This is the prayer from 3/2/15

Every morning, I go out on the deck and ask the Lord what to pray about. The one word was "God." Where do you start with such a broad subject as God? He is everywhere, He is in everything. He is a part of us, and we offer Him our heart and soul. He fills us with a joy that unbelievers do not understand, but they have a sense of envy. 'What do they have that I don't have,' is their query. Some seek it when we explain, others choose to reject it - to their continued pain. Don't give up, keep trying, if you win - both of you gain.

Our Lord God, what else do we say about Him? He has a sense of humor, He is not all serious and judgmental. He joins us when we laugh, and often He laughs at those who try to put Him in a box and dictate - such as 'G****L W*****G'. The joke is on those using that device to rob Americans of what they have worked for, a device to try help bring us down. Where is it all going, we know the ending, we just wonder how far away it still is. How many more years do we have to save souls? How much time do we have left for our own soul searching?

Dear Father, we bend Your ear in prayer for loved ones who need healing, loved ones who need to believe. We believe the 'end times' are here, and we believe miracles will abound. We have to rise above reason, and open our minds to faith, trust, total belief. We have to do like Peter - keep our eyes on Jesus. When Peter looked at the waves, he sunk. We have to speak our gratitude, speak it into existence. God is Love, He is Life, He is Light, He Is the Great I AM. We pray in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Amen!

An Urgent Plea for Help in Trouble
To the Chief Musician. Set to “The Lilies.” A Psalm of David..
Save me, O God!
For the waters have come up to my neck.
I sink in deep mire,
Where there is no standing;
I have come into deep waters,
Where the floods overflow me.
I am weary with my crying;
My throat is dry;
My eyes fail while I wait for my God.
Those who h**e me without a cause
Are more than the hairs of my head;
They are mighty who would destroy me,
Being my enemies wrongfully;
Though I have stolen nothing,
I still must restore it.
O God, You know my foolishness;
And my sins are not hidden from You.
Let not those who wait for You, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed because of me;
Let not those who seek You be confounded because of me, O God of Israel.
Because for Your sake I have borne reproach;
Shame has covered my face.
I have become a stranger to my brothers,
And an alien to my mother’s children;
Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up,
And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
When I wept and chastened my soul with fasting,
That became my reproach.
I also made sackcloth my garment;
I became a byword to them.
Those who sit in the gate speak against me,
And I am the song of the drunkards.
But as for me, my prayer is to You,
O Lord, in the acceptable time;
O God, in the multitude of Your mercy,
Hear me in the t***h of Your salvation.
Deliver me out of the mire,
And let me not sink;
Let me be delivered from those who h**e me,
And out of the deep waters.
Let not the floodwater overflow me,
Nor let the deep swallow me up;
And let not the pit shut its mouth on me.
Hear me, O Lord, for Your lovingkindness is good;
Turn to me according to the multitude of Your tender mercies.
And do not hide Your face from Your servant,
For I am in trouble;
Hear me speedily.
Draw near to my soul, and redeem it;
Deliver me because of my enemies.
You know my reproach, my shame, and my dishonor;
My adversaries are all before You.
Reproach has broken my heart,
And I am full of heaviness;
I looked for someone to take pity, but there was none;
And for comforters, but I found none.
They also gave me gall for my food,
And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
Let their table become a snare before them,
And their well-being a trap.
Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see;
And make their loins shake continually.
Pour out Your indignation upon them,
And let Your wrathful anger take hold of them.
Let their dwelling place be desolate;
Let no one live in their tents.
For they persecute the ones You have struck,
And talk of the grief of those You have wounded.
Add iniquity to their iniquity,
And let them not come into Your righteousness.
Let them be blotted out of the book of the living,
And not be written with the righteous.
But I am poor and sorrowful;
Let Your salvation, O God, set me up on high.
I will praise the name of God with a song,
And will magnify Him with thanksgiving.
This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bull,
Which has horns and hooves.
The humble shall see this and be glad;
And you who seek God, your hearts shall live.
For the Lord hears the poor,
And does not despise His prisoners.
Let heaven and earth praise Him,
The seas and everything that moves in them.
For God will save Zion
And build the cities of Judah,
That they may dwell there and possess it.
Also, the descendants of His servants shall inherit it,
And those who love His name shall dwell in it.

