Vignette on prayer - change your world.

 

Today I was looking at Matt 8:35, which states that if we try to save our lives we will lose it.  The way to keep our live is to serve God and bring the good news to others.  Did you know it is the mandate of the church to pray for others in our world that do not know Christ?  There is a lost world out there that will never hear the gospel unless we bring them before the throne of grace.  We have a promise in Acts 16:31, that states that not only shall be saved but our household as well.  The best way to make this happen is to daily pray for divine intervention in the lives of those we love and care for.  Notice I said a daily responsibility.  Halfhearted or hap hazard prayer will not make this happen.  Wishing and hoping does not change the spiritual atmosphere in a family, church or community.  It is strong dedicated and directed prayer.  So today choose to be precise, concise and pointed in your prayers.  Tell God exacted what you want and how you want it to happen.  We have power in prayer.  Remember what we pray for in the name of Jesus will be done.  James 4:2 says we have not because we ask not.  We need to seek, ask and receive.  It is our duty, obligation and privilege.  The world needs to be saved and our prayers are part of the process.

     You have been both prosperous and in poverty.  You have had darkness and light.  You started off in darkness with demon deities, fear, intimidation, witchcraft, idols, and shamanism.  You fought among yourselves and powers from other lands who tried to dominate and control you.  You enslaved others and were enslaved yourself.  You have been plagued with natural and unnatural disasters all the consequences of your heart and actions.  Remember you reap what you sow.  I counsel you now as you are just starting to recover to sow righteousness, truth, and freedom.  I commend you on your stand against perversion, cultural and political correctness.  I also commend you are your reception of my Spirit and the coming revival.  That will be your salvation and recovery if you choose to fully embrace it.

     To my church.  I am going to increase the intensity of my Spirit in your midst.  I am going to send you missionaries and helpers from other islands to help disciple and train the new converts I am bringing your way.  The entire island area in which you inhabit is going to see a spiritual transformation.  There will be signs, wonders, and miracles among you.  You will see the rise of the spiritual gifts and last days miracles.  You will see fervency, love, unity, and healing among you.  Be wise though because there will those who will come in and try to exploit what is happening.  They are wolves in sheep's clothing.  They are like foam on the ocean and clouds without rain.  They exploit, divide and lie.  They have a Jezebel spirit so be wise and expose them for who they are.  I love sound teaching and stay in my word.  Great days, especially among the young, are going to happen so rejoice, be wise and walk in truth.

It id done

 

October 22 – It is done – Rev 21:6

 

Vs 6 -  The Lord then begins a series of wonderful promises.  The definition of a promise is as follows.  “a declaration or assurance that one will do a particular thing or that a particular thing will happen.”  So what  is said is going to happen.  First, the Lord declares it is done.  Everything He wants to do and

Accomplish has been done.  Like Jesus stated on the cross, “It is finished.”   Nothing has to be added to it.   The Lord then says He is the Alpha and Omega, which are the first and last letters in the Greek alphabet.  All things start and end with Him.  The first promise is that to all who are thirsty he will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life.  This is one reason for no need for seas and oceans.  This water is eternal life.  It is ever flowing and brings life.  This life will be for eternity.  This comes without cost because Jesus paid the price many eons before.

Vignette on Prayer

 

Today my daily scripture was 1 John 2:16, which tells us that God is love.  God’s love is amazing.  What I find so amazing is that the God of the universe loves me.  In fact he loves all his creation.  What is also fantastic is that God wants to communicate with his creation.  We call this communication prayer.  Jesus when He was talking to the woman at the well told her and us that God is Spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth.  Prayer is Spirit to spirit communication.  When we pray in a manner we are in the Spirit.  Paul tells us Romans that the Holy Spirit helps us when we pray and sometimes will pray through us with groans and prayers that cannot be expressed except through deep groaning and deep intercession.  There have been times where I have been praying and I have not known what to say except through deep personal groaning and tears.  All this comes through the love of God.  What I find fascinating is the God of the universe would want to spend time with me.  So today let us let the love of God flow through us as we pray.  Let his love be the foundation of our prayers today.  As we pray for others allow that wonderful love of God, be your view.  When we love we cannot hate.  When we pray in love the bias of man flee away and we pray clear precise love.  His love must be the basis of all we pray and do.

Made News

 

October 21 – Made new – Rev 21:5

 

Vs 5 – So John is standing there and observing all these things.  The one who is sitting on the throne

makes a powerful statement.  “I am making all things new.”  That means the old has passed away and

what was will never be again.  Paul alludes to this in 2 Cor 5:17.  The Lord is making all things new. 

Things will never be the same again.  In this case that is wonderful.  Then He tells John to write these

things down.  John is a witness but also a herald.  He is the writer whose pen will change the course of

the future.  God is the author but John is the scribe in this case.

     The Lord then tells that the words John will be recoding are faithful and true and they are direct from

The mouth of God.  God cannot lie for it would go against His very nature.  What has been seen and

done will come to pass.  What a wonderful promise and future to look forward too.
