"The End!"(1 Peter 4:7)

The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray." (1 Peter 4:7)

Greetings,

The end of the year is upon us once again.  Endings always mark new beginnings.  They both should be celebrated.  It is Father God who ordains them both.  His salvation through Jesus marked the end of the Old Covenant and replaced with the New Covenant.  The old life of sin replaced with the new life of righteousness that comes through faith in Jesus Christ.  Celebrate always thanking the Father in prayer and praise for life eternal.

Challenge:  Many more endings and beginnings are promised in the Holy Scriptures.  Let us stay focused on sharing with others salvation in Jesus, the ultimate new beginning!  Amen!

"They Had Been Told!"(Luke 2:20)

"20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told."(Luke 2:20)

Greetings and Merry CHRISTmas,

Let us keep prayer a priority alongside praising God continuously during this season!  God is speaking always!  We pick up His Holy Scriptures that tells His story about His only Son, Jesus.  The world has been told and the Word, Jesus, is still being shared.  We bring glory to God every time that we share His love with the Good News about salvation through Jesus.

Challenge:  We are to be found faithful in prayer for others to hear and see Jesus for themselves receiving eternal life.

"So David Inquired of God!"(1 Chronicles 14:10)

10 so David inquired of God: “Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hands?”

The Lord answered him, “Go, I will deliver them into your hands.”

Greetings,

It is always right to pray and inquire of the Lord God!  He has promised to answer all who seek Him.  This encouragement is for us all and do not let anything come between the act of praying in Jesus name.  A person of faith like David keeps depending on the Lord for instructions.  Knowing and seeking the Lord is success.

Challenge: Prayers are to be continuous!  Let us persevere in faith and know the Lord will answer.  Amen!

“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—“( 1 Timothy 2:1)

Greetings,

The holiday of Thanksgiving has come and gone. However, thanksgiving should be continually celebrated every day. The Holy Spirit leads us in prayer and Thanksgiving. Let us be open of some ways to add thankfulness in our daily lives especially during prayer. It is wonderful to bless our Father and Savior, Jesus Christ with such thoughtfulness.

"Thanksgiving to Overflow!"(2 Corinthians 4:15)

"All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God."(2 Corinthians 4:15)

Greetings,

It is time once again to celebrate the holiday, Thanksgiving Day.  This day seems nominal to some or has little significance.  In fact, the holiday is slowly slipping into another shopping day.   The true meaning is being forgotten with these activities.  Believers are responsible for keeping the attitude of gratitude making it contagious.

Every day is for giving thanks.  Father God has given such a great salvation through Jesus Christ.  He has filled many with great and wonderful blessings of miracles.  His grace and mercy are at the top of the list.  Our prayers should enthusiastically include thanksgiving!

Challenge:  Let us keep making "thanksgiving" a part of who we are as believers in Christ Jesus!  Amen!

3 I thank God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers."(2 Timothy 1:3)

Greetings,

It is my passion/calling to promote and exhort God's people to pray unto Him in Jesus name.   I pray that I am following in Jesus' footsteps in doing so diligently and persistently.    I give thanksgiving unto God for the opportunities to give back to my brothers and sisters in this way.  Let us continue on seeking and praying unto God while He can be found.

"On the Golden Altar!"(Revelation 8:3)

“3Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people,on the golden altar in front of the throne.”(Revelation 8:3)

Greetings,

Gold is known as the most precious of metals. High value is placed on it by those in the world. Father God, the Creator of all, puts a distinguishing value on gold since the streets in Heaven are made of it. Also, there is the golden altar along with the golden bowls of incense. The bowls are holding the prayers of God's people and the altar is where they are offered to God. The prayers of the righteous are highly valued and are as pure as gold.

Challenge: Make your very life one of prayer and watch the golden answers come from the Father in Jesus name!

"Golden Bowls Full of Incense"(Revelation 5:8)

"And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people."(Revelation 5:8)

Greetings,

There is something significant about this verse.  It speaks of the end times of course, but there is something else.  It speaks of the activity of prayer by God's people during the end times.  The golden bowls are full of incense that are representing our prayers.  Another aspect of the verse catching my attention is that the living creatures and elders each had a bowl used during worship of the God Most High!  So wonderful and so great is our Father to include us in on the Heavenly worship.