Psalm 69:1-36
These are the words of David, King of Israel
It simply amazing me how, David rose to power and maintained his humbleness. Each time the king sinned against God, and was told of his sin, he repented humbly. King David was a just man, who was nothing but a shepherd boy turned king. He experienced all the riches of this life, but still knew his position in the presence of God. Saul and his sons were corrupt. God showered them with riches and power until the riches and power over took them. But David, did not allow these riches to destroy the himself. But as all people do, David sinned against God. This sin would cause a rift in the kingdom.

No man is without sin. It is not okay to sin. However, it is through faith and love of God, that we repent of our sins. Have you ever disobeyed your mother and father, and told them through countless promises, that you would not do it again? and then, when everything was good, you did it again, only this time in secret? Thus, you disobeyed your parents and then lied about it, and then broke your promise to them. This breaks three of the ten commandments. But at the time, filled with temptation, you did not care. You only cared because you were now in trouble. Sound familiar?

In this situation the difference between wisdom and foolishness is described here. A man with integrity will truly repent and seek forgiveness. But this does not stop the sin. Immaturity will not seek forgiveness nor obey, but continue to sin. A man with wisdom, will have the integrity to truly repent and seek penance, but he will also correct the behavior through temperance and try not to commit the sin again. This is how penance was given a time limit. If the penance is too long, the burden of the sin would be too much and we could never pay for our sins. If the penance was given a short time limit then the person would not find the error in their behavior and never change. But if the penance which should be granted swiftly is given, and the repentant man finds the error of his ways, the wise man will correct it and it will no longer hinder him. But the man of integrity must actively seek wisdom.

The prophet Isaiah writes, "In fire gold is tested.", King Solomon in Proverbs writes, "As a rock sharpens a knife, so does man to his fellow man." What will mom and dad do if you disobey them. How angry will they be with you. The worst punishment any parent can give to a child is exile. Exile is worse than death. But a man can return from exile. For the punishment of all mankind was death, death is exile from God. Parents do exile their children. However, if the parent is wise, then the parent would forgive their children and welcome them home after they have been exiled by the parents.

No matter what age we are, we will always be our Father's and Mother's children. When we find love, we have children of our own. Children are the fruit of the family. And just as God is our Parent, so are we His Children. Our Father exiled us from Himself and Paradise. We experience death. "Remember Man for you are dust, and dust you shall return." But Our Father is the wisest of all parents, and when we become dust, if we believe in His Son, Jesus, who taught forgiveness in a way unbeknown to us, we will rise from that dust, and our exile, death, will be over. This is how Christ conquered death. If we truly, believe in Jesus and Love Jesus, we believe in His Father and Love His Father and this Love and Trust shall not let us be drunk by the temptations of this live, but will lead us into Paradise. Love and Trust go hand-in-hand, and it is through this love, that the parent becomes as the rich man in the parable of the "Prodigal son"

O My God, how I long for my own family! But as my children will trust me, so shall I trust the Lord in finding me a woman to complete me. I believe in this union, between me and her, that we shall bear fruit, and have many children. And what we write here shall teach our children that life does not suck, life is not a destination. But life is a journey toward God. It is true, that through action we sin. And according to the Law of Moses, it is just that through action we should repent and do penance. But Christ gives us the gift of God's love. Through His life, death, and resurrection, we don't have to pay the fine of sin, if we just believe. But belief is not enough, for Satan believes. We must love Jesus, so that we can inherit the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is for all of us. Not just one man, or one type of man, but for all of us. The kingdom is all around us and flows through us. Through our actions of kindness and through our actions in the Love of God, the kingdom flourishes.

