thoughts for ponderment...

A hardened heart's moral compass lacks a true north heading and thus becomes ineffectual in defining what is good and what is evil…

A prophet of truth is not honored but ridiculed in a time of moral morass…

If truth sets us free then it must be that lies and falsehood enslave us in shackles of bondage…

When we begin to believe that truth is based upon the ever-shifting sands of enlightened human wisdom we have become prey to the trap that is lawlessness…

Life in America Today…

We want to blame everything but the root of the problem. At the root: A callous disregard for life…..which has its beginnings in our sin nature. Lust of the eye, lust of the flesh and the boastful pride of life create the tail winds that push human beings to the point where their hearts are so hardened that even life itself is disposable. Add to our natural inclination to sin the enemy's assistance in the process and it becomes a combustible mixture ready to explode. But let's just continue to blame the inanimate object instead of the animate initiator no matter what the instrument of choice might be.

Mark 7:21-23

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness. "All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man."  

How Long Shall You Profane My Name

A nation that continues to use My Name in vain no longer desires the protection of My Hand. A people who no longer seeks to honor My Name shall experience the result of their choice - a harvest of desolation.

And the Lord said I have strived with you long enough. You have insulted My Name, you have used My Name in vain, you have turned My Name into a curse word. How can I  continue to bless you and keep you under the shadow of My Wing? 

My longsuffering and My patience you have put to a severe test and you have been found lacking. Turn, turn from your pride and your arrogance.

…for those who honor Me I will honor…  (1Samuel 2:30)

Living Hope…

It really is ALL about hope...a living hope.

For where there is no hope there is no life…no joy...no peace….

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy

has caused us to be born again to a living hope

through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 

to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, 

reserved in heaven for you,

who are protected by the power of God through faith

for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

1 Peter 1:3-5 

a nation birthed...

as we celebrate the birth of our nation might we pray earnestly for rebirth....

a spiritual rebirth that awakens our nation...

Let’s Continue the Turnaround!

Rather than giving up on America, join me and thousands of others, as we appeal to heaven for a third great awakening, which could result in millions of people saved, and a resurrection of the America we love. As we celebrate our birth as a nation, let’s recommit ourselves to seeing a rebirth of truth, integrity, and our godly heritage. Don’t give up on America!

“And let us not get tired of doing what is right, for after a while we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t get discouraged and give up.” (Galatians 6:9; TLB)

Give Him 15 minutes in prayer:

As we get ready to celebrate our nation’s birthday tomorrow, let’s not forget among the celebration the great cost that was paid to birth this nation. And, let’s ask God for a rebirth of it in our day and age.
Boldly ask God that this nation would birth a third Great Awakening! We are seeing signs of revival. Press in for more outpouring—saved souls, transformed lives and eventual governmental change.
Recommit yourself to being a promoter of truth, integrity and godly heritage. It will take all of us to turn this ship around!
A prayer you can pray:

Lord, we come to You today and thank You for this great nation, the United States of America. We acknowledge that this nation was birthed from great bravery in the face of impossible odds in order that Your dream could come to pass. We want to see another wave of that dream—a third Great Awakening! We want to see souls saved and lives changed, hearts altered and a nation born again! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Today’s decree:

We will not give up on America! We will pray and act and be participants in God’s dream for our nation!

A Divided Heart?

It's all about our heart...what is the condition of your heart?

A heart that seeks after God or a heart that seeks after the world....

Let us not be a member of the fence sitters united with one foot in the world and one foot out...

May we stand with both feet on the firm foundation which is the Word of God...

For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, 

and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, 

and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

 Hebrews 4:12
