Time to Pray
Thank you all for being here today. Today I would like to ask each of you to pray for our Country; the very fabric of it is unraveling. I know that it is going to do so, leading into the end times, but that doesn't mean we should sit on our hands and watch it go by.
Another thing I would like you all to pray about is the Peace of Jerusalem. Tensions are mounting again and with the Iranian threat, this could turn into a mess in a hurry. While I am on this subject, how many of you would like for the U.S. and Israel to take out the Nuclear Facilities in Iran? Just a question.
In Daniel's time the Prince of Persia withstood the Angel of the Lord 21 days before Daniel could receive an answer to his prayer. It seems that very same spirit is back in full force again. As members of The Body of Christ, I know that prayer, especially all of us in one accord, can be a powerful influence in Government, preventing wars, promoting healings, leading souls to Christ. The only problem is we are going to have to unify and become a force of one with the Leadership of The Holy Spirit Guiding us.
The power of the Cross made us all the same in Christ. The Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 1:10 Now I beseech you brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
The hard thing is for all of us to do this and be in unity with each other. I pray we can all put our differences aside on issues that don't matter. I pray that all of you are saved and are teaching the same thing. 1 Corinthians 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.
Folks, that's the Gospel. Teach it, preach it, tell others about it, bind these words upon your heart and Trust that when Jesus Died, He paid for all your sins. It is Faith that will save you through Christ shed blood. Remember this, we WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT. Make them to be more than just words, look into the past and see the historical account of this event, know that it did really happen as the Bible clearly tells us. Know that Christ rose from the dead and revealed this message to the Apostle Paul from Glory. Know that no one else had ever known this truth until then. Know that the Lord is seated at the right hand of the Father until God makes the Lord's enemies his footstool. Know that if you are saved that you are sealed by The Holy Spirit until our day of redemption, that surely must be upon us.
When our vile bodies will be changed and made like unto His Glorious body and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Know that if you have served the Lord you are going to be rewarded for it, I mean I believe it's the real deal, I think it is jewels, gold, silver, precious stones, crowns. That will determine your realm of Glory forever and ever. Crowns, that you can lay at the Lord's feet and worship Him to show you cared enough that you won souls for Christ. That you helped people in need, prayed for the sick, helped people that were down, led them to Christ, studied your Bible so that you would know the Lord better and get wisdom on how to live this life the best you can for the Lord while you are hear.
Folks, there has to be a way for all of us to unite and speak the same thing, but religion has drawn some very severe lines in the Church. Week after week I try to show you the truth as best I can and I hope that somehow more and more people will come to see it. I hope that one day while we are still on this earth we can become an overwhelming force against evil with the leadership of the Holy Spirit, giving us wisdom on how to pray and what to pray for. Imagine a million Christians all praying for the same thing. Imagine!
Tonight also, I would like to pray for the Peace of the United States, the evil that this world is throwing at us is bound to catch up sooner or later. There seems to be evidence in the Intelligence Agencie that suggests anything could happen here at any moment. I would like to think the rapture would take us all away before those days come but calamity could break us apart and we would certainly be like scattered sheep. If that should happen, then it is all the more important we put our differences aside and stand together and pray for the Lord to keep us safe until He takes us home.
I have one selfish prayer request tonight. Please pray for a young lady named Moriah, she is in a coma from a car accident and is not responding to any treatment. She is a daughter of a friend of mine. Thank you.
Let everything that has breath, Praise the name of the Lord!
