Dweller Or A Drop-In?

 


Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1

Do you dwell in the house of the Lord or simply drop in? To dwell is to remain to drop in is more of a hurried casual thing almost an afterthought of sorts. 

Do you enjoy time with the Lord on Sunday or are you looking at your watch and can’t wait till it’s over? Perhaps your relationship with the Holy One is not where it should be. 

Does the Holy Spirit bring conviction upon you that your time with the Lord is lacking and not committed at all? Do you want God to be your dwelling place?

PRAYER: I seek your face Lord and choose to run from wickedness and evil. I realize Satan will come along and lie and deceive and even try to turn the truth of God into a lie to justify sin. I pray for those I know who are stuck and don’t know how to dwell to find Jesus. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Failure Is The Door To Victory And Healing



The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. Psalm 138:8

I heard of a person who said they couldn’t serve in teaching capacity in the church as they had failed as a parent. That is such a lie from the enemy. 

God used 12 unlikely men as his disciples. They definitely had their issues. When you go through something you get stronger and God uses what has been part of your life to shape you to be effective in the kingdom. 

If people could be honest and unashamed there are many hurting Christian parents who feel like they failed because a child went astray. It is a trick and lie of Satan to keep you emotionally crippled and defeated and also to keep you from being used by kingdom of God for his purposes. 
Go forth in faith and boldness with God as your rear guard and stop living defeated over something you had no control over. 

PRAYER: I need you Lord and forgive me if I have ever given flimsy excuses or pitied myself and have been ineffective and excused myself from a leadership role in the body of Christ. God’s story is far from over and I lay any inadequacies at the foot of the cross. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Are You Engaged?



Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.Philippians 4:5

No I don’t mean are you engaged to be married to that special person in your life but are you engaged with people around you. I thought of that on Sunday upon the close of our weekly worship service. 

Are you waiting for people to talk to you or do you go up to them? Often times a person alone comes into a church and no one talks to them. You can get in your Holy huddle missing those  around you who need a smile so introduce yourself. 

Many churches often have a time to greet those seated near you with a high five or fist bump or now that Covid is going away a handshake.It only takes a moment to say hello and it could mean the difference in if the person decides to return.If you don’t have a church home there are many fine, friendly, Bible teaching, life giving churches in every state in our beautiful country. And don’t hesitate to invite a friend or neighbor or even a stranger in line at a store. 

PRAYER: I am grateful for your love for me Lord and help me show that love to those I come into contact with daily. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Hitting Rock Bottom



The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. Proverbs 24:16

What does it take for some to completely 100% embrace grace, forgiveness, redemption, and healing? The devil is at work overtime lying and deceiving people, some who were getting set free. The enemy sticks his foot out and trips them. 

This is warfare full out assault. When a person turns their backs on friends and family who were speaking truth and trying to help it is demonic warfare. A simple visit to a wrong friend posing as a right friend is all Satan needs to make a person who was falling continue to fall. 

Good news is the story is far from over. Whatever the issue is God hears the prayers of moms, friends, dads, prayer groups, and sometimes when God has a plan to really use the person to help thousands get set free from whatever is dragging them down the enemy works even harder to cause arguments and belittling of family and friends who were on the broken persons side. If this is describing a situation in your life or someone you know, keep fighting and knowing Satan will not be victorious and your loved one will be hearing the truth again. 

PRAYER: My heart aches when I hear of stories or even if it is my story of people who are misled and therefore mislead others sometimes claiming to have great Bible knowledge. Satan is attacking and I claim the blood of Jesus over all family members or any friends being deceived. Set them free. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Just Keep Praying

 


Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Are you carrying a heavy burden sometimes too painful to want to share with others or perhaps the enemy has convinced you to keep it a secret. Don’t do that friend, you need prayer support!

Never ever give up on the issue or person you are crying out for. Maybe things seemed to be improving and it flip flopped. Satan loves to drag people back into the muck and convince them that is the place to grow and have friends.

 The truth is, the word of God is alive and if you follow it and continue in war against the enemy, you will have victory and see your friend or family members rescued once and for all. Press in and stay the course and don’t listen to the lies of the enemy. 

PRAYER: Father I know the battle for souls is constant so I choose to not listen to taunts of Satan and the lies telling me nothing will ever change. I am pressing forward with your help to squelch the lies of the enemy. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Prying Into Another’s Business Can Wreak Havoc



But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.1 Peter 4:15-16

Have you ever been caught up in a conversation which ends really as a gossip chain because every person is speculating and no one really knows all the facts. I confess I have and it leaves me uneasy, ashamed, and sad at myself for not be slow to act and slow to speak. 