But if we sin against God, we shall surely die, and enter into the realm of Exile. But if we love God, death shall have no power over us. This is how simple it is. This concept escapes the mind of our fellow Americans as we journey as a nation through life. A man who knows God, is more dangerous to life, than a man who does not know God. Therefore the man who knows not God, lives in bliss. But the man who knows God, who willingly disobeys God, is a wicked evil man. The hope herein is that the man comes to his senses before it is too late. Jesus taught all of us this, but only few understand the concept. Even I have a hard time with this concept. It is the wisest of all concepts, and the simplest of all concepts because it is this concept that gives us wisdom.

If a person shelters themselves from the world, then the person learns not wisdom, but relies on the wisdom of others. This is experience. If a person is exactly the opposite and succumbs to the evils of this world, then the person learns not wisdom, but rather learns to destroy wisdom and become a fool. Foolishness is fed by experience. But wisdom is fed by the love of God.

As you start your day today, observe the fools and the wise ones among us. Observe their folly and their greatness. Then ask yourself, who loves God and who does not. Each of us contribute to society and it is high time that we take up our cross in Christ to teach our friends and family, that the situations that Jesus spoke about and the solutions Jesus gave, makes us righteous. Now one man's voice is ah, but a whisper. But a nation's voice is as loud as a trumpet played by the angels to move heaven and earth. Yet Christ gave us the power to move heaven and earth. Yet in the course of human history, we have always rejected in disbelief the movement of heaven and earth. Now as you observe the people around us today, do not prejudge them. But rather watch their folly and in Christ learn wisdom. The wisdom that is needed to save America from the doom and threat of civil war, because the children of God, lead by Jesus, are called r****t and bigots. We, believers have all been persecuted by our leaders.

But they seek, refuge in the riches of the Earth, ignorant to something more precious. They do not understand what we know. That God is life, and money and sin is death. Pray for each other this day, and Let's t***sform America, one soul at a time. Amen
"In the name of the Father,
And of the Son,
And of the Holy Spirit,"
Amen!

But as all people do, David sinned against God. This sin would cause a rift in the kingdom.

No man is without sin. It is not okay to sin. However, it is through faith and love of God, that we repent of our sins. Have you ever disobeyed your mother and father, and told them through countless promises, that you would not do it again? and then, when everything was good, you did it again, only this time in secret? Thus, you disobeyed your parents and then lied about it, and then broke your promise to them. This breaks three of the ten commandments. But at the time, filled with temptation, you did not care. You only cared because you were now in trouble. Sound familiar?

In this situation the difference between wisdom and foolishness is described here. A man with integrity will truly repent and seek forgiveness. But this does not stop the sin. Immaturity will not seek forgiveness nor obey, but continue to sin. A man with wisdom, will have the integrity to truly repent and seek penance, but he will also correct the behavior through temperance and try not to commit the sin again. This is how penance was given a time limit. If the penance is too long, the burden of the sin would be too much and we could never pay for our sins. If the penance was given a short time limit then the person would not find the error in their behavior and never change. But if the penance which should be granted swiftly is given, and the repentant man finds the error of his ways, the wise man will correct it and it will no longer hinder him. But the man of integrity must actively seek wisdom.

The prophet Isaiah writes, "In fire gold is tested.", King Solomon in Proverbs writes, "As a rock sharpens a knife, so does man to his fellow man." What will mom and dad do if you disobey them. How angry will they be with you. The worst punishment any parent can give to a child is exile. Exile is worse than death. But a man can return from exile. For the punishment of all mankind was death, death is exile from God. Parents do exile their children. However, if the parent is wise, then the parent would forgive their children and welcome them home after they have been exiled by the parents.

