Real Faith Can Cry Out!




Don't let anyone ever tell you that you are whining, complaining or failing in faith when you find yourself continually crying out to The Lord!!!

You are in good company with many great men of God! Including the one that God said was the Apple of His Eye!

Just stay close to Him and end with a declaration of His Faithfulness!!




Psalm 13

For the choir director: A psalm of David.

O Lord, how long will you forget me? Forever?
How long will you look the other way?

How long must I struggle with anguish in my soul,
with sorrow in my heart every day?
How long will my enemy have the upper hand?

Turn and answer me, O Lord my God!
Restore the sparkle to my eyes, or I will die.

Don’t let my enemies gloat, saying, “We have defeated him!”
Don’t let them rejoice at my downfall.

But I trust in your unfailing love.
I will rejoice because you have rescued me.

I will sing to the Lord
because he is good to me.

God So Loved!!! And Still Does




Isaiah 14:12-15



How you are fallen from heaven,
O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How you are cut down to the ground,
You who weakened the nations!

For you have said in your heart:
I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north;

I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High.’

Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol,
To the lowest depths of the Pit.




The very first challenge to Gods Power, Authority, Sovereignty and Love. Lucifer who was once Gods anointed Cherub somehow steps out of his place and begins to think he is the source of his own life and glorious appearance. Pride rises up and Lucifer challenges the very throne of The Almighty. Lucifer also leads others into rebellion who also suffer the same fate as he. Isn’t that what he did in The Garden, and isn’t that what he is still doing today? Lucifer, now Satan, has been pushing and prodding mankind since the beginning to follow in his footsteps of rebellion and pride.

When The Lord instructs us to worship Him and declare that He is good and His mercy endures forever, He isn’t doing that out of a sense of need for Himself. When He commanded the children of Israel to continually reverence and lift up His Name, He wasn’t doing it because He needs anything or is lacking anything in some way. We hold fast to His Word that declares that He is Good, He is Love, He is caring, He is ALIVE, because it is The Truth.

The enemy never stops trying to tell the world and even the church that God is not fair, that He doesn’t care, that He is the one that kills steals and destroys. Satan is the cause of all pain and hurt, sickness and death in the world. Fallen man in his sin, lust and steals, kills and destroys and they then ask why does God let this happen.

Of all the assignments Satan has sent out, I believe this is the chief one, to point the finger of blame at God and challenge His Throne of Grace and Love. We will combat this assignment with The Word of TRUTH, concerning our Gods Love! Praise Jesus!





Deuteronomy 7:6-9


“For you are a holy people to the LORD your God; the LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth.

The LORD did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples; but because the LORD loves you, and because He would keep the oath which He swore to your fathers, the LORD has brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

“Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments;



Isn’t is awesome to know that God chose us. After all, we are the seed of Abraham in Christ. The blessings, the covenant that God made with Abraham, He made to us through Christ Jesus! And what does verse 8 say?: but because the LORD loves you.

God made His covenant with you long before you ever took your first breath on this earth. He was faithful to keep it, from century to century, millennium to millennium and from generation to generation. He chose you, He made covenant with you, He loved you, and in the fullness of time, He redeemed you. The Love of God is not the emotion that man operates from most of the time. The Love of God is covenant, it is faithfulness, it is loyalty, it is devotion to your well being. He is Love, to deny His Love for you, would be to deny Himself. Praise be to Jesus and The Father of our LORD Jesus Christ!




John 3:14-17(Amplified)



And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert [on a pole], so must [so it is necessary that] the Son of Man be lifted up [on the cross], In order that everyone who believes in Him [who cleaves to Him, trusts Him, and relies on Him] may not perish, but have eternal life and [actually] live forever!

For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.
For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him.



If there was ever a doubt about The Love of God, it is settled right here. God so greatly LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE. What did He give? A half offering, a small gift? No, He gave all He could possibly give. God Himself became man and gave His very own life for the world. I don’t think our human minds can grasp the value of what God did for us in Jesus.