As the Navy says “Loose Lips Sink Ships” and it can even happen in church or prayer chains. Don’t speculate. Don’t allow the enemy to create division in the body. Keep your nose in your own business. 

If you are with others and they start speculating and getting gossipy don’t enter into the conversation. Maybe even take the action of saying “Gotta go now” and get away from the temptation of this horrible habit when no one really knows. Make sure to keep prayers confidential if someone asked you to as well. Just saying, 

PRAYER: Father I left my hands to you in praise and adoration. Thank you for being there for me in prayer. Keep me from judging or gossip and help me to love others as you would. In Jesus’ name. Amen .

The Message Failed To Send

 

“The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them. The LORD preserves all who love Him, but all the wicked He will destroy. Psalm 145:18-20

 

Most of you who use cell phones or computers have probably faced text messages and emails not going through with the error message ‘The message failed to send’ and in some cases it saves you from spur of the moment embarrassment.

Did you know that when you talk to God in prayer it goes  through the wonderful cyberspace of open communication with the Almighty.  Now anyone can pray it does not take some training on a new language or changing your voice or saying Thee or Thou. Simply talk to him. 

Ask God if there is anything in your life that displeases him. Also pray for friends or family that are far from God whether they know it or not. Get real with Him.  Now go share your heart with God. 

PRAYER: Father I need you. There was a time that I thought I could do things on my own or my own way. Forgive me. Help those I know who have religion but not a personal relationship with you. Guard my heart and mind so I don’t fall into sin. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Being Misunderstood



I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Ephesians 4:1-3

Sometimes I try too hard to be liked or make peace that is just my nature. Maybe it is a middle child thing. I don’t want others to not like me so stupid Facebook does a number on me. I choose to post my devotion on it and then move on. 

Have you ever been misunderstood by a dear friend or family member because of the breakdown of non verbal texting communication which has left many relationships in the therapy pile? The rule should be just don’t say anything that comes into your head and why say anything. 

If a relationship is in ruins because of a misunderstanding,  go in person and mend it before further breakdown. Above all pray. Let God handle your overburdened sad heart. 

PRAYER: I thank you for the gift of friends and sometimes talking too much, speculating, being in their face too much can create a division in a friendship. Things take time and an understanding has to be reached and forgiveness obtained. God is my best friend who always understands and wants me around even when I mess things up. Help me roll with the punches and learn the art of stillness. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Communication….Very Vital



Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath. 
James 1:19

On a flight recently the lady in the seat next to me said “Habla Espanol” and unfortunately even though I took Spanish in college I can’t speak but a few words. The day this occurred ironically the Lenten devotion I read was about communicating. 

Today my son and his lovely bride are celebrating 10 years of Holy matrimony aka marriage. Communication is one of the pillars of a good marriage relationship. It is give and take, understanding, learning when not to speak, and being kind and putting the other person first. 

How are your communication skills? Do they need some work? God wants you to be kind, loving, and also still. Why not work on that today? 

PRAYER: My heart breaks for those whose communication led to fights and divorce. Also for those estranged from family members who have refused to forgive and thus begin healing. Help me Lord to make this verse the center of my married life and elsewhere. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Dedicated to Jon and Amber Miller.

#ButGod

 But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and the livestock that were with him in the ark, and he sent a wind over the earth, and the waters receded. Genesis 8:1

 The news media and their counterparts, the US Government majority party, are super experts in stoking flames of fear and hatred by twisting stories to attempt to get a desired outcome. Don’t fall ‘prey’ to their tactics but  instead ‘pray’ and put down the remote and the paper. 

Get into the Word instead of stockpiling food and building a bunker. Trust God because He has a plan even amidst the chaos and seeming doomsday.  


It is Satan who is wanting you fretting, fearing, and freaking out. Instead be bold in your faith and show him who is boss. 

PRAYER: I love you Lord. I love freedom. I choose to stand strong, stay in the word and attempt to point people to Jesus. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Are You Wise?


If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.James 1:5

When you think of the word ‘wise’ you might think of the ‘wise old owl’ or the ‘wisdom of your elders’ but the entire book of Proverbs in the Old Testament is full of wisdom all 31 chapters. 

Why should you wait until you are old to gain wisdom? Sure your lessons can be passed on to younger family members but even in your youth or middle age or yes even little children can be taught wisdom. 