No matter what age we are, we will always be our Father's and Mother's children. When we find love, we have children of our own. Children are the fruit of the family. And just as God is our Parent, so are we His Children. Our Father exiled us from Himself and Paradise. We experience death. "Remember Man for you are dust, and dust you shall return." But Our Father is the wisest of all parents, and when we become dust, if we believe in His Son, Jesus, who taught forgiveness in a way unbeknown to us, we will rise from that dust, and our exile, death, will be over. This is how Christ conquered death. If we truly, believe in Jesus and Love Jesus, we believe in His Father and Love His Father and this Love and Trust shall not let us be drunk by the temptations of this live, but will lead us into Paradise. Love and Trust go hand-in-hand, and it is through this love, that the parent becomes as the rich man in the parable of the "Prodigal son"

O My God, how I long for my own family! But as my children will trust me, so shall I trust the Lord in finding me a woman to complete me. I believe in this union, between me and her, that we shall bear fruit, and have many children. And what we write here shall teach our children that life does not suck, life is not a destination. But life is a journey toward God. It is true, that through action we sin. And according to the Law of Moses, it is just that through action we should repent and do penance. But Christ gives us the gift of God's love. Through His life, death, and resurrection, we don't have to pay the fine of sin, if we just believe. But belief is not enough, for Satan believes. We must love Jesus, so that we can inherit the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is for all of us. Not just one man, or one type of man, but for all of us. The kingdom is all around us and flows through us. Through our actions of kindness and through our actions in the Love of God, the kingdom flourishes.

But if we sin against God, we shall surely die, and enter into the realm of Exile. But if we love God, death shall have no power over us. This is how simple it is. This concept escapes the mind of our fellow Americans as we journey as a nation through life. A man who knows God, is more dangerous to life, than a man who does not know God. Therefore the man who knows not God, lives in bliss. But the man who knows God, who willingly disobeys God, is a wicked evil man. The hope herein is that the man comes to his senses before it is too late. Jesus taught all of us this, but only few understand the concept. Even I have a hard time with this concept. It is the wisest of all concepts, and the simplest of all concepts because it is this concept that gives us wisdom.

If a person shelters themselves from the world, then the person learns not wisdom, but relies on the wisdom of others. This is experience. If a person is exactly the opposite and succumbs to the evils of this world, then the person learns not wisdom, but rather learns to destroy wisdom and become a fool. Foolishness is fed by experience. But wisdom is fed by the love of God.

As you start your day today, observe the fools and the wise ones among us. Observe their folly and their greatness. Then ask yourself, who loves God and who does not. Each of us contribute to society and it is high time that we take up our cross in Christ to teach our friends and family, that the situations that Jesus spoke about and the solutions Jesus gave, makes us righteous. Now one man's voice is ah, but a whisper. But a nation's voice is as loud as a trumpet played by the angels to move heaven and earth. Yet Christ gave us the power to move heaven and earth. Yet in the course of human history, we have always rejected in disbelief the movement of heaven and earth. Now as you observe the people around us today, do not prejudge them. But rather watch their folly and in Christ learn wisdom. The wisdom that is needed to save America from the doom and threat of civil war, because the children of God, lead by Jesus, are called r****t and bigots. We, believers have all been persecuted by our leaders.

But they seek, refuge in the riches of the Earth, ignorant to something more precious. They do not understand what we know. That God is life, and money and sin is death. Pray for each other this day, and Let's t***sform America, one soul at a time. Amen
"In the name of the Father,
And of the Son,
And of the Holy Spirit,"
Amen!

Experience can be a tough teacher, but if you are wise you will learn lessons that will be with you and guide you through life.

This is a dark Psalm, by David. Most people will have some of those feelings during a life time, but with faith, the love and forgiveness from God - we survive. AMEN

This is the prayer from 3/3/15

Tell them the story, the story of His glory. Lord, we know the humiliation, and the pain, You went through to save us. You look down on us, with love written across Your face. Because of that love, You send emissaries to warn us, to point the way. Lord, today, Netanyahu speaks to Congress, he will bring a serious message, a message they cannot afford to ignore. We pray You will touch the hearts, and open the ears and the minds of each person listening to him speak. Obama, like Pharaoh, will harden his heart, but have the majority stand with their heart against Obama, and for Israel, and for our survival.

