” O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.

² Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.

³ Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.

⁴ Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

⁵ Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

⁶ O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.

⁷ He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.

⁸ He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

⁹ Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;

¹⁰ And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

¹¹ Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:

¹² When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

¹³ When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;

¹⁴ He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;

¹⁵ Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

¹⁶ Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.

¹⁷ He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:

¹⁸ Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

¹⁹ Until the time that his word came: the word of the Lord tried him.

²⁰ The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.

²¹ He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:

²² To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

²³ Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

²⁴ And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.

²⁵ He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.

²⁶ He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.

²⁷ They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

²⁸ He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.

²⁹ He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.

³⁰ Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.

³¹ He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.

³² He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

³³ He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.

³⁴ He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,

³⁵ And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

³⁶ He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.

³⁷ He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

³⁸ Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.

³⁹ He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.

⁴⁰ The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

⁴¹ He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

⁴² For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.

⁴³ And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:

⁴⁴ And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;

⁴5 That They might observe his statues, and keep his laws. Praise the Lord.

Watch, Prepare & Pray!

“And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.”-Matthew 10:28

“Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.”-Daniel 12:2

So which are we going to be? Those in Ukraine may indeed have their “bodies” killed, but what about those who watch and do nothing? What about the countries who stand by and do nothing?

There has been a battle going on for America’s Soul for a while now. And right now, this country is loosing, but the day is not over yet. Pray!

For it will be much worse for our nation if we “loose our soul”, then any attacks currently happening in Ukraine.

Take the “narrow” road…

Watch, Prepare & Pray!

“Arise, shine, for your light is come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you”-Isaiah 60:1

Jesus warned us, “the love of others would grow cold”, “ You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, and “many will turn away from the faith”… We must pray that our faith will remain!

In Her appearance in Ecuador, Mary warned us that in the future, attacks that would be come. Attacks against marriage, churches, morality…Sin would abound, people would not even be able to see the truth or even see what is righteous behavior.

But Mary also said , “But when evil finally seems to triumph over all, when all seems lost, Complete Restoration of the Church will begin and the Church will finally reawaken. “

“The Church” is simply all of us who believe in Jesus Christ.

Are we in THE End Times? Only God knows for sure. But we do know this: Mary gave us a reason to hope. We need Jesus now, more than ever before! And we need to follow Jesus no matter what the cost. And we need to pray every day.

WWIII may be in our future. Considering our nation’s bevavior, perhaps we have already lost without a shot being fired.

But we have not lost our faith, not yet. Keep Praying 🙂

We need to ask the Holy Spirit to show us the truth of the world around us. Because we need to see it as it is, not as we wish it were. And not as it used to be.

Watch, Prepare and Pray!

What have we done?  Where do we go now?  Russia has taken over one of the largest nuclear plants in Europe.  People there – work at gun point.  Many have died.  Some are injured.  And children have suffered and died, while the world stood by and watched.

They begged us for help!  The world said No.  And whether the world said no by design or out of fear, it matters not.  A mother held her innocent child and begged for help and the entire world refused.  The mother and child suffered greatly and they died. 

It’s hard to even know who to hold responsible for this level of suffering.  Thank God, truly-that God knows and those responsible will not escape justice.  They will be held accountable by the Lord Himself for all of the suffering that they have caused.  They will not escape.

The U.S. government has done – basically nothing.  Sanctions were never going to stop this war and they are smart enough to know that.  But they allowed this war anyway, and because they did so, millions suffered.

As for the millions of Americans praying for the Ukraine.  It’s hard to know what to do when one’s government refuses to do the right thing.  Keep praying.  Call your Representatives in Congress.  Some start counting calls at 10.  Be extra kind to each other.  Love God and each other well.  Help a refugee.  In other words, do what you can!

And never doubt, as my Pastor used to say, “Prayer Changes Things”.  And it does.

Ukraine is only the beginning.  We need to continue praying for those suffering in the Ukraine, but also for our own country, ourselves and each other as well. 

One of my favorite prayers that I pray every day is, “If I fail to hold onto you Lord, please hold on to me.  In Your Name Jesus I pray”.  For me, it’s kind of like an insurance policy.  I hope that I will always be able to do the Will of God.  I hope that I will never blame God, even for a moment, for what is our world’s doing.  I hope that I will always love our Lord with the same devotion that I do today.  But just in case, lol, I pray this prayer every day ?

Watch, Prepare and Pray.

“The world waits for a miracle, the heart longs for a bit of hope”-Lauren Daigle, Light of the World

But what if that miracle is us?  What if God wants us to be the miracle?

“a child prays for peace on earth, she’s calling out from a sea of hurt”- Lauren Daigle, Light of the World

The Holy Spirit lives in each of us.  Loving God and our neighbor was meant to be more than sitting on the sidelines of life.  And life can be messy.  But if we ask God to direct our path, God will never fail us.  For God is always Faithful ?

Watch, Prepare and Pray…

Be the Hope.  Let your light shine ?

“Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near.  Let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts.  Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.”  Isaiah 55:6-7

Ash Wednesday marks a day each year that many focus on repentance.  We confess our sins; we ask for forgiveness in Jesus Name; and we do our best to avoid repeating the same sin.  In other words, we make changes.  That is really what Ash Wednesday and Lent are: a chance to repent.

Whether we want to face it or not, we are running out of time.  Real repentance does not just mean sorrow over our sins, it means change.  And change is hard for all of us.

But if we want our sins to be truly forgiven, real repentance is required.  And that includes being willing to confess our sins to God, to change, and to truly follow Jesus ?
