Wait-Watch-Pray

Now more than ever it is the time for Prayer Warriors to lift their voices in concert pleading for the grace hand of God on the people of the world.  As countries face economic ruin, loss of population, hatred, anger, and refusal of the leaders to recognize the Almighty God as the source of rescue from all these problems, the ordinary child of God must take time to pray for every problem and every person they know.  This Prayer Warrior must lift a broken and contrite heart to God pleading for His rescue. Come Lord Jesus, Come!!!! Take your children home. Come rescue us from the evil that is growing in the world. Please Lord pour your mercy on your people and heal our land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 Most of all may your perfect will be done here on earth as it is in Heaven.  Amen

What can I do to help? Reach out to God DAILY Repent of my sins, asking for a change of attitude Return to God's path following the leadership of God always Revive my yearning to be more like Jesus daily, to become a vessel He can use for His purpose Rely on the TRUTH of God not on the lies of the world. Worship the Holy Trinity - Father, Son, Holy Spirit. I Study the Word of God asking Him to open His Word to my heart, mind, and soul. Then I look for ways to show Jesus to the world - one on one. Please Lord Jesus make me your sieve and pour your love and mercy through me on to those I know and meet.  Thank you Jesus for your mighty power and unmitigated grace.  Thank you for protecting us from harm and protecting our family, friends, and neighbors.  Amen.

These last verses give hope to the believer, as God explains how he will protect His people.  All we have to do is return to God and ask Him to direct our daily lives. God is the leader of the world and has the ultimate power to stop all evil - depend on God to direct your life and protect you from all harm - always. Psalm 91:11-16 For he will give his angels charge over you, to keep you in your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, lest you stumble. You will tread on the young lion and cobra; you will trample the lion and cobra under your feet. "Because he has set his love on Me, I sill deliver him: I will set him on high, because he has known my name. He will call on Me, and I will answer him; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation." Thus says the Lord God, Creator of the Universe. Trust in the Lord and pray for His guidance and strength.

Trust in the Lord for all things.  He created the world and fully understands its complexities.  He understands our finite minds and wants to build a living relationship with His children.  All people need to do is turn to Him and request His forgiveness for sin with a humble contrite heart and broken spirit.  Psalm 91 He who dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, HE is my refuge and my fortress:  My God in whom I trust. Surely he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will trust: His truth will be your shield         and buckler. You shall not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day Nor the pestilence that walks in darkness; nor the arrow that flies by day. A thousand shall fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall...

Standing watching the churning sea, smelling the salt tang waiting as the storm clouds gather I pray. Gazing at Cypress Point realizing the length of time that old tree has clung to its rocky perch, I ask for direction. Through the dark threat of fear and doubt, a beam of light slices through the dense rain bringing a full rainbow arcing across the evening sky, I wait for reasurrance. The Lord God, Most High Creator of the Universe loves His child enough to provide a solution to my problems - my sinful nature. God gave His only son - His most precious love - as a one time sacrifice which continues to welcome anyone who believes in Him. Standing on the crumbling edge, I hear my answer and know that God was, is and always will be. No one has the power to wrench me from Him So now I stand waiting, watching, praying for His guidance protection merciful grace. Giving thanks always Rejoicing in His power and grace. Hoping in the bright future of ...

Worship is giving WORTH to the personal relationship with the Most High God. To expand and improve worship, a person meets God on His level - by praising God no matter how much pain is in the heart by thanking God for His help and guidance during trials and disasters by trusting God when hope and faith seem to be only dim memories of happier times by loving the all Powerful all Mighty Father Creator of the Universe even though He seems distant and hidden from the soul. "At my lowest, God is my HOPE. At my darkest, God is my LIGHT. At my weakest, God is my STRENGTH. At my saddest, God is my CCOMFORTER." Worship the Lord by recognizing your in-ability to do anything without His strength, mercy, love, and grace. God is the source for salvation and the hope of the world.  Turn to God so that you will revive your spirit, renew your relationship with the Holy God, and rely on Him always for all things. TRUST AND OBEY. PRAY WITH A HUMBLE SPIRIT AND A CONTRITE HEA...

In the early morning with soft light illuminating a green cover of grass the birds wake to sing praises to the Most High God, Creator of the Universe. With dawn painting hues of pink, orange, gold over the buds of spring blooming trees, the sheep of God's pasture and the cattle on the hills lift their heads from grazing and look for the coming of the Lord who walks through His garden. The garden made for the relationship He wanted to build with mankind. Throughout the world the children of God rejoice in His power and glory singing praises to the Holy Lamb of God who sacrificed everything for the unbroken relationship between God and Man. Sing with grateful hearts Sing to the Holy One Sing songs of joy praising God always.

