A few days ago, i sent this out as an e mail.
Seems i should post it here now.
Joshua 1:7-9
“Only be strong and very courageous;
be careful to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you;
do not turn from it to the right or to the left,
so that you may have success wherever you go.
This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth,
but you shall meditate on it day and night,
so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it;
for then you will make your way prosperous,
and then you will have success.
Have I not commanded you?
Be strong and courageous!
Do not tremble or be dismayed,
for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
In GOD’s word we are told:
“If and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways,
then I will hear from heaven,
will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
Take responsibility for your actions.
We have been given a short list of things we are to do and not do.
But yet the human race even the church has and is choosing to take the wide path the simple path the path of least resistance, pleasing themselves with the lusts of the world.
The lust of possessions and position rather than seeking the Face of GOD and obeying His words.
In Matthew 7:13-14 we are told;
¶ “Enter through the narrow gate;
for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction,
and there are many who enter through it.
For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
The short list we have been given to follow and obey;
(1) “You shall have no other gods before Me.”
(2) “You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.”
(3) “You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.”
(4) “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God;
in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you.
For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.”
(5) “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be prolonged in the land which the LORD your God gives you.”
(6) “You shall not murder.”
(7) “You shall not commit adultery.”
(8) “You shall not steal.”
(9) “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.”
(10) “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house;
you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife or his male servant or his female servant or his ox or his donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
Jesus was asked
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”
And He said to him,
“YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.”
The second is like it,
“YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.
On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
Yes Christ Jesus came that we might live in freedom from the consequences of sin, but not so that we could live in sin.
Want your country to change for the good?
Then take responsibility for your actions.
And turn from your disobedient of GOD’s word.
Put your faith in the creator instead of the created.
A man can not save you,
only the Son of God, the Lord Christ Jesus can save you.
And to all the pastors on this mailing list, remember these words in Matthew.
Matthew 7:21-24
¶ “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’
And then I will declare to them,
‘I never knew you;
DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’
Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
Just because you hold a title does not give you a free ride in to heaven.
It does not give you the right to hold on to sin,
Do you have things in your life that take up your time before you give your time to GOD?
Do you have idols in your life?
Possessions, position, sports, actors, worldly books, photos, art work, anything that possesses your time and draws your faith and dependance from the LORD your GOD.
Do you through around the name of the LORD your God to make another think you are more holy or have arrived?
Do you use His name in vain?
Do you keep the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God;
in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you.
For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth,
the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day;
therefore, the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.”
Do you Honor your father and your mother?
Do you commit murder?
Do you think evil of or against your brothers?
If so, Christ Jesus says you have committed murder.
Do you commit adultery?
Do you look upon a woman with lust, with desire, with immoral thoughts?
If so Christ Jesus says you have already committed adultery.
Do you steal?
Do you do things or say things for your own gain?
If so you are stealing from others
Do you speak false things against your neighbor?
Pass on things that have been said with out checking out if they are truth or not?
Than chases are you are or have passed on lies about others.
Do you covet what your neighbor’s has?
They have it so you have to have it also?
Do you love the LORD your GOD with ALL your heart, with ALL your soul, with ALL your mind? or is your love for the Lord divided?
Do you love your neighbor as much as you love yourself?
Knowing the word of GOD and living by the word of GOD are two different things.
Want your country to be a free country?
Want your country to prosper?
Then get your life securely planted in the commandments we have been given by the LORD your GOD.
Repent of the sin in your life and turn to Christ your LORD.
If truth is to be told it is the churches lack of dedication to the Lord Crist Jesus that has put us in the condition we are in as a country.
As the morals of the Churches have declined the morals of the country have declined.
And now it seems the country has no morals at all.
Call yourself a Christian?
Then take responsibility,
Stop playing Church,
If you are a pastor or in leadership, step down from your ivory tower, and treat your congregation as equals.
For in all truth and reality you are not any better than the ones you think are the least of them.
It is truly sad what the Church has become in America, Men of GOD pastors, if your wife cheated on you, brought others in to your home entertained and made love to them on a regular basis, how would you feel?
Really,
Then how do you thing Christ Jesus feels when the Church His Bride entertains others?
You can not serve two masters, and GOD will not break your will.
His spirit will direct and teach but only if you allow Him to do so.
You cling to the worldly tings and concepts.
Do not be shocked when you stand before the LORD and hear these words
“Depart from Me for I never knew you”
It is your choice:
Take responsibility for your thoughts and actions, in all humility seek the face of GOID and repent of the sin in your life,
if you truly do so and ask for forgiveness the LORD your GOD will forgive you, and HE says He will heal your land.
So, what are you going to do?
It is your choice.
Something to honestly consider:
What day did Father GOD set as the sabbath?
And what did the LORD Jesus say in Matthew
Matthew 5:17
“Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.”
