Love In This Crazy World

 “Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us” 1 John 4:11-12.

It is a crazy world we live in today when what was right is being called wrong and many are being deceived and sucked into this wrong politically correct belief system which is far from God’s word. People get ugly and mean and attack. My friend this is not of God but straight from the pit of Hell. 

When a sitting Congresswoman encourages hatred by asking her followers to attack those leaders who don’t believe as she does that is indeed the epitome of evil. What we believers need to do is not chime in with the vitriol and hate spewing forth but pray and show love. Keep in mind deceiving spirits have captivated many, some maybe in your own family, to not hear the truth. It is a battle of good versus evil, spiritual warfare, don’t be fooled. 

Psalm 35:20 says “For they do not speak peace but they devise deceitful matters against  the quiet ones in the land.” Are you able to love and pray for your enemies?  I am talking about people wanting you to trip and fall. Those crooked people who seem to get by with doing wrong. My friend now is the time for love and in a big way. Don’t let the forces of darkness keep you from praying and loving. 

PRAYER: Lord Jesus we are commanded to pray for our enemies and to love those who are against us. A tall order for sure when humanly I feel like being ugly. Calm my heart Lord and help me remember you are indeed in control. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Happy Birthday America!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17

Today this young nation turns 242 years old. This country was an experiment in liberty and freedom based on God’s word. Evil forces will always try to distort the true founding of America but we indeed are one nation under one God.

Liberty does not come without a cost. Besides the brave pioneers who journeyed here over treacherous oceans many not making the journey or succumbing to disease later, the Founding Fathers wanted a new land free from tyranny. Battles were fought, lives were lost, and a country was born. 

I am indeed on this day thankful to those brave men and women who caught the vision to risk everything for a new land free from Kings lording over them and where they could worship God. The enemy has been at work to distort the truths but rest assured Jesus is Lord and His  kingdom will stand.

PRAYER: Thank you Lord for America. This land has been so blessed primarily because we followed your word. Forgive those who got into power and distorted your words and allowed for sinful behavior to take hold. Turn evil hearts to Good and let Freedom ring. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
