He’s Alive!
impossible to watch that performance with dry eyes
Amen to your prayer Dear SisterK, in Jesus Holy Name.
Christ is Risen, Hallelujah!
Amen
You are God and Father.
We pray that we can truly represent you.
As we pray for our leaders we also pray for ourselves.
That we would not compromise our walk with you.
For then our prayers would be insincere and ineffective.
Like the Pharisees who came to John the Baptist with fake repentance.
We also must make a stand and be willing to take the heat of disdain even as we see the our brave President do.
Thank you for being our example Lord.
May we not disappoint you.
Amen.
Amen and thank you.
From two nights ago! I had a interesting conversation concerning this passage with a friend of mine and it confirmed much.
Jeremiah 16
1 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 You shall not take a wife, nor shall you have sons or daughters in this place. 3 For thus says the Lord concerning the sons and daughters who are born in this place, and concerning the mothers who bear them and the fathers who beget them in this land: 4 They shall die of deadly diseases. They shall not be lamented, nor shall they be buried; they shall become like dung on the surface of the ground. They shall perish by the sword and by famine, and their dead bodies shall become food for the birds of the air and for the wild animals of the earth.
5 For thus says the Lord: Do not enter the house of mourning, or go to lament, or bemoan them; for I have taken away my peace from this people, says the Lord, my steadfast love and mercy. 6 Both great and small shall die in this land; they shall not be buried, and no one shall lament for them; there shall be no gashing, no shaving of the head for them. 7No one shall break bread* for the mourner, to offer comfort for the dead; nor shall anyone give them the cup of consolation to drink for their fathers or their mothers. 8 You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and drink. 9 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: I am going to banish from this place, in your days and before your eyes, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
10 And when you tell this people all these words, and they say to you, ‘Why has the Lord pronounced all this great evil against us? What is our iniquity? What is the sin that we have committed against the Lord our God?’ 11then you shall say to them: It is because your ancestors have forsaken me, says the Lord, and have gone after other gods and have served and worshipped them, and have forsaken me and have not kept my law; 12and because you have behaved worse than your ancestors, for here you are, every one of you, following your stubborn, evil will, refusing to listen to me. 13Therefore I will hurl you out of this land into a land that neither you nor your ancestors have known, and there you shall serve other gods day and night, for I will show you no favor.
14 Therefore, the days are surely coming, says the Lord, when it shall no longer be said, ‘As the Lord lives who brought the people of Israel up out of the land of Egypt’, 15 but ‘As the Lord lives who brought the people of Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the lands where he had driven them.’ For I will bring them back to their own land that I gave to their ancestors.
16 I am now sending for many fishermen, says the Lord, and they shall catch them; and afterwards I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain and every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks. 17 For my eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from my presence, nor is their iniquity concealed from my sight. 18 And* I will doubly repay their iniquity and their sin, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable idols, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations.
19 O Lord, my strength and my stronghold,
my refuge on the day of trouble,
to you shall the nations come
from the ends of the earth and say:
Our ancestors have inherited nothing but lies,
worthless things in which there is no profit.
20 Can mortals make for themselves gods?
Such are no gods!
21 ‘Therefore I am surely going to teach them, this time I am going to teach them my power and my might, and they shall know that my name is the Lord.’
Amen!
Happy Easter to All!
Adding my prayers. God bless.
Amen, Sister K. A blessed Easter to you and all who pause here to pray.
Amen
The Son has risen!
Thank you all for being here with this thread and the daily posts. I read it when I first awaken and it gives meaning to my day -—— and I am sure -—— others.
Amen.
Amen. May we lift up the name of Jesus and give glory to the Father.
Beautiful presentation, Sister K. Amen
Thank you for the encouraging words.
Amen
Amen.
Amen to everyone’s prayers.
It’s always spine-tingling when we read scriptures, even ones we have read before, that seem to be written precisely for a current dilemma! His Word is true yesterday, today and forever!
A Psalm of Asaph
1 Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart. 2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm. 5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment. 7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily. 9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. 10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.

Are we as Old Israel, Lord God? It appears so. Dear God, help us to repent. Postpone Your righteous judgement, as You did for Hezekiah. We ask in Jesus' Name, amen.
Amen!! We had Psalm 64 too!
