You are in total control. You are Absolutely Good. You knew the end from the beginning. Nothing escapes You. You told us that in the end times there would be tribulation, that good will be seen as evil and evil, good. It is too difficult to internalize what is taking place in this country, this world. . .what we do realize is that evil has taken a toe hold and many confessed believers have gone the way of the world and righteousness is not a virtue to be sought. You birthed this nation to evangelize the world but instead it has become a purveyor of filth, greed, and blasphemy. May we heed Your Word, “Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin condemns any people.” (Proverbs 14:34)
Although each of us bears some responsibility for the evil engulfing day to day living, we are painfully aware of the church’s role in our nation’s demise. We pray for an awakening of those under the leadership of lukewarm leaders who choose to refrain from being led by Holy Spirit in their teaching, preaching, and worship. We pray that those who find themselves under such leadership will immediately seek a church that has not and will not compromise Your Word.
Heavenly Father, we continue to pray against criminal intent & malfeasance by world leaders and even both political parties in our own country and that their ways are uncovered and justice served. We ask for Your Hope, Your Protection, Your Guidance for those who have fallen victim to such malfeasance.
May we continue to daily seek You, Holy Spirit, to guide our every path. Please put Your Fire within us to do what is necessary all across this land to witness to a lost and dying world, a hurting world that needs a Savior. Please cause a revival in the hearts and minds of every Christian . . . a revival that begins with a self-evaluation of what is personally being done with the time, gifts and talents You have given us. I ask personally for our church that it will be a beacon in the community and the revival we are planning in mid May will reignite the passion in church members as well as be a harvest for the unsaved.
This Sunday is Mother’s Day. For those of us blessed with godly mothers who share/shared the love of Jesus, love of family and country . . . we have been given a mandate to follow their example . . . for to whom much is given much is required (Luke 12:48). You create in every child a Divine Destiny; therefore we pray for mothers and soon to be mothers to always look to You for guidance. And we also pray that once again we will witness godly older women willing to be role models.
Father God, help us as Christians across this nation remember that every time we leave our homes or churches we are entering Your Mission Field. It’s a fact we even enter the mission field while on the phone, handhelds and computers. Please keep those Divine Appointments coming. Your timing put five people in my path yesterday that I know that You arranged.
May You find each of us daily praying, “Jesus, please shine in my life so that I will be a blessing to someone. Have Your Way with me Lord in Your Service.”
In the Precious Name of Jesus, Amen
Words of Wisdom from a Mother to Her Son the King: The sayings of King Lemuel—an inspired utterance his mother taught him. Listen, my son! Listen, son of my womb! Listen, my son, the answer to my prayers. Do not spend your strength (wealth) on women, your vigor on those who ruin kings. It is not for kings, Lemuel - it is not for kings to drink wine, not for rulers to crave beer lest they drink and forget what has been decreed, and deprive all the oppressed of their rights. Let beer be for those who are perishing, wine for those who are in anguish! Let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more. Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.
Who Can Find A Virtuous Woman?: A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants. She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks. She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet. She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple. Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women do noble things, “Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

IF WE DO NOT TURN FROM OUR SINS AND RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST, THEN THE VERY SACRIFICE MEANT TO BE A BLESSING WILL BECOME A CURSE. THE GOSPEL IS A DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD. IF THE DEATH OF JESUS CHRIST DOES NOT SAVE YOU, THEN THE DEATH OF JESUS WILL CONDEMN YOU.
Amen !!! <><
Psalm 12
To the leader: according to The Sheminith. A Psalm of David.
1 Help, O Lord, for there is no longer anyone who is godly;
the faithful have disappeared from humankind.
2 They utter lies to each other;
with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.
3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,
the tongue that makes great boasts,
4 those who say, ‘With our tongues we will prevail;
our lips are our own—who is our master?’
5 ‘Because the poor are despoiled, because the needy groan,
I will now rise up,’ says the Lord;
‘I will place them in the safety for which they long.’
6 The promises of the Lord are promises that are pure,
silver refined in a furnace on the ground,
purified seven times.
7 You, O Lord, will protect us;
you will guard us from this generation for ever.
8 On every side the wicked prowl,
as vileness is exalted among humankind.

ARE YOU READY?
Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake & would not have let his house be broken into. Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. (Matthew 24:42-44)
Praying with you, in Jesus name.
FATHER, we pray You show us strong truth tellers who follow
Your Word and do Your Bidding. The imposters are abundant
and often confuse and misuse us. Guide us, O LORD, in order
we make the proper and righteous decisions. Only with Your
Help can we duly elect those who wish this country well.
Thank You for all, both great and small. We pray in our Savior’s Name, JESUS. Amen.

Amen, thank you for the reminder of that and of Proverbs
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Amen
Dear Lord, we beseech Thee to purge the monstrous Satanic evil that has seized control of our institutions and government ! Bring these evil individuals to justice ! Strike down these wicked individuals and institutions that blatantly and audaciously lie to the public about their true (evil) intentions while painting good people as the real enemy !
Do not let these servants of darkness prevail over Your children ! Send forth Your angels to liberate us, oh, Lord ! Hear our cries and help us, please, dear Lord !
AMEN !
Amen, Maudeen