Thinking before you act is a wise decision. Watching what you say. 
Take some time today and read the Book of Proverbs. You will be wiser for it. 

PRAYER: Your love Lord never ceases and it is your desire that I gain wisdom throughout my life. Forgive for those times I have been a blundering fool. Guide my steps. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Happy Father’s Day!



"Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father?" - Hebrews 12:7 NIV


A shout out to all dads out there this beautiful day. Mothers seem to get all the praise but dads are vitally needed. The dad is like glue that holds families together. Also the dad is called to be the spiritual leader. 

Notice in society in general broken homes where when father figure is not around things get pretty messed up. A gentleman in the black community started a movement called Black Father’s Lives MATTER meaning in black communities where father is absent all sorts of bad stuff happens. 

God never intended man to be alone so he created woman as his helpmate. Our secular world in advertising and tv shows has subtly tried to make men look like idiots and weak. If Satan can destroy family structure and minimize the man half his battle won. Satan works through ‘pride’ month destroying families as well. Pride comes before a fall.

 Today, if your dad is living celebrate and honor him.  If he hurt you try to forgive. If you’re a dad who hurt others seek redemption. God is the God of restoration. 

PRAYER: Lord I am grateful for my dad. I know of many people whose dad was absent or hurt them and it kind of shaped their life. Help anyone dealing with father wounds learn to give it to you. Help those fathers I know be strong in the Lord and shape their children to know you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Got Your Shield Up?

 Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints. Ephesians 6:1


All followers of Jesus know we are in a battle of good versus evil right versus wrong and especially this month when forces of darkness have hijacked God’s rainbow for their purposes to tout being prideful which is clear in the Bible it is a sin. Demonic forces blind the eyes of many people making them exchange the truth of God for a lie and only the Holy Spirit can wake them up and set them free. Also when you speak up it is interpreted as hate speech. 

No matter what,  you must keep the armor of God on and  don’t lose hope as that is exactly what Satan wants. He is trying to get our children and grandchildren through lies and is trying so hard to destroy this once Christ centered nation. This is a full out battle with Satan. 

So man your battle stations. The word of God is your chief weapon to know truth and you have to be on your knees in warfare prayer not just the meek kind of prayer. Be a roaring lion and put Satan in his place. Stand firm the battle is far from over. 

PRAYER:Let the words of my mouth and meditation of my heart be pleasing to you Lord. Keep me armed and ready and I pray for those I know being manipulated and deceived to know the truth. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

At 36000 Feet

 


And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. Isaiah 6:3

As I fly at 36000 feet altitude on a recent trip gazing out the airplane window at the tiny towns and farms below I am awestruck with God’s creation. 

Instead of focusing on problems or issues of the day or tragedies on the news I think of the mighty power of my Savior who created all that I am looking down upon. The Heavens are His, the Earth is His. image0.jpeg
God is a great big God. Nothing is too difficult for Him. Nothing! Whatever is troubling you stop what you are doing and just meditate on the goodness of God. 

PRAYER: Oh Lord so many people are lost, hurt, confused, and led astray by our enemy the prince of darkness. Set the minds of those people caught up in lies free and help bring them peace. In Jesus’ name. Amen. image1.jpeg

America’s Godly Heritage

 



Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people He has chosen as His inheritance. Psalm 33:12

Do you know the meaning of flag day or is it just a cool way to show you’re a patriot? 

On this day in 1777 the US flag was adopted by the Second Continental Congress but this date was made official in 1916 by President Woodrow Wilson. 

This nation was founded on religious freedom as we all know but the foundations have been crumbling throughout the years as this is what Satan would want. We are indeed one nation under God conceived in freedom with liberty and justice for all. 

PRAYER: Father thank you for the United States and it’s flag which stands for freedom. I ask that you touch the hearts of those who are trying to destroy our foundations. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Love One Another



“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.“John 13:34

Love is a major theme throughout scripture. The word is pretty simple. Love. 

Our enemy Satan has taken the word and made it a force for those pushing their sexual agenda contrary to God’s teachings. You don’t fight you simply pray. Many are confused and the enemy has taken them captive by extreme deception. 

Satan has hijacked so many things to push perversion on our world. Like a frog in a pot of cold water on a stove where the heat is slowly increased to eventually cook the frog sin is the same way. Things sound good but not right in God’s eyes. If you have a loved one who is being deceived simply go to your knees and talk to God. 

