Time To PRAY

 LORD God, here we are before You, before Your Eyes that see all things and Your Heart that knows all things, and we are laid low before You in need of the depths of cleansing for our souls, even the soul of our nation and the nations of this Earth. Here we are in the land that You have provided to us and we dare to consider that it is our possession, but it is not. It all belongs to You, for by You were all things created. There is nothing created that was not created by You and Your Christ. Yet we exalt ourselves to thinking in the vanity and conceit of our own minds that we own or possess or control anything on this Earth, on this land that You have given. Wash us yet again this day, O LORD God, for surely Your people and all the peoples of the Earth are in great and dire need of cleansing.  We have sinned before You and the land even this day today vomits up the sin that has saturated its soil, even to the depths of the planet. There is nothing hid before You, O LORD God a...

 Trumpets are sounding in these days, in this hour. Not limited by time or space, they are sounds in eternity, even eternity-present. What is the sound of the hour? Return to Me, says the LORD God of all the heavens and the Earth.  There's a remnant of souls on the Earth right now, today, that are calling out to GOD, that are seeking Him, that are praying, that are drawing near to Him, that are turning to Jesus, and that remnant is increasing. They are taking it to heart what is being trumpeted and released out in the spirit, what is being sounded into the souls of men, women and children, leaders, even heads of state. It's a sound to return to GOD, to get right with Him, to make room for Him in our hearts, in the core of our beings. It's a joyous sound but it is also the warning sound, a sound of warfare, and alarming sound. I believe, just as the Word of GOD states, that it is because TIME IS SHORT. It's time to seek Him and grasp a hold of the hem of His garment. Do ...

 The world and our lives, our minds, all around us, are so filled with words. Look at anything going on around us today and you see how the whole world is caught up in the War of the words. Everyone has something to say! Is it all profitable? Is it all edifying to our souls, to even our physical wellbeing or our mental wellbeing?  While in a discussion with a loved one this morning, one of my favorite passages was brought to mind and while recited it, I began to ponder, and it struck me in a whole new way. I considered it and that favorite verse became even more precious to my heart, because I felt the LORD showing me Himself in it, and it became even more simpler to understand.  [Psa 19:14 KJV] Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. Maybe you're familiar with this verse. Have you ever wondered why in the midst of that thought, the Psalmist prayed to the LORD as his "Strength" and "...

  In His Book   Just to think  that even before His mouth  spoke out the names of countless stars. Before His Word  empowered the explosion of existence,  and fashioned reality in her precious garb. He already had the chapters of my being planned. He already believed in who I would be. Had already exacted the date of my birth and  whispered my name in His eternal soliloquy. Just to consider  that even before the first rays of the sun  did touch the surface of the Earth; and the canyons of rock  were chiseled out as part of the Master’s handiwork... Before a blade of grass ever did spring up  from the soil of the land,  God decreed my life out of His Love for me. And then wrote my name down in His Book of Life, saying:  Daughter, Daughter  this is what My Heart desires for thee.   Just to ponder  that the God who kissed the skies  with a rainbow as a promise;  and stood in unity ...

The Fall Feasts of the LORD are upon us. Now approaching is the Memorial of Blowing of Trumpets. (Leviticus 23) - When the new Moon is sighted in Jerusalem, Israel, that marks the beginning of this very special Feast of the LORD.  God considers it as a memorial for His people; He proclaims it as a Holy Convocation, a Sabbath, and it also marks the time for Harvest. It is filled with very amazing and wondrous spiritual truths for those who choose to follow the LORD and His Christ. It is a time of preparation, and it connects to the next appointed times of the LORD: the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles. All extremely vital for understanding God's plan of Redemption through the Life of His Son, Yeshua.  If you're alive and aware in this hour on the Earth, in America, in Israel, in whatever nation you have been placed, then surely, surely you are seeing what is transpiring in the world. It is at once perplexing and troubling to mind, heart and spirit. Yet, for those w...

Hear the call! 2Ch 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Mat 4:16-17 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up. From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Act 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; Rev 3:14-22 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.  So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.  Because thou say...