Challenge:  Let us get a whole mind-blowing belief about our prayers.  They are continually going before the Father in Jesus name as part of the continuous worship in Heaven.  We are going to found faithful when the Lord Jesus comes!  Amen!

It is becoming apparent day by day that Jesus is scheduled to return soon.  Matthew 24 foretells much about the day approaching.  Believers in Christ Jesus are standing firm that the day will indeed happen.  It is one of the promises and prophecies of the Holy Bible.  We still have the work of the Kingdom.  Our faith is significant in these end times.

"Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy."(Micah 7:18)

Greetings,

There is no other God, but our Father of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Judgments are taking place throughout the world.  God's delight however is to give mercy instead of the judgment.  Repentance is God's kindness to all that would receive and is an example of His mercy.  Let us pray fervently for God's kindness, compassion, and mercy.  Surely, He hears the prayer of the righteous.

20 Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, 21 equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”(Hebrews 13:20-21)

Greetings,

The above Scripture is my pray for the believers in Christ Jesus. We know that Father God has given us everything. All good things come from Him. He works and enables us to do what is pleasing to Him. It is by His grace. We all, especially in these times, will need to always look to Jesus. He is the great Shepherd of the sheep.

Greetings,

We are seeing the Day approaching! The Day of the Lord is coming upon us! There is encouragement from the Word of God on this topic.

"The Wise Ones!"(Matthew 25:4)

“The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. (Matthew 25:4)

Greetings,

The times are distressing! Surely we are approaching the end of time. Jesus taught in the parable of the virgins that preparation is needed. Preparation is wise. The lack of getting ready is foolishness. Everyday is time to evaluate to see if one is in the faith. We should be working out salvation with fear and trembling. Our thoughts should align with God's thoughts. We should be focused on the permanent that is eternal. Everything being of this world is temporary.

Challenge: Pray and pray some more! Cover your family, friends, associates, acquaintances, and even enemies for the saving of souls. There is a great urgency! By all means get some extra oil!

Words are important! There is life and death in them. Some are meant to build up and others will tear down. Some are positive or negative. Our faith grows with words to strengthen it.

"Peace Be With You!"(John 20:21)

“Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you!"(John 20:21)

Jesus is called the Prince of Peace. He promised and does give peace to His people.  It is not the peace of the world. Peace symbols and signs do not hold the peace of God.  God’s peace surpasses all understanding.  Turmoil, distress, etc. upsets the mind and soul.  The disciples felt this after Jesus’ death and resurrection.  His appearance and words were meant to comfort them.

Challenge:  Do you need comfort?  I encourage you to rely on Jesus and receive His peace.  Glory to God, the Most High!  Amen!

We are seeing the Day of the Lord approaching. We are eagerly waiting the arrival of the Lord Jesus. There is in us the looking forward to spending eternity with Jesus. Our efforts are to be made toward being ready.  The verse says, “spotless, blameless, and at peace…”  Our hearts, minds, and live are a reflection of the Holy God.  Why?  The “Day” will bring about destruction with fire.  Everything will be made new.

To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."(Micah 6:8)

Walking humbly is to depend on Father God!  He is our very life!  Our every breath comes in accordance to His grace and mercy.  Our actions show forth in every day life to act with justice and mercy.  We show love to all.  Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this; to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”(John 15:13)

We serve the only God who perform miracles.  He is doing the supernatural.  Our expectations by faith is that Father God will do exceedingly above all we can ask or think.  The Lord Jesus told us to ask anything in His name, and it will be done.(John 14:14)  We ask for salvations of souls, healing, and the intervention of God Almighty.  We wait and actions are taken!

"He Judges!"(Revelation 19:11)

Greetings,

“I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True.  With justice he judges and wages war.”(Revelation 19:11)

Jesus is the rider.  He is the judge that executes righteousness and justice.  Revelation talks of a future event.  The Holy Bible speaks of judgments happening even now on the Earth.  What is the response when Christians see these judgments happening?  Prayer and intercession for the nations is appropriate.  God is looking for His children to respond extremely in this manner.

Reminder:  “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one.”(Ezekiel 22:30)

God is looking at the obedience of belief in His Son, Jesus Christ.  We do not work for salvation.  Salvation is the person, Jesus.  Everyone calling on His name will be saved.  This is the Gospel message that is being proclaimed around the world.  We are called to let others know the truth of God’s word.  Other religions mostly require working for the soul’s salvation.
