I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone: for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
1 Timothy 2:1-2
Religion Forum threads labeled “Prayer” are closed to debate of any kind.
Oh Father God, we lift up the church at this time.
May we draw strength and wisdom from Your Word.
Seek the LORD and His strength; seek His presence continually!

Give us courage and joy, that You have prepared a home for us.

And you will be hated by all for My name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

Let us persevere; never losing sight of the hope that is in Jesus Christ.
The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with Me on My throne, as I also conquered and sat down with My Father on His throne.

In the name of Jesus Christ we do pray.
We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Blessed Be the Lord, My Rock - Psalm 144
1 {A Psalm of David.} Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: (BOOYAH)
2 My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.
5 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.
7 Send thine hand from above; rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children;
8 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
10 It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children, whose mouth speaketh vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD.
Lord God, I pray that we may all be working when Jesus returns for us.

Helter Skelter Run For Shelter PART 4

” . . . The only viable option is to be what we already are, ambassadors from the Kingdom of Heaven, the only kingdom that will not fall. To clothe the naked, feed the hungry, and proclaim the gospel, to await the coming of our King Jesus/Yeshua ha Mashiach...to compel all men everywhere to repent.
I say to preach repentance, but I do not believe that America will repent. This may strike you as a contradiction. If you’ve come with me thus far, Christian, then I trust that you will indulge me in sharing a personal story of something that, although relatively uneventful, still had an impact on my life.
Several years ago I worked for a sub-contractor whose job description was to crush ore (rock containing gold) for a gold mine. This was a small outfit with old broken down equipment. We had a big steel jaw crusher and a series of worn out rubber conveyor belts which were used to arrange the rocks into convenient piles after the ore was crushed. After a particular belt had ripped for the umpteenth time in one week, my boss had indicated that he had had enough of that. Belt repairs were very laborious and time consuming.
He shut everything down and then told me “ you go ahead and start repairing that belt. I’m going to drive on up to the mine’s head office and see if we can buy a new belt from them. I’ll be back in a couple hours.”
” What’s the chances of us getting a belt from them today ?” I asked.
” Oh, I’m pretty sure they’ll have one.”
” Then why am I repairing this old one here? “ I asked, trying not to sound too irritated.
” Because you’re on the clock. “ he responded without skipping a beat.
And there you have it...You and I are on the clock, Christian, and our work is not in vain no matter what it looks like...
Remember, whether you end up in a cave, a secret closet or a concentration camp, as Corrie Ten Boom found herself, Jesus is your only safe Hiding Place.
I leave you with Psalm 91 for encouragement...”.
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
Let us be found faithfully doing the work You have given us.
In Jesus’ Name, amen.
Also praying this.
“Praying for Afghanistan, all its citizens, and US service men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and their loved ones. For God to be their comfort and peace which surpasses all understanding.”

In Jesus’ Name, amen.

HOLY FATHER, there is no question You can do anything.
We thank You for all You have given.
We pray You look upon the loved ones of those who were
taken from us this week. Please offer them strength and
compassion. We ask You release Your Fury on those rulers who
so casually toss aside Your Gift of LIFE. We, Your Children,
are opening our eyes to what evil is found lurking behind
the curtains. We ask Your Help to overcome that Evil; we anticipate laying in green pastures and a restoring of our soul.
In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