God promises to always provide for all of our NEEDS.  He will give us what we need - spiritually, emotionally, physically - a exactly the right time.  God just waits for us to turn to him. During this time of world wide panic and chaos, the children of God have an unlimited resource of peace, comfort and physical help.  Read and apply these scriptures 1 Peter 5:7 Give your worries to God because he cares about you. John 14:1  Jesus said:  "Let not your heart be troubled.  Trust in God, and trust in me." Phillipians 4:6-7  Do not worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks.  and God's peace, which is so great we cannot understand it, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Colossians 3:15  Let the peace that Christ gives control your thinking, because you all call together in one body to have peace.  Always be thankful. Isaiah 26:3  You Lord give true peace   ...

Waiting for the full bloom of spring which comes as a blessing of the Lord Watching for the perfect direction of God teaches the followers of Christ trust. Trust that opens the heart to the needs of others - the need for human touch the need for communication the need for assurance that "God is in Heaven and all is right in the World." the need for guidance from the Most High God the need for mercy, love, hope, peace, joy Trust in the promises of God which are still being fulfilled as God seeks His lost sheep. Trust that physical death leads to spiritual LIFE for the believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, the SAVIOR of the World. Trust that the relationship with God is unique and personal and made for each individual. Trust and obey For there is no other way To be happy in Jesus But to trust and obey (John Sammis and Daniel B Towner) Pray diligently with a trusting heart that God will rescue His children and that He will cause the leaders to turn to Him fo...

Lord Jesus, As I wait for your imminent return, I ask that you open the eyes of the world leaders and show them YOUR power.  Stop Corvid 19 before it spreads anymore.  Cause the people who claim you as their savior to turn to your Word and seek your face.  Make them remember the costly bloody sacrifice that YOU made on Golgotha in Jerusalem 2000 years ago.  Focus them on you and your merciful grace.  Lead your people into the courts of your temple where they can repent of their sins and humble their self righteous pride.  Please God pour your wonderful healing power on to the souls of the people of the world and open their eyes that they can see you.  Open their ears so that they will hear you call them by name.  Open their hands so that they can reach for your scarred hand and touch you. Thank you Lord for all of your wonderful blessings. Amen

Like a child holding her father's hand, clinging to the steadying fingers peering into his face smiling with joy, I come to you Most Gracious Father of the Universe, realizing that I cannot control the chaos of the world. I beg of you Lion of Judea fill me with your courage, pour into my soul your peace cover my heart with your hope.. May my trust in you grow and expand like a budding rose, bursting into full bloom. Thank you Lord Thank you for all of your wonderful blessings. Please fill the souls of your children with the desire to seek your face to do your will to pray for your leadership to share your WORD with others through actions and conversation. Thank you Most Holy Father for all that you pour into our lives. Amen 2 Chronicles 7:13-16

As a child of God, I have the right and privilege to come into the presence of the Holy Pure God because of the blood sacrifice of Jesus, 2000 years ago.  As His child, I can be assured that He will listen to me and answer my questions, statements, and pleas for help. Today, March 16, 2020 President Trump declared that the United States is in a war with a world wide enemy - Corvid 19 or the Corona Virus.  This fast moving killer of the elderly and weak invaded the world and has spread like a meteor strike.  Many people have felt the effects of this virus personally for them I raise my pleas that God will give them comfort, healing, and peace.  For those indirectly affected, I ask that God will pour His peace of spirit and knowledge into their hearts and minds.  I am asking all of my brothers and sisters in the LORD JESUS CHRIST to pray continually and diligently that God will move swiftly to eradicate this horrible threat to humanity.  I pray that God g...

Lord Jesus, most sovereign God, master of the Universe, who sacrificed everything to save the world from its sin and corruption, Thank you savior for everything that you have blessed us with.  May your choices become the choices that we want to make. May our behaviors reflect your Holy Pure being not only in the world but also in our souls. May your will be done always and through all people. Please Lord provide for our daily needs - food, water, shelter, love of one another. Please Lord forgive ME of my sins and remind me to forgive others just as I have been forgiven. Keep us safe from the temptation to sin and protect us from evil. BECAUSE You are the mighty King of the Universe who is all powerful and glorious. Thank you Lord Jesus for your blessings and merciful grace. amen, Amen, AMEN.

There are many ways to refresh prayer life.  1. Try the "Hand Prayer"      Thumb - pray for family - specifically      Pointing Finger - pray for friends - specifically      Middle Finger - pray for the Leaders of the USA that they return to the core values of God      Ring Finger - pray for the ill - in general and specifically as needs become known      Baby Finger - pray for personal needs. 2.  Try Praying through the NAMES of God 3.  Try Praying the "Lord's Prayer" or Model Prayer and put yourself into the prayer.  Make the prayer personal 4.  Pray Privately - in that hidden place where you can reach out to God. Pray remembering that God hears all prayers. God is concerned with all people. Pray with specific purpose. Matthew 7:7-12 ASK SEEK KNOCK Be bold when you talk to God - do not let fear govern your time with him or weaken your communication.