PRAYER: Lord our world is being ruled by the prince of the power of darkness who likes to trick and lie. I pray for those who are being tricked to encounter the Holy Spirit to discover what love really is. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

No one Better Than The Other

 







Dear children, keep yourselves from idols.1 John 5:21

For whatever reason western society is caught up with fame. You see a famous person and go gaga. Why?

Everyone is the same in God’s eyes no VIP seating section or red carpet. I fight it to a certain extent but working on it. Don’t put famous people above God idolizing them. Or anything for that matter maybe sports viewing or select something. 

When you do get recognized for something and become a celebrity of sorts in your own little world be sure to give the glory to God for the gifts He gave you to do what you do. The humble will be exalted. 

PRAYER: Lord help me not gaze at the electronic box of idolatry be it a TV, computer screen or something else where it’s images try to captivate me and lure me into putting other things before Christ. Give me self control. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Here We Go Again….Are You Ready?

 


- "Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself." 
(Philippians 2:3) 

In writing my devotion this is the third attempt to not lose it in the black hole of cyber space. My intent was writing on humility and bringing glory to God when poof, it disappeared. 

Anyway the point of this devotion is to seek to not be all about self and getting glory from humans but seek to glorify God in all you say and do. This includes social media posts or when you get noticed for an achievement. Are you private or do you like others to know?

God sees and knows all. Think about that. Nothing is hidden from Him. No matter what He loves you. When you get noticed for achievements make sure to give glory to God as it is He who blessed you with talents and abilities. Don’t be something you are not. Stay still, be humble, and stay on your knees giving glory to glory to God alone. 

PRAYER: I do love you Lord and I want to not gloat when I am honored by the world. I also want to insure that I stay humble and don’t do things to dishonor you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Are You Without A Shepherd?

 



“When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.”‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9:36‬ ‭

 

Here in Idaho where I live there are actually sheep and sheep herders. In Arizona when I lived there I also witnessed sheep herders. Sheep are not the brightest animals and need to be guided to where they are going.

 

Humans are similar in that if you don’t follow the Shepherd, Jesus, you too could fall into the ditches of life or get entangled by the barbed wire called sin.

 

Jesus spoke in parables to make it easy to understand the points he was trying to relay to the crowds who listened to him teach. Today we listen to his teaching through the active alive Word of God. Pick it up and read it. Ask God to reveal what he wants you to know. Don’t allow Satan to keep you away from learning truth and having power to defeat the enemy.

 

PRAYER: Father thank you for guiding me back into the fold when I wander off course. Help me stay focused on truth and block out any distractions such as ‘religion’ which would seek to hinder my following you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

God Is Faithful



But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:3 NIV Bible Gateway

Sometimes the answers to prayer are immediate and sometimes gradual and then at times a waiting game. 

Depending on your personality type, birth order or a host of other little factors, determines how you deal with delays. Often times God and the Holy Spirit are at work in you too, not just the person you are covering in earnest heartfelt prayer. PBPWMGINFY means Please Be Patient With Me God Is Not Finished Yet. 

Who or what are you prayers for today? Does it seem impossible? You know God specializes in miracles and ‘ah ha‘ moments and all the glory and praise will go to Him. Be still and trust him. 

PRAYER: Forever oh Lord your word is sealed in Heaven. Help me not be so busy or pre occupied that I can’t hear your voice in the aftermath of praying. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The Stop It ________List

 



Don’t Hide Your Bad Habits. He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.Proverbs 28:13

 

My title is blank for you to add your name in and then attempt with Holy Spirits’ direction to make a list of things you need to stop doing and also ways to improve.

 

God will help you transform your bad habits or traits into one’s that glorify God more. If you deep down know you have issues with say interrupting people, causing division, etc now is the time to get a handle on it and bring your life in alignment with God.

 

This is one of those come to Jesus’ moments where you have to really have time alone and ponder for awhile. A spouse might help you if you can resist getting defensive. Just go and think about what you can do to be more like Jesus’ and what habits to change.

 

PRAYER: Oh Lord you are my help today and always. Forgive me for behavior patterns that push people away instead of attracting them to you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Tickled Ears

 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but having itching ears, they shall heap to themselves teachers in accordance with their own lusts. 2 Timothy 4:3


Who is ‘they’? You hear people say‘they say’ and just who is the ‘they’? 

The ‘they’ in this case is all of us who maybe are ‘asleep at the wheel’ so to speak and are doing your own thing with no thought of death and Heaven. 

