Freedom: A Gift From God!

Happy 4th of July! We are all so very grateful to all of those who served in our armed forces for their selfless courage and their defense of our nation. But we are also so grateful to our Lord.

There are so many countries that have fought many battles to be free. They fought with selfless courage and the support of their people. But Freedom is not a gift that has been received in every country.

Today, we need to Thank God that we have Freedom here and pray for those who do not ! And pray especially for those still at war!

More On Prayer :)

 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” – Jeremiah 29:11

God answers our prayers, yes, no or not yet. But we can always be sure that if our will aligns with His for us, they will be answered YES. And if God’s answer is No, we can be sure that His plans for us are good.

The very best Prayer we can Pray is to ask God that His will occurs in our heart and soul, and in our Spirit and life. For God saves the very best for those who seek His Will πŸ™‚

And if we want a Revival to begin in us, we simply ask God to help us start one and we start one with Prayer. For Prayer is simply a conversation with our Best Friend, God.

How Do We Start A Revival In Us?

We know that Revival “starts with us” :). But how do we begin? We Pray. And we Pray like we never have before. We talk to God all day. We tell Him of our every success and we tell Him of our every concern. Just as we do our friends!

We “bring our heart first” and tell Him of all of the things that are bringing us happiness and we thank Him. We tell Jesus about any hardships we suffered and anyone we are worried about. And we offer up to Him any pain or suffuring we have endured. And we repent of any sins we can think of and ask God to point out the ones we are missing.

Throughout the day, as they occur to us, we ask Him for our every need. We talk to Him about those we love and those we are concerned for. God knows our needs and will answer them in His time. But God likes to hear them from us. And if God does not answer a prayer for our needs, it’s because we don’t need them! God loves us more than we can comprehend and He will never leave us!

And if we want a Revival to begin in us, we simply ask God to help us start one and we start one with Prayer. For Prayer is simply a conversation with our Best Friend: God!

Let The Revival Start With Us!

How many of us have heard that :). If Jesus’s Name is not mentioned enough in public, perhaps we need to be the ones to say it. Perhaps we need to be the ones to ask others how we might be praying for them.

If we truly believe, maybe we need to act on that faith! And if we are unsure of our faith, perhaps acting upon it will strengthen our faith more than we ever thought would be possible πŸ™‚

Thank You!

One can’t help but realize just how much easier it has been to walk through these past days, indeed our lives, knowing that Jesus was walking them with us!

What Next?

With the recent war between Iran and Israel done for now, the question arises: What next? What do we do with God’s Great Gift of Peace?

The answer is very simple, we use the time to grow ever closer to our Father; and to Follow Jesus even more closely. We spend our time in prayer and in the pages of God’s Word. And we Pray to the Holy Spirit and ask Him to help us use the Gifts He has given us wisely and generously.

We remember, just how much God loves each one of us and we ask Jesus every day to be our Saviour.

And we repent of our sins every single day.

And we Pray! All day, every waking hour! For more trouble will come…

In other words, we get ready!

So Where In The Bible Are We?

14 β€œTherefore, son of man, prophesy, and say to Gog, Thus says the Lord God: On that day when my people Israel are dwelling securely, will you not know it? 15 You will come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great host, a mighty army. 16 You will come up against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land. In the latter days I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when through you, O Gog, I vindicate my holiness before their eyes.” – Ezekiel 38:14

We all know that we are living in the “latter days”. But what we don’t know is how long they may be.

My personal belief is that we are living in a time where the stage is “being set”. I agree with the comments made by Joel Rosenberg. We know that at some point Turkey, Russia and Iran will make alliances. Just as we know that there will be a final war against Israel, where Israel will have no earthly allies, but God will truly intervene in favor of Israel and save His Chosen People! But we don’t know when that will happen.

However, it may be that the stage is also being set in Israel. Israel must be at peace for a while prior to the Final War. And while that never seemed possible before, perhaps now it will be.

Granted that peace may be temporary. But I see that Peace, temporary though it might be, as an opportunity. A time given to allow us to Follow Jesus even more closely. To pray more unselfishly. And to truly repent!

For when that World War comes, and it will, we will need to be ready!

Follow Jesus and Be the Light!

Do Not Fear!

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” – Isaiah 41:10

God’s got this and God’s got us!

God Is With Us When We Face Our Fears!

It’s only natural for us to worry, even fear, the future right now. But God will be with us, so do not fear. Because there is no power on this earth that can defeat our Lord and we all know that. Just as we know that our permanent home is in Heaven; where we will be safe for all eternity!

But while we are still on earth, if we ask God to give us the courage to “Face our fears “, God will! Because courage does not mean the abscence of fear, it means the facing of it! And with God’s help, we can do that πŸ™‚

Just stay close to Jesus and all will be well πŸ™‚
