***IT IS NO ACCIDENT GOD HAS YOU READING THIS TODAY. READ IT CAREFULLY.THIS COULD VERY WELL BE THE TIME AND MOMENT GOD IS CALLING YOU TO MAKE A DEEPER COMMITMENT TO HIM AND HIS WORK, AND IS OPENING THE DOOR FOR YOU TO MAKE A REAL IMPACT WITH YOUR LIFE. FOR SOME, THIS IS GOD SPEAKING TO YOU.I WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU AS YOU HEAR....AND RESPOND.
Are you ready to take a stand for Christ??? The Holy Spirit spoke to me long and often last year about the importance of this year. I didn't know the details, other than it would be the most critical year in human history.That would be an easy claim to make about any year. For those who have been part of the Liveprayer family for any length of time these past 9+ years,you know that I am not a doom and gloomer, not one of these apocalyptic preachers who sees the end of the world in every event. However, it was clear to me that this would be a watershed year for the spiritual direction of this nation and I shared that warning with you often as the year unfolded.
So where are we as we wind down the last few weeks of 2008? We are aculture of death that is about to go to levels we have never imagined. In tomorrows Devotional, I will be dealing with the Florida teen who committed suicide live on a web cam while viewers cheered him on. The number one movie in the nation this past weekend was a movie about the dark world of vampires (death) that has been romanticized and geared to attract anaudience of children and young adults to that perverted world. In less than 2 months, our new President will be sworn in and he will insure innocent babies will continue to be legally slaughtered in this nation as well ashelping to fund infanticide in other countries.
We are also a culture of sexual perversion. Homosexuality is now mainstream and the new administration will work hard to insure there are special rights afforded those who choose this perverted form of sex. You will continue to see God's plan for marriage and the family destroyed by those who want to re-define them to include those people involved in sinful sexual relationships. The worldwide proliferation of pornography continues and is going to get worse. Sex is no longer seen as the gift from God that it is for a man and a woman in the bonds of marriage, but simply a form of sport.The prevailing sexual perversion in our society is literally destroying lives and killing people and it will only get worse.
There is coming an all out assault on Christians both by the government and by the enemies of God. Look for legislation very soon that will make speaking out against the sin of homosexuality, even from the Bible,considered "hate speech" and against the law. It won't be long until speaking out against false religions like Islam will also fall under some form of hate speech legislation. Those who try to openly share the Gospel will come under constant attack. A California student at Yuba Community College was sharing the Gospel and handing out tracts to fellow students and was told to stop or he would be arrested and possibly expelled. You can be assured that there will be persecution of Christians like you have never seen in this nation before.
So, what is our response? The shaking that God is doing through the economy is starting to have an affect. The word I want to share with you today is division. Division as in the wheat and the tares, as in the goats and the sheep. Many churches and ministries are shutting their doors for a lack offunds. Many media ministries, large and small are cutting back or simply going off the air for a lack of funds. God is beginning the separation process. The hostility in this nation towards Christians is going to get to the point very soon that there will be a big price to pay for those who go out into the marketplace and preach the uncompromised, life-changing Truthof God's Word. Even today, there are very few willing to pay that price,and trust me, the heat will get much worse on those who do in the coming months.
The bottom line, it is time to choose. Are you going to stand and becounted for Christ or not? I decided many years ago I was going to take mystand. If there is one thing I can say, by the grace of Almighty God, I have faithfully been here now for 3,373 days sharing the Truth of God's Wordand the hope and love of Jesus Christ. I know today many are reading these words saying, "What can I do?" First, it is no accident that you are reading these words today. Second, never forget for a second no matter how difficult things may get that in the end, God wins. Third, remember that your purpose in this life is to serve and glorify the Lord. Your lastinglegacy will be those things you did for Christ during this life. Last, this life is brief, very brief. Tomorrow is promised to none of us. We must take each day as the gift from God that it is and let God use our life for His glory that day.
Liveprayer has been soverignly raised up by God in these last days to lead His charge in this nation. I have no huge organization, have stayed on the outside of the politics of big time Christian ministries, and am seen by most in the world as an extreme, Bible-thumping, narrow minded radical individual. I have no other message but the Gospel and no other desires but to serve the Lord. There is not enough money in the world to deal with what I do, but I gladly do it since I see the changed lives and souls won to Christ each day. For the past 9+ years I have been content to simply be one of God's messengers, but in these last days, at this critical moment in time, God has called me to play a larger role in helping to bring the true followers of Christ together as one to take our stand for Him. Are you ready to take your stand for Christ???