People find what makes them feel good and makes them feel they are not that bad and surely upon their death Heaven awaits as “hey I am a good person”. Do you realize that you are waging a war between God and the devil? It is Satan who lures you into the trap of feeling your way is just fine. Wake up now and seek the face of Jesus’ nothing more. Remember this world is not really your home. 

PRAYER: Father I love you and I love to worship you in spirit and in truth. Forgive me when I let the ‘world’ squeeze you out of my day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Strict Training

 






Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.1 Corinthians 9:25 NIV Bible gateway

Did you know that for  a believer Church is like your gym. I heard this on You tube by Pastor Hughes of Church by the Glades recently. You go there and train but still do more when you get home. You pursue a godly lifestyle. 

 

When an athlete says they need to work out they better go to their gym or they will become out of shape in no time flat. Similarly as a believer if you simply go to church but then don’t apply and out and practice the truth you learn you get spiritually flabby. 

Many confusing voices are in our world today saying what is wrong is right and what is right is wrong. Some twist scripture to justify not wanting to do the hard work of fleeing sin. Others sugar coat things as not that bad. The Holy Spirit brings truth and conviction of sin. Invite Him into your heart today. 

PRAYER: Help me Lord stay on track and recognize wrong voices and those who mean well but spread things God did not really say. Help those I know who need a revival in their life encounter you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

What Do You Need To Run From?

 






Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” 2 Timothy 2:22 

What temptations do you face? Porn addiction, drugs, alcohol, sexual promiscuity,  Facebook posting,
Instagram addictive behavior, too much screen time, lusting after someone, reading violent or trashy novels. Many things can captivate you and lure you away from the one thing that can set you free, Jesus. 

In Hebrews 4:15 it says “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin” Yes Jesus was tempted but never gave in. 

Instead of every night being glued to Netflix or Prime or whatever, do something different. Talk, work puzzles, walk if you live in town, read your Bible. Take up a new hobby. Or just sit on your porch and relax. 

PRAYER: It is too easy to get caught up in bad stuff so sometimes you walk away or just say no. Wrong friends can land you in bad places. Help me Lord keep looking to the cross. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Believe Receive, Doubt Do Without



As it is written: “I have made you a father of many nations.” He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls into being things that were not.Romans 4:17 NIV Bible Gateway

Are you waiting for a breakthrough in some area or maybe it occurred but then Satan stuck his foot in the door? . 

First of all you prayed and you are not the Holy Spirit. Answers will come and changes will occur but perhaps the work is being done on you as well ever think of that. 

Give control back to God and let it go. If you say you believe and trust God then do it. 

PRAYER: Father forgive me when I get stressed and can’t let you have my concerns and trust you are working. I know you are. Prayers for others struggling in this area to let go and Let God!In Jesus’ name. Amen.

God Is Doing Something…Stay Hopeful



“And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.” 2 Kings 6:16

It doesn’t take long to get down in the dumps when your focus is on world issues. I simply do not saturate myself with media who many times feed what they want us to hear. 

The enemy is definitely at work today bringing confusion, heartache, lies, deception, dividing families and friends, and trying to get you to succumb to the things he brings to torment you. 

You can fall for it and stay fearful and miserable or you can choose the joy of the Lord. Joy and happiness are different. Happy is more about self but joy is an inner sense of calm brought by God. Knowing the Lord Jesus Christ brings joy unspeakable and full of glory. Keep looking up! 

PRAYER: This is your day Lord and I rejoice in it. I know you will bring peace in the midst of chaos and fear. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Crippled Thinking A Big No No

 


And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2

 

When a person is crippled they are most times unable to walk. I read a devotion recently referring to crippled thinking.Ponder that for a moment. 

If you thoughts and mind are not receiving truth found from the Holy Scriptures daily and are listening to a host of other non stop input it would be easy to wind up in the urgent care for bad thoughts meaning arguing, depression, fear, rebounding into a sinful lifestyles. 

The idea is many people, you included, may think their  life is okay and it is impossible to find time to sit and be still and read God’s word which is our daily medicine or your defibrillator of sorts. Many are loyal to a denomination but not to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. To keep your mind healthy and not on life support get a good dose of the Bible each day without fail. If you don’t many other voices and lies of the enemy will vie for your attention. 

PRAYER: I am thankful I live in a country that is currently still mostly free and help me not to put off a daily quiet time. Help those people who have started neglecting their spiritual workout and have listened to voices of the enemy. Get them back on track. Bring Holy Spirit conviction.In Jesus’ name. Amen.
