield of Faith and the sword of the Spirit which is the Living Word. While the shield and sword are both for defense and offence the whole armor is more to resist than to attack. Paul taught us to, “Stand fast in the liberty where Christ has made us free.” to, “Resist the devil and he will flee.” We are never in the scriptures told to attack the devil or those who work for him. While we live in the world we are no longer part of the world and our fight is not against the world, the world is where we live in the natural life. The world was not made for the devil, he was cast out of heaven to the world and he gained rule over the world by Adam’s sin. Humanity was supposed to rule over the world but Adam threw that away by his disobedience to GOD’s one command, “Do not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.”  Before we had the knowledge of good and evil we knew no sin, since humanity acquired that knowledge we have done nothing but sin. Knowing this “Christ was crucified before the foundation of the world.”

Solomon said, “A man’s steps are ordered by the LORD, so how can a person understand his own ways?” “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its’ end is destruction.”

Meaning GOD has ordained our steps or the path of our life; if we go by our own understanding and decisions then we will not understand why the things that happen to us happen. But if we yield our will to the Father and follow the leading of His Spirit then we will be able to have peace no matter what happens to us.

What has GOD called You to do?

What is Trust?

What is Trust?

“What little trust you have!”

Matthew 6:30b CJB

Everyone understands that trust is depending on others to keep their word, that strangers are honest and helpful, that we’re getting a good deal that is trust. We trust the government to have our best interest in the laws they pass, that our schools will actually teach our children what they need to succeed educationally.

But, trust is also hopeful, we trust that we have raised our children so that they will be honest and helpful people, that they will make us proud, that they understand who we are and who they are, that they will love and care for us when we need it.

These are natural trusts, trusts that make life a little easier when they are rewarded by the actions of others. What about trusting GOD? Why is there such a disparity of trust in GOD by Christians?

Some denominations teach that you will not know if you are saved for sure until you die and face GOD. Some teach that if you are not in right standing with GOD when you die, those alive must pray for you and pay penance for you so that you go to heaven. Some teach that you have to be baptized in water to be saved; so some believe that you can be baptized for a dead person so they will go to heaven. Some teach that only the most holy and righteous will go to heaven and the rest will live in the new earth. Some don’t even believe in hell or eternal judgment; that everyone will eventually go to heaven. Some do not believe that the Bible is the Word of GOD for humanity. Yet all these claim to be Christian.

And they all have to do with trusting GOD! If we do not trust that GOD is who He says He is then we cannot trust the Bible. We cannot trust GOD to just redeem us by the shed Blood of Jesus so we have to figure out how to get saved. And there are scriptures that can confuse us when taken out of context, like, “Work out your salvation with fear and trembling.” Many Christians believe that is saying we have to get our life in order for GOD to save us or even help us; that we have to live right by the 10 Commandments; that we have to toe the line.

That is a legalistic way of making sure we are saved and going to heaven. While GOD does require us to live our life by the 10 Commandments that is where trust starts; we have to believe that everything the Bible says is true and that everything that Jesus did is enough. We have to trust like the early Christians did; that the testing, trials and tribulations of life are part of GOD’s conforming us into the image of Christ so that we can do the Father’s works in the earth just as Jesus did. “Father, Your will be done not mine!” “I only do what I see My Father in Heaven doing; I only say what I hear My Father in Heaven saying!”

The reason why so many Christians have a hard time in trusting GOD is they have been taught to not trust that GOD is who He says He is and that the Bible is His divinely inspired Word for humanity. They have been taught that they have to do so much themselves rather than letting GOD work in them His will and purpose. Some denominations teach that GOD wants us to live a happy, prosperous, good life and that the devil, who is a liar, a thief and a murderer (this is true) is just trying to steal what GOD has for us. While on it’s face value this is a true statement they neglect the fact that Jesus said we would be persecuted by family, friends and fellow believers to the point of imprisonment and death. The early believers understood this and even though they praised GOD for the joy of their salvation and proclaimed it through the world doing the will and works of GOD they were persecuted, imprisoned and killed for their faith. Not the good live we hear about in the Western Church world today. Even recently when a missionary was killed trying to reach an unreached people group, Christians criticized him and the mission organization that supported him for doing what he knew GOD called him to do.

When we hear from GOD we have to do what He calls us to do no matter what others think or say; but we do have to do it in His timing and way. It took Jesus just over a year to complete His mission ministry to Israel. He spent 30 years submitting to His earthly parents and local authorities preparing for His one plus year of ministry, but in that time He prepared the disciples to receive His Spirit and to start evangelizing the world; which is still going on.  They understood the cost and they taught the cost to the new believers.

At the moment of our conception GOD gives us a spirit and we became a living being, He then gifts and calls us to live according to His purpose for our life, to the point that He wrote out the days of our life before any of them existed. Now He did create humanity with a free will and He knew that we would rebel so before the foundation of the earth was laid Christ was crucified so that every person born could be saved by faith in Jesus.

