Do Not Grow Weary

Friends, this nation has become an asylum and the inmates are in charge. People are thinking only of themselves. This is evident in the hate-filled social media posts with people celebrating the tragic loss of lives in Las Vegas. Now the liberal Hollywood elites and the demonrats are calling for gun control. They want to take guns from the American citizens so this killing will stop. Well, that will only leave the average American defenseless for the evil-doers. People's hearts are hardened and they refuse to acknowledge the truth. People have even said, “Prayer does not help because there is no God. If He is real why did He let this evil happen?” God did not cause this evil. Man caused this evil. God gave us all free will when we were created. This means we make decisions on whether we want to do the right thing or turn to evil. We all have that choice and some people have listened to the enemy's lies and chosen to follow him instead of having a relationship with God. No, friends, God did not cause this evil that is in our land but He is in control and when the final battle is fought, if we continue to stand with Him we will be the victors.

Today, this world is turned upside down. What God has ordained as pure and good, the world calls evil and politically incorrect. What God has called sin, the world today applauds and embraces. God foresaw this and warns us in His word, the Bible. In Isaiah 5:20 we read “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who puts bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.”

Global terrorism and illegal immigration runs rampant in this country and the world. Radical Muslims are threatening to overtake the world for Allah. If you can find a reliable news source, you can see the acts of barbarism and violence that are committed in the name of Allah. Christians are beheaded, women and children are raped and sold into slavery by this “peaceful religion”.

We are not only fighting these radical jihadists, we are fighting to keep our basic rights guaranteed by our Constitution. The Second Amendment which allows citizens to bear and keep arms is being attacked on all sides. Our First Amendment right—our right to free speech is being assaulted on a daily basis. The new rule of the land is Political Correctness. We are told we must not say anything to offend blacks, Muslims, or the LGBT population. Yet it is considered admirable to attack Christians and call them a radical hate group because we believe in the Bible and Constitution. We are willing to stand for what is right and speak against what is wrong. Christian businesses are forced to close and the owners sued and fined because they will not compromise their beliefs to those groups that are intent on destruction of Christians and American values. Yet, businesses like Starbucks can tell people that believe in the traditional marriage to shop elsewhere.

God has been taken from our public schools and, in many cases, replaced by Allah. Our children are ridiculed and harassed if they mention Jesus in school. He has been taken from many of our churches because the world teaches tolerance and any mention of sin is hate speech. Our churches need to preach the truth that Heaven and Hell is real and lead people down the right path instead of guiding them down the wrong road.

More babies are being killed by abortion because society does not respect the sanctity of life. According to society, a woman's body is her own and it is her right to kill the “inconvenience” of a new life. The boundaries have been expanded for abortion until the ninth month. I have conducted a very thorough and extensive research on the abortion issue and have found that “100% of those in favor of abortion have already been born.” Not only is abortion on the increase but child abuse and neglect are on the rise. Parents are torturing and killing their own children. Child predators and pedophiles are kidnapping, raping, and murdering our children. Many of these pedophiles and in this country illegally. But they are not the only predators, many high ranking officials and celebrities are also committing pedophilia on our children. Again Jesus has spoken to these evil-doers when he tells us in Matthew 19:14 “Let the little children come to me for the kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these.

The day is coming when this world will stand in judgment. The wheat will be separated from the chaff and all who not accept God's free gift of salvation will be permanently removed and separated the God. Satan loves silence and we Christians must be silent no more. We are commanded to spread the gospel and tell others about His great love. We must let the world that He is coming and every knee will bow and every voice profess Him Lord.

Jesus said in Matthew 10:32-33, “Whosoever acknowledges me before others, I will acknowledge before my Father in Heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in Heaven.

My fellow Christians, we must persevere and keep on fighting the good fight. God is on the throne and will send His Son for His children soon. We must not grow weary in fighting the good fight or as Paul said, “run the race that is before us.” We must pray daily for our country and its leaders. We must also pray for each other.

Keep Your Eyes On Jesus

In all your ways submit to Him and He will make your paths straight.  Proverbs 3:6

 

I have recently been through a very trying time in my life.  I was taken to court for custody of three grandkids I have raised all their lives.  I kept the faith prayed daily that I would prevail.  God worked it out in His own way and time.  I retained 50% of the custody which still keeps me in their lives but I now have time to pursue my writing.  I have felt God’s calling to write but had not been able to devote much time to that pursuit.  Friends, I want to tell you to keep your eyes on Jesus and trust in His promises.  He does keep His promises to sustain us in all circumstances.  This past week I have spent more time writing and will eventually post them but this poem came to my mind and I felt the need to post it first.