The law of Father GOD states
“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God;
in it you shall not do any work,
you or your son or your daughter,
your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you.
For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth,
the sea and all that is in them,
and rested on the seventh day;
therefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.”
The sabbath day was at the end of the work week, that is Saturday.
That does not mean you can’t have church on Sunday,
it means we are to keep the sabbath and keep it holy,
the sabbath is the day we are to set aside to spend with our Lord our GOD.
Not watching sports,
not spending our time catching up on thing we did not have time to do the rest of the week,
not washing and polishing the god in the driveway.
It is to be the day we set aside to spend in the word of GOD seeking the face of GOD,
a time of rest in the LORD our GOD, not in the world.
This is one thing i think the Seventh Day Adventist got it right.
Think about it
What will you do?
Don’t get sucked in to the old religion that has been given the new name of ‘brother sun’
The worship of the sun which has been and is being done on Sunday.
Take the time to do the research as to who and to when the Church of Christ started having church on Sundays,
if you honestly do the research, you will be surprised at what you will find.
Out for now,
Keep your powder dry, your heart pure and your eyes on the LORD your GOD.

Pray you have taken the time to go back over the last 8 posting and have asked and allowed the Holy Spirit to teach you and show you how to truly grasped what the Lord Jesus has said to you, to us the church.
Revelation 1:3
“Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near."
{{ we spent 8 days looking at what our Lord Christ Jesus said to the Churches
(remember if you are a true Christian, one who believes in and is a follows Christ Jesus, a keeper of His commandments)
you are the church the letters in Revelation 2 and 3 are written to.
Many, and myself also have quoited Revelation 1:3 “Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy," And stop there leaving the impression that all that is need to receive the blessing is to read or hear the words in this book.
Reading the words in Revelation or hearing them read will give you nothing, just like the rest of the word of GOD hearing them or reading them will not fully accomplish much if anything in your life.
The only way to receive the blessing from the book is the second part of the verse.
“and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near.”
That is to pay attention to; to consider, to go a little deeper, it is to take Christs words to heart, to adjust our lives in the ways that we think and live, to change them into the ways our Lord Christ Jesus has told us to live.
Removing the things that are not of Christ and to follow Him and His teachings.
Is this your desire?
i know it is mine, even though i have tough days at times and get caught up in work.
And then have to pull back and remember who i am actually working for, who it is that actually supplies all my needs.
And that is Father God and my Lord Christ Jesus.
The new church that is being formed out in the world believes and teaches that all will go to heaven when death over takes them no mater how they live, they teach that doing a good deed will save them, that calling them self by the name Christian is good enough.
But that is not the truth,
sadly many have been and are being deceived and drawn away from the truth that Jesus has spoken to us, the church.
Such as
Matthew 4:4
“It is written, ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.”
Matthew 4:7
“On the other hand, it is written, ‘YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.”
Matthew 4:10
“For it is written, ‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.”
Yes these were the words Jesus spoke to Satan but apply to us and are lives just as much.
God the Father spoke these words in
Deuteronomy6:13-17
“You shall fear only the LORD your God; and you shall worship Him and swear by His name.
You shall not follow other gods, any of the gods of the peoples who surround you, for the LORD your God in the midst of you is a jealous God;
otherwise, the anger of the LORD your God will be kindled against you, and He will wipe you off the face of the earth.
You shall not put the LORD your God to the test, as you tested Him at Massah.
You should diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and His testimonies and His statutes which He has commanded you.”
These are the words spoken by Jesus to those who are called by His name,
They are words that true believer in Christ Jesus take to heart, and daily work out in their lives, read and adjust your life accordingly if the desire of your heart is to remain in Heaven when the day of judgment arrives.
Matthew 7:13-27
¶ “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.
For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.
A Tree and Its Fruit”
( repent of your attachment to this world and the desires of this world. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you how to find and walk on the narrow path, so that you may enter in through the small gate. )
Matthew 7:15
¶ “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.
You will know them by their fruits.
Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles,
are they?
So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.
A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits.”
( good fruit is produced in the life of a Christian when he or she obeys and follows the teachings the commandments of GOD. God the Father, God the Son.
Do you truly desire to spend eternity with Christ Jesus in the presents of Father God?
Then ask, ask the Holy Spirit whom Christ Jesus has asked Father God to send to dwell in you to teach you, ask Him to teach you how to produce good fruit. )
Matthew 7:21
¶ “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’
And then I will declare to them,
‘I never knew you;
DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.”
( these words of our Lord Jesus are very clear if you do not repent and follow the teaching of Father God in the old testament and are taught to us by our Lord and savior Christ Jesus throughout the new testament, and keep alive and in the forefront of our hearts, minds, and soil by the Holy Spirit as we ask Him to and allow Him to.