Faith as the Bible defines it is, The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1 NKJV) Faith is the issue of trust; if we have faith in GOD then we must trust Him explicitly! Therefore trust works out in every detail of our life. This can be the hard part, trusting GOD for everything by seeking, waiting, learning and doing what we hear from the Bible and hear from His Spirit (Holy Spirit). Faith and trust are the same, if we have faith in GOD then we trust Him; if we trust Him then we have faith in Him.

This is an area where I have my own struggles trusting and waiting; like everything I write about; it is what GOD is dealing with me about.

But those that wait on the LORD will renew their strength; Isaiah 40:31a NKJV

Perseverance is the proof of trust! Holding on till the end of the race, in the race of GOD’s will we do not have to be the first to finish but we have to finish too get the crown. If we trip we have to get up and resume the race. Perseverance is the evidence that we believe the Word of GOD and trust GOD to do what He says.

Trust is always followed by obedience; trust and obedience always go together! If we trust GOD we will be obedient! Jesus learned and was obedient and obedience is a requirement of salvation! (1 Samuel 15:22-23; Hosea 6:6; Luke 2:52; John 8:28-29; Romans 12:1-2; Philippians 2:5-8; Hebrews 5:8)

Study Isaiah 40; Matthew 6; Philippians 2; Hebrew 5

GOD's Purpose!

The three American friends on the 15:17 train to Paris that stopped a terrorist attack were the servants of GOD not just for that moment but at that moment they fulfilled what GOD called them to do.

What I believe does not take away from the bravery of overcoming the situational fear and acting to prevent the death of others; all the persons that resisted and attacked the terrorist and thwarted his plans of a mass murder in the name of his god risked their own lives for themselves and others.

What I believe GOD showed me this morning is that the unknown goal of the terrorist was the murder of someone on that train that GOD was protecting for His own purpose. The terrorist did not even know that, he was just the tool of the devil but GOD had a plan to protect that person (GOD did not reveal to me who it was or why). Those who acted against the terrorist did not know GOD’s ultimate plan, but they knew their purpose at that moment.

Having seen their testimonies on a couple of shows and watched the movie I believe Spencer Stone, the one American who had been through so much in training and preparation was beginning to understand before the event that GOD had prepared him for this moment. He did not get to fulfill his desire to be in the Air Force Pararescue due to a lack of depth perception but all his training came into play at one time for GOD’s purpose.

There were three other men that confronted and helped subdue the terrorist during this attack and all of them whether they understood at the time or not were used by GOD and everyone on the train survived.

This is how the devil works: the devil deceives and destroys a person until they will do without question or regard and with the desire to die in the process the evil he wants done without even knowing the devil’s real reason or underlying purpose.

I have noticed how often after a terrorist attack is thwarted that the terrorist just starts talking to authorities and telling them everything; I believe that is because while under the power of the devil to accomplish the attack once the attack is prevented the devil abandons them as a useless tool no longer good for anything.

This is how GOD works: He forms us in our mother’s womb, calls and gifts us for His Kingdom purposes. He pursues us through our life calling us out of the darkness of the world into the Light of His eternal Kingdom. He uses life’s difficulties and issues to form us into the person He wants us to be, he prepares us to use the gifts He has given us and prepares us to accomplish the call He placed on our life. When things happen along the way that detour our life and keep us from doing His will He still loves us and pursues us and works in our life to get us back on His track for our life. When that one great event happens He does not set us on a shelf but He still has other purposes for us to accomplish for His Kingdom in the earth. If we in this process realize who GOD is and that He has an eternal plan of salvation for us and we become a believer in Jesus then our call will never end (Yes I believe GOD uses people who do not ever come to the full realization of His plan of eternal salvation but have found the call and gifts He gave them and He is able to use them for the purpose of His Kingdom in the earth).

Just a couple of weeks after the terrorist attack Spencer was stabbed in a bar fight, in his home town, more seriously than he had been injured during the terrorist attack. Spencer was in a place where he should not have been as a Christian and this shows that the devil does not forget those whom GOD uses to defeat him. I believe GOD protected Spencer this time just to poke a finger in the devils eye and remind him that GOD loves and keeps those who serve Him.

Remember if you are not serving GOD you are serving the devil!

Proverbs 9

Proverbs 9

From The Complete Jewish Bible

Wisdom has built herself a house; she has carved her seven pillars. She has prepared her food, spiced her wine, and she has set her table. She has sent out her young girls [with invitations]; she calls from the heights of the city, “Whoever is unsure of himself, turn in here!” To someone weak-willed she says, “Come eat my food! Drink the wine I have mixed! Don’t stay unsure of yourself, but live! Walk in the way of understanding!”

Wisdom as introduced in the first 9 chapters of Proverbs is a spirit of GOD not just something we gain by study, experience and prayer. Here she (wisdom is always referred to as a female in the Bible) invites those who are unsure of themselves to partake of the sustenance she has prepared so that they may live; not just the physical life that they already have but the life that GOD calls each of us to live for Him.