 

Keep Your Eyes On Jesus

When the road of life seems all uphill,

And troubles come as they most certainly will.

Don’t give up—just keep plugging along.

Keep your eyes on Jesus and you can’t go wrong.

Kids Today

Our children today can read of evolution

And are taught we come from apes.

They can learn of hate and prejudice

And are encouraged to murder and rape.

Family life is becoming obsolete

In this great country today.

Why it’s just ‘not cool’

To kneel with your family and pray.

Alcohol, drugs, and sex

Are the ‘in things’ to do.

The only thing that really matters

Is what feels good to you.

Our children today are taught that sexual perversion

Is nothing but an alternate lifestyle,

Homosexuality is not a sin--

Why I can almost see Satan smile.

Our children are exposed

To so many of Satan’s snares.

Yet in school they are not allowed to

Bow their heads in prayer.

The Ten Commandments have been taken

Out of our schools by law,

Because the government tries to tell us

They are not meant for all.

The results of this perversion is

Becoming clearer each day--

Kids can kill each other

But it’s wrong for them to pray.

 

I wrote this years ago, but it is becoming more true today.  We all need to turn to God and let Him take His rightful place in our hearts, our homes and our country.

It Will Not Be Long

From Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" It Will Not Be Long June 26 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. (James 5:8) The last word in the Canticle of love is, "Make haste, my beloved," and among the last words of the Apocalypse we read, "The Spirit and the Bride say, Come"; to which the heavenly Bridegroom answers, "Surely I come quickly." Love longs for the glorious appearing of the Lord and enjoys this sweet promise - "The coming of the Lord draweth nigh." This stays our minds as to the future. We look out with hope through this window. This sacred "window of agate" lets in a flood of light upon the present and puts us into fine condition for immediate work or suffering. Are we tired? Then the nearness of our joy whispers patience. Are we growing weary because we do not see the harvest of our seed-sowing? Again this glorious truth cries to us, "Be patient." Do our multiplied temptations cause us in the least to waver? Then the assurance that before long the Lord will be here preaches to us from this text, "Stablish your hearts." Be firm, be stable, be constant, "stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord." Soon will you hear the silver trumpet which announces the coming of your King. Be not in the least afraid. Hold the fort, for He is coming; yea, He may appear this very day. From the Faith's Checkbook Mobile Devotional Android app - http://www.LookingUpwardApps.com/fcb

My Prayer For Today

If my words today can help just one person I will consider my day a success.  I pray this prayer today for all of you.  Take what you need from these words.

Dear Father,

I come to you today to ask blessings on my friends and family.  May their eyes be opened to the beauty you have given us.  May their ears be opened to hear you in the wind that rushes by, in the birds singing in the trees, and in the sun that shines upon them as they go about their day.  As I sit here, I hear raindrops falling outside and know that the rain is sent by you to nourish and refresh us. 

I ask that if anyone reading this has a need, they will come to the throne and let their needs be known to you.  I ask that what I write touch someone today.  If my words can encourage and help just one person, I will know that the words are not in vain.

Father, I ask that if someone is hurting for whatever reason, I will have open eyes to see their need, open heart to offer a word of help, and open hands to give them a lift up from their discouragement and hurt.  I don’t know what is on their hearts but you do.  I thank you Lord and will ever praise your name.

I pray this is Jesus’ name.

Amen

God Will Answer

From Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" God Will Answer February 18 He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. (Psalm 145:19) His own Spirit has wrought this desire in us, and therefore He will answer it. It is His own life within which prompts the cry, and therefore He will hear it. Those who fear Him are men under the holiest influence, and, therefore, their desire is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. Like Daniel, they are men of desires, and the Lord will cause them to realize their aspirations. Holy desires are grace in the blade, and the heavenly Husbandman will cultivate them till they come to the full corn in the ear. God-fearing men desire to be holy, to be useful, to be a blessing to others, and so to honor their Lord. They desire supplies for their need, help under burdens, guidance in perplexity, deliverance in distress; and sometimes this desire is so strong and their case so pressing that they cry out in agony like little children in pain, and then the Lord works most comprehensively and does all that is needful according to this Word -- "and will save them." Yes, if we fear God, we have nothing else to fear; if we cry to the Lord, our salvation is certain. Let the reader lay this text on his tongue and keep it in his mouth all the day, and it will be to him as "a wafer made with honey."