For not all who call Christ Jesus lord will enter in to the kingdom of heaven, but rather do to their attachment to this world, the ways and things of this world they will say Lord Lord but in return will hear the most fearful word any one will ever hear:
“I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.”
Proving that the new church that is forming in this world is wrong, not everyone will go to live in heaven, only those who find the narrow path and enter throw the small gate will enter in, all others will spend eternity in the lake of fire, in hell its self.
Because of their choice to take the broad path in life that leads to the wide gate that leads to their destruction, there are many who have and even today are living a life that is leading them to entering through it. )
Matthew 7:24
¶ “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.
Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall."
( question is will you be wise?
Will you repent of your sinful life, a life that does not embrace the teachings the commandments of the Lord GOD,
Or is your life so caught up in this world and its ways that you can’t pull away?
In John Jesus speaks these words.
John 14:15
“If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.”
If you love Me,,,, you will,,,, keep My commandments.
Matthew 22:36-39
Jesus was aske:
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”
And He said to him,
“YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.
This is the great and foremost commandment.
The second is like it,
‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’”
Thank about the choices you make.
Are they for heaven or for hell.
Not everyone who claims to be a Christian will enter in to spend eternity in the presents of GOD.
Will you?

Do you live a life of gratitude for what our Lord Christ Jesus has done for you?
or
is calling yourself a Christian just a status statement that when persecution and threats upon your life come you will deny Him and His love?
Are you grateful for His plan of redemption and salvation for your soul?
Or
Are you so tangled up in your own desires that you don’t have the time to seek Him out, that you don’t have the time to spend in His word, that you don’t have the time to even show a little gratitude?
So self-centered and self-indulged, so self-consumed that your time is spent more on you and what you want, more attention for yourself, more power, more wealth more and more of the lust of the flesh?
If you are not willing to humble yourself before the Lord your GOD, repent of your sins, turn from your sins and turn to the Lord Jesus, relies the consequences.
They are true, they are just.
Our Lord Jesus, was beaten beyond recognition, hung on a cross, He was sacrificed for you. And three days later came back to life victorious over death, so that you might live with Him forever in Heaven, rather than an eternity in hell, separated from Him and His love.
For what He (Christ Jesus) has done for you, why can’t you show Him the respect and gratitude He so deserves.
When persecution comes to you because you call yourself a Christian, will you have so embraced Christ Jesus that you will stand firm in Him?
Or
Has it all just been a game, and you deny Him and walk away thinking you have saved your life?
Know where you came from and where you are going, know the end results of the choices you make today, they are either for heaven or hell.
[ Matthw 7:21-27 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.
Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’
And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you;
DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’
Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
And the rain fell,
and the floods came,
and the winds blew
and slammed against that house;
and yet it did not fall,
for it had been founded on the rock.
Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.” ]
Will you choose wisely or foolishly?
Will you build your future on the Lord Christ Jesus?
Or
Will you build your future on your own beliefs and understanding, on worldly understandings.
The rock of our foundation is to be Christ and Christ alone.
Think about your life and what you are really doing.
For you and you alone are responsible for your thoughts and actions.
This is not met to judge you nor to condemn you but rather to get you to think, and comprehend what the results of your actions and choices in life you make today will make on your eternal life once your body dies.
“He who has an ear, let him hear”

Questions for the day:
Have you ever done something over and above the normal for someone?
Have you ever loved someone with all your heart?
Have you ever given to someone your total dedication no matter the cost to you?
A lot of us can look back at a situation where we loved someone and spent hours a day thinking of them, and desiring to spend time with them.
Having a heart that is desirous of that love being reseparated over time.
Remember those fillings?
In a friendship?
In a boyfriend, a girlfriend relationship?
In an engagement?
In a mirage?
Remember the devastation when that person you have had so much love for walked away?
Told you they didn’t want to see you or spend time with you anymore?
Didn’t love you?
All devastating, that level of devastation can change your attitude and your felling’s for years to come.
Day 8 of a few.
Knowing the heart of God the Father, God the son, and the Spirit of GOD
We are told several times in the word of GOD that our God is a jealous GOD.
Jealous in the fact that He loves us more then we can know, and desires for us to love Him back in the same way.
Father God loves you so much that He sent His own Son to be sacrificed on a cross to cover the price of our sins.
Some now days define God’s jealousy as being demanding,
if God was demanding of us why then did He give us a will to do as we wish?
Frome what i have come to understand is God’s jealousy is a purer jealousy, a jealousy of desire for our love, for us to have that same desire toward Him.
That our number one desire would be to spend time with Him, that we would jealously seek after Him.
We are told in Exodus 20:3
“You shall have no other gods before Me.”
Exo 20:4-6
“You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing lovingkindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.”
John 14:15 Jesus tells us
“If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.”