When the people, of Israel, were ens***ed under a cruel leader, they prayed to You for relief. You sent Moses to lead them to freedom. In that mighty hall, touch the heart of at least one who will stand against the opposition, who will speak and win the hearts of the majority to stand with him against Obama. We want to be free, we want our country to be a Christian Nation, dedicated to You. Help the people, Lord, help us! Be in that hall today, touch the hearts of the majority, have it be a winning day for Christians. Touch the hearts of our military leaders, have them quake in fear, knowing Your power to overcome their strength.

This is a pivotal day for the future of America. Have it be the day Americans will celebrate as our day of freedom, freedom from a self-appointed, cruel leader who sees himself as a god. Free us, Lord, and bring him down to size. He has said, in essence, we need to be managed, that we don't know how to do that. We pray, that You will manage him, and show him who knows what. We know You, Lord. We give You our hearts, our trust and faith. We look to You to restore our freedom from one who wishes to dominate. We come to You with sincere prayer in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.

This is the prayer from 3/4/15

A new day. A warm March breeze gently moves over the landscape, what does it carry for America? We wait, we anticipate a spinning perspective regarding our support for Israel. Wh**ever is said, we read between the lines. Our hearts and our prayers are with Israel and with America. We pray our Lord God will bless our feeble efforts. Who are we? What power do we possess? Prayer! Prayer is the most powerful force on earth. Believe it! Speak it into existence! Rise above reason, and know that our God hears us, and will answer us when the time is right.

Who are we? We are a small army of believers, holding to collective prayer, holding to our faith. We know the Word, we know our Lord. We believe the Word, we trust our Lord. Let us stand resolute in our faith that at the right time He will prevail. He will return to reclaim all that are His. Satan will be defeated. He and his minions will be sent to a fiery grave, an everlasting inferno. His followers will be in this burning darkness. Oh, let us be busy, let us try to save these poor souls. For every soul won for Jesus, there will be singing in Heaven. Praise the Lord!

In that day, He tells us, there will be a new heaven and a new earth. The earth will be renewed, and refreshed, and we will have new bodies. Bodies fit to inhabit these new surroundings. We will see loved ones who had passed on. A glorious reunion will be held, joy will fill all hearts as we gather to praise our Lord. The past will be washed away, washed away with the waves that wash the shore. It will be no more to be remembered. We will live only for the present. It is in the present that we have life, and in it we bring our prayer to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.

This is the prayer from 3/6/15

At last, the moon was shinning so brightly over the gleaming white snow, it lit up the world all around its glow. Such quite beauty, serene and peaceful. Does it belie the rage burning around the world, the wars, the gore, the greed that feeds men's souls? Why, we ask, why can't some accept the concept of live and let live? They want to lord it over those they feel are inferior, not as 'gifted' as they are. Gifted with what? Gifted with an evil hunger for power, gifted from Satan. We may suffer from their dirty work, but we will one day reign with our Savior, in heaven.

Around the world, every day a Christian is born, born to know You and love You, Lord. Around the world every day a Christian dies rather than deny You. They will be the 'white robed martyrs.' Come Judgment Day each will point an accusing finger at their murders. The 'rulers' will deny any involvement, but then You will produce the evidence against them. In Your presence, will they cringe in fear, or will they continue to have their arrogant, superior attitude? We wonder, but we give heed to those who suffered, those who paid the price.

What have we done to earn any reward? When did we stand up for You? Where were we? Where were our voices when they were replacing You in the school room? Has anyone heard us? Have we made a difference? We hang our head and cry, but it's not over yet. There's more to come. Yes, we may cry, we may be faced with the choice of stand for Christ or die. Then! then we will show our mettle. Then You will nod Your head accordingly. We look to You, Lord. We come to You with our prayer in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amen.