“He who corrects a scoffer only gets insulted; reproving a wicked man becomes his blemish. If you reprove a scoffer, he will hate you; if you reprove a wise man, he will love you. Give to a wise man, and he grows still wiser; teach a righteous man, and he will learn still more.”

Here wisdom is teaching us what Jesus taught, that those who have much will receive more and those who have little will lose what they have. We must never stop pressing into GOD but we must always be studying His Word, waiting in His presence and praying in His Spirit (Holy Spirit). Jesus taught that there are those who believe they are saved but they are not; they believe they have a relationship with Him but they do not. How is that? It may be that they have locked in on one aspect of who GOD is and what He has done for humanity and made that a religion. It may be that they have been taught a false doctrine and because they do not study the Bible and wait on GOD and pray in His Spirit that they do not grow into the fuller understanding of who GOD is and what He calls each of us to do in His Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven. There are also those who through their own intellect and pride think they have learned more than all the rest of us or learned all that there is to know of GOD and therefore they also go astray and lead others in their error.

“The fear of ADONAI is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of holy ones is understanding. For with me, your days will be increased; years will be added to your life, if you are wise, your wisdom helps you; but if you scoff, you bear the consequences alone.”

Jesus taught us that we are not to fear men or the devil who can only kill the body; but we are to fear GOD who can destroy both soul and body in hell (eternal death). If we have hearing ears then we should hear what the Spirit says; if we have seeing eyes then we should see what the Spirit does. These are not automatic we have to exercise hearing and seeing by studying the Bible, waiting in the presence of GOD and praying in His Spirit. When we fall into error; whether we come up with it on our own or we just follow what someone else teaches; we alone will stand before GOD in judgment. We, each and every human, has the responsibility to seek GOD first and His righteousness!

The foolish woman is coarse; she doesn’t think, and she doesn’t know a thing. She sits at the door of her house or on a seat at the heights of the city, calling to those who pass by, to those going straight along their ways, “Whoever is unsure of himself, turn in here!” To someone weak-willed she says, “Stolen water is sweet; food eaten in secret is pleasant.” But he doesn’t realize that the dead are there, and that those who accept her invitation are in the depth of Sh’ol.

The foolish woman spoken of in the Proverbs is also a spirit of GOD; a fallen spirit of lawlessness and disobedience to GOD that leads the foolish, lazy and corrupt into greater darkness and deception; into eternal damnation! It is easy for those on the straight and narrow to be lead off the path if they become complacent, satisfied with their place in life, feel they have done enough and just want to enjoy their life or they become hurt and think GOD does not care or has abandoned them. These are lies and deceptions that come from not continuing to study the Bible, waiting on GOD (no matter how long in our terms it takes) and praying in His Spirit.

But GOD is merciful and loving and He has a plan for every person ever conceived! He forgives us our sin in Jesus Christ and He continues to forgive us as we seek Him first and His righteousness. But He expects us to keep seeking, keep knocking, keep praying (asking), keep worshiping and keep rejoicing no matter what is happening!

24 Hours

There is a song about love:

What a Diff'Rence a Day Makes

Dinah Washington

What a difference a day made
Twenty-four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
Where there used to be rain

My yesterday was blue, dear
Today I'm a part of you, dear
My lonely nights are through, dear
Since you said you were mine

Lord, what a difference a day makes
There's a rainbow before me
Skies above can't be stormy
Since that moment of bliss
That thrilling kiss

It's heaven when you
Find romance on your menu
What a difference a day made
And the difference is you

The real difference of 24 little hours is GOD!

In 24 hours millions of children are conceived and GOD gives each one a living spirit, gives them a gift and call for His Kingdom and writes out the days of their lives according to His will for their life. Millions of people die and GOD receives them into their eternal state of judgment or reward. Billions of prayers are spoken or thought and GOD hears and answers each one.

In six consecutive 24 hour days GOD created everything that has to do with humanity.

In three 24 hour days Christ died to redeem us to GOD and remove the veil to His presence; defeated death and hell and took the keys of their domains; and rose from the grave taking away the sting of death.

In one 24 hour day Christ gave His Spirit to His disciples and stared His Church with 5000 new believers.

In one 24 hour day Christ will return, bind the devil and establish His 1000 year reign in Jerusalem.

In one 24 hour day GOD will defeat and judge the devil and all His enemies, judge all humanity living and dead, destroy the earth and heaven and create a new earth and heaven and set up His rule in the New Jerusalem.

The things that we struggle with in any 24 hour day are noting to the things that GOD accomplishes in every 24 hour day. The Bible tells us that GOD loves us so much that nothing or on one can take us from Him. So we should not be overwhelmed by our 24 days and all their activities. We just need to trust Him who holds everything in His hands with our life.
