We mustn't give authority to man. In this recent election emotions are running high with elation or defeat depending on who one voted for. But the truth is our leader is Jesus Christ and He has authority over all. We are to pray for our government and ask the Lord to guide them and grant them wisdom to make the right decisions but we do not look to them for our needs. The Lord is who we are to turn to. This is His land, His country and He has dominion over all. Trust in His choice this election season and lean not on your own understanding. 

"Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment." Romans 13:2

Tuesday, November 8, 2016 "Election Day Prayer"

Lord God, as the election approaches,

we seek to better understand the issues and concerns that confront our city/state/country,

and how the Gospel compels us to respond as faithful citizens in our community.

We ask for eyes that are free from blindness

so that we might see each other as brothers and sisters,

one and equal in dignity,

especially those who are victims of abuse and violence, deceit and poverty.

We ask for ears that will hear the cries of children unborn and those abandoned,

Men and women oppressed because of race or creed, religion or gender.

We ask for minds and hearts that are open to hearing the voice of leaders who will bring us closer to your Kingdom.

We pray for discernment

so that we may choose leaders who hear your Word,

live your love,

and keep in the ways of your truth

as they follow in the steps of Jesus and his Apostles

and guide us to your Kingdom of justice and peace.

We ask this in the name of your Son Jesus Christ and through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

The Lord is mighty to save, and He has the power to deliver you from any and all disease, habit and sin. I was delivered from past addictions and I am here to say His promises are real. He is real!

"And call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.” Psalm 50:15

It is in the hands of the Lord. To Him I

 place all my trust. Hold on to God today. 

Proverbs. 3:5

Saturday, November 5, 2016 "Who To Elect"

We must elect leaders who will not defame the Lord's laws. We must elect those that will fight for our freedom and allow us to express our faith. The future of the country is in the hands of God's children.

Moreover, look for able men from all the people, men who fear God, who are trustworthy and hate a bribe, and place such men over the people as chiefs of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens. Exodus 18:21

It is not our right to not forgive someone. If we harbor un forgiveness in our hearts, we are losing out on our own blessings from God. I am sorry but my faith and relationship with the Lord is more important than any action, deed or word done against me by another. If you are holding on to something someone said or did to you, why not let it go today and give it to God? It is not worth it. I refuse to allow anyone to come between me and my God. Instead I choose to forgive, let the ill will go and move on. I honestly feel better and am at peace and so will you. Nothing is more important than pleasing Him. 

 But if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 6:15

It is very hard to remain silent when others are doing wrong. But I believe in the power of Jesus Christ, and I know the sins of man cannot be kept in the dark. I know all things will come out in the end. I do not need to fight my battle for the battle is the Lord's and HE will fight for me for vengeance is His. Is it hard to wait? Yes! But no matter how long it takes for the wrong to be made right, I will wait upon the Lord. 

"But their evil intentions will be exposed 

when the light shines on them." Ephesians 5:13

Wednesday, November 2, 2016 "Time to Rest"

I have heard it before and it really resonates with me lately. When we rest, God works and when we work, God rests. I choose to rest in Him today and call upon Him to work on my behalf.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 

 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