I love you and care about you so much. I am asking each person reading this today who is ready to take their stand for Christ, to look over these 6 things that you can do to help me. Everyone of course can and must pray.However, there are 6 action steps that you can choose from to help me as wetake our stand for Christ. Serving the Lord is not something you docasually, it is a commitment. God gave His very best when He sent His Son,we should serve Him each day with nothing less than our very best. Pray over these 6 action steps and see what God may be calling you to do as you take your stand for Him!

6. Fundraising - Unlike other ministries, Liveprayer has ZERO paid fundraisers or development people. Again, I just never went the route all major ministries go of having a staff of people who do nothing but contact donors and go out to raise funds. All we do each day, all that we provide is made available for FREE to take God’s Word into the marketplace and impact lives for Christ. Obviously it takes money to operate. I’ve simply shared our needs and walked by faith that God would provide each month.Raising money is a special gift. I am praying that those who have that special gift and want to serve God will help me in this area.
I was complaining to a friend that I didn’t have a church, a home of God that I trusted. He started sending me his daily devotionals, then I signed up for my own.
This is new for me and I wanted to share it just in case anyone out thre was like me and didn’t have a “home” to go to each and every Sunday!
While I am sure many here can appreciate your intentioon, this is not the forum for this
Actually, it is....hense the Religion Forum.

“As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God,”
If there are FReepers in the Sonoma County area that are seeking a true Christian church, I can heartily recommend:
Open Door Christian Church
5th & B Streets
Petaluma
707 762 3873
www.opendoorpetaluma.org
Sunday at 10AM
I moved to Petaluma just over a year ago and was sampling the various churches in town. This the third church I visited and I knew I’d found the real deal.
Contact me if you’d like more details.
Any recommendations for Suffolk County Long Island?
I did’t have a church, a home of God that I trusted
Admittedly a trusted church is difficult to find in the age we now find ourselves, however you should keep looking.
It’s the church (Jesus is coming back for) and by this writers words, I to think the Old Ship Of Zion is preparing to set sail.
You must realize for a lot of people who have no hairs, the church is the only family they have and our presents there is very well needed in supporting these people. And, to spread the “Gospel Of Christ”.
Just a suggestion, try visiting different churches, I’m sure there is one some where needing your presents’.
You will know when you have located the right one as the Holy Spirit will bare that witness for you.
Good luck and, may God bless you in your search.
Wish I could help you out pal, I just don’t get in your ‘hood too often.
I will keep searching. Who knows, perhaps there isn't a true one for me, at least here.
Admittedly a trusted church is difficult to find in the age we now find ourselves
I have a great fear of choosing the wrong church. For now, I will join in on the online church they offer.
Lol!! Perhaps this online church is meant for me!
I’d follow Buck61’s advice; visit a different church each week till you find the one that feels right. That’s what I did. I knew I was in the church for me when the opening tune was Battle Hymm of the Republic!
2 Timothy 2:12-13.....In fact, all those desiring to live with godly devotion in association with Christ Jesus will also be prosecuted. But wicked men and imposters will advance from bad to worse, misleading and being mislead.
Sorry, that is 2 Timothy 3:12-13
Enjoyed this! Thanks. I, too, think we are living in the days that wil bring the ‘end of the time of the gentiles’ and then Christ will return. I do believe we will face serious persecution, and Christ, Himself, said that it will be like nothing ever seen on earth before. It is my belief that it will begin with Israel’s persecution, then as Scripture states, he (Anti-Christ) will turn to the Christians, the offspring of the “woman”, and He will pursue us and nearly make us extinct. In fact, it states quite clearly, that if Christ did not cut shirt Anti-Christ’s time, there would be no faith left. We need to prepare.
that if Christ did not cut shirt Anti-Christ’s time, there would be no faith left. We need to prepare.
that if Christ did not cut (short) Anti-Christ’s time, there would be no faith left. We need to prepare.
Yes, I agree. Not looking forward to this, and I fear from my children and their children...although, so far I only have 1 granddaughter.
Sorry I didn’t respond earlier, but I’ve been out with surgery!
