THE CHURCH - LAMENT & WOE II Samuel 15, 17 & 18; UPDATES; PRAYER TARGETS

Greetings, "And David went up by the ascent of mount Olivet, and wept as he went up, and had his head covered, and he went barefoot:  and all the people that was with him covered every man his head, and they went up, weeping as they went up.. . . "  II Samuel 15:30 ". . . The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness."  II Samuel 17:29 "And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept:  and as he went, thus he said, O my son, Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!"  II Samuel 18:33 A nation reeling from covid cases and deaths; signs of economic collapse increasing; China flexing its military muscles; homes and streets still in charos, dark, evil and without God.  And where is the church?  What is the voice of the church?  What is the response of the church?    That which is most needed, and has been for decades, is that which came from the above Scriptures

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS, THE CHURCH & OUR FUTURE

 Greetings, "And He changeth the times and the seasons:  He removeth kings, and setteth up kings:  He giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:"  Daniel 2:21 If you haven't heard, there is a pretty important election upon us.  The results of this election are ever so important for our near future as well as long term future as a nation and for the church.  There are numerous things to be considered in this election, but most are focused on political elements rather than spiritual purposes.   The one thing I have been absolutely shocked by, is the ramping up of Christian leaders to support Trump.  And all of this comes back to four years ago, it is still the same sentiment, this election is the vote for the lesser of 2 evils.    I believe firmly in the above verse, God puts people where He wants them.  It is for His purposes, not ours.  Our humanism in the church continues to blind our eyes to this truth.  It's not about what He wants

EZEKIEL III

  Chapter 35 35:1      MOreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,      God's word comes to him;  And God said/spoke; 35:2      Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it.    God directs to prophesy against Seir; God instructs him to set his face against it; 35:3      And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out Mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.      And God said/spoke;  God is against them;  I will's of God to stretch His hand against them;  God's hand;  I will's of God to make them desolate; 35:4      I will lay thy cities waste, and thou hsalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.      I will's of God to lay cities waste and desolate;  God is to be known as Lord; 35:5     God saw and knew what they did and why they did it; Omniscient; 35:6      Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God.  I will prepare thee unto blood and blood sh

PRAYER EMAIL - TAKE HEED

 Greetings, "Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently. . . " Deuteronomy 4:9 "Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; . . . "  Deuteronomy 4:15 "Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the Lord your God. . . "  Deuteronomy 4:23 Five seconds inside eternity, we all will wish we had 'taken heed' to ourselves, every day, every moment.  The very fall of our nation and homes and society and the powerlessness in the church today is due to this warning from Moses here in Deuteronomy.  And it is not just Moses speaking it in context to Israel, but it is found throughout all the Bible with this constant warning from God, to 'take heed'.    Take heed to what? Take heed to: --our daily living, that we walk by faith and for His glory and not self and sin; --choices that we make, that it is God's will and not our's; --spiritual disciplines, that we not let them slip; --to our prayer life that we be faithful
