Lord Jesus, we pray for our nation and the world today.

Expand full comment

May the Lord stop every attempt at evil. May He cause every voting system to work correctly in spite of tampering. May He quell any violence or other upheaval by silencing and disarming those so inclined. May He pour out His Spirit on our nation to cleanse and transform for the glory of His mighty name. And may we walk in His peace that passes understanding, in His love that heals wounded hearts and points lost souls to Him, and in His power that enables us to influence our neighbors and our nation for His kingdom. In Jesus’ name.

Amen! And seeing all of these believers assembled here reminds me of yesterday evening when at the 6:00 hour, millions of believers joined in prayer for our nation. It was an honor and privilege to be a part of that massive gathering whose voices were lifted to heaven. The Church on earth prayed and God heard our prayers.

And again I say Amen!

Yes! From 6 to 6:05, I prayed fervently and knew that my soul was united in prayer with millions of believers.

"And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and much incense was given to him, so that he might add it to the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense went up with the prayers of the saints, out of the angel’s hand, before God. Then the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it to the earth; and there followed peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an earthquake." - Revelation 8:3-5 LSB

I don't like that 'fire and throwing and thunder and earthquakes at all'. But if it comes from the Ring being destroyed in Mount Doom, and Sauron's tower of Barad Dur being thrown down, and he being turned into a shadowy cloud and blown away on the winds, and all his orcs go mad and kill themselves: well then I could go along with that. I'll wait and see.

God bless America, land that I love,

Stand beside her and guide her

Through the night with a light from above.

From the mountains, to the prairies,

To the oceans white with foam,

God bless America,

My home sweet home.

Funny true story. A week or so ago we were at a family birthday party for a ten year old. After dinner we were set to cut the cake. After a rousing round of Happy Birthday someone broke out in song God Bless America. Everyone at the party joined in the song. Afterward someone said a new tradition has been added we’re going to sing that at every birthday celebration. ❀️

My grandson was recently playing a district soccer game. When the national anthem was played, the announcer asked everyone to join in. One young girl started singing and halfway through, I decided not to let her sing alone and robustly joined in. Immediately many around us began to loudly finish the anthem. Patriotism is contagious.

I like to think it's the Holy Spirit flooding you with God's LOVE!!

Heck. I still cry at the Anthem at football games. Something about 60,000 Americans, in one place, still respecting our country that gets to me. Trump's best statement of the campaign, "We don't have to live like this." I hate what the Progressives have done to my country. We don't have to put up with this crap.

About 25 years ago, I was at a Shirley Jones concert in Milwaukee. For the last song of the evening, she sang America The Beautiful. She and her orchestra performed a beautiful rendition. When she was done, there wasn't a dry eye in the entire audience of thousands.

I have been humbly praying throughout yesterday, the night. and this morning.

Praying for God's mercy on this country founded on Him. Satan, through his spiritually clueless and deluded disciples, is jealous and wants this country for himself.

We still have so many people of faith in our country, and we are fighting this battle through the one weapon, the strongest weapon which THEY don't have: prayer.

Keep praying, dear friends. πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

Yahweh is righteous in all His ways

And holy in all His works.

Yahweh is near to all who call upon Him,

To all who call upon Him in truth.

He will work out the desire of those who fear Him;

He will hear their cry for help and He will save them.

Yahweh keeps all who love Him,

But all the wicked He will destroy.

That's blasphemy, Todd, but we still have first amendment freedom of speech here, so blaspheme away.

Expand full comment

At your own peril, Todd!

Expand full comment

Todd is fulfilling prophecy. "Scoffers will come in the last days." We can only pray that he and his ilk be given eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts to obey.

Todd's gnosticism is as old as the garden. The gnostic believes that the serpent (or brazen one) in the garden was doing mankind a favor. This is the lie: ". . . you will be like God." We can only pray that he and his ilk be given eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts to obey.

The easiest refutation of this was best said by Paul in 1 Corinthians 2:2: "For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified." This is the solution for sin and man's sinful nature. God gave His Son not only for forgiveness, but also for mankind to have liberty from the slavery to our flesh.

And this is my testimony: I had once been subject to proclivities of the flesh, that the best and brightest unbelievers would say could not be overcome. These would say that I was simply wired that way, and there was no solution beyond imprisonment or ultimately death. And yet, here I am, delivered from these things. I need only say "Your will, and not mine be done" and remember the words of John 3:16:

β€œFor God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”

Atonement Theology is still...STILL...my stumbling block with Jesus. I'm studying and praying about it. Currently reading one of the great Christian apologists, G.K. Chesterton's The Everlasting Man.

Expand full comment

What is so difficult to comprehend about the situation where the One perfect and innocent One took upon Himself the debt owed by YOU (and me and the rest of us) for your own crimes and arranged for Himself to be sentenced to death as the payment for YOUR (and mine and everyone else's) sentence instead of YOU paying that price?

The debt/punishment was owed and has been. YOU could not pay it, So Jesus stepped up to the plate and took the hit for YOU. Now YOUR debt is paid.. IF you can acknowledge that Jesus has indeed paid YOUR debt. Unless you think you are perfect, never once in all your born days did anything the slightest bit wrong, evil, unfair, unkind, selfish, hurtful to another.....

This would be one of those "don't cast pearls before swine" but I guess even Nebuchadnezzar was humbled as was Manasseh who was one of the worst kings in Israel. And let's not forget Paul who persecuted Christians to their death until he met Christ on the road to Damascus.

Well said Anne... First Amendment, free speech (including offensive and hateful remarks) and its connection to that incredible gift of God, our free will... reminds me of this wisdom:

β€œThere are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. To those who knock it is opened.”

β€œThe god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭4‬ ‭(NIV‬‬) I too, was once blind, but now I see! So we must never stop praying for the lost, but we don’t have to let them make us miserable. Or tolerate their insults. Todd included.

I knew satan would show up today. The idiot who challenged his creator is NOT very……well…..creative. Or intelligent. Actually comes off rather toddler-like.

It’s actually very encouraging to see these two β€˜entities’ exposing how stupid they actually are. Comical, really. Always trying to use fear and intimidation to make us worry and fret, then when they show up? They got nothing. They’re just…….little, impotent slugs. I can’t stop smiling, that they are exposing themselves so blatantly.

Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 tell of the fate of the adversary. It's beyond unpleasant.

We can only pray that many will be given eyes to see, ears to hear, and hearts to obey, in God's mercy for those who would worship Him in Spirit and in Truth.

Otherwise:

"He who sits in the heavens laughs;

Agree completely regarding free speech - everyone should get to say and think what they want to think. I just find people who come here and do the equivalent of showing up in someone's home and insulting the host a strange flex. But, sure, have at it, Todd. It says more about you than it does us.

Just keep at believing what you cannot prove and I'll continue to believe what hundreds of historical hidden documents do prove, we have been LIED to about our true history. Read up on the truth of the bible, find a copy of Mauro Biglino's THE NAKED BIBLE or his other work GODS OF THE BIBLE. You will definitely see for yourself how the sheep have been misled.
