ONE NATION UNDER GOD

Had opportunity to minister prayer yesterday in a town close by. It was surely Festival Time there and the berries had been picked. There was a church service in the park and we had an awesome teaching about giving the parables Jesus gave. We were taught how to get the children involved more in the main service, and we are all about that, are we not? Or are we following God's voice from years ago? Surely we must bring the "kids" into hearing the truth and teach them by our example. That example looks like all sitting together in the service and receiving the short parable and asking questions about it.


In the prayer the Lord had me give, I was certain of how important it is right now for those to be willing to run into "that fire"..........that will pull those who are on their "way to hell"..........and bring them back to the Word and by prayer. Amen. And the foundation scripture was Psalm 56. For truly the Lord knows our wanderings, and our tears He keeps in a bottle, are they nor in His book? But the wandering man is looking for something always! But when faced with enemies, and his name is satan, he will be turned back knowing God is for us. (verse 9 of Psalm 56) In God we praise His Word and in the Lord, we will praise His Word. For our trust is in Him and not in man. What can man do to us (you or me)?


Jude 20 - 24
20 But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. 21 Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

22 Be merciful to those who doubt; 23 snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear-hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.

24 To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy- 25 to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.    NIV


Yes, surely we are to build ourselves up in our most holy faith, and pray in the Holy Spirit. We are  to pray in tongues. We are to keep ourselves in God's love as we wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring us to eternal life. REMEMBER that God has placed eternity in us..........and we will certainly spend eternity somewhere.............if not saved, then in hell. Not all paths lead to heaven .........THE ONLY WAY to heaven is through Jesus Christ!


Ecclesiastes 3:11
11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.    NKJV

Luke 3:6
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.' "    NKJV

John 11:25-26
 25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die.
NKJV

John 14:6

 6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.               NKJV

Our building comes by being in the Word and in prayer. As we saw in 9.11 in 2001.......we certainly saw those running into those buildings. We saw the paramedics, the firefighters, and police officers placing their lives on the line to bring people out of the crumbling and fuel drenched buildings. They ran into the smokey filled area and saw the ash fall like rain. They felt the tremble of the failing buildings under their feet as they made their way up staircases that held people or only fallen debris. I watched as many did and I thought of the heroic acts these men and women displayed as they ran in while others were running out.

My prayer yesterday and directed by God is that we would desire to be THAT percentage as we saw that day..............BE those who would be willing to run in and get those out who on are their trip that is taking them to hell. 

Will we dare to take our place, and run to find those, like those officers and firefighters did that eventful day? What if we just started by praying for them? Well, Shelley, my life is busy and those things are for me and mine!!! REALLY?
Are those things so far from us...........for there is gun violence in the major cities right now or do you not see it on T.V.? There is gun violence in schools and colleges.

Well, no Shelley, I really try to get the negative out of my life,....and......I tell you everyone here on this earth is in the SAME BOAT!!!

Will we say..........."THAT WE ARE ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL." ?

For truly we will show our true colors. We will show who we are in this hour of tribulation, and will we not take our stand and give a voice for God?  Will we lift our voices in unity for the good.........the truth of God's Word and declare Him God over every situation that is going on?

We are seeing refugees fleeing of tyranny...........they flee as families away from that which tends to behead them and destroy them ......these Syrians are fleeing from...............those who destroy. Will our hearts not pray out to God for these people............and say "ENOUGH". THAT IT IS TIME FOR THIS TO STOP!"  Because if we show no care, is it possible it could come to this great nation?

May we never see that occur in this nation...........May we always have a nation under God..............where justice of His truth rules and reigns. Let' seek to show ourselves strong and may we have 'FAITH LIKE POTATOES'.

Father, it is in Jesus that we live, move and have our being! May we take our stand against tyranny. May we rise in YOUR word and in prayer and have a voice to declare there is BUT ONE GOD! May we rise in Your power and speak as YOU direct us by Your Holy Spirit. May we be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.(Matt. 10:6) For Your Word tells us that he who endures to the end will be saved. (verse 22) 

Father, " it is enough for a disciple that he like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household! (25) For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed and hidden that will not be known."

Father, in Jesus name, "Whatever You tell us in the dark, we pray to speak in the light; and what You speak in our ear, we pray to preach on the housetops. For we will not fear those who can kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather we fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Father, we desire to be those to confess Jesus before men, for then Jesus will also confess us before YOU the Father Who is in heaven. (verse 32)

Our delight is in You and we desire to glorify You in everything we do and everything we speak. May it be as we have prayed in Jesus' name. Amen.