GOD is jealously seeking after us, desiring our hearts to be jealously seeking after Him.
For us to love Him with our heart mind and soul, seeking to spend our days with Him, to be in His presence.
Somewhat as in the relationship we as humans have desires to spend time with the ones here on earth, whom we are jealous after.
That strong burning desires that we want no need to spend every moment we can with that other person.
Or that driving desire, that we can’t wait to take part in some event.
We as mankind have found so many different things to strive after, to invest our time and efforts in to rather than to spend our time with our GOD.
Think about the pain you feel when you are rejected by one who you have strong desires for. Is it devastating when you are rejected?
Then think about this:
GOD’s desirer for you is 1,000 times stronger for you, than your desires are for things of this earth, whether for mankind or for things created by mankind.
Don’t you think it may pring pain to the heart of GOD when you would rather spend time with the world rather than with Him?
Do you like it when the one you love doesn’t want to spend time with you?
Does it bring you comfort when the one you love doesn’t want to hear you?
God’s desire is for you, but He will not break your will, if you so desire to not seek Him, to not love Him with all or heart, mind and soul, even thou it saddens His heart, He will let you stray away from His love.
Think about it:
Is your desire to spend time with the Lord your God?
Or with the things of this world?
The choice is yours,
If your choice is the things of this world, don’t blame the Lord your God when thing go bad for you.
And don’t be amazed when you stand before Him and you hear these worlds
“Depart from me for I never knew you”
Want to know Him?
Then set your jealous desiers after Him,
not after people or the things of this world,
spend your time with Him,
in His word and in communication with Him,
seek His Kingdom, seek His face, seek to keep His commandments.
Instead of working so heard to have a worldly relationship;
desire and work on having a strong deep jealous relationship with the Lord your God.
Work on being as jealous after Him, just as His is after you.
Tuesday, June 25, 2024, 09:34
First questions of the day:
Do you have days you don’t feel like spending time with the Lord?
Do you have times that it just seems to take too long to read your bible?
Do you ever fell the sermon or teachings you are listening to will never end?
Does your mood about the word of the Lord sway like the leaves on a tree in a wind storm?
Do you have a lacking conviction or enthusiasm when it comes to your daily walk with the Lord?
Day 7 of a few.
More; going over what the Lord had, has to say about us (the church) in Revelation 2 and 3
Revelation 3:15-22
“I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot.
So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.
Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked,
I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.
Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline;
therefore, be zealous and repent. Behold,
I stand at the door and knock;
if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.
He who overcomes,
I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches”
{{ Jesus said:
“I wish that you were cold or hot.
So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold,
I will spit you out of My mouth.”
Those who think they are rich, who think they are wealthy, think they have need of nothing from the Lord.
Their riches and wealth have blinded them to the truth,
The truth is that they are wretched, miserable and poor, and have been left blind and naked, and are not even aware of it.
Blinded by their own self-worth and lusts.
The Lord gives those in that condition the opportunity to get right with Him. He speaks if gold refined by fire, white garments and eye salve;
Reading and knowing His word, is to know Him and His Father, and to learn to know who you are in Him,
so that you may truly become rich, and be clothed in white garments so that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed;
if with an honest heart you go to the word of GOD seeking His righteousness, seeking His Kingdome, seeking his face;
you will receive His refined gold, white garments and salve for your eyes.
The gold is found in is His word;
what it cost you is time and will; the will to allow the word of GOD to raise up conviction in your heart mind and soul so that you are eager to learn more and to obey the commandments of the Lord,
The white garment; you can receive by believing in and excepting Christ Jesus as your lord.
The eye salve you will receive as you take in the words of GOD, as you do so your eyes will be healed so you can see just how mush the Lord truly loves you, and just how truly wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked you have been with out Him.
By absorbing the word of GOD, and applying it to your daily life, you can know who He is, and through Him who Father God is, and who you are in Him, that will open you up to truly know that the Lord your God truly loves you.
And that can bring you to the point of
“I once was blind but now I see.” }}
3:19 “Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore, be zealous and repent.”
3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.”
3:21 “He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.”
3:22 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
{{ Remember if you believe in the Lord Jesus, you are the church.
So why not buy from the Lord refined gold, a white garment and salve for your eyes;
so that you may find and see the will of the Lord for you in Him. }}
“He who has an ear.”
Lord Jesus, give us all, each and every one the ability to see within ourselves and see lukewarmness, any lacking conviction or enthusiasm when it comes to our relationship with you.
i ask that you would kindle the spark that is left, that each of us may find the conviction to whole heartily follow You, and the enthusiasm to share You and Your gospel with the world around us.
Guard the hearts, minds and souls of those who are yours, those who have excepted you as Lord,
make each hot as hot as a white flame for you and your word.
i ask that you would open the eyes of those who think they are hot but are not. Amen and Amen
