LET THEM GO HOME?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY

"But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body."   Philippians 3:20-21  (N.I.V.)

I hear about a pregnant woman being kept alive on artificial life support for an extended period of time in hope that a recovery may take place. I can only imagine the heart ache her husband and family must be going through watching and hoping for her to open her eyes and come to life again. She has been declared "brain dead" and her chances of ever recovering are near 0. Where is she and where is her baby? Are they laying there in that hospital bed bound to a non-functioning body of flesh? Are their "spirits" in limbo, stuck where they are  desperately wanting released to be welcomed into their heavenly home. When there is no hope of recovery, it seems to me to be the most humane and compassionate thing to do would be to let them "go home," return the God who created them and take their places in heaven where there is no pain or suffering, fear and anguish, only the unspeakable joy, beauty, freedom, and love like we here on earth will never know until we take our places there in the presence of our loving heavenly Father.
 If it was me confined to a body that doesn't work, a mind that can't think, and a heart that only beats with the help of a machine I would want to go home and be with my Creator and all my relatives who have lived and died before me and wait for those who were part of my life before I got hurt or sick or what ever caused my death. Death is only a gateway to a better more meaningful existence. It's only scary to us for time until we actually go. Then it's a glorious existence in the presence of our Father God, Jesus, the Angels, and all our friends and relatives with whom will be reunited with when that time comes. When it's time it's time and we must let them go home.

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, I thank You for my health and the health and well-being of all my family and friends. Protect us Lord, from all the attacks by the enemy, sickness, disease, accidents and every sort of malady that comes upon us. Comfort those who are bed-ridden and in pain and those who are experiencing the loss of loved ones and touch them with the power of Your Holy Spirit, heal them and help them to understand Your will and purpose for their lives now, and the lives we will have with You in heaven when You call us home. Help us to know love and compassion and to hear Your voice. In the name of Jesus, Yeshua, our Lord and Savior.. Make it so..

PEACE? WHEN?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY

"Many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths." The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. He will judge between the nations and settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore." 
Isaiah 2:3-4  (N.I.V.)

Sadly, this is what it will take for the world to be in peace. Until then, we will hear about wars and rumors of wars, in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Israel, Africa and around the world. But look, most of the wars and violence are happening in the middle eastern countries all around God's chosen people and the land of Israel where the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob built His house, His holy temple where there now sits an Islamic mosque. Islam is the chief enemy of the Jewish people, vowing to wipe Israel of the face of the earth. According to the Word of God, this will never happen because the God who is the defender of Israel never slumbers or sleeps and He will not allow the total destruction of His chosen ones, the Jews.
His Word clearly says, "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you," Gen. 12:3. There is nothing any Government, including the United States, or the United Nations can do to foster 'world peace.' It will come only by the hand of the Almighty God, the Creator of heaven and earth.
Our nation was blessed when we supported Israel in 1948 and beyond. Until recently, our government was the best friend of the Jewish nation, we were like Israel's big brother who came to defend her from Islamic bullies like Iran, Egypt, and Syria. Now, our Government is becoming increasingly anti-Israel and our nation is weakening under our current "Obama" administration. Even though God will not allow His people to be "wiped out," it seems to me that we need to go back to our old policies that support Israel and defend her people from Islamic terrorists and the threats of nuclear annihilation leveled against her by Iran. We, as a nation, we to stand firm with Israel and be a blessing to her if we want God's blessing on us to continue. Our current leaders are not really on her side. We can tell by our foreign policies and our pressure on the Israeli government to divide Jerusalem and give half of it to the Palestinians. That can never happen because Jerusalem is Israel's capitol given them by God 3000 years ago. Every Christian individual who loves Jesus should also love the nation and people of Israel and bless them with prayer and treasure and in turn, God will bless us according to His glorious riches. God's Word says, "He will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you."  So, it's a no-brainer, bless Israel, show her your love and support and "pray for the peace of Jerusalem, may they prosper who love you."  Psalm 122:6  (N.K.J.V.)