 I was listening to a brief excerpt of Pres. Trump's speech over the weekend before the Religious Liberty Commission where many leaderships from different denominations of faith in the America were in attendance. I didn't listen to whole thing, but the President did speak about ensuring America's religious freedom was maintained and he spoke also about the need for America to have religion in its culture and society. I get that. However, I did not hear the Name of Jesus mentioned, and I did not hear a call to repentance, and that's the thing that strikes me most. I know there are many believers in America and around the world who are probably consistent in their prayers to the LORD for us to have governmental leadership that worships Him in Spirit and in Truth, and that would be bold to call America to repentance. I consider, what is the worth of our liberty or our freedom in the United States of America, if we are not free in Christ? Is America's freedom just about...

 Your People   O Your people, Lord  stand before You, believing in the Words  You have spoken. We cry in the day  and groan through the night, for sometimes the world  tries to darken Your Light. But Your Majesty rules,  and so do we stand: proclaiming Your Spirit,  that Your Day is at hand.   O Your people, Lord... We bow before You. It’s a comforting place to be. For in Your arms,  Truth upholds us. You confirm Your Word,  so we see. The signs and the wonders; t he miracles of today. The souls, they come in t hrough the door of Jesus:  The Way.   O Your people, Lord  rejoice before You. We can sing and dance  upon the enemy’s head. Trampled underfoot;  we demolish destroyer! For You, Jehovah  go before us  to the end. O Your people, Lord;  we praise and thank You  for the Victory in Jesus. Covered by His Blood and Glory. Like a flood,  rive...

 To Labour We just got through Labor Day here in the United States which celebrates the workforce. A federal holiday so, it's a day off from work, yay! Who doesn't like having a day off from work? We sure appreciate that. However, my concern is about laboring in prayer. What does it mean to "labor in prayer?" Or, to labor in anything for that matter? There are several different words in the Scriptures which tell us about what it is to labor: from bearing children, bringing forth, bearing, birthing, being born, to toiling at work, producing, acquiring property (through work), even in respect to riches and wealth. Yet, to labor also is related to grief, or being grieved. To labor or faint, to grow weary, to be exhausted, to tire, to have pain, to suffer. Another word used is "travail." That gives another perspective on it, doesn't it? Sounds like a harder, deeper thing, to travail over something.  The Apostle Paul said this to the Church at Galatia: Gal 4:...

 Our Intercessor What does it even mean to be an "intercessor?" All in the Body of Christ are called to pray and to intercede for souls, and many are particularly called to do it under the Spirit of the Lord's Anointing. It is a laboring thing to be always in prayer! Look at the life of Jesus in the Gospels. You can do a search with any Bible app today and find how many times Jesus would go by Himself to pray; always keeping His eternal connection with God the Father. Our daily walks with Christ should always reflect that we are living a life of prayer, always talking to the Lord about all things. Don't know what to pray? The Word of God is richly filled with the prayers of believers, the servants of God from Abraham and Moses to David and the prophets, and to Jesus, Who is called our High Priest. The Psalms are wonderful, deeply spiritual words of prayer, even prophetic prayer and can be awesome guidelines for how to pray, what to pray. One thing is for sure: Jesus I...

Loss.  I have a friend who very recently lost a loved one. That loved one was a pet, a longtime companion and friend that was like a family member to them, maybe even more than a family member. Pets can become so beloved to a person that they even as their child to them. So as in the loss of a human loved one, it can be just as difficult and sad when one's cherished pet passes. People suffer losses of all kinds in this life on Earth. Every day, every hour a life is lost somewhere whether from sickness and disease or tragic accidents or horrendous murders; and pretty much there's always someone left behind that's going to feel that loss in their hearts, minds and spirits. It may not even be a physical loss of a person, but can be the loss of a relationship, the loss of limb, the loss of a house or property... losses from separations, divorces, family division and strife... loss of a job or income. Wow, so many ways we can experience loss in our lives that can bear tremendous...

 For all have sinned.  It states in Romans 3:23, For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;  Like they say, Ain't that the truth! It sure is, and as such every soul should be going before God to ask forgiveness. We don't always do that, though. Some don't even find it to be a thing worth doing because they do not believe in God or the Lord, much less in His Son, called Jesus, the Christ, Redeemer of all Mankind. What a perplexing world this is that we can see the awesome majesty of Creation all around us across this planet Earth and yet have no sense of inclination to believe there is a Creator, the Source of Life.  Well, I believe in Him and so it's there, set in my heart....to pray to Him.  It is true, O LORD our God, what You have decreed in Your Word, that we have sinned, that ALL have sinned and fallen short of Your Glory. Forgive us, Father God for all that we do and say and think and feel that is not lined up with the wondrous and glorious, ...
