“[The Day of the Lord] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,” 2 Peter 3:10-11 NKJV

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16 NKJV

2 Corinthians 4:8-18

 

New King James Version (NKJV)

⁸ We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; ⁹ persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— ¹⁰ always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. ¹¹ For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. ¹² So then death is working in us, but life in you.
¹³ And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,”^[a] we also believe and therefore speak, ¹⁴ knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. ¹⁵ For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

Seeing the Invisible

¹⁶ Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. ¹⁷ For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, ¹⁸ while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

He is Lord of Salvation and Lord of our lives. He is Lord of the land and the sea. He is Lord of creation before we were created. And Lord of all lords He will be forever and ever.
We will praise You our Lord and our God with every breath that we take. We will praise You Lord, this promise we make. And should eternity end, and start all over again, even then, we will continue to praise You Lord. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!!!!!

Our God is Awesome!!!

I love the Lord with my whole heart, soul and mind. He hears my every beckon call. He comes to my rescue every time. He loves me more than I will ever know. His plans for me are more than the eye has seen, more than the ear has heard or more than the mind can conceive. He is marvelous. He is wonderful. His name is above every name. At His name every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that He, Jesus Christ is LORD OF ALL!!!!!

TRUSTING GOD AND WAITING ON HIM

About to complete seven days of fasting and prayer this evening. Waiting on the Lord for direction now. About to find out how awesome He is. Told me to do this and then watch him work wonders so I'm waiting to see Him in action.

Verse of the Day

 

Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.” Psalm 119:105 NKJV

Please Free Jason Kent. We're Fasting And Praying

This is my fifth day of a 24 hr per day fast with no food or drink. I am fasting and praying to God for one thing that I've been praying for over 17 years now. But since I started my fast something keep coming up in the back of my head that I need to pray for someone else as well as myself. Someone who needs God's help probably more desperately than I do. And this morning it came to me through a program on Daystar television network. I also saw one of the main reason the Lord had me take my family fom up north to Orlando Florida.
Before I begin my discourse I wish to let the family of the victim in this matter know that my heart goes out to you all and you have my deepest sympathy.
Jason Kent has been incarcerated for over 12 1/2 years for first degree murder. He has been given a sentence which noone leaves prison except in a body bag (commonly referred to as a toe-tag sentence).
When I asked God how can my prayers help while hearing his mother say the crime was premeditated. God reminded me of an incident in my past when my nineteen year old daughter then got pregnant (while in college upstate New York) by a twenty-seven year old man from the bronx. I drove from Melville on Long Island to Metropolitan Oval in the Bronx to meet this young man face to face for the first time. A lot of thoughts went through my mind that evening. I had no idea how I was going to handle the situation. I felt like I failed to protect my famiy.
At that moment God let me know that Jason was going through the same experience on that 6 1/2 hours drive fom Panama City to Orlando that evening. The difference between he and I was, my oldest child was nineteen yrs old, and his oldest child was 6yrs old and, I prayed for God to take control of the situation that evening and Jason probably did not.
Jason may have wanted to talk to this other gentleman, his wife's ex-husband and his wife's children's father but when the thought of the aleged abuse of his family (April his wife, his 6 yr old Chelsea and her younger sister Anna, the two daughters) at the hands of this ex-husband came to the forefront of his mind, he lost control and his military training and experience kicked in to protect his family by all means necessary (instead of letting God take control).
I respectfully ask for a second chance for Jason  and consequently, Jason's immediate release from prison as this young man has learned his lesson and has paid over and over again to society from where he is. Look at the many young men he has poured into (over 500 former inmates) who left prison and has become valuable members of society and contributed positively.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, give Jason Kent a second chance, so he may go home to his mother, Carol Kent and her husband Jean Kent and he can make a positive impact in society. Please don't let a naval officer and young man with great potential waste his life away in prison because he made one mistake in an attempt to protect the innocent and helpless as he was taught to in the military. There are good men who make terible mistakes in society but when given a second chance they certainly capitalize and do much better than they were doing before their mishap. I will continue to fast and pray for Jason Kent's release. Take Michael Vick as an example of a positive turn around.

Verse of the Day

 

“For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men— as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God.” 1 Peter 2:15-16 NKJV

Jesus Showed Us!!!

Mark 10:45(NKJV)

⁴⁵ For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

John 13:17

¹⁷ If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

Philippians 2:3-5

³ Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. ⁴ Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

The Humbled and Exalted Christ

⁵ Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

Even though God created and controls the world, He did not demand that fallen humanity serve Him. Instead Jesus invited us to serve Him by modeling His lifestyle for us; He spent himself in the act of serving us. He wants us to put the interest of other people ahead of our own. He informed us that the only way to be first in His kingdom was to be last (Mark 9:35)

Jesus wants us to guard against an inflated sense of our own importance.  

³ For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith -Rom. 12:3.

For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it? -1 Cor. 4:7.

We are to live our lives with the servant attitude exemplified by Jesus Christ Himself when He stooped to wash the disciples' dusty feet (John 13:14-15).

The Humbled and Exalted Christ

⁵ Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, ⁶ who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, ⁷ but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. ⁸ And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