Pray that the Lord will guide the leaders of our country and make their hearts soft toward him.  Pray that the leaders will listen to the WORD of God and will trust in Him.  Pray that rather than causing fear in the hearts of the people, the leaders of our country will diligently follow in the strength of God and point to Him.  Pray the America will once again be the nation that points the way to Heaven and welcomes all who wish to follow in the path of God.  Pray that all Christians will humble themselves and pray with a broken heart for the perfect Will of God to be done in America so that God can once again bless this nation with His hope, peace, and joy.  Pray to the Almighty Triune God for His guidance, protection, and merciful grace.  Pray - Pray - Pray continually with all of your might and trust in the Lord always. PRAY!!!

One of the most difficult tasks is developing lasting relationships that reflect the image of God.  In Philippians 2:5-11, Paul explains what God wants to see in relationships with Him and with others.  Be HUMBLE before God - remember He is all powerful and all knowing.  I have no reason to be proud of anything I am or I accomplish because I can do nothing under my own power. CONSIDER others before yourself.  Seek to honor and help others always. Be a SERVANT.  Willingly give of your time and efforts to others working for their betterment.s Be OBEDIENT following the guidance of God to the point of total sacrifice of yourself - would you give your life for another person?  Jesus did - He gave His life so that we might gain a pure Holy relationship with the Mighty Triune God. SEEK to follow the Word - study the Word of God daily, asking for Him to reveal Himself to you through His Word.  Now apply what you have learned every opportunity you are giv...

God is all powerful creating something out of nothing. He spoke, and the universe became.  He spoke, and the Earth formed.  He spoke, and man listened.  Therefore what can I give God that he does not already have.  Since the beginning of human existence, people have sought to please God by offering all types of gifts - gold, jewels, human sacrifice, blood sacrifice,  - trying to appease Him; but he only wants the gift of my heart, freely given with nothing held back. To be a sweet smelling sacrifice to the Holy Trinity, I give everything I am - my body, my heart, my mind, my soul.  To show how much I love God, I must listen for the promptings from the Holy Spirit and act upon them.  When I goof up, I must ask for forgiveness for not applying His love to His creation.  Please Lord Jesus, forgive me for not doing what I know you wanted me to do today. Please give me another opportunity to share your love and grace with others.  I regret tha...

Pray daily. Open your heart to the Lord Jesus and talk to your best friend. Pray for specific requests from friends and family.  Pray immediately with a full trusting heart. Pray for Israel - protection from internal and external evil, a turning to Jesus, a gathering of God's                     children, a strengthening of knowledge of God, the Triune Creator of the Universe Pray for our nation - our leaders, the upcoming election, for a return to the basic tenets of the USA Pray for your local church body - specifically and corporately Pray for your pastor - protection and increasing of devotion to God Pray for your local school - that the teachers teach with integrity, that the students work to learn Pray for your community - that the people seek to help others and provide encouragement and               support Pray for the missionaries who seek to share the Gospel with the...

Slipping beneath the horizon coloring the evening sky with hues of reds, oranges, purples dusk darkens into infinity. In the darkness glimmers of distant starts begin to shimmer sparkling like crystals gleaming like warm tears. Reminding all creation that the Creator God of the Universe Father of humanity Master of the World Savior lives forever; and He prepares a place a home a sanctuary for those who believe that He is the one true Son of God. Sacrificed for all raised from the dead returned to the Father and waits to gather His family into His protection when God the Father says, "It is time.  Go gather my children." For now we wait in hope and faith in anticipation in love in mercy and grace. WE WAIT!

As we approach Easter, we need to think carefully and prayerfully about the horrible price paid for the Salvation of the World.  The crucifixion of Jesus starts at on point in time (33 ano domini) to extend through all time.  Hebrew is a present tense language so the crucifixion/death/burial/resurrection of Jesus are happening at this point in time.  Jesus continues to be crucified and will do so until the end of time.  Please God don't let me add to His already heavy overburden of sin. Please Lord God help me to truly know you! To walk with you daily! To focus on you and make you the center of my life. Thank you wonderful Most High You are the shed blood for my soul. You are the pure and holy sacrifice for my sins. Please Lord Jesus, Make me wholely thine. Place a hedge around me so that I do not stray. Amen

REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS AGAIN I SAY REJOICE.

Throughout the Scriptures, God promises to provide for His children and that He will be with them through everything.  No matter what happens God understands the confusion, fear, and anger; but He also expects His children to turn to him for His support and help.  Though people feel alone and abandoned, God is there with His compassion and love.  All the person has to do is remember that God Himself became human and walked in the problems, fears, hopes, and joys.  He wants to share each person's life and to build a living relationship that is eternal.  God understands the joy of a wedding and the anguish of the death of a child.  He loved His creation enough to become a Human - God in human flesh - and suffered what every human suffers and rejoiced in all of the beauty of His creation - from nano-particles to the largest galaxy.  God is still in control and will always be in control.  PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW.  Now and alway...
