Breathe, Relax, Breathe, Pray

Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. Ephesians 6:11

Our world is in chaos. A president gets elected Who is not a politician and opposition increases to destroy him. People who stand for the truth have their character shredded. Free speech other than Christian free speech is welcome Christians being called hateful. Oh my but Satan is doing a job isn’t he?  Nice people post ugly hateful things on Social media then still claim to love Jesus. What are we becoming my friend? 

We are not to be in allegiance to a skin color, political party, television station, newspaper, but are to be in allegiance to the Red, white and blue if you live here in these United States and more importantly to our savior and Lord Jesus Christ. He isn’t sitting around screaming, saying mean things, and worried about the future. He is the future.

Satan continues to lie and deceive many people. If you catch yourself getting angry or border-lining on posting ugly comments on social media step back, go get your Bible and pray. 

PRAYER: Freedom is indeed not free. We have come close a few times in being tricked into losing our freedoms. Open the eyes of every man and woman regardless of political persuasion to get on their knees and pray. I pray for those who do not love you Lord and who need you in their life to be witnessed to by someone who crosses their path. I thank you for the godly people surrounding our President with prayer daily. Help us to love and not hate. In Jesus’ name. Amen. 

Angry? Why?

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. JAMES 1:19-20

Lots of anger is going on in America now because of a man elected to Make America Great Again. The anger does not help but hurts. Riots, outbursts, vulgarity, cursing. Even reports of a shadow government trying to destroy this man and destroy our democracy.  How does a believer respond? You respond in love and don't get ugly yourself.

 I am not trying to be political but making a point about any kind of anger. Anger destroys families. Anger causes fights. Anger kills. Anger divides. Anger is a tool of the enemy Satan and does nothing to build up a believer or the cause of Christ.

Step back a moment and reflect on the goodness of God. Pray for those people who may be creating discord in this nation. We know God has a plan. If you are angry might I suggest to sit down and read the book of John and pray for a transformed heart.

PRAYER:Lord I know being angry, holding grudges, having bad feelings about someone is not your will. Lord Jesus transform the hearts and minds of those who would want to cause revolt in this great nation. Help peace reign. In Jesus' name. Amen.
