Perhaps We Need to Pray for the Second Coming
VANITY | May 24, 2013 | MSSC6644

Perhaps we need to pray for the second coming

After reading headlines and the news this morning, I realized that the only way out of our rush to chaos, is to find a leader who can awaken the sleeping, invigorate the downhearted, punish the guilty and annihilate the evil.

I believe that person has already been promised: Jesus Christ. How do we get him here? We get on our knees, bow our heads, and beg forgiveness. We utter prayers of Thanksgiving for all He has done for us. We beg Him to save us from the wickedness and snares of the devil. Satan is loosed upon the Earth, and only Christ can defeat him permanently. We fast and abstain and sacrifice whatever we must until our prayer for His salvation is granted.

I have no other idea of how we can deal with the reality of our world today.

May we be blessed by the Lord, Our God, once more. Amen

I’m getting so very frustrated with the people of the world and of America especially. When will we realize that ONLY GOD is in charge.

Please forgive my usurpation of FR to have a tantrum. This is one of the very few places left where I feel free to share these thoughts.

There is going to much more suffering prior to the second coming.

I'm willing to face it, but let's get it over with! Praise the Lord.

You mean everything that happens, God is responsible for?

I like how/what you think. God's will ... will be! Our part is to be obedient to His Word. Love the LORD with all our heart, mind, soul, strength, and love our neighbor as our self.

"Narrow is the way, broad is the path/road and Few there be that find it. "Matthew 7:14 KJV - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We may not have to pray too hard, I think Jesus is at the door.

As a former teacher, I would normally try to help you understand that I'm not talking about responsibility, but about humility and power. As was pointed out earlier, our education system has gone sideways in the last thirty or so years. So, just read this already provided Biblical exhortation, and start praying.

"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." - 2 Chronicles 7:14

is to find a leader who can awaken the sleeping, invigorate the downhearted,

No need to find Him, He's not lost, 'He's ALIVE and Active. Sharper than any double-edged sword and penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; and judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.' Heb 4:12

punish the guilty and annihilate the evil.

It Is written Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Romans 12:19

"Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather GIVE PLACE UNTO WRATH: for it is written, ....."

I had some physical and mental problems, but I'm back good as new. Well good as a 61 yr old should be.

No, otherwise Satan would have no guilt.

It won’t be long now. The pope is paving the way for the Anti-Christ to come as he has just spoken out saying we are all saved, even non-believers, thus denying John 3:16 and John 14:6.
I this lie is what is necessary for the world to hear so that they will accept the anti-Christ.
Some folks are going to be surprised when Jesus comes again to take his church to heaven.

You said ONLY God is in charge. What does that mean?

Just be careful not to pray for the wrong things or in the wrong spirit.
Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light. / As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. / Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? …

— Amos 5:18-20
Read the following verses, too.

As a 68-year-old, I understand. Welcome back, I think (considering the state of the world, that is.)

Perhaps???

I pray for it every day. I look up every day. Multiple times a day.