PRAYER FOR TODAY

Thank You Father God, Yahweh, for the wisdom we find in Your Word. Thank You sending Your Son to save us from our sin. I ask that You touch our government officials with the power of the Holy Spirit and show them the error of their ways and the policies that might hurt Your chosen ones. Let them be a blessing to Your people and protect them from the Islamic threat. Use us Lord, as an instrument of peace and let Your kingdom come and Your will be done on this earth as it is in heaven. I pray for the peace of Jerusalem now and all ways. Help me to be obedient to this Word. I thank You for being my Protector, Provider, Healer, Comforter, Counselor and all that I need. The great, "I Am That, I Am." In the name of Jesus, Yeshua, make it so...

TO HONOR GOD, THANK HIM?

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."   1 Thessalonians 5:16-18  N.I.V.


We need to thank Him for the things He has already done for us even though we haven't seen the things we ask for yet and call the things that are not as though they are. I know this may not make sense to us in our natural minds but we need to meditate on the things we want and make sure we show Him gratitude and honor Him who is our source of all good things. Joy, peace, love, freedom, abundance and so on.... God wants us to have all these things. Believe and receive! Amen!

Thank You for being my Provider, my Healer, Protector, Counselor and Comforter. In the name of Jesus, Yeshua, make it so...

Father God, thank You for Your Word and all the blessings that come from it, peace, and joy, wisdom and knowledge. Thank You that I can share this and be a blessing to others. Help me to meditate on Your Word and have what it says I can have and be an example to others who are frustrated and discouraged. Thank You for divine creativity, prosperity and success. I love You Lord and I love Your Word. Thank You Father God Yahweh for Your mercy and Grace and all my blessings. Thank You for being my Protector, Provider, Healer, Comforter and Councilor.

ANOTHER SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY

"No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they all shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."  Jeremiah 31:34  (N.K.J.V.)  

JUST PRAY?

If we only knew how much power we have available to us by prayer we'd probably hurt ourselves with it. Maybe that's why very few of us ever learn how to use it. The bible says, "In faith believing...." that means when we pray we must believe that we receive even though what we want God to do for us has not yet manifested its self. This is not that easy. I believe it takes practice and you can't do it all by yourself. When two or more come into agreement on anything they ask for Jesus said God will do it...Matthew 18:19-20  Now the question is, do you really believe that? Again this is a problem with most of us for obvious reasons, the biggest reason is our personal beliefs. If we are believing wrong our faith will be weak or even non-existent. So, what we need to do is adjust how and what we choose to believe. It takes practice and it's not that easy but with the favor of God on our side and accurate information we can change our way of thinking and believing to the point that one day we will wake up in the morning to a whole new life and God will have answered our prayers in every way. We just need to follow His instruction manual, not question it, and watch it work in amazing ways. Expectation, expectation, expectation that cannot be stressed enough. Keen expectation, that takes practice too.
If what we ask God for lines up with the things He promises then we will have it, He will see to it. So, when we pray let's pray for love, joy, peace, freedom, wholeness, abundance, all the blessings of Abraham in the Old Testament. God knows exactly what it will take for us to have these things and He will see that we have it. If we believe these things with our hearts and minds and meditate, concentrate and contemplate, with faith believing then then just be still and know that He is God and He is the rewarder of those who diligently seek Him then we will see things happen.
 I am living proof of this power because God has blessed me with many answered prayers although I am still a work in progress and I have my own giants yet to slay let me encourage you to learn about this great Creator God and experience the power that can only come from Him and His amazing grace for us. Read the Word of God every day, listen to the Word, watch teachers and preachers who teach the Word, say the Word out loud, think about the Word, in this way we honor God. When we honor Him He will honor and favor us over those who don't and will make good things happen for us with the power of His Holy Spirit, who is awesome by the way..........I'm rambling again.

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY

"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For when two or three come together in my name, there am I with them."
