Voting...

I would like to encourage and bless all those who step out to help govern our great nation from the candidates to each and every person that votes their conscience in the upcoming elections.

I do believe that every decision we make and every prayer we pray can make a difference. Please, pray for God's guidance and then vote your conscience. Perilous times are upon us today, but there have been perilous times in the past. Prayer and God's guidance preserves His people. Voting isn't just our civic duty and a privelege. It is a spiritual opportunity to stand for God and all that He teaches us.

Please, don't allow Satan to belittle you or tell you that your actions don't matter, bacause they DO! Satan would like for God's people to sit down and shut up, so, that he can run things the way he wants to. I pray that the American people - God's people - will not allow Satan to run rampant, but instead will stand up and be counted with God during this election.

May God watch over and protect each of you. And may God bless our nation with freedom and security forever.

Psalm 37

"Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb..."

With all the evil goings on in the world today, this verse gives me comfort and hope. I don't have to pointedly or vigorously oppose every form of evil that I run across. My God does it. He will take care of these things in his time, not ours.

That isn't to say that I should accept evil things. Far from it, I am called by God to spread His light and goodness. But if I were to spend all my time talking about all the wrong being done and trying to stop the spread of evil then I wouldn't have time to be doing good and spreading God's word, would I?

I am not not going to keep worrying myself about what others are doing. I am not going to envy those who are walking in sin. Because God's judgment will be upon them who oppose him and I certainly don't want to be in that number.

Have a blessed weekend full of the Holy Spirit of God!

Of Trials and Tribulations ...

Friends, Brothers, Sisters, Countrymen, I pray you will lend me your ears for a moment. I feel a great burden for our world. Our country is in financial ruin and the rest of the world isn't far behind. Our environment is unstable. Animals are going extinct. We are at war. People are starving. And all this in an age of enlightenment and scientific advancement!

The Lord is trying to get people's attention, but folks are looking everywhere but at the truth. No matter how great our achievements, no matter how scientific we become, no matter how great we are in the eyes of ourselves or others, we still need God. God is who we are not. We never will be and we will can never change the truth that HE IS.

We need GOD. We are incomplete and often flawed and easily broken without His Spirit dwelling in us. But with Him all things are possible. Christ was given all power in heaven and earth, but we fail to apply His truth to our lives.

If you love Him, keep His commandments. God's promises are great if we just seek Him and do His will. He is holding out His hand to each of us in our hour of need. I pray you will reach out and take that hand and draw yourself nigh unto the presence of our most high and holy God, Jesus Christ.

Have a blessed and spirit filled day!