He literally could not have given anymore than what He gave. He not only gave His only begotten son, whom He greatly loved, beyond any human comprehension. He not only laid His life down in “martyrdom” like many saints have. He laid down His very essence. The eternally Holy Son became a curse, became sin, suffered spiritual death for mankind. Jesus,when He walked the earth demonstrated Gods Love for man, by healing all who were oppressed by the Devil.

Always remember there is no separating supernatural healing and deliverance and The Love of God. Every time The Lord heals and delivers through you, you are demonstrating The Love of God and showing the enemy to be a liar.

The Lord of Hosts is Able!



There is a war coming to our streets. Christian Men must understand the scripture that says "we do not battle against flesh and blood....."  in the days ahead.
My spirit is disturbed by what I see. The trickery of the enemy has set up the majority of Christian men,especially in The South, and our inner cities, to fail the coming test and trial.

Gods answer to the darkness IS NOT a Militia, not a Gang. It is not a Gun. It is not wrapping yourself in The Flag and 2 Amendment Rights!

His answer is The Church, Prayer! The Sword of The Spirit,The Armor of God, and The Word of God!!!


I say this by The Spirit of God. You man, need to fully understand this and not allow fear,pride and the flesh to cause you to be swept up in something that plays right into the enemies hand. More to come as The Lord wills.



Ephesians 6:12-13
New King James Version (NKJV)

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[a] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.



Psalm 20:6-8
New King James Version (NKJV)

Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed;
He will answer him from His holy heaven
With the saving strength of His right hand.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses;
But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
They have bowed down and fallen;
But we have risen and stand upright.



Isaiah 31:1
New King James Version (NKJV)

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help,
And rely on horses,
Who trust in chariots because they are many,
And in horsemen because they are very strong,
But who do not look to the Holy One of Israel,
Nor seek the Lord!

The Transformed Life by John R. Carter


 

One of the greatest challenges people face in today’s culture is how to connect. In a distracted, disrupted, and rapidly transforming world, how do we meaningfully engage with others, ourselves, and God? That’s why “The Transformed Life” by John Carter is so important. It’s a road map for experiencing what the Bible teaches about personal transformation. We’ll never transform our culture if our lives are not changed first, and this is an owner’s manual for biblical change.

The Lord Of Hosts!

Jesus came to DESTROY, not put up with, not live side by side with, not tolerate! But to destroy, undo, unravel,decimate the works of The Enemy!!!! And He delegated, and commissioned us to do the same with His same Power and Authority!!!


    Acts 10:37-38 New King James Version (NKJV)

37 that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.



1 John 3:8
New King James Version (NKJV)

8 He who sins(PRACTICES SIN) is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

The Puzzle






There are times in prayer that everything The Lord is showing me is like pieces of a Puzzle. This happens to me quite a few times a year. Some puzzle have less pieces and come together more quickly, some have many complex pieces and take longer.

Now naturally, I hate doing puzzles. I do not have the patience for them, and I can already see the picture on the box, so what is the point. :)

"Prayer Puzzles", terrible phrase for it, are much like natural puzzles. It takes focus, patience and trust in The Lord to keep pressing in until He brings it all together. Unlike natural puzzles though, there is no box to look at the end result.

You can see it coming together, but sometimes it is not fully what you were thinking. At times the finished product is a wonderful picture, and other times I have been praying and interceding for something that is not so wonderful.

I felt led to post this, because I am looking at one of the most powerful,complex puzzles I have had in a long time. Some parts are really good, some seem to have darkness covering them, confusion and chaos.

But, I know The Lord is working all these puzzles pieces together and creating the intended outcome for His People and His Church. Both Locally and In The NATIONS!!!


Keep Praying!!!

Keep Seeking!!

He Is Faithful  He Is Mighty!!

He Is LORD OF ALL!!
