What Would You Do?

I have been reading a lot yesterday and today about God's heart for this nation in the current time. A well-known pastor even said that the moment GW Bush said "So help me God, " at the Inauguration that the curse was lifted off the nation. Dutch Sheets says that we WILL see God saving hundreds of thousands, one individual at a time.

Do we believe that He will do this?

Personally this has been speaking to me about one thing I could do to show God I am serious and I believe Him and that I want to work with Him to save the lost...those in my community...those in your community, redeeming one situation at a time, transforming lives one at a time...and changing the landscape of Christianity and America.

There is a story in one of his books that Sheets writes about Gordon Lindsay and what he went through for his daughter's life...she was rebellious...and living a life of sin...so Lindsay started fasting and the days dragged into weeks. He wife and others became concerned for his health. He said, "Either Carole will have to die or I will. If she continues in life as she is she will kill herself and this mininstry." After 30 days...Gordon felt God ahd answered the prayer...They then began speaking God's Word of love over her and she came to the Lord and serves in Israel.

Dutch Sheets, in another book talks about God's heart for America...that God longs to save those we love...I am convinced he longs to save this land with little fires sweeping the nation.

But I think it is time to get serious...professional counselors say to break the hold of a thing on you to change your routine. That is what I think we need to do. What could you do to break the spiritual stornghold over your family? What could you do to show God you are serious - that you believe He will save your loved ones...it may as simple as consistent prayer, or one day fast or a prolonged fast, or starting a prayer group of people on you block who want to see those on your block saved.

Your demonstration to God may be what He wants to use to accomplich His purposes in that person's life.

I will say that there is something speical about the threefold cord of fasting, giving and praying as outlined in Matthew....I have been led this way many times...all THREE should be part of out regular life. Special fasting should be undertaken to break the chains of wickedness over our lives and the lives of others.

Soooo, what will you do?

Sincerely

Sara

My brother's in the world, on drugs, committing all kinds of sin. I honestly don't even know if he's saved. It's been awhile since I've spoken to him as he's very abusive. My husband and I pray together every night for our family in general, but maybe it's time to do some situation-specific praying.....

I will work without ceasing to attest the sufficiency of God's Creation in meeting every human need. I'll do that by speaking up whenecer there is a conversation about wickedness or poverty or behavior that is not socially healthy.

For instance, I too am grateful that George W. is in the White House because now we people of faith have an opportunity to speak to the Presidency about public policy that harmonizes with the perspective that the earth is the birthright of all people, a gift to all from the Creator. Sadly. despite many respectful missives sent to the Bush Administration, it refuses to honor God by establishing Creation as the commonwealth. Instead, the Bush Administration continues on with the long train of misguided public policy that serves those who have taken hold of Creation as their personal potential income=generating instrument.

How Christian it would be to socialize Creation's market rent (without taking away people's title to land)! And, of course, by socializing land rent we could curb if not abolish the various taxes that socialize privately created income, eg. the sales tax, the income tax on earned income, etc!

Write your letter to GW today!

I remember Dutch Sheets from several years ago and hope to get his message on Prayer again someday.. :whistling:

Yes ..praying and fasting has a big affect as every time I fast I know I am in my spirit more open and in tune with the Lord...

I too believe we need to Pray in Faith believing God will do what He has said He would do...

and We know what He has said by listening when praying and or fasting ... :emot-lwt:

Sara..there is a prayer section that I believe you may be blessed by..

read along the line where it says Christian forums and the one link is the link to the Prayer forum...

Lord Bless

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this study, I'll be focusing on Daniel and his picture of the resurrection and its connection with Yeshua (Jesus).

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
